  • Why I Ban Laptops in My Classroom | Britannica Blog

    • Note-taking on a laptop encourages verbatim transcription. The note-taker tends
      to go into stenographic mode and no longer processes information in a way that
      is conducive to the give-and-take of classroom discussion. Because taking notes
      the old-fashioned way, by hand is so much slower, the student actually has to
      listen, think and prioritize the most important themes. Of course, if one’s idea
      of a lecture is a process by which the notes of the teacher get transferred to
      the notes of the student without passing through the brain of either, then
      laptops may be the perfect transcribing tools.  But if the goal is an
      interactive classroom, I find that laptops just get in the way.
    • Laptops also create a temptation to the many other things one can do there —
      surf the Web, check e-mail, shop for shoes, play solitaire, or instant-message
      friends. That’s not only distracting to the student who is checking
      baseball scores and statistics but for all those who see him and

      in the institutions they attend thanks to new digital technologies

  • A Vision of Students Today (& What Teachers Must Do) | Britannica Blog

    • Such an achievement could not be won by an eager teacher armed with technology
      alone. It has taken years of acclimatizing our youth to stale artificial
      environments, piles of propaganda convincing them that what goes on inside these
      environments is of immense importance, and a steady hand of discipline should
      they ever start to question it.
    • My teaching assistants consoled me by noting that students have learned that
      they can “get by” without paying attention in their classes. Perhaps feeling a
      bit encouraged by my look of incredulity, my TA’s continued with a long list of
      other activities students have learned that they can “get by” without doing.
      Studying, taking notes, reading the textbook, and coming to class topped the
      list

      • the impact of
        ICT on education and training has not yet been as great as had been expected
        despite wide political and social endorsement. In particular, the transformation
        of business and public services through ICT has not yet reached teaching and
        learning processes;



      • embedding ICT
        in education and training systems require further changes across the
        technological, organisational, teaching and learning environments of classrooms,
        workplaces, and informal learning settings;



      • although ICT
        has the potential to develop a “learning continuum” that would support lifelong
        learning and embrace formal, informal and workplace learning, this has not yet
        been realised.

  • edflin - Hooper, Rieber TEACHING WITH TECHNOLOGY

    • Educational technology is often considered, erroneously, as synonymous with
      instructional innovation
    • Technology, by definition, applies current knowledge for some useful purpose.
      Therefore, technology uses evolving knowledge (whether about a kitchen or a
      classroom) to adapt and improve the system to which the knowledge applies (such
      as a kitchen's microwave oven or educational computing). In contrast,
      innovations represent only change for change sake. Given this distinction, it is
      easy to argue that educators are correct to resist mere innovation, but they
      should welcome educational technology. Unfortunately, the history of educational
      technology does not support this hypothesis (Saettler, 1990
