The Power of ICT in Education

If we believe JUST:

Adding ICTs to classrooms will improve student performance

Putting lectures online will engage students

Having students search for information online is fun;

Then we may be in for a surprise…

Notas de la presentación

As a company we believe strongly in the power of ICT in Education to support lifelong learning. However, we are also clear that improving student performance, lifting student engagement and developing a deeper competency set in learners is not JUST about adding an element of ICT. And as a company we are becoming more serious around how we can work in partnership with the education community to not only develop better and more relevant products, but also to become more engaged in the necessary research, change management and human capacity building, to name some of the vital elements, that are critical for success.

An excellent education is a basic right and a social imperative

Technology can accelerate insight and impact

Effective, immersive learning experiences inspire improved outcomes

Communities of committed, collaborative participants are essential to advancing education

So there is much to be said for understanding what motivates and engages students, what they think about ICTs and how they can help with learning. This focus on the personalizing of learning will offer improved results and drive better outcomes for students. So at Microsoft we’re really interested in what drives student tapping the power of ICTs for their own learning.

So our work at Microsoft looks at putting the student at the center and focusing on both their Digital Lifestyle and Digital Workstyle. Importantly these are not discreet and the interaction between them in vital if we are to deliver a personalized learning experience for all students.

A multi-stakeholder collaboration led by Intel, Cisco and Microsoft to help transform the teaching, learning and measurement of skills needed by citizens and workers in the 21st century. Mobilizing international educational, political and business communities is a key aspect of the project to make the transformation of educational assessment and, hence, instructional practice a global priority. �This slide provides a 40,000 ft view of the project and we’ll dive more into the different areas during the presentation. One note – throughout this, we talk about OECD, IEA, PISA & Timss assessment mechanisms. On an international basis, PISA & Timss are the main global assessment tools/ranking mechanisms. If needed: OECD = Organization for Economic cooperation and development IEA = International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement PISA = Program for International Student Assessments TiMSS = Trends in international Math and Science Study

Conclusiones del avance de los primeros resultados y evaluación del programa “Pizarra Digital”. Objetivo del estudio: evaluar el impacto de los tablet pc en los alumnos de 5º y 6º de primaria, su centro escolar (sólo centros públicos), sus profesores y sus familias Equipo de investigación: lo lleva a cabo un equipo de la Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona, externo al Departamento de Educación, Cultura y Deporte. Con el uso individual del tablet pc se pretende lograr un elevado nivel de competencia digital en los alumnos al finalizar su enseñanza primaria, que les será de gran utilidad para seguir progresando en sus estudios posteriores. En el curso 2008-09 el 90% de los centros públicos y el 26% de los concertados ya se encuentran inmersos en él y se ha comenzado a experimentar en el 14% de los Institutos de Aragón. El programa de pizarra digital desarrollado en Aragón mejora la calidad de la escuela. Esta herramienta, según el informe, da más prestigio a los docentes y mejora su motivación.
