As you all know Robyn Trevyaud is at ISHCMC next week informing our community about the challenges of Digital Citizenship and Literacy and helping us start to create a Digital literacy and Citizenship Policy.
Hence this week's food for thought is simply to request that you go to the site of the International Society for Technology in Education, http://www.iste.org/ and browse for 30 minutes through the information provide. There is lots of information that you can think about and use in your classrooms.
Linking directly with what Robyn will be helping us start are the ISTE Standards http://www.iste.org/standards
"Why are standards important?
Technology has forever changed not only what we need to learn, but the way we learn.
The ISTE Standards set the bar for excellence and best practices in learning, teaching and leading with technology in education. The benefits of using the ISTE Standards include:
- Improving higher-order thinking skills, such as problem solving, critical thinking and creativity
- Preparing students for their future in a competitive global job market
- Designing student-centered, project-based and online learning environments
- Guiding systemic change in our schools to create digital places of learning
- Inspiring digital age professional models for working, collaborating and decision making
Have a good Sunday,
Yours
Adrian
