I'm an ESL teacher using technology in my classroom. I've had this same vision. I've done Phase 1 and 2. The 3 phase, I'm going to try to have ESL students write a newspaper for our school, in English. Can we talk?

Sounds like a great project. I'm willing to talk any time!

Reposting comments from ur post page:

The funny thing is that these 3 phases have happened within the traditional classroom as well.

Phase 1: Chalk and talk

Phase 2: Student reads textbooks and perhaps responds to them using traditional short answer questions

Phase 3: Students produce their own work (ie poster, presentation, model, etc).

Ideally, you would want all teachers to reach phase 3 in traditional teaching within the classroom (ie paradigm shift). The same as for technology.

Absolutely true. Using technology has the added bonus of communication with a mass audience if desired. There is nothing inherently "technological" about 21st Century Skills. Communication, Collaboration, and Creation can happen without any technology. But the use of technology facilitates it on a global level.

Hi David we have made some research about teacher’s skills for the school of the future, you can see the conclusions, presented last November at Udmurt University – Russia: URL olcw.thegraal.net/TSSF/Present­ing_at_izhevsk.htm

I would like to listen to your comments and suggestions.

Best regards

"Any teacher that can be replaced by technology deserves to be." We agree! Nothing can replace teachers, and their skillful implementation of technology in the classroom lies at the heart of the all important goal of keeping our education system as up-to-date and relevant as possible. Kudos, jleaster!

This is very helpful! I am the teacher in-charged for technology integration in our school. We just started the system this year, it's exciting. Thank you for sharing this video. I learned great things in spending 7 minutes of my life while watching your presentation.

Can I have permission to embed this video into my Wiki on integrating technology in the classroom?

I'm embedding this video into a blog I have to do for a technology course at Grand Canyon University. Excellent example of what we're learning about.

It was apparent in the days of "gopher sites," then early webpages, that the internet was giving us the potential to make learning an active, global experience; some of our earliest projects with the first webpages and projects were between k-12 kids as part of a community college "Kids Academy" in collaboration with kids in other parts of the world. K-8 kids especially seemed particularly ahead on this, and there has been an iterative development of such active, collaborative learning since.
