Over the summer teachers were going to go to some professional development in their content area. The district had looked over where the majority of teachers were weak and were going to provide them some learning in those areas. Often we talk about the need for more personalized learning for students.

distance learning comes into play. But, vetted virtual programs can match the depth and impact of in-school learning experiences. And can turn students off from learning that they see as less than engaging and even stagnant, especially without the opportunity to move around. WATCH THE EDWEBINAR RECORDING.

Technology has been a key component in the planting, fertilization, growth and eventually, the blossoming of new statewide initiatives including distance education and new professional learning opportunities for educators that have benefitted students in a variety of ways. I’ve got some experience with this from the past eight years.

Is it about creating new and better opportunities for learning in our schools for our learners and ourselves, or is it about doing cool things? For example, is using a “scantron” to mark multiple choice exams innovative? It is convenient, but does this lead to better learning in the classroom? Look at EdCamp.

For example, is using a “scantron” to mark multiple choice exams innovative? It is definitely convenient, but does this lead to better learning in the classroom? My answer is that it could actually lead to worse learning, faster. Look at EdCamp. It is the same for personal as it is for professional.

They asked me what changed, I simply replied “I started learning again.” At 40 years old I was worried… do 40 year olds learn new technology? I didn’t think I had the courage to step outside my comfort zone to learn the technology that would cause me to not only learn, but teach to the students.

Because digital devices and online environments can simultaneously be transformatively empowering and maddeningly disruptive, the work of integrating digital learning tools into schools is usually difficult and complex. As a result, faculty instruction and the learning experiences of students change little or not at all.

Powerful Learning First, Technology Second. Although the words “innovation” and “technology” are not synonymous, we do have to understand that technology can be transformational in our learning. Questions to Consider: How do you model and explore new opportunities for learning in your own practice?

Think of it this way — Some students learn by seeing. Others learn by hearing. Others learn by doing. But no one learns one way. So, when you have many ways of teaching material, nearly every student learns better. If project based learning works – do it. So, if differentiation works – do it.

When you finish reading (or now), have a look at Hurley’s non-profit nextvista.org and get your students involved in creating high-quality learning resources that can be used by others. I imagine any educator would agree that building positive (yet professional) relationships with students is critical to student success. You decide.

Technologists like Campbell, like me, see increased access as an opportunity to strengthen teaching and accelerate learning that schools may not recognize, much less seize. Our experiences with equity in education are too fleeting and too scarce for us to marshall large-scale, long-standing examples. We settled on #techquity.
