Teachers Driving Web 2.0 Use in Schools Says National Research Survey
A national online survey on district use of Web 2.0 and Internet technologies conducted by an independent research firm suggests that teachers are the most important group driving adoption of these technologies in K-12 education. The survey was the first phase of the "Safe Schools in a Web 2.0 World" initiative, an ongoing effort by Lightspeed Systems and Thinkronize, developer of netTrekker, to help schools implement Web 2.0 technologies safely and effectively to address individual learning needs, engage students, and provide 21st century learning opportunities.

Education Week: Schools Seen as Inhibiting Student Tech. Use
Students are using personal technology tools more readily to study subject matter, collaborate with classmates, and complete assigments than they were several years ago, but they are generally asked to “power down” at school and abandon the electronic resources they rely on for learning outside of class, according to a survey of educators, parents, and teenagers.
Teachers, for the most part, are not taking advantage of the tools that middle and high school students have widely adopted for home and school purposes, according to the sixth annual report of the Speak Up National Research Project. Those students should be given a more formal role in determining how new technology—particularly mobile devices, such as smartphones, and Web 2.0 tools, like social-networking sites–can be tapped to improve schooling, a report on the survey findings suggests.

Is Technology Producing A Decline In Critical Thinking And Analysis?
ScienceDaily (Jan. 29, 2009) — As technology has played a bigger role in our lives, our skills in critical thinking and analysis have declined, while our visual skills have improved, according to research by Patricia Greenfield, UCLA distinguished professor of psychology and director of the Children's Digital Media Center, Los Angeles.

How Our Digital Tools Change the Nature of School

Summer 2004
Ruminating on Recent Conversations with leading technology developers, M.I.T. Technology Review editor Robert Buderi came to a stark conclusion: "[D]espite being at the forefront of technology, nobody cites technology as a tool for thinking better." Considering the source, this observation should have been enough to vaporize educational technology initiatives from Maine to Hawaii. Whatever else technology was supposed to do in schools, wasn't it supposed to make students think better?

My technique: LingTECHguistics* « Her Appleness.Com
LingTECHguistics* is the term I coined for my philosophy of teaching: Combining resources already available with Web 2.0 technologies to enable the highest possible exposure to .
LingTECHguistics* theoretical frameworks include Chamot and O’Malley’s Cognitive Academic Learning Approach (CALLA), and Krashen’s Natural Language Hypothesis.
LingTECHguistics* research-based methodologies are based in part, but not entirely, in the increasing use of Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) methods, and in the 21st century skills taxonomy available at http://www.21stcenturyskills.org
