It’s 2011…… children are using technology. Should we?

Schools in the 21st Century.

Three Phases of Educational Technology

Phase One: Teachers use technology to deliver dynamic lessons. (Dynamic presentations-using interactive white boards, video, etc.)

Phase Two: Students use technology to access content knowledge. (Textbooks replaced with electronic media, web searches,

webquests, wikispaces, etc.)

Phase Three: Using 21st Century Skills: Communication, Collaboration and Creation

Student work brought to a wider audience. Student as producer, publisher, audience and peer reviewer.

(Movies, podcasts, blogs, digital storytelling)
