This is where I have seen it transform teaching. It has increased engagement in classrooms, not the tech but the ideas and strategies that are shared and then put into place.]]> 2016-10-19 19:52:59 UTC https://padlet.com/wbrennan2/fvpmxu09g7db/wish/131916463 Sam https://padlet.com/wbrennan2/fvpmxu09g7db/wish/131916590
"...we need to become better at communicating the need and building support for change."]]> 2016-10-19 19:53:45 UTC https://padlet.com/wbrennan2/fvpmxu09g7db/wish/131916590 Jennifer jdehayes https://padlet.com/wbrennan2/fvpmxu09g7db/wish/131916607 The article mentions that technology doesn't replace good teaching. A take away for me was...we as administrators need to ensure that our children of today know how to navigate the world around them... it is no longer a need to be the "smartest or the brightest"... Google is that for us... We need to supply our children with the capability to use technology in the world around them...to better the world around them... ]]> 2016-10-19 19:53:51 UTC https://padlet.com/wbrennan2/fvpmxu09g7db/wish/131916607 Trish poregan1 https://padlet.com/wbrennan2/fvpmxu09g7db/wish/131916633 "All  that demands new and innovative approaches to education where technology can no longer be on the margins of education but needs to be central to any solution."

"Now, it’s about helping students develop a reliable compass and the navigation skills to find their own way through an increasingly uncertain, volatile and ambiguous world. "

IF this were true, we should be able to find many artifacts of assessments and activities for which this is the desired goal.  I am sure that they exist in our system...but I wonder if they are the exception.
