New Teaching Approach
Today the digital divide resides in differential ability to use new media...—in essence, to carry out the kinds of expert thinking and complex communication that are at the heart of the new economy (Warschauer & Matuchniak, 2010).
Studies show sharp disparities by race and SES in how technologies were deployed for education (Becker, 2000; Wenglinsky, 1998).
Teachers are designers and teachers need to work with a clear insight into larger purposes (Wiggins & McTighe, 2005).
Meaning cannot be taught; it must be fashioned by the learner via artful design and effective coaching by the teacher” (Wiggins & McTighe, 2005).
For widespread change to occur, teachers need to incorporate the opportunities of the emerging technological infrastructure into their overall curricular thinking (Darling-Hammond & Bransford, 2005).
Transformation requires clear goals about what digital media in schools can achieve; the appropriate curricula, pedagogy, and assessment to reach these goals; and the right social and technical infrastructure to support the endeavor (Warschauer, 2
Reform cannot happen unless each and every teacher is learning every day (Fullan, 2007).
Rather than viewing leadership practice as a product of a leader's knowledge and skill, the distributed perspective defines it as the interactions between people and their situation” (Spillane, 2005).
The key is not technology itself but...(1)a curriculum focused on deep understanding (2)a pedagogy [that] promotes student-centered learning,(3) classroom assessments that are both performative and formative (Warschauer, 2011).
There needs to be a reculturing and teachers need to design curriculum focused on deep understanding (Fullan, 2007).
Knowledge is information on tap; skills are routine performances on tap; understanding is the ability to think and act flexibly with what one knows (Wiske, 2005).
Education [is not] addressing the needs of the 21st century. It is 20th century, industrial age education supercharged by high-stakes testing and high-tech tools for doing 1920’s types of child-centered education” (Scardamalia, 2001).
From this standpoint the fundamental task of education is to enculturate youth into this knowledge-creating civilization and to help them find a place in it (Scardamelia & Bereiter, 2006).
Sergiovanni (2001) states that leaders must concentrate on people first, build them up, increase their commitment, link them to purposes, and help them to be self-managing.
“Meaning cannot be taught; it must be fashioned by the learner via artful design and effective coaching by the teacher” (Wiggins & McTighe, 2005).
“Teaching should be highly customized” and “teachers are viewed as facilitating student construction of knowledge” (Wenglinsky, 2005).
The preparation and continuing professional development of educators is a major element that is required for school transformation and appropriate use of technology resources (Schrum & Strudler, 2011).
Technology is just a tool. Teaching is the most important educational resource (Cohen, Fuhrman & Mosher, 2007).
New Beliefs
Supporting Change
“Core tasks with authentic challenges embody our educational aims: The goal of schooling is fluent and effective performance in the world, not mere verbal or physical response to narrow prompts” (Wiggins & McTighe, 2005).
"Educational change depends on what teachers do and think-- it's as simple and as complex as that" (Fullan, 2007).
A primary goal of education should be the development and deepening of student understanding (Wiggins & McTighe, 1998)
