In Successful Edtech, Pedagogy Comes First--Devices Second

Given the enormous potential of edtech to assist teachers in highly diverse classrooms to truly personalize learning and obtain significant student academic growth, why are we seeing such consistent and large-scale edtech failure when it comes to gains in student academic achievement?

Exploring the Most Effective Uses of Modern EdTech Practices via GDC

Exploring the Most Effective Uses of Modern EdTech Practices via GDC | iGeneration - 21st Century Education (Pedagogy & Digital Innovation) | Scoop.it
Here are some great ways that you can perform your best edtech practices, along with some tips and resources to guide you in your quest.
Kim Toll's curator insight, May 14, 2017 8:17 PM
It seems incomprehensible to not use some kind of technology to enhance learning as there is an abundance of quality apps and tools online to use. Teachers want to use inexpensive, user-friendly tools that improve student learning. We, as teachers need to use this tech as our assistant – one that is present in the classroom with us, but not overwhelmingly. We should never use tech that does not serve our purpose. It’s not about technology replacing any of our current practices—it’s about the use of those tools to aid in the successful delivery of education.

One of the Modern EdTech resources mentioned in this article is Minecraft. Minecraft is a collaborative game, and students actively work in competitive ways, but they can also work together to solve problems and challenges.  This could easily be used to transmute learning to the Modification and Redefinition levels of the SAMR model. Teachers can use this as an opportunity to build digital citizenship skills. As students play, teachers should observe and give feedback with checklists and rubrics. Teachers can also facilitate discussions and reflections to support each student in effectively communicating and collaborating.
