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?

Assignment Q and A

Extra help on basics like PowerPoint and wikis and blogs (before or after class???)


0) Comments on the readings/listenings/watchings - Is this the dumbest generation?


Lack of basic skills, remedial courses are being offered, academic writing course offered which wasn't offered before
Good at using applications but many of us have no idea how it works, disposable society
More kids going to university than ever before, but is technology the reason?  No evidence to suggest technology is the reason
Students are boring, their form of entertainment revolves around texting.......
Students are more gullable, but is some areas they're less gullable, selectively well informed, can check things on the internet
Is there proof that they're dumber?  It's not a yes or no answer......
Difficulty in deciphering what they find, they have everything they need to find the answer but can't find it, they have difficulty finding meaningful info, don't know how to properly read a text, have too many choices that they don't know what to choose, don't know where to start, stopping is harder,

1) What are schools for? What is education? Why are you here? What do you hope to accomplish with your students?
     

    Write down a one or two sentence response
    Share with one other person and modify/revise if you wish
    Share with another pair of people

What do some 'experts' say?


2) Education has gone from a religious focus/control to an industrial focus/control to "information focus ", but who’s in control??


  • How is the world changing? The World is Flat by Thomas Friedman.
  • Heat: How to Stop the Planet From Burning by George Monbiot. – the book
  • Tools I use to communicate – Webct, RSS (bloglines and Google Reader), blogs (NL, google and bloglines), Librarything, wikis (school and PD)
  • Internet vs. the library – do kids choose any differently on the internet than they would in a library?
  • What tech do we really need in schools?
  • Hawthorne effect – what’s wrong with adding interest?

KMWorld.com: The metaphors of technology

  • tags: no_tag

    • 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? We can already begin to hear ourselves thinking of a memory lapse as a "broken link."

0) Is this the Dumbest Generation? Yes/No? Comments on the readings/listenings.

1) Important Ideas


 

Discussion Summary

Dumbest
  • students don't know how groups function: you have to give them roles.
  • internet is mainly used for gossip: facebook, twitter etc
  • we are more narcissistic now
  • information is more easily accessible, but are we actually taking advantage of it? do we use what is available, or waste time?
  • we are lazier. There is more technology, we do not have to think for ourselves.
  • LAZY NOT DUMB.
  • people don't know how to do hands-on kind of stuff. Passive activities are more common. Information is just given to you.

Not Dumbest
  • IQ scores are higher; graduate scores are up; graduate numbers are up
  • literacy is going down BUT information is being presented in a different way so people learn in different ways
  • get more information to the most amount of people... different ways
  • We are against video games.
  • kids are better at multi-tasking now. They can focus on more stuff.

4) Important Ideas


Discussion summary

In favour of the opinion that the "digital natives" are stoopid:
  • Decrease in literacy
  • Information used less frequently
  • Technologies distract from better uses of time
  • Decrease in critical thinking
  • The generation has become reliant on technology to complete simple tasks (spelling, calculating)
  • Socially stupid
  • Lower attention spans, interest, and motivation
  • Ain't got good grammar skillz

Against said opinion:
  • Easier access to information
  • Use of different media for reading (e.g. online)
  • Using technology in a technology-based society is beneficial
  • Work can be done faster
  • Greater ability to multitask/time-manage
  • It is not that the generation is stupid, but rather that they learn in a different manner
  • It is not a matter of stupidity, but instead that different skills have been acquired
  • btw vote 4 jason??? :)

Welcome to Teacher and Tech Fall 09

And so the trek begins.

We will be exploring the theme of the 'digital native' as we learn about technology in the classroom and how to use it well. We'll look at theory and we'll do some practical stuff - for you, for your students and for your 'community'.

You all have different levels of tech experience and knowledge of how to make good educational use of it, so this course is about pushing yourself forward from where you are now.

Work hard, push yourself and you will enjoy.

Too many people missing without letting me know. Thank-you to those who did.

Email me your list of deadlines please!

This week we decided not to take a break, but to finish earlier. Think about it.

LAB - most evenings we will start in the lab.

We started with internetteaching.pbwiki.com and learned that if you use the link in webct you can run into login problems, so just go directly to the site and log in there. Also - to reduce or eliminate the email notices, you can go to account (top right) and change the settings there.

We added pages, edited pages, learned about stealing the lock from other people, adding plug-ins and editing the sidebar (menu).

You can now start adding content to these pages (or make new pages) for assignment 1.

We also started a presentation in Google docs - which looks very much like a stripped down Powerpoint or Keynote. You can upload your PP work or you can download your presentations as PP files for when you don;t have internet access.

CLASS

We watched the video, Are Schools Killing Creativity? and discussed it's relevance for us and how we tend not to vary much from how we were taught. For the child gifted in skills that are not school skills, we have to find things to offer and encourage them. Schools were developed for an industrial age and all the priorities that go with it - reading, basic math, being on time, coming every day, doing the work an authority assigns to you ....

We talked about charter schools and hockey schools and whether they could work in Manitoba and how many diverse schools you can possibly have.

We did not get around to discussing the Poster article yet.

For next class read Is Google Making Us Stupid?

We were missing a number of people tonight - hmmmm. Only a couple emailed me to let me know.

We started by talking about the following questions in groups of 3 - 4:

- coolest cultural differences you have encountered
- what part of your 'heritage' is being lost (that which helps define you as German, Ukrainian, Chinese, Eritrean, ..... - Canadian ?
- why does English have so many foreign words?

This was in preparation for the notion that the internet may be the device that assimilates us all into one culture, and we need to think about whether that is a good thing and how to respond.

We talked about some of the readings. In particular was the Graham article:

Graham - Anarchy and the Internet --- the serious issues
- anarchy as good and bad (govt. as good or bad)
- cultural compliance / assimilation (who are the Borg?)
- cross-border disruption (subversive in that it can ignore existing governments)
Could this be democracy across political borders??)
- is knowledge = power ??
Does access to knowledge = knowledge??

Some quotes:

The first [assumption] is that knowledge is power. It is only if this is true that widespread unrestricted access to knowledge constitutes popular empowerment, and correspondingly that the inability to restrict it counts as a diminution in the power of the state. The second assumption is that the ability to contribute to the world of the internet also constitutes a power, an influence on outcomes in that world.

There is however a further line of thought worth exploring. This rests upon the idea that what the internet encourages is not so much political as moral anarchy, and that moral anarchy is inherently destructive.

moral education is most obvious in the early years of a life, but it continues indefinitely, and at every stage its form is the same - the submission and tempering of natural preferences to socializing influences.

Surfers have the the opportunity to seek out kindred spirits and to pass over the sort of reforming and refining influences that operate in normal processes of learning. This is evidenced most strikingly perhaps in such things as child pornography networks where, I shall assert, evil preferences are unchecked because those things which would check them can be ignored by the surfer, and are then strengthened by meeting with confirming responses. The logical outcome of this is moral fragmentation rather than moral community. Such fragmentation is anarchic in the bad sense.


In conclusion:


DON'T PANIC - educate and socialize!!

We have the responsibility to act and to educate our students.

Lab time

We logged in to WebCT, created Google accounts so we can try some of the Web 2.0 stuff like docs, mail, blogs, RSS readers, calendars, etc. You do not have to use gmail (or any of the others in the long run) but we can try these things with only one password and user name

We also requested access to internetteaching.pbwiki.com which is the wiki we will use with this class to share information about the internet, pedagogy and teaching resources.

NOTE: All the dates on the course outline are wrong! We go straight through until Nov 27. There is no class in December

Started with claiming user ID's and intros. Please make sure that you can login to WebCT (www.umanitoba.ca/webct)

We are a group from all over the grade and curriculum scales. It will be interesting to hear all the different perspectives while we talk about issues and resources.

We did some brainstorming and sharing about what we think is important about education. Some of the ideas we came up with are:

Ideas about education
Chance to play
Giving direction and meaning
Open doors
Power trips
Fostering curiousity
Enriching experiences
Keeping up to date
Learning
Stimulating
Creating global citizens
creating interaction
Positive role models
Creative thinking and problem solving
More than one solution
Understanding

We are being told that education has to change form an industrial model to an information age model. Are we doing this for our students or for the large corporations? Does it matter who we are doing this for?

Rennie demonstrated some of the communication tools he uses. They are linked on the course outline on webct

We also talked what is essential technology. Rennie thinks a word processor is the only computer tools a student really needs from K-12. Others think they only need the internet (and web2 tools). Whatever they need, they need direction in how to use it effectively and meaningfully - especially the internet.

Regarding the assinment about the internet protfolio. here is some more info:

You are to develop a portfolio that explores the potential of the internet for teaching and learning in your particular subject or interest area. The portfolio will consist of an exploration of 10-15 internet-based databases, concepts, “tools”, software or websites. Each should will be organized on a minimum of one page using the following structure:

Title, Description (What is it?),
Pedagogic Possibilities (How can it be used in the classroom?)
Potential Problems (What is the downside of this idea? Where might problems arise?)
Example (Provide an example of how the idea might be used.
References (Include here any websites consulted.)
Conclusion/Summary/Rating.

Some Details

Your portfolio should be accompanied by an introductory page and a conclusion page. Writing is to be in the third person, and should be written for a generic audience who might pick up the document without any knowledge of the course. In other words, this is an objective document, not subjective.
