http://mindshift.kqed.org/2011/12/21-things-that-will-be-obsolete-in-2020
1. Desks (21st century does not fit in rows, neither to students)
2. Language labs (on your smartphone!)
3. Computers (what form is this device?)
4. Homework (24/7 environment, learn more, not more school)
5. Differentiated instruction (customizable content, personalized)
6. Wikipedia (Get over it– it is the primary reference tool)
7. Paperbacks (Digital Learning Content)
8. IT Departments (cloud computing, security, analytics)
9. Organization by Grade (individualized, peer interest groups)
10. Outsource PD (leverage internal experts, self-directed)

Issues for laptops as learning tools
![Page 11: Cognitive Tools-qais](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062418/554e4ac3b4c905f8158b45f9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Models of Implementation
1:1 laptop / tablet programs or BYOD programs
Standardized school program vs BYOD Lease vs buy Proprietary software vs Open source Warranty vs no warranty Helpdesk Support Insurance claims Machine type: Mac vs PC vs iPad Single type vs mixed environments

D. Classroom Management Strategies
Why is this important in a computer classroom? Level of distraction….
In class At home
How often are you finding yourself distracted when you use your laptop?
Never Rarely Once in a while Some of the time All of the time
![Page 13: Cognitive Tools-qais](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062418/554e4ac3b4c905f8158b45f9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Classroom Management Strategies
Why is this important in a device-enabled classroom? Level of distraction.. Level of focus.. Level of controls..
How do we make it a positive experience Not controls Not by limiting access Not by restricting usability functions Engage them in real-world tasks Keep research to minimum and focused, timed Show results via screen capture or shared leads
Teacher vs Technology

“Gap Analysis”
“Where are we now”? Texting Communication Curriculum Searching for content online Reading digital text Connecting with friends
Chat - collaborate Comfort with technology Use of media Posting online Making a home video Learning Online
UnComfortableComfortable
Institution – administrator – teacher – student

B. Shift in Learning Paradigms Ubiquitous access (always connected, access resources)
Flipped classroom (Learn at home-work at school)
etextbooks (Flexbooks) (digital learning content)
OER materials, OCW course materials (open resources)
Search and research (develop skills to filter, validate, literacies)
Creativity (more media, the facetime generation
Organization (curation skills, fragments of learning content)
Communication (IM is not good enough)
Blended Learning (f2f with online)
![Page 16: Cognitive Tools-qais](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062418/554e4ac3b4c905f8158b45f9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Visible Learning Learning is centered around the interests of the learner
This learning is immersive – learning by doing
The device connects the learner to the rest of the world
Learning is where the learner is…in the classroom ?
Key is learning content, not classroom or tools

Acceptable Use Policy(in the modern era)
AUP must be adapted to include, Web 2.0
LCC IT Policy
Social and Network policy
![Page 22: Cognitive Tools-qais](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062418/554e4ac3b4c905f8158b45f9/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Restrict = Protect ?
There is a wide range of restrictiveness with regard to Internet access in schools
Blocking and filtering harmful sites is one way (Students can bypass)
Another way is to teacher children to be responsible, while also blocking and filtering some sites.
It’s about choice –teach responsibility
Federal, State (Provincial), School Policy and Laws – tend to prohibit or inhibit
School with less restrictive environments distinguish behavior between age groupings of students
![Page 23: Cognitive Tools-qais](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062418/554e4ac3b4c905f8158b45f9/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Safety/Access
Web 2.0 applications, use of mobile phones, social networking sites access, Facebook, Google +
SOPA, PIPA , COPPA… other privacy acts
How do we adjust our thinking, revise our polices in the knowledge age, where we are always connected.
How do we promote use of technologies and still provide safe and secure environment.. Where is the balance?
![Page 24: Cognitive Tools-qais](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062418/554e4ac3b4c905f8158b45f9/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Digital Footprints
Digital Literacy – real vs online world
Privacy Laws –sharing passwords, details online
Copyright vs Creative Commons (OER)
Intellectual Property (DRM)
SOPA and PIPA
Plagiarism detection
IM/Chat sites
SPAM and bots

AUP in Web2.0 and Mobile Era
Policies are created in two dimensions: 1. to ensure students are protected from harmful materials on the
internet 2. enable student to access to extensive resources on the Internet
![Page 27: Cognitive Tools-qais](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062418/554e4ac3b4c905f8158b45f9/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
1. Social Networking Policies
How does the policy differ in a connected society?
Policies are principles or rules that are intended to shape decisions and actions. Policy provide a framework (what and why) Stated in broad terms
Procedures are ways that organizations implement policies (how, who and when) Operational terms
What are polices on use of the school laptop for personal use? Commenting on blogs? Setting up personal websites? Intellectual property rights?...
![Page 28: Cognitive Tools-qais](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062418/554e4ac3b4c905f8158b45f9/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
2.
What are some approaches to develop an AUP? Individual or IT based – working independently
Easier, more efficient, faster and more inclusive Better ownership by the students
Committee of stakeholders or community input
Acceptable use policies vs responsible use policies Does policy include social networking, mobiles (personal devices?) Does it follow CIPA? Do you educate students on appropriate online behavior?
![Page 29: Cognitive Tools-qais](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062418/554e4ac3b4c905f8158b45f9/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
3.
How does provincial/school board regulations affect Internet policies pertaining to filtering, AUP’s, cyberbullying and mobile use? Schools and school board have enacted rules for bullying, hazing
and harassment in real and virtual spaces. How has social networking (FB, twitter) impacted the current
policies? How has BYOD impacted current policy?
![Page 30: Cognitive Tools-qais](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062418/554e4ac3b4c905f8158b45f9/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
4.
Are you regularly updating the policies (for faculty and Students)?
Updating school policy for mobiles and social networking. Are you relaxing policies or making them closed? Are you
updating the policy annually? Do you have faculty/students sign the form annually.
Does policy cover school owned and personal devices?
Specific use of Web 2.0 tools, blogs, wikis, published material on the web.
Is less restrictive necessarily better? Or worse?
