Doug Woods (ICT in Schools) has blogged about why he thinks that it’s inappropriate the say that “good teachers don’t need technology” and he goes into some details here: http://doug-woods.blogspot.com/2010/06/good-teachers-dont-need-technology.html I’ve tried to post a comment on his blog, but so far it didn’t appear there, so I’d like to use my blog to publish my [...]
I’ve just finished exploring the “technology-enhanced literacy instruction” literature and creating a prezi presentation file about it, that I will share will our educational sciences bachelor students (4th year: “Younger”). I’m heavily relying on the TPACK Model (Mishra & Koehler, 2006) to structure this presentation. I have also introduced the SAMR Model (Puentedura, 2009) to [...]
I’ve been thinking about a question (based on a rather natural anxiety) that some of my students have asked me: “What will the questions in the final written exam look like?” and my spontaneous response was that I wouldn’t answer this question, or at least that I would not give a precise and concrete answer [...]

Too often we get lost in the minutia of of the project and forget the broader, overarching frame. The structure of our lessons, our semester, our mini-activities needs to have a larger [...]
I strongly recommend reading this blog post by Christine Brockmeyer on her personal (non) experiences with computers in education. Dat Erliefniss mam Computer am “Communication visuelle” Kuer wat d’Christine eis héi beschréift, weisst ganz schein, dass de fait de Computer als creation tool anzesetzen direkt, quasi automatesch och eng aaner sozial form vu léieren mat [...]
I’ve been thinking about using a set of visually rich illustrations to graphically represent a metaphor of the requirements we ask our BScE1 students to fulfill (BScE1 = 1 Semester of the Bachelor in Educational Sciences study program). We actually want them to develop into “reflective practitioners” combining two different (maybe even seemingly incompatible) developmental [...]
I’ve stumbled upon a website called ‘The Future of Education: Charting the Course of Teaching and Learning in a Networked World’. While reading the description — “This community is devoted to providing an opportunity for those who care about education to share their voices and ideas with others. It’s a place for thoughtful discussion on [...]
