GFU Ed Tech Seminar

Emerging Technologies --- and their
potential impact on education
MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Blogging, Texting,

Instant Messaging, Wikis and Mobile Computing have created
a generation of students who no longer seek out technology
simply as a tool to do research, write papers, or even email.
Many of today's students are digital natives whose very culture

is embedded in emerging technologies.
To successfully educate these students for the digital

future, we need to become effective at educating them in
their native culture.

Workshop Agenda
1. Prepare our mindset
o The 4 R's: Relationships -> Relevance -> Rigor -> Results
o Shift Happens -> so Pay Attention :)
2. The new Oregon educational technology requirements

o Technology literacy for all students (it's the law)
3. Web2.0 - emerging tools for you and your students

o Examples and demonstrations (personal and classroom)
4. Demonstrations with:
o Derek, Trevor, Carly, Ryan and Josh
 Collaboration (Docs, Blog, DropBox, Skype, & more)
o Josh (WiiRemote - $100 alternative to $2500 Smartboard)
5. Reflection
I'm no longer able to say I don't know
Sheldon's blog post reflection states: Take my iPhone. When I
bought the thing shortly after its release two years ago,
I simply lost the ability to say "I don't know"
(much to the chagrin of my wife, I can assure you...)
Any information I could possibly want or need is literally
seconds away, and with tools like Google Search or Maps,
and the whole internet in my pocket, I simply cannot offer that
excuse any more!
What it has forced me to do, however, is sharpen

my critical thinking skills, and anything I pull up I
must pre-screen:
Is this valid? Is it accurate? Is it biased?

Critical Thinking:
• What is the purpose of this video?
• What inferences are being made?
• What are the assumptions behind

the inferences?
• How might a technologically literate

person reflect on this compared to
someone who is not tech literate?
• What organization is behind this

ad, and what are their biases?

(Dept. of Labor)

exist three years ago.
• As an educator, you are preparing kids:

• to solve problems that have not been define
• to use tools and technologies that have not yet been
discovered.
What impact might this have on you as a teacher?
