What changed is the context of learning:
• Equality, identity, community support.• High impact in low SE families computer and connectivity• More use of laptops at home less TV (87% self-learning)• Change roles: teacher & kids.• New spaces of interaction (wifi public spaces).
The implementation of Ceibal
Year 2014
1,300 100%
Urban Educational Centers
With Fiber Optics and Video Conference Equipment
Technology and Pedagogyand Learning Goals
• Write, search information, develop projects, collaborative activities.
• Main challenges: lack of training and time.• Learning support assistants: e-skills, pedagogic
coach, tools, stimulate creativity.• Higher motivation of students (class/home).
Teachers:
63% satisfied with the experience.76% very positive the effects on students.2/3 identify change in their practices.
• Technology as an accelerator of Deep Learning
1. Formative evaluation systems2. Remote English teachers3. Math Adaptive Platform4. Logic, programming & robotics (Labs)
Systematic On line tests for Science, Mathematics and Reading
On line Evaluation
On line Evaluation Done
Students from grade 3rd to 9th participated
313,966
860,154 Tests done in 2014
It offer immediate information of students performance
Identify problems - feedback to each students – adjust methodology
• Partnership with The British Council• Expanded presence: Classes through VC 6,000
miles away. (Remote Teachers working with Local Classroom Teachers)
• 2015: All students from 4th to 6th grade• BC: remote teaching is an emerging trend
Teaching English
2015: 100,000 students4,000 groups third party supplies the tests

demand-driven projects by Makers”instead of the traditional computer lab"
Technology as an accelerator of pedagogy
The challenge – to expand the educational environment (learning by creating, sharing, making mistakes)
and activate the deepen knowledge acquisition

New Pedagogies for Deep Learning
• 10 countries with 100 centers each• Pedagogical model through exchange and continuous
improvement of deep learning experiences• Co-construction of strategies in the use of technology• Generation of new ways to measure, new results
Strategy
‘don’t value what we measure, measure what we value’
Questions of Challenge
• How to consolidate the blended learning? (F2F, virtual, self/collective, formal, informal, i.e Citizen science)
• How to build new assessments and measure deep
learning? (new knowledge currencies)
• How to foster the personalization and adaptive
assessment? (learning analytics)
• How to stimulate student's creativity and self-
learning?(drop out)
• How to transition from a technology-centre approach
into alternative ways of understanding teaching practice?(capacity building)

Transforming Privileges into Rights.
Adding a layer of tools on top of traditional curriculum is not enough to address the learning we need*
*(W.Richardson)The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled." — Plutarch
Challenges
• Resistance: Change teacher’s mind set (capacity building).
Transit from a technology-centre approach into alternative ways of understanding teaching practice.
• More personalized learning experiences:Integrate different learning environments (Formal/informal).Embrace more flexible ways of integrating disciplines (PBL). Build new assessments (holistic indicators).
there´s no one single accountability but a combination of outcomes
