Technology integration or specialist ICT lessons? | COETAIL Bangkok
- We need to adapt our methods of teaching in order to ensure our students remain highly motivated and engaged in school life
- he challenges and competitive nature of the 21st century workplace will require our students to be flexible, digitally literate and highly capable
- the delivery of weekly, specialist ICT lessons taught by an ICT teacher,

- the fact that it is not integrated with other subjects is a very significant point.

- how different this current generation is in comparison to many of their teachers.
- generation of unmotivated, disengaged students who question the purpose and techniques of what they are doing in the classroom
- Most teachers are digital migrants. Many have spent a good period of their careers getting by, and often doing very well, without the use of technology in the classroom
- Without training, guidance and support, we will invariably stick to what has worked before, and continue to fail to meet the needs of this and the next generation.
- Teachers are as important as ever, as outlined in the excellent book “Why do I need a teacher when I have got Google?”
- technology integration in schools
- Accountability will ensure that they provide funding and opportunities for staff training and support, if they are to be held accountable by external educational bodies such as Ofsted in the UK

MediaShift . Howard Rheingold: Knowing How to Collaborate Is Essential | PBS
- Attention is the fundamental instrument we use for learning, thinking, communicating, deciding, yet neither parents nor schools spend any time helping young people learn how to manage information streams and control the ways they deploy their attention.
-
Another important theme is crap detection -- fact checking, scrutiny of discourses.
- people formerly known as the audience" are now participating very actively.
-
People participate in building the value of the every day by reading, tagging, liking, favoriting, plussing, commenting, linking, posting, refactoring (editing wiki pages), arguing in comment threads and discussion forums.
- Knowing how to participate is just the first step. Knowing how to collaborate has become essential to individuals who want to succeed in the 21st century and to the health of the culture that is emerging
- every pocket is a potential printing press, broadcasting station, marketplace, community forum, political organizing force.
