How can you select emerging technologies which fit your developing philosophy of education?
word of mouth internet reports Find Sort enhance • collaborative engage easy support? Choose
Finding technology is the (somewhat) easy part • Search online • Search (Google, Firefox, Bing, Duck Duck Go, AOL….) with terms to narrow the field –like top 10 educational apps • Listservs • Blogs • Word of mouth • Colleagues • Google+ Circles • Students • RSSs • Twitter • Reports • Horizon • Magazines
Taming the tsunami of information • Focus on apps/devices that • have a specific use—math, science e.g. • have personal resonance—hard to teach the use of what you don’t love, or at least like • your colleagues have recommended • your students have recommended • Set • a time limit—spend 20 minutes searching e.g. • an app/device limit –e.g. choose 2 a month
How to filter? • Is the app/device— • easy to use for students and instructors • enhancing learning • engaging students attention and focus • collaborative so students can easily share learning with all their networks • supported by infrastructure? • All students should be able to use it without interruption of service • supporting? • Can all learners use it in a way that effectively supports their learning preference/ability
How can you inspire, initiate and implement sustainable integration of emerging technologies in your own practice, and in the practice of others?
integrate use technology in a purposeful way so that it enhances , engages students with, and constructs rather than delivers content (from 12 Ways To Integrate (Not Just Use) Technology In Education) inspire with students, colleagues, administration and tech teams-- show how the technology can work * have fun with it and share that joy * take risks * be bold * make mistakes unashamedly buy in get it from students, colleagues, admin, and tech teams nurture it with ongoing enthusiasm * encourage feedback learn from everyone! * to cultivate a teaching/learning environment for everyone * unreservedly * unabashedly persist because apps/devices will work differently for different people * because apps/devices will keep changing * because, like all journeys, using technologies effectively will start with a simple first step
