1-to-1

Future Device Decision

Standard
The decision(s) regarding what 1-to-1 computing will look like at ZIS in the future will happen before the end of March. Your “story” as it pertains to 1-to-1 is very useful and needed! Please “tell your story” by filling out the questionnaire.  Alternatively, if you would like to “tell your story” in person, I will make time! Later this week the Device Review Group will meet to come up with the educational lens through which all conversations about future device options will be considered.

Are You Using Educational Technologies Well?

Standard
Are you using tech like a connoisseur?

Yes, I’m mentioning it again:) Why, because it’s essential that we use technology in ways that actually make learning better.  As Eisner (1991) would say- our ability to make fine grain discriminations among complex subtle qualities, seeking out what’s truly worthy, is not an easy task, thus we must revisit this concept often.

Ask yourself these three important questions:
1.    Is the use of technology enhancing conceptual knowledge?
2.    Is the use of technology elevating the level of engagement?
3.    Is learning being differentiated with technology to meet each student where they are at?
If you answer is no to all three…TURN OFF THE MACHINES:)
