How do you use videos in your classroom?
What technology do you use?
What procedures do you use in your classes with technology?
How do you use technology in your classroom?------------------------------------------------
Short answer: if you read just one article, make it Clark's 2005 article about five common Misconceptions about multimedia learning
http://www.cogtech.usc.edu/publications/clark_five_common.pdf

These are the types of questions that principals usually ask about technology.
Here's what most people expect as an answer:

How to Flip the Classroom
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aGuLuipTwgKatie Gimbar's presentation
Here's my attempt to describe the Flipped Classroom

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUeb1dCDlPc How I use ipads to teach (to make presentations)
That's what most people want. "Tell me what kind of devices to use and tell me how to use them."
===========
But ... we have to ask other questions FIRST:
Reading about technology in the Nova ITDE program has made me want to focus more and more FIRST on the general principles of instruction used in the classroom.
What does the teacher assume about learning?
What do the students assume about learning?
What is the link between presentation (direct instruction) and learning (what happens inside the student's head)?
===============
Start with getting the "right mindset" in the teachers and students
Dr. Fischler's book about commentaries concerning the transformation of schools
FREE BOOK
www.Transform-education.com <<< GO HERE
abe.thestudentistheclass.com for insight into the transformation that is needed to support the new technology.
the one page list of quotations that are used in training for the transformation of education
Dan Pink's chapter about schools in Free Agent Nation (which appears as an article in Reason magazine, online)
The mindset of students can be altered by asking teachers to study this website and by bringing those quotes and exercises into class.
====
Then get the Clark readings (Richard Clark's "Media are mere vehicles" article is summarized)
then Clark focuses on the 2006 findings about projects
This article has been reworked into a popular format, published in American Educator in Spring 2012.
"Putting Students on the Path to Learning."
This article helps build understanding that there are limits to the use of videos and technology to assume that project-based learning will achieve results that are needed.
Rosenshine's Principles of Instruction (distributed by UNESCO) are available online
Clark recommends this article.
Rosesnhine's 1997 article about "the case for teacher led instruction" -- which is one strategy for the use of technology (since the teacher is in charge of the learning with the flipped classroom and videos presented before classes)
Clark's readings are collected here at USC (Univ of Southern Calif)
Another key reading is Clark's 2005 article about five common Misconceptions about multimedia learning

once the mindset is established, then the issues about the "best technologies" can be discussed

If you want to go beyond "what technologies should we use?," then you can ask, "How should we approach teaching in general?"
The issue of automated knowledge is overlooked, according to Clark
Here is an interview on YOUTUBE (excerpt) where Clark discusses automated knowledge

This is my training workshop that brings together Daniel Pink, Thomas Friedman, Deming, and the insights of Clark, Fischler, Rosenshine and the innovations of MOOC and distance education.
W. Edwards Deming
Neil Postman and Teaching as a Subversive Activity, especially chapter 12

I hope this list helps the math teacher see that the benefits of the technology depend on the quality of the school system...
Or the math teacher can read some videos and articles about "how to use ipads in math class" and avoid the stretching that Dr. Clark's articles will require.
How do we train teachers to use technology in schools?
That's a bigger question...
Can we get the same or better results without the added technology? Perhaps, if we follow Clark's focus on methods. Improve the methods and you'll get improvements.

Students take charge of their learning.
Sal Khan: Making Personalized Education Possible
"taking ownership of your own learning..."
-- Salman Khan
===================
Look for information about Distance Education.
How to Organize Online Courses
Unit Module Topic
3 units, 5 weeks in a 15-week semester
5 Modules in one unit (one module per week)
3 to 5 Topics in one Module (learning objects, learning experiences)
3 units, 15 modules, 45 topics
3 topics per week, 15 weeks -- M. Simonson
Learn about Equvalency Theory in Distance Education
How should we grade discussions?
Threaded discussion promote thinking about critical issues
1. post a meaningful question
2. direct response, post a comment about another student's response, then post a comment about other comments.
3. eliminate meaningless postings.
4. grading: outstanding, acceptable, poor
5. rule of thumb: 10-20% of course grade's weight comes from the threaded discussion
-- M. Simonson

If we want to personalize learning, as advocated by Salman Khan, then let's spend twenty minutes listening to Enrique on a tour of Nightingale School to learn how a school can turn into a community center, pulling in the resources of mentors in the neighborhood.
