Program description
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

The ISTE Nets (tech standards) are approximately a decade old. They’ve produced endless meetings, clich\u00e9-laden documents and breathless rhetoric, but no perceptible increase in student computer fluency or teacher competence. Rather than standardizing, it\u2019s time to amplify human potential with computers. A new diet of computing is required for learners.<\/p>\n

Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are a lot of computers in schools, but not a lot of computing. The ISTE Nets and their state and local spawn offer an imagination-free vision of school technology use that hardly justifies the investment let alone realizes the potential of computers as intellectual laboratories or vehicles for self-expression. The current crop of technology standards form the basis, at best, for a form of \u201ccomputer appreciation\u201d being taught in school.<\/p>\n

If school leaders demand them, we should offer tech standards worthy of our students based on powerful ideas and a commitment to teacher renewal. We must move beyond the trivial and use computers in a fashion consistent with modern knowledge construction. These new \u201cstandards\u201d elevate school computing and challenge traditional notions of top-down schooling.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s call them N.I.T.S. \u2013 New Intergalactic Technology Standards<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gary and his virtual friends, Brian Smith in Hong Kong and Martin Levins in Australia, will share their recommendations for raising our standards to the level kids deserve. Educon<\/a> participants can argue the merits of these goals and add their own. You should have a lot fewer meetings to attend when your superiors are afraid of our new standards.<\/p>\n

Everybody wins! Standards, up yours!<\/p>\n
