BUT…We Are Using Tech!

“There is evidence that technology has

not impacted the educational

system…The main problem

is…(introducing) technology without

considering the pedagogical practices that

are associated to produce learning.” (Prof.

Nussbaum)

The Myth of Change

OUR BIG MISTAKE

Copy Paste

Skeuomorphism

Keeping the form of the old

even though it has no function in the new

Skeuomorphism – The Danger

Form of the old can restrict the function of the new!

The Biggest Impacts on Teaching?

Socratic Didactic

Socratic 2.0

Organic

Paradigm

An Organic ParadigmOrganic:

- Biology: "pertaining to or derived from

living organisms”

- Food: "grown in an environment free

from artificial agrichemicals”

- Sociology: "voluntary engagements in

complex interdepencies for mutual

benefit”

- Learning: “an environment built around

- people (living organisms)

interacting in a space that is

- free from "artificial" (to their

experience) restrictions,

- where the types of engagements

are largely voluntary, as opposed to

teleological/determined, and

learning arises from complex

interactions for mutual benefit.”

Conclusion

Using the TASC framework as a thinking

structure you could, for example, re-assess

and re-think your digital pedagogy...

- Identify - What is the task I am trying to

perform - let's say it is developing an

understanding of Dadism in art students.

- Generate - Is there another way I can teach

them this? How could they use create rather

than consume. Maybe make a video, collate

articles together, other?

- Decide - Which is the best idea - Make a

video because...

- Implement - Let's do it.... Set task where

they create a YouTube video using...

Using TASC to Rethink Your Pedagogy

Technology our ruin

• “Students today depend on paper too much. They don’t know how to write on a

slate without getting chalk dust all over themselves. They can’t clean a slate

properly. What will they do when they run out of paper?”– (Principal’s Publication, 1815)

• “Students today depend too much on ink. They don’t know how to use a knife to

sharpen a pencil. Pen and ink will never replace the pencil.”– (Journal of the National Association of Teachers, 1907)

• “Students today depend on store bought ink. They don’t know how to make their

own. When they run out of ink they will be unable to write words or ciphers until

their next trip to the settlement. This is a sad commentary on modern education.”– (Rural American Teacher, 1928)

• “Ballpoint pens will be the ruin of education in our country. Students use these

devices then throw them away. The American values of thrift and frugality are being

discarded. Businesses and banks will never allow such expensive luxuries.”– (Federal Teachers, 1950)

• “Students today depend on cell phones too much”– (School Principal Association, 2011)

• “Students today depend too much on Facebook.

Facebook will never replace the classroom.”– (Journal of Traditional Lecturers, 2010)

• “Students today don’t know how to hand write notes.

This is a sad commentary on modern education.”– (Modern Teacher, 2011)

• “iPads will be the ruin of education in our country.

Schools will never allow such expensive luxuries.” (School

Journal, 2010)

Technology our ruin

The Principle

Erasing the

engraving

“Countless pixels were spilled

during The Great UI Flattening of

2013–2014…Flat design…didn’t

just kill skeuomorphism…it danced

on its grave and then erased every

last trace of beveling, shadow, and

granite texture from the

headstone.”

You can NEVER erase the Teacher
