I want en educated citizenry that is kind, compassionate, curious, creative, adaptable, moral, critical, reflective, able to solve problems, inventive, knowledgeable, and as Mike Wesch coined so well, "knowledge-able" (http://www.academiccommons.org/commons/essay/knowledgable-knowledge-able).<br /><br />Every generation has a revolution of one type or another. I think what is most pressing is that teachers/education leaders keep operating in the present and not the past, facilitating relevant and meaningful learning opportunities for their students.Steve Ransomhttp://ransomtech.edublogs.org/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7029419017923677229.post-8544987531581966852009-12-01T08:41:24.202-05:002009-12-01T08:41:24.202-05:00I agree with all of this - technology is a tool.

I used computers in school - TRS-80's and Apple IIe's. I used 286 processor based computers in college. Technology changes. What I learned and what are students need to learn does not change.<br /><br />They need be able to think critically, research and analyze their sources, communicate, and self-learn. That is what we need to prepare them for. <br /><br />While doing that, we need to teach them how to use the tools that are available now. While technology advances quickly, companies and schools don't necessarily adapt the new technology right away. That means that students who use certain things in school will be prepared for college and jobs. They will have learned to use different tools, and if we have taught them to solve problems and be self-learners, they can apply that to future technologies and tools.<br /><br />http://educationaltechnologyguy.blogspot.com/search/label/21st%20century%20skillsDavid Andradehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14809267838191379368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7029419017923677229.post-33902893390564760952009-12-01T01:02:08.421-05:002009-12-01T01:02:08.421-05:00I'm preparing them to do research independentl...I'm preparing them to do research independently. Thanks, Shelly, for the reading list, a while back. I wound up cutting back on it a bit, and boosting the art history content... They've got 60 images to learn this winter term, everything from the Mask of Agamemnon to the Winged Victory of Samothrace, a Minoan snake goddess to Sophie Schliemann arrayed in the treasure of Priam, and everythign imaginable in between.<br /><br />I've told them that these 60 images WILL be on the final exam. And while I've provided a few hints, they are still going to have to use Google Search and other tools to locate the images/objects online, discover when they were made, and where, where they are now, what they're made of, and how, and for what purposes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7029419017923677229.post-34864596250698921022009-11-30T23:16:25.242-05:002009-11-30T23:16:25.242-05:00I think I forgot to mention that because of guys l...I think I forgot to mention that because of guys like you and simple questions like the one you asked I have hope for my grandchildren in your hands!

After all, our students may very well suffer from peak oil and population overshoot tissues that completely turn all of our forecasts upside down.<br /><br />Let's teach our students how to be critical thinkers. The rest will take care of itself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
