Taking your technology for granted? Think about a comparison between the
students in IISD and other districts where technology is less available.
The following was published at
http://www.raeniles.com/page10/page10.html . I will access up-to-date information - you have a textbook that is 5 years old. I will immediately know when I misspell a word – you have to wait until it’s graded. I will learn how to care for technology by using it – you will read about it. I will see math problems in 3D – you will do the odd problems. I will create artwork and poetry and share it with the world – you will share yours with the class. I will have 24/7 access – you have the entire class period. I will access the most dynamic information – yours will be printed and photocopied. I will communicate with leaders and experts using email – you will wait for Friday’s speaker. I will select my learning style – you will use the teacher’s favorite learning style. I will collaborate with my peers from around the world – you will collaborate with peers in your classroom. I will take my learning as far as I want – you must wait for the rest of the class. |
