A quick run down of some "already here" trends in classroom integration of technology. (note: videos will not play in Slideshare)

1. What’s New in
Education
Right Now?
Jon Corippo
Minarets High School

2. First of all: It’s a new world
The Net is us/using us

3. BUT, school keeps looking like this:
Archive.org

4. So:
Writing on a board still
doesn’t work in a
total learning situation
What does?

5. According to Marc Prensky's Article:
(Do They Learn Differently? Neuorscience says YES!)
quot;Children raised with the computer ―think differently
from the rest of us. They develop hypertext
minds. They leap around. It’s as though their cognitive
structures were parallel, not sequential.

6. ―Linear thought processes that dominate educational
systems now can actually retard learning
for brains developed through game and Web-surfing
processes on the computer.
Some have surmised that teenagers use different
parts of their brain and think in different ways
than adults when at the computer.
We now know that it goes even further—their
brains are almost certainly physiologically different.

7. But these differences, most observers
agree, are less a matter of kind than a
difference of degree.
For example as a result of repeated
experiences, particular brain areas are
larger and more highly developed,
and others are less so.quot;

The only result
can be GROWTH

28. Metaphor in Dodgeball
It’s a metaphor, but it really happened

29. If there is a “vast wasteland”
today, it is not in Beavis and
Butt-head’s backyard (or
even Barney’s front yard) but
in the 1960s mindset that
television, movies, and
popular culture are, at best,
problematic; (continued)

30. ...that technology is just a “pipe”
through which content flows to
passive receivers; and that
the role of society is to monitor
and control the flow—and thus
control the “problem.”
Elizabeth Thoman,
Federal Communications Law
Journal May 2003
