  1. Quality teaching and learning enabled by ICT There’s nothing magical about any tech tool. Real magic rests in the minds and hearts of teachers using digital tools to introduce students to new individuals, ideas and opportunities. Ferriter

  2. The technology is only an enabler. Our use of technology needs to be driven by the teaching and learning. It’s not about the technology, it’s about the pedagogy.

  7. Glance through the article…We the web kids “The internet to us is not something external to reality but a part of it; an invisible, yet constantly, present layer intertwined with the physical environment.”

  8. The teacher in a contemporary classroom understands… • the more powerful technology becomes the more indispensable good teachers are • that learners must construct their own meaning for deep understanding to occur • technology generates a glut of information but is notpedagogically wise • teachers must become pedagogical design experts,leveraging the power of technology Fullan [Fullan, 1998]

  9. My goal in life is to find ways in which children can use technology as a constructive medium to do things that they could not do before; to do things at a level of complexity that was not previously accessible to children. Prof Seymour Papert 1998

  10. The unconnected classroom / learner during school time occasional expert visits school community occasional class excursions teachers school library snail mail mobiles, phones, fax machines, TV, video

  12. View the videos and discuss… What evidence of quality teaching and learning did you observe? Does ICT add value? Consider what teachers and students contributed…

  13. It is important to note that when technology does not produce improvements in student outcomes, it is often because the necessary conditions for the effective integration of technology, such as a school-wide strategy for teaching and learningand teachers trained in its use, have not been met.

  15. Final thoughts Digital technologies … cannot replace teachers, but can support them in accomplishing much higher levels of student engagement and achievement. Similarly, great teachers cannot effectively reach young learners without adopting new pedagogies that align with web 2.0 principles, and few education systems can prepare their learners for prosperity without supporting the development of 21st century skills.

  16. Positive deviance Somewhere in your organisation, groups of people are already doing things differently and better. To create lasting change, find areas of positive deviance and fan their flames. -Pascale & Sternin, Harvard Business Review http://www.positivedeviance.org/
