Leveraging Emerging Technologies for Teaching & Learning
Alternative Education, Dropout Prevention, and Summer School Professional Development Meeting Thursday, September 1, 2011

Reading is a foundational skill for learning, personal growth, and enjoyment. The degree to which students can read and understand text in all formats (e.g., picture, video, print) and all contexts is a key indicator to success in school and in life. As a lifelong learning skill, reading goes beyond decoding and comprehension to interpretation and development of new understandings.

Adolescents have been called "digital natives," but data suggests that they are both comfortable with new technologies, and yet not always as technically savvy as we collectively believe them to be.
"Schools need to think how powerful it could be as a learning tool [social media] to bring that engagement outside the classroom into the classroom…you insert a simple tool that allows students to connect with each other or their peers in other schools and countries whenever they want, you just see kids' faces light up. That's what we saw in a class where our kids were talking to students in Iowa."
We must educate the students we have, not the student we used to have, nor the student we wished we had. We must adapt to today's student, not them adapting to us. We must adapt to their world of today's 21st century technology. We cannot teach like we've taught forever anymore. We must change ourselves to adapt to their world.They are hyper-communicators and must "power down" just to go to school.
