From Textbooks to Digital in the Classroom
"Curriculum must allow students to be at the center of their education with the teacher actively facilitating and orchestrating real student learning."
Tech and Learning recently put out a blog by Michael Gorman that discusses trading the traditional textbook to a more technology integrated classroom. Saying this will open the doors to a curriculum that is more "alive, relevant, rich, engaging, rigorous, and timely." Now that the world is living in the digital age, our schools and classrooms should too.
Michael makes 10 points about turning classrooms tech savvy. Saying schools need to be equipped with the accurate infrastructure and technology to deliver core content. The textbook cannot be the sole resource at a student's disposal but their gateway to an open source. A digital classroom would connect students to places outside the school, including their homes, the community, and the world. A technology based classroom would let the teachers learn along with kids as they explore what is fast becoming our world. Teachers would be able to plan engaging learning activities that innovate.
Now that you have read about what might be the classrooms of the future, check out DEPCO Studio, an all-encompassing, online education tool that delivers enriched media content and tests while also offering all your lab management needs. Scheduling, test-taking, record keeping, and messaging organizes classrooms and communication between students and teachers in a simple, systematic approach (http://www.depcollc.com/Products/modules/online-curriculum.aspx). This allows teachers to take charge of their classroom in that same technological way that would stimulate the students as well as incorporate the technologies being used today outside of the classroom.
