There are a few important criteria that education technology must satisfy before being used in education. Otherwise, we have a problem.
Nancy Jones's insight:
It is about the Why versus the with what.

"Almost like a demigod, the education industry seeks the golden bullet that will solve the problem of providing an engaging personalized learning experience for every child and we assume it will have a USB port." With failed leadership do not expect this to change. I do like the first point: Make the teacher's life easier.

Emerging, Engaging, Extending and Empowering, that is wonderful! Technology can be used across the board, and definitely empowers/self-directs. You're right they do line up.

Programming is something that is not only important for students, but teachers as well. I moved from a Humanities background to Tech integration, and this is an area I want to work on.

I developed this quiz with members of my personal learning network (found at end of post) to get students thinking about their digital footprint. The quiz was created at the request of high school students I spoke with who thought the creation of a such a quiz could lead to a smart conversation about ways students can update their digital footprint so that it is one that leads to college and career success.

Nancy Jones's insight:
Important tool and topic. Kids just don't "get it"
Beth Dichter's curator insight,

If you work with students in high school (or even college) you might want to have them check out this digital footprint quiz. Students answer 8 questions and score their quiz. There are six possible outcomes:
* Negative Score: Clean up time
* No Score: You’re off the radar
* 1 - 10 points: You’re a New “Foot” on the Block
* 11 - 15 points: You’re Making Strides
* 16 - 20 points: You’re a Rising star! (or “Digital Weaver”)
* More than 20 points: You’re Web Wise!
More details are available for each description.

Technology affects all of us: from our working lives, to our home and social lives. There is no denying that the growth of technology, particularly in the last ten years, has been at an unprecedented pace.
Ivon Prefontaine's curator insight,
March 28, 6:11 PM
"It is likely that schools will have to regularly update their IT programme of study so that they can keep up with the rapid advances of technology. This is particularly prevalent with the increasing use of online research and educational software being used as teaching and learning aids through the use of mobile devices"
If we know what our values are and can stay true to them, this is doable. If we do not, not so much.

"Why do I need to teach movie making? Because you want students to create good content that they can share.
Why do I need to teach how to search? Because you want students to have the skill of evaluating and analyzing."
Via S. Lustenhouwer, Audrey Nay, Petra Pollum, Jamie Forshey
Nancy Jones's insight:
We need to stay away from the verb teach and embrace the word learn.In doing so, we embrace our partnership with the students and become a learning community; these are the first steps in a true collaborative learning community. Embrace the fact that students have something to bring to the table to share.

An important point to remember when we are considering using technology in the classroom. The integration of technology can be a help in the classroom while simply using technology can become a hinderance. So where do we make that distinction?
