· No Network manager should have the power to tell teachers what they can and cannot access from the Internet! · Real work is not teaching teachers technology, but teaching teachers how children respond to technology. · The next time you do a PD on technology, have students in the room, or the PD is not real world. · I can show you how to use technology in 1 hr, but to teach you to give up control may take a career. · School's current mission is to transfer knowledge, now it must become to shift control -teachers to students. · The tools are free, so how do we get teachers to adopt it. · Students keep making the same mistake on tests as homework because the brain records the mistake without instant feedback · We should teach 3 skills: find information needed, collaborate globally, teach students to be self directed. · Schools will not change until the pressure from the outside to change is greater than pressure inside to stay the same. · Don't teach students specific skills, teach them to use tools and how to problem solve. · The world is fundamentally going to change, and schools don't keep up. · The first thing I would do is teach students to create content to help other students learn better. · Research shows a student's voice has more impact on students in MS than a teacher's voice. Have them teach! · If you are a history teacher, you live for the why questions. · Use site:uk (or other country code) to get sites from countries you are studying or books you are reading. · If we don't teach American kids empathy, they won't get the jobs we need them to get. · With archive.org, if it was ever on the Internet, it is always on the Internet. WOW! So much of this is so easy to do and understand, yet it is so hard for educators (as it is with the rest of the population) to break the habits of the past and to be visionary in thinking and teaching. Yet that is what each of us in Lutheran education is called to do. We are called to do the VERY BEST we can for all of our students. Simply using the same instructional models and management principles year after year is not enough. We MUST engage students in new ways with the technological gifts with which we have been blessed to best prepare students for THEIR future. When I go back to the classroom on Monday morning, I will re-commit myself to the hard work of making these things happen. The future of our children and our schools depends upon it.

Thanks for sharing your key take-aways from Alan's presentation. I love the quotes and will take some time to digest them in the context of my school. Thanks for helping me to learn more, especially when I can't always be there! Peace!

Great List Dave! I agree with everything that was mention, but do not fully see eye to eye with one of them. "Real work is not teaching teachers technology, but teaching teachers how children respond to technology." I know what Alan is saying, but he never was at my school. Before I can even get teachers to consider looking at technology and students, I need to get them not afraid. Since they don't want to change because they are scared, I need to teach them the technology. In many of my teachers sake, I am starting from scratch, but I am getter there. Had a teacher who has been set in their way ~ Lecture Style tried something new for once. They had students come and ask all the other students about their favorite lunch menu. So they can take it back to class and graph it. I wish I could have sit in the class to see how it went and were the teacher took it from there. I know that had nothing to do with Technology, but the thought of opening up to new techniques and getting students involved and engaged. Until A) my staff trusts me 100% (don't think they do yet) or B my staff will give up control of the classroom (not to be confused of giving up management of the classroom) I need to teach them the technology and show them the benefits that could be. Step two will be talking about how students can interact and react with the use of technology.

Good points Dan! That is the value of conversations like these. These suggestions cannot be seen as "one size fits all", but they are important for us all to consider. Culture change in education, but neither is being a Christian. Our charge is to be faithful. Fortunately, the results are left to the realm of God.
