Twitter for Learning: The Past, Present and Future

Twitter for Learning: The Past, Present and Future | Distance Learning, mLearning, Digital Education, Technology | Scoop.it
And since then, plenty more forward-thinking learning professionals have recognised the value of Twitter for their own professional learning – with Twitter rising to the top of the Top 100 Tools for Learning in 2008 and staying in that position for the last 6 years.

Now, of course Twitter has become mainstream, brands and celebrities have their own Twitter accounts to promote themselves, there are live chats every day on all kinds of topics  – with even TV programmes holding their own live chats. But just like with any society, it has unfortunately meant a darker side of Twitter has emerged too.

Nevertheless, Twitter is still the most important place for me to find out what is going on in the world, but I can understand how newcomers today might be daunted at the prospective of joining up. Most of the press would have them believe it’s just a place for finding out what their colleagues had for breakfast, or what their favourite celebrity is wearing today, but it has does have clear professional value too.

What are the Biggest Mistakes Teachers Make When Integrating Technology into the Classroom?

What are the Biggest Mistakes Teachers Make When Integrating Technology into the Classroom? | Distance Learning, mLearning, Digital Education, Technology | Scoop.it

What are the Biggest Mistakes Teachers Make When Integrating Technology into the Classroom?

 

The word “mistake” is a harsh word. It implies flaws, pointing fingers, errors in judgement, something wrong and possibly even a dead end. I would rather think or connect the word “mistake” to first steps, stepping stones, experimentation and exploration. With that being said, those “first steps” or that exploration cannot become a routine cemented in stone how technology is being used in the classroom. Stepping stones are meant to lead to something else.

 

For the sake of the prompt given, here are my top 5 “Mistakes” (in no particular order) which I  see, read and hear about as I travel the world to learn and work with schools, teachers and students:

 

- Technology being used to substitute an analog activity

 

- Technology use being seen as an add-on to allow students to use devices, the Internet, a program or an app as a reward, for entertainment, as a time filler for students who finish early

 

- Technology use as a separate subject area

 

- Technology as a $1000 pencil initiative

 

- Technology seen as the solution to motivate and engage students

- Technologie utilisée pour substituer une activité analogique. (NDLR: Quoiqu'il faille bien commencer quelque part!)
- Utilisation de la technologie considérée comme un add-on pour permettre aux étudiants d'utiliser des dispositifs, l'Internet, un programme ou une application comme une récompense, pour le divertissement, comme un passe-temps pour les étudiants qui terminent plus tôt.
- Utilisation de la technologie comme un sujet distinct du cours.
- La technologie comme un crayon à € 1000.
- Technologie vu comme la solution pour motiver et engager les élèves.
