Instructional Media Study Group Returns

About two years ago, I started a study group with a few other interested educators about instructional media. We read a number of great books, explored creating interactive PowerPoints, film, audio, and online classes, and had some really wonderful discussions. We took a break but we are back to meeting for the summer.

Last night we had our first meeting based on these readings:

How do you think technology should be used in school? This article describes three possibilities:

These articles suggests students are changing. Do you agree?

These two blog posts are lists of things "every teacher should know" about technology. One is very combative, the other more supportive:

We had a great time discussing these articles and envisioning what a great classroom integrated with technology would look like. We also each set goals on what our personal summertime challenges would be. We'll meet again to discuss a new set of articles and share what we've been doing in regards to our personal challenges.
