Pamela Alaniz's curator insight, May 12, 2019 10:06 PM
This website offered a variety of tools to teach someone of the uses of Google. The videos were excellent and very informative, the resources in which you can go back and look over materials to help incorporate with the use of Google was useful and teachers would benefit if they take a little bit of time and look over some of the material. Having available resources on hot to teach digital skills to students will only further help your instruction be more student-centered as kids rely more on their own intuitions and act on their own initiatives when doing their assignments.

15 iPad Skills Every Teacher and Student should Have - Apps linked to your learning goals

15 iPad Skills Every Teacher and Student should Have - Apps linked to your learning goals | Into the Driver's Seat | Scoop.it
From www.educatorstechnology.com - January 12, 2013 12:53 AM

"iPad has made such a radical change in education with more and more school districts  adopting it as a learning tool inside the classroom. Educational Technology and Mobile Learning  has been helping teachers all along the way with reviews and tutorials on how to get started using iPad in education. We have reviewed more than 500 apps and we are planning to do more reviews this year.

"Having accumulated a modest experience in dealing with educational iPad apps, we deem it important that we share with you some of the learning goals you should keep in mind when using iPad with your students. We have particularly associated sets of educational iPad apps with each learning goal to make it easier for you to achieve the targeted goal.

"Check the learning goals below and share with us your feedback. Enjoy"

Looks more like a walk down an exhibit hall of vendors than skill/talent tied to teaching & learning.
Richard Whiteside's curator insight, February 19, 2016 5:10 AM

These and many other tools are available. But if you are a teacher, what do you think? Is it really necessary to have all these skills? There is so much content readily available online and if you can organise to prepare materials in teams, or have access to a PLN on or offline, then you can share the load. 

 

Some teachers and content creators have specific skills and their expertise can be used or accessed by anyone. Personally, I think it's good for teachers to be aware of the digital possibilities for their teaching context, but it is generally unrealistic for anyone to expect all teachers to become skilled in so many different areas. 

 

Is it not better to pick fewer areas more relevant to you and focus on them? Be a master of a few areas useful to you, not a jack of all trades feeling stressed that you are master of none.

Preparing students for work in the 21st Century - whitepaper

Preparing students for work in the 21st Century - whitepaper | Into the Driver's Seat | Scoop.it
From pages.brightbytes.net - September 27, 2013 12:08 AM

"How can education professionals modify the way they teach and engage students today in order to prepare those students fortomorrow’s changing work environments?


"In part one of this three-part series, education experts Will Richardson and Rob Mancabelli explore the realities of the 21st century workplace. It can be said—without a doubt—that the future world of work for today’s students will be vastly different than what we have traditionally prepared these students for. But what implications does this have for today’s classrooms?


"This whitepaper explores the following:

  • The five realities of working in the 21st century
     
  • New challenges faced by students seeking work today
     
  • How traditional definitions of collaboration, communication and data sharing are affecting the workplace and the classroom"
