7 preguntas inteligentes sobre tecnología y educación
Siete preguntas interesantes, inteligentes y pertinentes.
Siete preguntas que vale la pena formularse al tiempo de pensar en incorporar tecnología en la educación.
Siete preguntas que las instituciones educativas, las comunidades educativas y hasta los gobiernos que buscan evolucionar debieran hacerse.
Estas siete preguntas surgen de The Digital Promise: Transforming Learning with Innovative Uses of Technology un informe sobre alfabetización y aprendizaje en la era digital escrito por Jeanne Wellings y Michael H. Levine del Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop que justamente se hace esas siete preguntas fundamentales para la educación en el siglo XXI.
1. Does the proposed expenditure support 21st century literacies or does it primarily support content acquisition that may be less critical in the information age?
2. Will the technology being implemented have the technical and human resource support necessary to be effective? Will teachers need professional development for effective implementation? Will the existing infrastructure support the technology?
3. Will the technology engage students and encourage intellectual curiosity? Will the expenditure produce high student achievement by addressing rigorous standards, providing schools with relevant data, enhancing teacher effectiveness, engaging struggling students, or improving struggling schools?
4. Is the new technology intervention superior to alternatives or existing interventions? Will it do new things in new ways, or merely serve as an electronic replication of what’s already being done?
5. Is the expenditure a collaborative decision resulting from meaningful discussion by a reasonable and informed group of stakeholders? Is there evidence that it will improve the teaching and learning environment?
6. Will the district or school commit to sustained, ongoing resource investments in infrastructure and professional development necessary to support the technology after all stimulus funds are spent?
7. Is the expenditure in line with the goals of the stimulus package and state and community goals for improving student achievement?
