"School. . .wasn't much back then, either. The teachers didn't care.
No personal warmth or contact. No encouragement," his bitter smile
striking, a result of his longing for education, "meant most of us
[brothers, sisters] ended up in manual labor jobs."

"I joined the military early at 18, and I've come out alright. . . ." and
looking over at me, he said again with the force of experience,
"Education is the one thing they can't take away from you! So study
hard!, because if you don't, you'll miss the boat!"

“As a thirteen year old, I had a profound fear of computers. I'd attended Camp
Chip-A-Bit at Trinity University, and aside from enjoying playing Outpost on an
Apple //+, I hated programming.”

When my father expressed his decision to buy me a computer, my mom
promptly challenged him, "He's terrible in math. He's not going to grow up to
be a programmer."

How have you allowed technology to change who you are
and what you do?

to what degree do mobile devices enable us to be more
human than schools have allowed us to be in the past?

A recent survey of 25 technology directors in U.S. school districts
revealed that every single one was testing or using the iPad in schools.
Within five years, they expect to have more tablets per student than
computers – a total of one iPad per six students, compared to the
current 10 students per computer.

In schools, tablet has become synonymous with iPad.

Top 5 Technologies Changing the Education Ecosystem
(Bill Rust, Gartner Group, TCEA2012 Presentation to System Administrators) http://goo.gl/b75T0

1. Personally-owned devices - BYOT/BYOD
2. Change in primary device form factor
3. Multiple devices - Device and OS agnostic
solutions.

4. Customer intimacy on par with operational
efficiency...Infrastructure folks will have to
work harder to support these new
technologies.

5. Opportunities to change and refine the
organization and delivery of instruction.

what does the term

“post-digital school”
(ubiquitous access to technology changing your life and work)

mean in the context of conversations you are
having in your school or district?

#txtia1

what does the term
“post-digital school mean for you?"

post-digital school?
It marks the transition from
the era where we’re excited
by the shiny new digital toys
that we have, and start to
become excited by the
changes that these shiny
not-so-new toys are making
in the way we live, in the
objects we have around us.

“I see great potential for
tablets to function as
teaching tools for both
medical education and with
patients.

The capability to show patients their
results, radiology studies and teaching
aides is invaluable in the patient-
centered medical home models.

Integration of tablets with other devices
(stethoscopes, imaging) and the http://goo.gl/xspq8
capability to carry a multitude of
textbooks and instant journal access
should accelerate the revolution in
medical education already occurring.”


To allow or not to allow personal smartphones and other mobile
computing devices into the healthcare setting? That's one thought
becoming less of a question and more a reality check as bring-your-own-
device (BYOD) initiatives become imperative for CMIOs and IT departments.

It's no longer an option, Jason W. Zeller, director of information security and
risk management at Kaiser Permanente Source: http://goo.gl/ZtVnf

...you can't afford a 1:1 on top of
everything you already do, but we are
starting to learn that there are a lot of
things you can stop doing when you
become a post-digital school.

Content curation is the process of sorting through the vast amounts of content
on the web and presenting it in a meaningful and organized way around a
specific theme.

The work involves sifting, sorting, arranging, and publishing information. A
content curator cherry picks the best content that is important and relevant to
share with their community.

2) Blog your learning conversations.

Silence = Invisibility...don’t be invisible!

Not this...I hope.


when the world is changing at light-speed, only your
commitment to sharing what you're learning
endures...don’t be afraid to dwell in possibility.

edgy communications = vulnerable,
authentic, transparent, human.
