The first post is essentially a list of proposed things to answer the question "How should communities assess their schools’ integration of digital technologies for learning and teaching?" They include but are not limited to:Adequate personnel resources for supporting technology integration (e.g., learning technologists, information technology support staff)The role of technology use in class instruction (e.g., student v. teacher use, consumption v. production, replication v. acceleration or transformation of learning and teaching),Accessibility of adaptive technologies for students with special needs. Ongoing, content-specific professional development for teachers that focuses on pragmatic solutions to technology integration in their context, and student and family access to learning technologies after/away from school. If we can get just these ideas integrated into all our classrooms it would be great!
For this post I chose to go back a few posts because the others were not very substantive.In this post the author writes of three "visions" for use of technology in education. He seems to be arguing the even with the best hardware , without good software and the knowledge of how to utilize both the students and teachers will not be able to use technology to its full potential. He states, "Used well, the computer extends the breadth, depth and complexity of potential projects."
