• Engaged Learning - Students help define the
task, the process, and the solution;
collaborations extend beyond the classroom.

• Authenticity - The learning experience is
directly relevant to students and involves
creating a product that has a purpose beyond
the classroom that directly impacts the students.

• Technology - Technology use is directly
connected and needed for task completion and
students determine which application(s) would
best address their needs.

Economically disadvantaged
students, who often use the
computer for remediation

and basic skills, learn to do
what the computer tells
them, while more affluent
students, who use it to learn
programming and tool
applications, learn to tell the
computer what to do.

“Unless we resort to open-source
operating systems, we might be
subjected to the dominance of a
certain system...That is the
reason why we seek Linux,’’ a
KIPA official said.


Affluent students use
computers to learn
programming and tool
applications...they learn to
tell the computer
what to do.


Those who cannot claim computers

as their own tool for exploring the
world never grasp the power of
technology...

They are controlled by technology
as adults--just as drill-and-practice
routines controlled them as
students.

build a network of
connected learners and
creators

If we expect to change

kids' lives, we have to
expect our lives to be
changed as well.

how does technology facilitate HEAT in YOUR
learning and creativity where you are at?

2
construct new digital and
financial realities

How much do you pay for

software per machine?

$75 for MS Office
$65 for Norton Anti-Virus
$40 for Inspiration

for 18,000 machines?
(Answer: $3.2 million)


can your students take
these programs home and
install them?

how about your staff?


Replace 2 of 3 with...

OpenOffice 3.0

Freemind Graphic Organizer

Cost Savings for the Replacement?
$1.1 million

What could you do with $1.1 million in your
district? What could your students and staff do?

how can teachers get out
of the way and enable
children to show their own
stories?

We must provide new outlets for kids
to practice and publish their learning.

They need to showcase their content
knowledge in some way other than a
bubble sheet, a test proctor, and a
newspaper article reporting the
results.

When they publish personally in these
new ways, there is immediate
feedback and reflection and relearning.

This is the driving force behind what
we are doing....
