  1. Learning with ICT Peter Kent pi_kent@bigpond.net.au 'It is easy to get ICT right, but it is easier to get it wrong.'

  2. Why use technology?

  3. Response One One thing that researchers agree on is that any technology we use will change the brain. You are who you are largely because of the way the brain cells wire up in response to the environment and the things you do. - Professor Martin Westwell.

  4. Response Two

  5. What does the research tell us? The research indicates that the effective use of ICT to promote student learning is at best mixed. (Becta 2007) A 2003 meta-analysis of educational research in the UK indicates that educational interventions such as teaching 'thinking skills' is likely to be three times more effective at improve student learning than the use of ICT.

  6. ..and a bit of this... It is a bit of this...

  7. as well as a lot of this.....

  8. What should students be using ICT for? General mention of ICT 'across the curriculum.' Practically no mention of ICT No mention of curriculum There are two fundamental questions that teachers need consider when planning activities relating to how students should be using technology. 1. What is the depth of understanding, or level of competence, that our school’s curriculum documents expect from students within this subject area, at this year level? 2. In the context of the answer to question 1, what particular technology (ies) would allow students to reach and exceed these expectations?

  9. Curriculum Program Within a school’s English program for year 6 students is the statement: Student will experiment with writing poetry in a variety of forms (e.g. haiku and form poetry). Powerpointlessness ‘have the students write a haiku poem in a word processor, or even present the poem in a PowerPoint’ as shown by ‘have the students write a haiku poem (in a word processor) using a pen, or even (present the poem in a PowerPoint) using a combination of pen and coloured pencils. Taking advantage of Technology ‘have the students take a digital photo of a location in the school that they associate with a strong emotion. Students are to use this photo as a prompt write a haiku poem in a word processor, or PowerPoint. Students are to create at least three versions of the poem by changing the vocabulary used to express emotion’.

  10. The key to the effective integration of ICT is to use: the natural advantage of ICT linked to the verbs of the curriculum.

  11. Creativity We are currently preparing students for jobs that do not exist yet, using technologies that haven’t yet been invented, in order to solve problems we don’t even know are problems. (Karl Fisch) Innovative organizations need creative people. - CEO Leadership Summit

  12. (‘Creat* / Produce / Construct / Design) appear in the NZ curriculum 110 times

  13. Research What percentage of the knowledge you need to do your job is stored in your own mind? 1986: 75% 1997: 15-20% 2006: estimated 8 -10% Robert Kelley, Carnegie-Mellon University ‘Investigate / Research / Question / Explore’ occur 165 times in the NZ curriculum.

  14. Communication and Collaboration Effective people know how to use communication to get buy-in for their ideas. These people have what we might call a "communication advantage”. (Dr Janis Forman, UCLA) ‘Communicate / Express / Describe / Collaborate / Team’ occur 274 times in the NZ curriculum.

  15. Online communication can help us differentiate according to 'life style' factors.

  16. Understand Understanding occurs when children take information and make it their own, using it to solve problems, draw conclusions and construct explanations. Understand(ing) - occurs 590 times in the NZ Curriculum Analyse, Apply, etc
