Making the Move with Ed Tech Book Club: Introduction

 After reading the introduction, here are a few takeaways:

Rethinking Edtech Frameworks and Tools 

What framework do you use? Why?

Teachers need to refine their technical skills to implement, integrate, and institutionalize tech in classrooms. 

What systems are in place to support this? (p1)     Instead of a hammer, a toolbox.

COMPUTER LITERACY    rather than app mastery

Being able to apply skills across apps rather than feeling crippled and restricted to onbly one? 

Calculators, books, etc. didn't take place of a teacher! 

Panacea (a solution or remedy for all difficulties or diseases) but often marketed not strategic (p2)

Ed tech is lacking a how-to manual for supporting classroom best practices, there is a need for a technology integration road map (p2) 

Categories vs tools: Collaboration not just Google Drive

Critical Analysis of entire ed tech industry is not possible, remember it can be bias, have blind spots, and is usually profit driven (p9)

• What does this technology assume about learners and the act of learning? 
• What does this technology assume about teachers and the act of teaching?
• What are the inherent affordances and constraints of the technology and for what additional purposes might we imagine it could be used? (p9)
