Jason Ohler…Then What?
The Past, Present, and Future of Education and Technology
Jason led a pre-conference session yesterday on digital storytelling which was very well received. He’s continuing the same theme on writing and telling stories as a part of learning.
Four tech teaching tips:
- Don’t fear 10 year olds who know more than you…deputize them…
- Be kind to your techies
- Practice Zen Tech, not Zantac
- Have fun…of course!
Don’t rule by concern
- Turn concerns into goals…
- Goals allow you to aim, move with intent…
Teachers and staff need…(the same thing they needed in the first place!)
- Technology
- Tech Support
- Time
- Training
- CARE Incentives:
- Compensation
- Assistance
- Recognition
- Education
Jason’s presentation was very captivating and held a lot of
information. I haven’t done a very good job of summarizing it, he
wrapped it up and disguised his message into compelling story. I would encourage and recommend attending his session tomorrow if you have the chance!
