4. http://www.ncrel.org/sdrs/areas/issues/methods/technlgy/te600.htm Educational technology, especially computers and computer-related peripherals, have grown tremendously and have permeated all areas of our lives. It is incomprehensible that anyone today would argue that banks, hospitals, or any industry should use less technology. Most young people cannot understand arguments that schools should limit technology use. ‘Technology: A Catalyst for Teaching and Learning in the Classroom’ Gilbert Valdez, Ph.D

LISBON AGREEMENT In 2000 the Lisbon Agreement, recognising that the future is a knowledge based society, challenged the European Union to become “the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world, capable of sustainable economic growth with more and better jobs,and greater social cohesion” by 2010.

11. Crap teacher + technology = Not good enough (you might look good but you’re not making a difference) Great teacher + no technology = Great, but... (you are doing a good job but you’re not preparing kids for their future) "The principal goal of education is to create people who are capable of doing new things, not simply repeating what other generations have done."--Piaget Great teacher + effective technology = Woohoo! (technology and instruction -skills & knowledge-are integral & symbiotic) Teaching + Technology = Student Outcome

12. Effective teaching for all students will depend on teachers becoming confident and capable users of ICT and understanding how to integrate ICT effectively into their teaching practice. Enabling the 21st century learner.

28. students and teachers must utilize technology effectively. To live, learn, and work successfully in an increasingly complex, information-rich and knowledge- based society, students and teachers must utilize technology effectively. Within a sound educational setting, technology can enable students to become: Capable information technology users Information seekers, analyzers, and evaluators Problem solvers and decision makers Creative and effective users of productivity tools Communicators, collaborators, publishers, and producers Informed, responsible, and contributing citizens ICT COMPETENCY STANDARDS FOR TEACHERS UNESCO 2008

29. KEY COMPETENCIES?

37. CONCLUSION World Renowned educators are in agreement -technology is a necessary & important aspect of the future lives of our students There needs to be more depth in the teaching of the competencies of eLearning There needs to be continued emphasis on developing the competencies of well rounded citizens

38. E-learning and pedagogy Information and communication technology (ICT) has a major impact on the world in which young people live. Similarly, e-learning (that is, learning supported by or facilitated by ICT) has considerable potential power to support... teaching approaches... For instance, e-learning may should: 1 assist the making of create connections by enabling students to enter and explore new learning environments, overcoming barriers of distance and time 2 facilitate shared learning by enabling students to join or and create communities of learners that extend well beyond the classroom 3 assist in the creation of supportive learning environments by offering providing resources that take account of individual, cultural, or developmental differences 4 enhance opportunities to learn by offering giving students virtual experiences and tools that save them time, allowing them to take their learning further. Schools should explore not only how use ICT to supplement traditional ways of teaching but also how it can and open up new and different ways of learning.
