how is technology generating HEAT in
YOUR learning environment?

• Higher Order Thinking - Student learning/questioning at synthesis/evaluation

• Engaged Learning - Students help define the task, the process, and the solution;
collaborations extend beyond the classroom.

• Authenticity - The learning experience is directly relevant to students and involves
creating a product that has a purpose beyond the classroom that directly impacts the
students.

• Technology - Technology use is directly connected and needed for task completion
and students determine which application(s) would best address their needs.


“How can we use
technology to collapse
the distance between
children in our
classrooms and
meaningful
contributions that they
can make?”

Are we empowering our children with digital tools
or dis-empowering them by disconnecting them?


“It used to be that the
superintendent and the
School Board made
decisions and said, 'This
is how it's going to be,'
and the community
would accept that.”

“While you’ve been hiring Communications experts
to create a smooth-talking, slick appearance for your
K-12 school district, establishing policies about who
gets to post what, and creating a chain of command
to ensure that only appropriate and approved
materials show up on your static district web site,
your students, teachers, parents, community and
Media outlets have been creating little interactive
web sites for their own use, telling their version of
your story."

--Miguel Guhlin’s adaptation of Seth Godin’s work
in Meatball Sundae (must-read!)

You cannot stop people any longer.
You cannot control them any
longer. They can bypass your
established media; they can
broadcast to one another; they can

The question to ask yourself now is,
Are you a Patriot or a Tory?


In high-freedom environments,
people use social tools for fun. In
low-freedom environments they
use them for political action.

--Clay Shirky

Are you prepared for political action in your school district?


If we do the wrong things and
move slowly, we all lose. If we
do the right things but move
too slowly, we still lose.

It is time to do the right things
and do them now.
--Jim Rex (2008) as cited at the Successful Teaching Blog,

School districts are more focused on
dealing with the problems of Web 2.0
than on challenges to leverage Web

what to do?


the Moodle rush


The rush continues....


how we read, write, and
communicate has changed
fundamentally.

what does this mean for you in your
situation?


Creating the Walled

Garden


Economically disadvantaged
students, who often use the
computer for remediation and
basic skills, learn to do what
the computer tells them, while
more affluent students...learn
to tell the computer what to do.

“The nice thing about Moodle is that
it can be exactly what you as a
teacher want it to be. It can be as
simple as websites and online text
assignments to entire units of study
incorportating webtools like wiki,
blogs, chat, forums, etc.”
--Paula Clough


Those who cannot claim computers
as their own tool for exploring the
world never grasp the power of
technology...

They are controlled by technology as
adults--just [they were]...controlled
[by] them as students.
