"Continuing to teach in the stretching shadow of technology while only dealing with it through glimpses and gimmick is an awkward arrogance we may be dealing with for some time to come. But while education bickers on about how to best educate children, those children are making powerful moves–sometimes intentionally, sometimes as thoughtless, drifting trends–to fully reinvent the way human beings connect."
Beth Dichter's insight:
When you think of technology do you think of connected learning? Do you consider how you can use the Internet? Have you considered what the word Internet means: "inter, meaning connected, and net, as in network, visualizing multiple connectors and connectees." Many of our students have access to the Internet, and they use that access outside of school. How? They communicate, text messaging, twitter, video and more. This post explores what may happen as more and more students connect using social media. After exploring acces the post moves on to discuss how technology impacts "peer performance" (and assessment). Technology provides tools that allows students to curate and critique performance. The final section explores how this common experience has the potential to impact learners, in "visible and invisible ways."
