2. Digital Divide or Digital Difference? The Top Five Take
Outs1. In closing the Digital Divide, we should be
encouragingDigital Difference, rather than generic solutions,
whenchoosing technology, software and apps purchases.2. Digital
difference is about matching teaching and learning tothe
technology, not the other way around!3. Pedagogy should drive
software, app, & Web 2.0 toolselection.Sunday, 5 May 13
3. Digital Divide or Digital Difference? The Top Five Take
Outs4.When choosing software and apps, less is more. Choose afew
great open ended ones and explicitly teach their use toteachers and
students. Allow for their authentic use bystudents.5. Often the
implementation of iPad programs in schools tsthis model better,
than netbook / notebook programs inschools do.Sunday, 5 May 13

5. Matching Pedagogy with software / apps / web 2.0 Think about
the pedagogical model that you use. How do you make this model
understandable to otherteachers and students? Is there a graphic to
describe the model? Can you describe this model, listing all the
actions that relateto the teaching and learning that occurs under
it? What software, apps, & Web 2.0 tools will best be used
byteachers and students to meet those actions? Dont pick too many!
Explicitly teach students how to use those software, apps, &Web
2.0 tools that you have selected.Sunday, 5 May 13
6. Whats an example of this? Lets say that Blooms Digital
Taxonomy underlinesyour lesson planning... What does this look
like? What teaching andlearning actionsrelate to each
thinkingskill? What are the bestsoftware, apps, web 2.0tools for
each action?HigherOrderThinkingLowerOrderThinkingSunday, 5 May

10. Teaching software / apps / web 2.0 tools explicitly. Play
with them, learn them, teach them. If you dont have time for that,
look on the web forresources to help you. A good place to start is
theDEECD Digital Learning Showcase as this does linkpedagogy to
software tutorials and other resources. Search the web for
tutorials.You Tube is useful.Sunday, 5 May 13
11. Teaching software / apps / web 2.0 tools explicitly. Dont
teach the skill students need out of context,there is little
purpose in doing it this way! Instead teach them, when the students
need them,i.e. when they are completing authentic tasks!
