Helene Blowers has identified the new Digital Divide (Reality Check 2.010), as one between those with the skills to find and use information and those without. Among some of the skills she highlights are:
•Knowing how to “think” about search•Knowing how to validate soft information•Knowing how to get information to travel to you instead of chasing it•Knowing where to find information in new “hot” channel

What I’d Buy Instead of an Interactive Whiteboard by Bill Ferriter, The Tempered Radical
• Give me $5,000-$6,000 to spend on a middle school classroom with 25 students and I’ll buy:
– 5 Netbook Computers Cost: $1,250
• Give me one netbook for every 5 kids in my classroom and I can create instant workstations for groups.
– 5 YEARS of VoiceThread for my Students Cost: $300
• With little digital skill, kids of all ages can interact in Socratic style conversations on school related topics with one another both in and out of school.
– 5 YEARS of Brainpop Access for my Classroom Cost: $731
• Brainpop is a service that creates short (3-5 minute) animated videos on topics across the curriculum.
– 5 YEARS of Access to Poll Everywhere Cost: $645
• What makes Poll Everywhere—an online application that allows teachers to create and deliver quick surveys—unique is that students can respond to surveys via text message from their cell phones, making the need for student responders obsolete in most middle school classrooms considering the number of students carrying cell phones to school each day.
– A Mid-Range Data Projector Cost: $595
– Total = $3,521– Camtasia Screencasting Software Cost: $179

Students need to be more involved in their own learning
Whose world are we preparing students for ?
What kind of work will they do ?
What skills will they need ?
Why a Digital Conversion?

• Real World Experience
• Instructional Practice
• Improving Academic Achievement
New Views of Learning

NIU professor brings video games to class
• "Students would always be sort of on the edge of their seat watching this thing because it's just so cool to see how it works," Coller said of the video. "But that sentiment just ended as soon as you turned off the video, and then they're back to their boring old homework again."
• "Right away, they just really warmed up to it," Coller said. "They were incredibly jazzed about it. So right away, I just saw the learning levels were just so much higher and excitement levels were just so much higher than anything I had done before."

Virtual Textbooks

At Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, a select group of freshmen received Kindles, an online book reader, instead of the textbooks.
Reading on the Kindle will get students to read
books independently, but it is also all-inclusive and boosts their reading and critical thinking skills
regardless of reading level, said Deanna Isley.

Add Twitter To Your Communication
201
Follow me on Twitter at rvoltz and IllinoisASA
http://twitter4teachers.pbworks.com/
Teachers use Twitter
• To communicate with students and parents on homework and class activities
• To link up with other teachers in a type of professional learning community
Start discussing:“ What is the future
computer for classroom use?”
Encourage teachers to engage students in their own learning
“We should instead use technology funding to bolster new learning models and innovations, such as online-learning environments, to level the playing field and allow students from all walks of life -- from small, rural communities to budget-strapped urban schools -- to access the rich variety that is now available only to children in wealthy suburban districts.”
