things-that-will-be-obsolete-in-2020
1. Desks (21st century does not fit in rows, neither to students)
2. Language labs (on your smartphone!)
3. Computers (what form is this device?)
4. Homework (24/7 environment, learn more, not more school)
5. Differentiated instruction (customizable content, personalized)
6. Wikipedia (Get over it– it is the primary reference tool)
7. Paperbacks (Digital Learning Content)
8. IT Departments (cloud computing, security, analytics)
9. Organization by Grade (individualized, peer interest groups)
10. Outsource PD (leverage internal experts, self-directed)
7. A. Laptop (Device) Program
What are the pros and cons of a laptop (tablet) program?
What is preferred model of the laptop program?
What are the classroom changes that occur with digital tools?
What change do you have to make in your school?
Realizing the Benefits of Learning (Devices)
8. Needs Assessment Analysis
Goals and Objectives
Financial Planning
Device Procurement and Deployment
End User Support
Curricular Integration
Marketing and communication
Faculty Development
Infrastructure Development
11. Models of Implementation
1:1 laptop / tablet programs or BYOD programs
Standardized school program vs BYOD
Lease vs buy
Proprietary software vs Open source
Warranty vs no warranty
Helpdesk Support
Insurance claims
Machine type: Mac vs PC vs iPad
Single type vs mixed environments
12. D. Classroom Management
Strategies
Why is this important in a computer classroom?
Level of distraction….
How often are you finding yourself distracted when you use your laptop?
In class At home
Never Rarely Once in a while Some of the time All of the time
13. Classroom Management Strategies
Why is this important in a device-enabled classroom?
Level of distraction..
Level of focus..
Level of controls..
How do we make it a positive experience
Not controls
Not by limiting access
Not by restricting usability functions
Engage them in real-world tasks
Keep research to minimum and focused, timed
Show results via screen capture or shared leads
Teacher vs Technology
14. “Gap Analysis”
Institution – administrator – teacher – student
“Where are we now”?
Texting Chat - collaborate
Communication Comfort with technology
Curriculum Use of media
Searching for content online Posting online
Reading digital text Making a home video
Connecting with friends Learning Online
Comfortable UnComfortable
15. B. Shift in Learning Paradigms
Ubiquitous access (always connected, access resources)
Flipped classroom (Learn at home-work at school)
etextbooks (Flexbooks) (digital learning content)
OER materials, OCW course materials (open resources)
Search and research (develop skills to filter, validate, literacies)
Creativity (more media, the facetime generation
Organization (curation skills, fragments of learning content)
Communication (IM is not good enough)
Blended Learning (f2f with online)
16. Visible Learning
Learning is centered around the interests of the learner
This learning is immersive – learning by doing
The device connects the learner to the rest of the world
Learning is where the learner is…in the classroom ?
Key is learning content, not classroom or tools
21. Acceptable Use Policy
(in the modern era)
AUP must be adapted to include, Web 2.0
LCC IT Policy
Social and Network policy
22. Restrict = Protect ?
There is a wide range of restrictiveness with regard to Internet
access in schools
Blocking and filtering harmful sites is one way (Students can
bypass)
Another way is to teacher children to be responsible, while also
blocking and filtering some sites.
It‟s about choice –teach responsibility
Federal, State (Provincial), School Policy and Laws – tend to
prohibit or inhibit
School with less restrictive environments distinguish behavior
between age groupings of students
23. Safety/Access
Web 2.0 applications, use of mobile phones, social networking
sites access, Facebook, Google +
SOPA, PIPA , COPPA… other privacy acts
How do we adjust our thinking, revise our polices in the
knowledge age, where we are always connected.
How do we promote use of technologies and still provide safe
and secure environment.. Where is the balance?
24. Digital Footprints
Digital Literacy – real vs online world
Privacy Laws –sharing passwords, details online
Copyright vs Creative Commons (OER)
Intellectual Property (DRM)
SOPA and PIPA
Plagiarism detection
IM/Chat sites
SPAM and bots
25. Towards Responsible Use

28. 2.
What are some approaches to develop an AUP?
Individual or IT based – working independently
Easier, more efficient, faster and more inclusive
Better ownership by the students
Committee of stakeholders or community input
Acceptable use policies vs responsible use policies
Does policy include social networking, mobiles (personal devices?)
Does it follow CIPA?
Do you educate students on appropriate online behavior?
29. 3.
How does provincial/school board regulations affect Internet
policies pertaining to filtering, AUP‟s, cyberbullying and mobile
use?
Schools and school board have enacted rules for bullying, hazing
and harassment in real and virtual spaces.
How has social networking (FB, twitter) impacted the current
policies?
How has BYOD impacted current policy?
30. 4.

Students)?
Updating school policy for mobiles and social networking.
Are you relaxing policies or making them closed? Are you updating
the policy annually?
Do you have faculty/students sign the form annually.
Does policy cover school owned and personal devices?
Specific use of Web 2.0 tools, blogs, wikis, published material on
the web.
Is less restrictive necessarily better? Or worse?
