“It still shocks me, the extent to which we
continue to dumb down the aﬀordances of
the Web and technology for authentic
learning in the service of keeping the system
grinding no matter what the obstacle.”
Will Richardson

sharpen a pencil. Pen and ink will never
replace the pencil.”

People seem to start in a state of blissful
ignorance. They are not aware of what is
going on around them and frankly don’t care.
Blissful !
Ignorance
http://www.andybudd.com/archives/2005/10/the_six_stages_of_technological_acceptance/

Denial
People have heard about this new
technology, but it’ll never take off and its
not something they will ever need to know.

People don’t get why everybody else thinks the technology
is interesting and they don’t, so they get angry.
Anger

Finally people come to the conclusion that if enough
people think the technology is interesting, they better
start learning about it or risk being left behind.
Acceptance

!
The light-bulb goes on and people start to
get why the new technology is so interesting.
Understanding

People get good at the new ways of thinking
and actually start getting other people
interested in the technology.
Enthusiasm

I’m looking for technologies that make us
more human not less.

“Be aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the
Stryrofoam cup: The roots go down and the plant
goes up and nobody really knows how or why, but we
are all like that.” Everything I Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten

“We Have Responsibility to Awe”

"What will a new technology do?"
is no more important than the question,
"What will a new technology undo?”

“...the pattern has been that as children grow up and
become more proficient at making sense of the
environment in which they live, their world seems to
become more stable. Thus, as a child grows and
becomes accustomed to the world, the perceived need
for play.”

“As we watch the world move to a state of near-constant
change and flux, we believe that connecting play
and imagination may be the single most important
step in unleashing the new culture of learning.”

“Failure is free, high-quality
research, offering direct evidence
of what works and what doesn’t.
Cheap failure, valuable as it is on
its own, is also a key part of a more
complex advantage: the exploration
of multiple possibilities.”
Clay Shirky

“Until that point in the year, I had not seen such a
high level of engagement and interest from every
student in my classroom. This was differentiation
and engaging learning at it’s best (for me anyways!).
Students that have a tough time getting excited
about anything at school were ecstatically sharing
their games and apps with classmates.
Collaboration and the desire to share and work
with one another quickly emerged as each student
learned something “cool” that they needed to share
with everyone, so they could use it.”

Technology
will never
replace
teachers.

However, teachers who know how to use
technology effectively connect and collaborate
together online will replace those who do not.
