Closing session. The teacher: artist, bureaucrat, coach – or something else?

Inge Eidsvåg, the Nansen Academy

UNESCO: Since war is created in the head of men, we must make peace in the head of men…

The school can be used or misused.

In a changing society we need to have a changing school…

A peaceful world must start with the child.

The difference between a good school and a bad one is the teacher.

Nothing is learned which is not loved! (Augustin)

The teacher must be a life-long learner to keep his/her interest. To be a good teacher you must love the children.

You see the world as it is and ask why? I see the world as it could be and ask why not? (George Bernard Shaw)

Does school reflect the childrens outside world?

Does school embrace web 2.0?

Does school present an audience?

Does school enable collaboration outside the school walls?

Inte ska skolan vara kul?

På skolan vi är på har varje elev en egen dator. Enligt eleverna har det dock inte lett till att undervisningen blivit annorlunda. Huvudsakligen använder de datorn som skrivbok. De är inte ägare av datorn och har heller inga admin-rättigheter. Eleverna och lärarna är väldigt nöjda även om jag inte tycker det är så revolutionerande.

ICT in Teaching and Learning
Kjell Atle Halvorsen, Norwegian University of Science and Technology

Transforming the way we communicate, the way we learn… One of the reasons that teachers like interactive whiteboards is because they can keep the teaching practicing of the past putting in electricity…

What is web 2.0?

• A new generation of school internet services
  
• Rely on active user participation
  
• Play collective intelligence: Internet users work together
  
  • Youtube, blog, sms, animations, games, facebook (eTwinning is there), chat, podcasting, msn, google maps, videos, second Life
    

Google maps, putting in notes, pictures, facts

Do students leanr more with ICT?

Yes! … if we do it right … if we think differently

Should we use it to do more of the same – just a little more efficiently? To use the computer as a type-writer
or…
Pretty much the same - a lot more efficiently
or…
New stuff - different learning- more fun!

Open assignments, problem solving, collaboration, communication, student production, authentic learning, whole school engagement

PDW eTwinning - Nesodden vidergående skole

http://www.nesoddenmk.org/elev/EtwinningNVGS/Index.html

http://www.nesodden.vgs.no/

The school started in 1998. "I could never manage to return to a traditional way of teaching", says Ulf Meeg, teacher at Nesodden upper secondary school. (Aftenposten 240807)

Between 1999-2001 it was a project. From 2001 all students have laptops. Today 740 students and 100 employees have one laptop each.

In all subjects, NO private laptops, the student is NOT an administrator on her laptop. Wireless network, Learning management system (it'sLearning) All the student have: information, period plans, schedule, activities, lesson plan. They can make tests in it'sLearning. The students can get the results right away. The students have possibilities to ask questions in the message board. Plans on digital calendar (weeks activities). Handling of all written work: assignments, project, memos, group work, tests, gradin, etc. Six months' plan published on it'sLearning. Assignments in mathematics with specific software. Digital introduction of new topics (PPT or other forms). Big use of Internet. Correcting assignments…

The Nesodden School have chosen to have school computers. Why school computers and not private ones? Because they don't want the students to be administrators on their computers. The students, when they had private computers, also used the computers more to surf around the internet and did useless things…

No new things for me, but interesting to see anyway.

 

Inledning av kvällen: Två vackra sånger av en gitarrist och en sångerska. Fantastisk röst!

 

Ove skåra, The Norwegian Data Inspectorate: Schools campaign on personal information protection: "You decide…"

The real challenge is not to secure the right to privacy for the few that asks for help, but t get all the others to look upon privacy as a valuable good. (Umberto Eco)

"The one which do not have knowledge can ´not take responsibility… The one which do have knowledge, cannot disclaim responsibility"

Being aware of the communication     identify the message,         interpret and understand the message,     accept the senders arguments,     change of attitudes,         decide, in principle, to change my behavior,     a factual change of behavior,         the new behavior is reinforced and consolidated.

They have made a brochure "You decide… thoughts and facts about protecting your personal data". There is also a website; www.dubestemmer.no In English; http://www.dubestemmer.no/english.php

The films in the project is made by students in schools which have media programme. Six new movies will be ready on Sunday march 3^rd.
