The White Board

I feel your pain, Jeremy :) It would help, though, to experiment with one or two items by "piloting" the technology before actual implementation. Most administrators are open to this idea...

Using Technology to Develop New Skills

Have you thought about expanding the idea of video capture to develop digital portfolios for culinary students of their work? They could capture, edit and narrate their own demonstrations both for class work and for Internet distriubtion beyond the classroom. This would enhance both the immediacy and the authorship of student work.

Internet Changes

Good points, Jeff. What is it about the technology, do you think, that really changes both the design and the delivery of education? Why has the Internet affected such changes in teaching and learning?

Thank you, Donald, for your description of the uses of the interactive white board with students. Have you found the capture and distribution capabilities beneficial?

Carla, can you develop this statement further? From your experience, how have you found the tablet technology helpful for students?

Good points, Dave, and also what we choose to do with what we've learned.

The Nomadic Learner

Great, Jackie. I would suggest that the learner autonomy you mention is the most important ongoing skill we can develop in students. The more students learn how to learn for themselves, the more long term learning will be for them.

I'm not sure what you're referring to here, Allen. Are you addressing the students or teachers or both? Please expand your response...

Using Technology to Develop New Skills

How can this challenged be addressed by teachers, Allen? How can teachers focus on more general outcomes as well as the specific course outlines and still protect the rigor of the course?
