• W893914492 abstract "JANUARY BRINGS many opportunities for change. Politically, we get a fresh start, with a new Congress, a new term for the presidential administration, and new leaders on the local level. Another school semester begins. A new wall calendar goes up, featuring pictures of kittens or rustic New England scenes. The new year also allows district technology leaders and innovators to reflect on how the rapid pace of technological change is impacting what happens in their classrooms. Instructional technologies that were all the rage a year ago (netbooks) can be swept aside by this year's favorite (iPads). Discerning which new developments are truly effective and which are just fads is the toughest challenge. T.H.E. Journal recently convened five experts who spend their days in the trenches helping school districts understand the impact of technology on teaching and learning. We asked them to consider 10 topics related to instructional technology and give us their predictions as to whether these subjects will be Hot (([up arrow])), Lukewarm ([right arrow])), or Losing Steam (([down arrow])in 2013. We compiled their responses to come up with an overall trend line. On some topics there was unanimous agreement and on others quite a disparity, but their in-depth commentary provides great food for thought. And all five will be speakers at the FETC 2013 conference in Orlando, FL, held Jan. 28-31. ([up arrow]) Software in the Cloud Ormiston: Many districts are concerned about the transition to software in the cloud, but it has been my experience that teachers and students transition very easily. Google Drive/Documents is the leader in productivity software that is quickly being adopted by districts large and small. BYOD districts, in particular, are exploring cloud-computing solutions to help all students get on the same page regardless of the device in their hand. Sheninger: As WiFi becomes more accessible to schools and families across the country, access to software in the cloud increases as well. For many schools and educators, this has become a cost-effective means to provide a variety of tools across buildings and districts. Making things even more appealing is the increasing number of applications that allow users to create dashboards to organize all downloaded cloud-based software. Lovely: Software in the cloud is here to stay, but one thing that has slowed the progress is the sometimes-sudden change or disappearance of popular cloud-based software. It is becoming more important than ever for educators and others to pay attention to the revenue models of software. Examining how software is funded can inform how likely the tool is to be stable and have longevity. ([up arrow]) Common Core Online Assessments Ormiston: The Common Core State Standards have teachers everywhere scrambling to redesign lessons and restructure curriculum. The shift is huge for most teachers in specifically in having students demonstrate what they know with digital tools. In my experience, a large group of our teachers do not have the technology skills that are underpinning the standards. My concern is that the ambitious goal of all-online testing comes at the same time that desktop hardware is aging in districts. Logistics will be a concern for many districts as they scramble to find the equipment and create a schedule to funnel students in and out of computer labs. Sheninger: The most daunting task for schools is to ensure that the technological infrastructure is in place that will allow for the testing of all students. This reality will force school districts to allocate precious financial resources to purchase computers and install WiFi at the expense of staffing, professional development, and other resources. As schools scramble to ensure that buildings are equipped to test all students according to mandates associated with the Common Core, the next challenge will be preparing for these assessments with not much insight on the process. …" @default.
