by Michael Boykin What was different was that the message about technology purported by this crowd [at Miami Device] was this: “Technology is important and should be integrated in education, but it must serve to meaningfully enrich the learning experience for students.” Via Felix Jacomino, michel verstrepen

It’s pretty safe to say that it’s been a strong beginning to 2014 here at Scoop.it. We’ve been working, hypothesizing, testing, listening, and implementing pretty much since the clock struck midnight on January 1st. That said, I wanted to check in with you today to give you some insight into what’s going on over here - including some pretty big and exciting new announcements!

There is no better curation tool than #Scoopit (www.scoop.it) in the world, and today they proved it again. As one of their top curators, the Scoopit Team rewarded me with a free, lifetime pro subscription. At $12.99 per month, that is an extremely generous offer, and I couldn't be more grateful. There is no better tool for #education curration, and the people who run it are truly class acts...

I've found that this isn't as easy to set as an objective for learning as it should be... not because of students or teachers, but because administrators are reluctant to "authorize" these kinds of projects without some kind of assurance it won't lead to demands for change in their buildings, and parents are scared their children will be exposed to all the bad things on the Internet. This was especially true in my school in a high-rent district (after all, aren't rich kids more valuable?)
Don't forget to get buy-in from these essential partners BEFORE you start a project that may lead to a learning revolution Not just in your classroom but everywhere! Load your boat before you set sail!

Important message for teachers who might not be in this place yet. "Technology is a tool, not a learning outcome."

My thoughts: I agree that teachers need to use technology more in class. But the teachers need to be trained in the use of the technology so they can teacher the class and how to use the technology. Because most teachers these days can’t use the computers and the other technology they have and that’s because they haven’t been trained or taught in how to use the technology. Also having technology and things that are more fun for the students will help them learn and make them want to come to school each day to learn. Right now school and classes are boring so having something different would help a bunch and it would make us want to learn and want to come to school. Also I think that if each kid was given a laptop for their entire school career that would help kids learn and it would also help them get their homework done and projects done on time. Some kids once they leave school they don’t have access to a computer so they can’t do their homework at home. But if they had a laptop they could start the homework and school and then when they get home they already have the worked start and they can work at it at home. Also sometimes if you start a project at school you can’t always get it home but if you had a laptop you could have it at home and be able to work on it and get it done for class the next day.

"Help students show what they know with media and technology"
Technology: I chose this resource because it links technology and student progress. I think that its important to make sure that the things that are being implemented into the classroom are helping students advance and become college and career ready.
