I'm intrigued by the concept of embedded staff development. Is it organized with specific topics, or to teachers simply pursue their own professional development. A teacher who see himself as a master learner is finding (and inventing) ways to engage in embedded professional development all the time. - dfw

we read the last paragraph of novels, but only the first paragraphs of web content
15 Nov 2013 - 14:48:16
That's a very good point. But is that the difference between paper and LCD, or the difference between an article and a story. If I don't get to the last paragraph of a novel, it's not because of what I'm looking at. It's because I'm not identifying with the story. - dfw

Good point. But I don't agree. Our kids have not really replaced anything with this. It's just that they're together when their together, and also together when they're not. What's lost, I fear, is those times when we're alone with our own thoughts. We're always connected and never really alone. I heard someone say, once, that it's during those times alone with our own thoughts, that we're becoming ourselves. - dfw

15 Nov 2013 - 18:07:45

What is the cost?
15 Nov 2013 - 18:07:51
Worth it! Every other institution is paying the cost. We live in a networked, digital and information-abundant world, and can't predict the future we're preparing our children for. Should we be satisfied by continuing to teach them with 15th century technology? You find a way to pay for it, and keep paying. Some of the most successful 1:1 schools I've seen have also been some of the poorest. - dfw

When do we start "jacking in" ala The Matrix
15 Nov 2013 - 18:10:16
That's actually an excellent question. The term was first coined in William Gibson's Neuromancer, a classic cyberpunk science fiction novel. A lot of what I'm reading points to the idea that we could soon, technically, plug computing capabilities directly into our brains. It's a disgusting idea, right now. But there's a lot that's happening today, that we would not have liked the idea of fifty years ago. Imagine plugging a flash drive looking device into your head, behind your ear, and suddenly being able to speak and understand Mandarin. - dfw

So how do we prepare them to have in depth interactions using technology?
15 Nov 2013 - 18:11:05
It has to be what we expect of them. If we ask them questions that Google can answer, then Google answers are what we'll get. But if we ask them questions that requires them to cook those Googled answers in their heads to come up with something new, then they'll go deep, especially if they'll be recognized for their thinking. - dfw

@Rose Wilde And that follows the assumption that all our children have access to that technology to "play", i.e. learn from it.
15 Nov 2013 - 18:12:29
More of them have it at home than we usually imagine. But this country is still shamefully behind in getting high speed Internet to the homes of its citizens - and that is a national problem. Many countries have gotten access to every home, because they believed that it was in their self interest, as a democratic society. In Finland, high-speed Internet is a legal right for all citizens. - dfw

Our age diverse community does not understand that our students will need skills in technology. How do we communicate the unknown?
15 Nov 2013 - 18:12:50
It's the uncertainty. My generation grew up with certainty. We believed that we understood the world and that it would be all that was promised to us. Many still resent that it's changed. The trade of is clear, however. What we get along with uncertainty is opportunity. We have to make the opportunity so exciting that we forget about what we've lost. - dfw

15 Nov 2013 - 18:18:36
I suspect that you're paying somewhat less attention. However, I hope that you are actually getting more from it by interacting about it. Plus, I suspect that those who were not chatting will get even more by reading this. Often I'll have youngsters in the audience chat while the adults pay attention. Then I have them read the youngster's backchanneling. - dfw

Give them questionable information instead of the textbook, and condition them to question. Give them access to images and video and ask them to change it to tell a different story. Rather than asking them to write a report that only you will read, ask them to make a web page, video, music video, etc. that you will publish to the community. It all results in comprehension and critical thinking. - dfw
