EDUCATION?

CHANGE?

“Maybe I’m wrong, but I should say that in ten years textbooks as the principal medium of teaching will be obsolete…

…as obsolete as the horse and carriage are now.”

Diaries of Thomas Edison, 1925

Why is technology important?

U. S. Department of Commerce Reports:

The United States Department of Commerce ranked 55 industrial sectors by their level of Information Technology (IT).

Education came in at 55

The lowest of all including coal mining (U.S. Department of Commerce, 2002).

Global Perspective

We are preparing students for an

era that no longer exists and for a job

market that no longer offers the same positions

(Partnership for 21st Century Skills, 2006).

The Global Achievement Gap Basic Skills No Longer

Enough

Minimum jobs need to solve a range of intellectual and technical problems

21st century skills calls us to reason, analyze, weigh evidence, problem-solve – and to communicate effectively

They are survival skills for all of us

Woefully Ill-Prepared

“The future U.S. workforce is here – and it is woefully

ill-prepared for the demands of today’s (and tomorrow’s)

workplace”

(The Conference Board, Partnership for 21st century Skills, Corporate Voices for Working Families, HR Society for Human Resource Management, 2006, p. 9).

The New York Technology Policy and Planning Council Report of July 2007

Nearly a decade into the 21st Century, there are indications that American society – including businesses, industry, education, and communities -- have not kept pace with the rapid transformation into a knowledge-based society.

Building the technological capacity of the education system in the U.S. is critical to the global leadership of the state of New York and the nation.

The New York Technology Policy and Planning Council Report of July 2007

In international competition in mathematics and science, American

students are not competitive, with less than one-third of 4th and 8th grade students performing at or above a level of proficiency in

mathematics. National Center for Education Statistics. (2006).The Nation’s Report Card:

Mathematics (2005).

The New York Technology Policy and Planning Council Report of July 2007

In the U.S., 34% of doctoral degrees in natural

sciences, and 56% of engineering PhDs are

awarded to foreign-born students.

Approximately 1/3 of students in the U.S. do not graduate after 4 years of HS. In the nation’s most recent study of HS dropouts:

47% said that a major reason for dropping out was that classes were not interesting

70% said they were not motivated or inspired to work hard

81% said there should be more opportunities for real world learning.

What is Cyber Bullying?

Using communication technologies such as email, cell phones, chat rooms, instant messaging, blogs, or defamatory personal websites to send or post repeated, deliberate, cruel and harmful text or images

(Shek, 2004; Belsey, www.cyberbullying.ca)

Characteristics

Speed & Ease: Access available 24 hours/day, 7

days/week—victims can no longer find solace at home

Pictures/text sent instantly If kids simply “turn off” their

technology, they are socially isolated.

Poughkeepsie, NY, who committed suicide after being bullied online. http://www.ryanpatrickhalligan.org/
