Don’t blame the tools

Don’t blame the tools | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
I was once at a conference where a delegate started chatting to me about iPads in schools. He’d been in charge of the rollout of more than 500 tablets to staff and students in his school and I sensed frustration and a little dejection when he described what obviously had turned into a head-aching predicament. I won’t bore you with his story, but essentially he had ordered a load of tablets and assumed that everything else would be all right.

Convincing Staff to Learn a New Thing

Convincing Staff to Learn a New Thing | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
Last year, I attended a presentation focused on convincing staff to use a new tool the library had purchased. The presentation offered up different ideas on how to do that.

The presenter (and, I assume, the library) didn’t seem to want to make learning the new tool mandatory, and were concerned that they might have to do that at some point.

In my previous post, I wrote about embracing technology's big new possibilities in education through smaller-scale changes that we can implement right now for our students' benefit. I'd like to continue with a few more thoughts on this subject, once again in the spirit of starting conversations in your school or district (as well as in the comments section of this post).
