Thanks to Vanessa for this:

Marilee Sprenger developed seven strategies for teachers to try when they feel like they can’t keep up to their technologically advanced students.

Provide refection time. Sprenger states it is important to give your students time to reflect after they have been researching on the internet for a while. This allows the students’ time to absorb the information allowing the students to use different parts of their brain which in turn gives overworked areas some rest.
Disarm them. Have your students put away their devices for a short period of time in your class. This can allow them to practice listening to one person at a time.
Let them teach. Digital Natives are extremely knowledgeable when it comes to technology. Allow them to show off what they know; it can be a lesson for other students as well as yourself.
Use interactive white boards. Since Digital Natives are used to communicating to the world through a screen use it in your class room. It can allow you to bring in PowerPoint presentations and videos.
Build emotional literacy. When students immerse themselves into technology they start to lose social skills. It inhibits their ability to read facial cues and body language. By taking a few minutes each day to ask students how they are feeling teachers can help students. Teachers should also help students become aware of others feelings.
Teach Mindfulness. By doing meditation techniques teachers can help lower stress levels and increase attention for their students.
Encourage storytelling. Allow your students to tell stories about all the information they have learned using technology (37-39).

Discussion groups - If DN are truly different and we must modify our teaching to accommodate them, what do we have to offer them from what we have done in schools previously??? In other words, don't throw the baby out with the bath water!

What should we KEEP, and teach the value of, to DN?
What were your best teachers' practices?
Could they be enhanced by technology or should they be retained as is?

KEEP --- Essays, teachers, learning, debates, expression of ideas, listening skills, ability to connect, flexibility, engagement, humor, decency, subject knowledge, well-roundedness, respect

DROP --- standardized assessment, negativity, straight lecturing, high-weighted tests

Changing information / Changing education

Should the iTouch (or any small small wireless device) be the textbook for this course?

- or In my pocket I have 275000 words, all K-12 math formulae, the periodic table, star charts, the brain and more
- so "What are you going to make of it?"

Metaphors again:
"Similarly, the computer model might lead us to think that we're programmed. But such a belief would have us "dumb down" our educational system, substituting programming for teaching, and being programmed for learning."
Finally -- although there are many other possible examples--computers may model rationality (they don't, actually), but they sure don't touch emotion. The computing metaphor treats emotion as a mere epiphenomenon, an accidental byproduct like the heat generated by a TV set. As "information" appliances, computers are already biased against emotion, preferring a "just the facts, ma'am" world. But emotions are about what things mean to us and thus enable information to matter. They are the engines of personhood, not a byproduct."
Now for the hard part. Suppose for the moment that the Web is as defining of the coming age as the steam engine and computers were of theirs. How are we going to understand ourselves in light of the Web?"
(from KMWorld )

What are the first three metaphors that come to mind when you think of the internet?

What are some of the visual images of the internet (and links)

Some examples from a google images search for internet metaphors:

Stream, Amy Hogan Thesis (check the publications list for HCI 2005 pdf), Art Teacher's Guide , Legal Issues (video 3:30), Freedom Lab, Transcending (or Web You.0) , , , ,

Continuum, not curriculum

What is it?

How to use technology to enhance:

Critical and Creative Thinking

Ethics and Responsibility

ICT literacy

Infusion into the curricula, not supplementary, complementary or integrated.

Use the tech when you need it to get info or solve a problem.

Cognitive Domain (Big Ideas)

Plan and question

Gather resources

Produce and show understanding

Communicate

Reflect

Affective Domain (Big Ideas)

Ethics and Responsibility

Motivation and Confidence

Collaboration

Social Implications

Levels of Thinking

Knows and Comprehends

Analyze and Apply

Synthesize and Evaluate

You don’t schedule your tech time at home – why do we do it at school? Use it when you need it.

Educational Technology Definition
from Educational Technology (Nov-Dec 2009)

"Educational technology is the study and ethical practice of facilitating learning and improving performance by creating, using, and managing appropriate technological processes and resources."

1) Frameworks for thinking about tech in ed.

2) Metaphors (Lakoff and Johnson) - What are some technology metaphors???

Argument as war / dance
Time is money / water
Conduit communication (ideas are objects transmitted to others)

Tech metaphors - Paul Tuesner's list, David Weinberger

So what are we promoting when we use technology and what do we need to promote to create a 'balanced' education?
