Add Sticky NoteThey barely noticed the technology, the much-vaunted laptop. It was like air to them. But it changed the relationship they had with their teacher. Instead of fidgeting in their chairs while the teacher lectures and scrawls some notes on the blackboard, they were the explorers, the discoverers, and the teacher was their helpful guide.

Add Sticky Note“Many professors who return homework won’t tell you how you got it wrong — just that it’s wrong. This way you can complete the feedback process, which is essential to learning.”
- This goes against everything that I believe about assessment. Is it a time issue? This is where open, transparent learning wins. Students can help each other. - on 2009-05-19

Add Sticky NoteThen I ask everyone who uses a touchtone phone to raise
their hands again. “How many of you with your hands up have
made the decision to use this technology because of a research
article that you read?” This is the technology we use to
communicate with each other every day, and no one can cite an
article on its effectiveness? I have done this at a lot of
meetings, and I still have not found anybody who can give me a
convincing research article or evaluation study that says using
telephones is a good thing to do. And, actually, I can tell you
from my own inquiry into this, having worked with the
telecommunications industry, that there is no research to support
what you are doing. It’s not there. Now that you know that
there is no research to support what you are doing, how many of you
will get rid of your phones?- A great response to the arguement about whether or not technology improves learning. - on 2009-05-15
