Ch. 3 Notes

-        The thing that has changed the most in our classrooms is the where, what, who and the how. (How we teach and learn).

-        Where- we can learn anywhere.

-        What- Kids get up and active, Technology, Curriculum.

-        Who- Diversity of students and teachers, both male and female teachers,

-        How-

  One of the greatest misconceptions about “computers” is that when they were first introduced people (the world) thought that they would revolutionize the education world. They did not. Why? Knowing how to use it and use effectively, teachers have strong opinions and my not want to change, lack of teacher training, too big to manage (upgrading), too much money.

    The book defines information technology as the application of a tool to solve problems related to information.   

   Tools extend human capability: Hammer, Medical tools (cameras, scalpels, x-ray), Jaws of life (emergency tools).

   Tools that extend teach capability: Computers, photo copiers, smart boards, projectors, pens pencils (writing utensils).

Learners of today:                                                               Place/Amount

-Learners of today have access to more info than any previous generation.   

    -As the access & amount of info increases, the process of learning & teaching must change.

    - So how do schools meet the needs of today’s learner?

         -problem solving

         - search, evaluate, create is the new lexicon of learning. (lol)

Learner of tomorrow:  

-        Computer is not a tool it’s an appliance.

-        Students will carry even more powerful portable comp devices that are dedicated to accessing & sharing info.

-         V.R. & A.R. will be the new wave of learning (virtual and augmentive reality).
