Do any of these phrases prompt a response from you about the role of technology in education: privacy, equity, learner agency, creativity, professional development, community, networking, digital citizenship, digital literacy, self-directed learning, personal learning, student voice, blended learning, mobile learning, online learning, and global learning? Feel free to elaborate.

From those who gave permission for their answers to be published.​
  • - Creativity has to do with learning applying 21rst century skills.
    - Professional development concerns lifelong learning and taking online courses.
    - Community implies making projects that can improve the quality of life in one's immediate surrounding.
    - Networking can mean working in groups online such as groups on GOOGLE+
    - Digital citizenship can imply respecting each other and being tolerant while dealing with online projects.
    - Self-directed Learning is autonomous learning and self motivation to learn.
    - Blended Learning is mixing face to face and online learning.
    - Mobile Learning is using mobile apps to enhence learning.
  • "Do we need physical school buildings anymore?
  • [Lol! Short answer: yes. ]
  • 1. Creativity, as we give students the topics for preparation of presentation
    2. professional development, It reflects our own development as well how much we are involved in our profession. Use of students' centred learning also improves us in our profession
    3. blended learning: Use of technology should be a blended learning with different new techniques involved
  • A lot of these words echo what I feel is the value of technology is to our students and are integral in 21st Century learning and inquiry-based learning. Using this technology to interact with students through North America, Great Britain and Asia, has made me realize that they are all the same with respect to that they want to learn, they are inquisitive and we need to take advantage of that natural curiosity about all aspects of the world around them. 
  • Absolutely -  for me students being able to differentiate reliable accurate information- digital literacy is my big thing
  • Again, public libraries have a major role to play
  • agency, equity, and self-directed learning all strike a cord with me.
  • All are crucial 
  • All are part of the role of technology in education
  • all do.  21st century skills and thoughts.
  • All incredibly significant, and all must be well understood to provide effective teaching and learning in those areas
  • all of the above
  • all of the above
  • All of the above and I am sorry I do not have time to elaborate on more than PD. Teachers need to be paid by their schools or districts to develop as more effective users of technology for their own needs and then to see the value of creating unit and lesson plans that fully integrate technology in all curriculum areas for student lead project based learning.
  • All of the above are enhanced by technology
  • All of the above phrases prompt a response from me as to the role of tech in education. As learning become more social thanks to social media, there are privacy issues that we must take into consideration. As a mother, I am concerned about how my children use apps and the Internet to learn. I want my children and students to feel they have agency to choose what they want to learn but it is also very important to teach younger learners about keeping their information private. As digitally literate citizens, learners of all ages need to understand what are the benefits and potential dangers to online, social learning.
  • All of the above.  Without knowledge of these topics, the technology will not be used correctly.
  • All of the above. I am very interested in the role of technology in a sociological context.
  • All of them
  • all of them - they are all part of the big pool of the new education that I have been swimming in the past 10 years!
  • All of them are important and interrelating to technology and learning.  It can be hard to balance and cover all.  I feel I need to give up certain privacy to obtain what I want.  At least that is the current state, but there is room for improvement.
  • All of them are important. Blended learning is something we already do in school since 2014. My students participate in global learning activities, I.e. TIGed, SEAMEO.
  • all of them are related to me. 
  • All of them conectand are important
  • All of them resonate!
  • all of them, I think that they describe the bits and pieces of good aspects of technology that are important components of the 21st Century grads
  • All of them! It is not just a daisy-Venn diagram - it is a veritable Chrysanthemum!
  • All of them.
  • All of them. Most importantly, the role of technology gives students ownership and choice in their learning (learner agency and self-directed learning) and connects them with a global network of knowledge and thought-leaders (networking, community, global learning).
  • All of these are important aspects of technology in education and in life today.  As teachers our role is to balance the value or risks associated with each element and connect our learners with the tools (tech-based or not) that will best support their learning.  By extension we should be showing our students how to thoughtfully choose the best tools for themselves and the task at hand so that they can continue to learn and thrive in their lives beyond school.
  • All of these are now necessary for almost any adult to function in the US today
  • All of these phrases create a response! This is the profile of ed-tech from inception, management and impact. Ed-tech provides the freedom to develop our  own tutelage through community building, self-directed practices, and a variety of learning strategies like blended learning and flipped classroom. It gives an open space to increase student voice. Ed-tech is a tool that diffuses the power differential between many social and economical constructs. It should be viewed in that way; created and managed responsibly as an opportunity to produce solutions. 
  • All of these things are important.
  • All of these words are great.
  • All terms take learning to another, broader level. Places more responsibility and ownership of learning on the student.
  • All the prompts have a response, but mostly the prompts are woven together in learning. Each prompt is one used throughout education and from our department as well. The soft skills students need today for success match the prompts indicated. 
  • All these phrases are involved in the process of advancement of learning. 
  • all words are within the range of enhancing L&T
  • All- privacy, equity, learner agency, creativity, professional development, community, networking, digital citizenship, digital literacy, self-directed learning, personal learning, student voice, blended learning, mobile learning, online learning, and global learning
  • ALL, sadly my undergraduate students, all soon to be teachers are not very tech savvy, so it is all a challenge.  I am always amazed when I hear them say, "I am not good at technology" Really!!!  Hard to believe in this day and age but I hear it every semester.  I am always hopeful my class will make them a little braver and more comfortable integrating technology with purpose in their own classrooms soon,
  • Almost all of them
  • Almost all of them
  • Almost all of these have some resonance with me because they are sort of the currency of many of my roles as a teacher/librarian. 
  • Analytics demands we think about privacy and ethical consensual use of the data. I'm a huge fan of widening access and participation in education and want free online learning to do this. Creativity see e.g. my comment on blogs. All my students can 'Google', we need to teach information and digital literacy. The student voice - some of my students complain but never come forward to become partners in their education - we're working on this! Blended learning - we do this more and more. Medicine seems to be an early adopter of mobile learning because their students are often at many different sites. Our business school is catching up and is starting global online platforms.
  • Any of these elements will be successful if students are active participants in technology-based learning. I think it is still up to teachers to create effective curriculum and lesson plans using technology to support student learning.
  • Aprendizaje autónomo y responsable
  • Big issue with faculty and online is the potential for cheating.  This cuts down many online assessment opportunities.  I use random questions such that each student has different questions
  • Blended learning
  • blended learning
  • blended learning - how teachers can move forward in this area...tired of seeing technology use being research, academic games and publishing - 
  • Blended learning is the most evocative for me
  • but, HOW to motivate the learner and needy learner?
  • communities, networking, literacy
  • Community - Technology tends to stop at the connection level of school to school or class to class. We must go deeper into the meaning of community to expand into making authentic and relevant connections for kids as they work to solve challenges that their community may face. 
  • community, networking, student voice
  • Comunidad de aprendizaje a lo largo de la vida como la célula del desarrollo social del futuro, a la cual el ser humano ingresa desde el kinder garden y permanece para siempre bajo la idea de auto gestión de su aprendizaje; trabajo colaborativo; desarrollo humano; alto desempeño, innovación, creatividad y actualización permanente para la resolución de problemas en un contexto global incierto y complejo.
  • Creativity
  • creativity - always, always I find educators who are doing creative, innovative, amazing things with education in the classroom (f2f or online or blended)
  • Creativity - Digital citizenship and literacy - Global learning 
  • creativity - works better when you are free to pick up the topic, book, your own way to study, digital literacy - helps us to find really fast a book, text, lesson wich is perfect for our mood at the moment, self-directed learning - I feel is about what we really love to do, what is perfect for our capabilities, personal learning - I think each of us have a different way to study, learn, practice, and we have to make the learning process very personal, we are not same, blended learning - I feel the best is to try more and more ways to study to find your own best way to grow, online learning has to be with a real person, to feel a human being on the other side (we can elaborate), global learning - it sounds like we blend everyone in same soup.. we have to find ways to keep our personality, culture, education, indviduality : for example keeping regional accents in a language makes a more colorfull conversation. If we all have same accent.. will be boring. Like listening to same song all your life.
  • Creativity is a key element that I try to pursue in integration of technology. I try to push students towards higher order thinking. Self-directing learning is a principal element of project based learning. The learners are taught to take lead and own their projects.
  • Creativity,  learner development,  self-directed learning,  blended learning, online learning. All these are interlinked and if used appropriately can contribute to learner autonomy and initiative. 
  • creativity, blended learning (Two areas that I am trying yo get staff to work towards)
  • creativity, blended learning; global learning - at a metaphysical level, I would like a discussion about how we would never throw a child into a swimming pool without teaching the child to swim - but we are prepared to throw the same child into google! Or into the internet.
  • Creativity, learner agency, personal learning, student voice. 
  • Creativity, Networking and Personal Learning.
  • Creativity, professional development, blended learning, online learning
  • creativity, professional development, digital literacy
  • creativity, professional development, digital literacy, learner agency,  All of the terms/phrases are of importance.  Technology encourages independent investigations.  Creative results can soon follow. The world is at your fingertips and with filters in place, information once  a distance wish becomes an instant part of our information file.  We learn how to navigate information by navigating the world of technology.
  • creativity, professional development, networking, digital literacy, 
  • Creativity: Creating an interesting storytorial for a boring dry subject would be a boon for any learner, where he or she can directly connect the scenes with their own real life situations.  Self directed learning: Presenting bite-sized content with effective visuals and videos along with relevant instructions for user is a good step towards self directed learning. 
  • Critical thinking, creativity, autonomy, socialization, personal development
  • digital citizenship
  • digital citizenship
  • Digital citizenship and digital literacy, for sure! That's our role in the public library--to help people secure the skills and information they need to fully participate in society.
  • digital divide?
  • Digital literacy - we must do more to prepare our students or google will become their only means by which to research and we must stop that mind path.
  • digital literacy - we must teach/emphasis quality sources
  • Digital Literacy / Information Literacy is more close me. That is my research. 
  • Digital Literacy always stands out, as it pertains to every student in every situation. I think that often we, as educators, assume that our students have the background and skills to use the technology at their fingertips in an appropriate way. In reality, though, they need much more support and guidance than we acknowledge.
  • Digital literacy and self-directed learning (or personal learning) are pivotal skill outcomes for online courses.  Today, some researchers also include "soft skills," as critical to technology use in education.  Examples might include attributes such as patience, "stick-to-it-ness" (ability to finish a project), teamwork, etc.
  • digital literacy is incredibly important in the school library world. It is the route to breaking down the barriers between teachers and school librarians. 
  • digital literacy-- amazing how little time is spent in school on how  to tap the web for learning and to become critical consumers
  • digital literacy, blended learning, self-directed learning
  • digital literacy, creativity, personal learning
  • Digital literacy, online learning.
  • digital literacy. self-directed learning. online learning. professional development. 
  • E–CONTENT E-Content promotes the problem–solving and critical thinking that are integral to student’s success in the global economy. The resources also help students acquire necessary skills for personal and professional fulfillment as adults. E-Content creates open source digital content in Indian languages through translation and new writing,mainly on topics of relevance to education at all levels. Education institutions and scholars have now recognized the value of E–Content and have realized that throughsuch techniques, the volume of a body of knowledge doubles. OBJECTIVES The Objective of E-Content is to: ● Promote interactive learning experience. ● Enable students to access quality content material. ● Supplement the conventional system of training and education. ● Promote anytime, anywhere learning. ● Reduce learning time and increase knowledge retention rates. Learning through computers and the Internet combines learning “about them” with learning “with them”. It involves learning the technology skills “just – in – time” or when the learner needs to learn them as he or she engages in a curriculum–related activity.
  • Equity - professional development - blended learning 
  • equity - technology provides access and opportunities for education where time and space might constrain those opportunities
  • Equity - this is still an issue. Some of my students are not connected at home( we are a 1-1 school)
    Creativity - students need to use technology to be more creative.
    Networking - students need to see the power of networking with others locally and globally.
    Global Learning - students need to connect with others from around the worls.
  • equity -- but I think about that from a civil rights perspective.  There are other ways to look at equity.   Blended learning, online learning and global learning -- all jargon without clear definitions -- back to our early use of hybrid education.  The problem is that there are many options, and most folks don't realize/acknowledge that so talk about online/hybrid/blended/flipped classroom/etc as a unity (one thing) but it's not. 
  • Equity and creativity are two of the bigger topics for me. I like to give students a framework and allow them to be creative. I also believe that we need to make sure ALL students have access to learning outside of school. We are currently working on solutions to make wifi accessible to all of our students, but it is a difficult process. 
  • Equity and Digital Citizenship - the kids who need Digital Citizenship skills the most often are the ones using edtech for remediation, drill and kill or passively. We need to fix that. 
  • equity for all students is important
  • Equity for low income families having access to tech outside of school (not worried about internet because they have figured out how to work around that). Personal learning-with the emphasis on Common Core, we have taken away the ability to address student interests.
  • Equity-the ability for all children to have equal access to quality education
  • equity,  creativity, professional development, community, networking, digital citizenship, digital literacy, self-directed learning, personal learning, student voice, blended learning, mobile learning, online learning, and global learning.
  • equity, creativity, digital literacy, self-directed learning, personal learning, blended learning, online learning, global learning
  • equity, creativity, professional development, community, networking, digital citizenship, digital literacy, self-directed learning, personal learning, student voice, mobile learning, and global learning
  • Equity, learner agency, community, blended learning, global learning - they blend together to create access, support, and opportunity
  • Equity, Mobile learning, Online Learning
  • equity, networking, personal learning, global learning
  • EQUITY. I see at CUE primarily wealthier districts, very few people of color, very few heavily urban districts. All the innovative experimental maker-robot-coding stuff does not seem to exist in lower SES districts. DIGITAL LITERACY. So important, love the Common Sense Media resources. Should be required from 4th on up, from understanding how to tell Fake News to knowing what copyright is and how to follow the law. Of course social media issues as well
  • equity/networking/self-directed learning/mobile learning/global learning
  • Establishing frames of reference and definitions for people is important.
  • For me they are all part of technology in education, albeit at varying levels of importance and usefulness depending on students.
  • Global education is possible by technology at 10 % of the cost today to reach 7.5 billion people of the World .
  • global learning - having the skills, attitudes and practices to be able to learn with others at a distance synchronously and asynchronously.
  • global learning because it is such a possibility now
  • Global learning goes hand in hand with co-learning and as a result it makes path for digital and global citizenship
  • Global learning involves an inclusiveness, not an exclusion, in education. 
  • Global learning, equity, digital citizenship, self-directed learning, and blended learning are all motivators for me when I think about technology in education.  
  • global learning, imagine everyone having one syllabus to learn from, irregardless of where they are on the planet
  • global learning, long-distance learning, challenge yourself; change the world   
  • Global Learning: I am passionate about connecting students virtually with their peers around the globe to share their stories AND to learn together via project-based learning.
  • Growing up, I had a saying: "I believe education is the most important thing to me, but I'm not about to let school interfere with that."  I flunked high school and had to take a 5th year, and then barely completed that one.  But I was making 32k a year as a teenager with no degree, because I already understood where I was headed.  I understood what parts of school would help me achieve what I needed.  The rest I ignored.  its almost 2 decades later, and I still agree with my decisions at the time.  I think too many people are stuck universalizing their education in a way that only works for some of the students anyway.  That most schools lack the ability to teach people how to thrive.  Don't get me wrong.  Education is one of the most important things, and some schools do it well, but I believe a school's ultimate goal should be teaching how to figure out your own path, motivating you to do it, and providing the resources to aid to progress.  :)  
  • hmm, where have I heard these bfore! All of them Tech is unique in that it is it's own area, but it also cuts across everything else. I think this is often where we get into sticky areas about tech being ""the tool"" vs the object of discussion. We need both.
  • Hmmm ...they all seem to touch on the controversy about best ways to use technology in schools. I would want to pursue online and mobile learning further and learn more about what's happening in other paces besides universities and the U.S.
  • honestly -- all have value and importance
  • How about tackling the role of the family in K-12 learning with technology? The impact of iPads and laptops goes far beyond the school, but often families are unprepared to support their children when it comes to the complexities of technology. (Teachers are often unprepared too, but that's a different topic.)
  • I always like to be clear on the issue of technology. The danger behind everyone talking about technology and forget basic learning issues like pedagogy,teacher engagement and other foundation issues around learning can he harmful to the educational sector; So i always like to create that balance and always emphasize that technology is not the objective it is only a vehicle for implementing our educational thoughts.
  • I am concerned that many adults do not know about the term "digital citizenship"  and thus do not know how to teach their kids about it. Digital citizenship is an integral part of a learning that parents may not know exists. Educators must teach students AND their parents about this concept and emphasize to parents how important this value is to their children's academic success. 
  • I am happy to elaborate the following: Equity: 'Education for All' has to be reached. Students in less advantaged areas should not be kept out of education facilities based on technology and new advancements in learning methods. Technology enhanced education need to be inclusive. Creativity: The tools and resources that are helpful for education with enhanced learning should be created by the practitioners, that is the classroom teachers. Technology experts and tool developers focus on the robustness of the technicalities that may not be very useful in classroom teaching. Moreover, each classroom is unique by its characteristics which is understood and can be properly handled by the teacher. Professional Development: Teachers' quality development is the first priority to ensure enhancement in learning. Professional development must not be considered as just a feather on the teacher's hat that helps get promotions and move forward through career in education. Training should designed with practical classroom activities and implementation of new ideas or improved methods of teaching. Teachers' training has to be in-house. Online Learning: As the necessities of skills for the societies are changing everyday. Academic institutions are struggling to design and introduce new appropriate courses to offer to their students. Online learning could be a solution so that learners can learn as they wish from wherever and whenever suitable. 
  • I believe that the technology we provide our students allows the creativity to show in student projects.  I believe it allows students to be self-directed.  It allows students to collaborate with others not only in their school, but in the community and depending, globally.  It opens the world to our learners in so many ways.
  • I don't have time to think through a good response at the moment. Sorry!
  • I don't know how to answer this question
  • I feel like learner agency and self-directed learning is the end game for the education system - to create learners that are able to learn independently and solve problems. Though creativity, digital literacy, global learning and student voice contribute to this objective they certainly aren't the only parts of the ultimate learner outcome. The path we take to get to this outcome I feel needs to be through online learning, blended learning, mobile learning and networking - those are the methods teachers and learners must embrace and master for the current state of the world. The fuel to drive the changes needed in traditional classrooms to make these methods possible would have to be professional development and teacher community - ultimately, like any career, educators are responsible for learning new approaches and sharing with colleagues in order to be successful as a group. 
  • I have done LOTS of online learning to get to where I am, Many of the other phases are good and I have looked into them.  Privacy is a big one. I work in a low social economic area and access to technology is a big problem. I would like to do more about digital literacy, digital citizenship, but haven't figured out how.
  • I have heard that the term professional learning has replaced "professional development". It does sound like a more modern way of understanding that we are both educators and lifelong learners, maybe in part, due to the positive impact of technological devices and easier access to digital information.
  • I like the flexibility and power of blended learning and have used it, on both sides.
  • I like the idea of exploring digital citizenship, equity and inclusion.
  • I love "creativity", "digital citizenship", "student voice" and I like the others too.
  • I love a framework in wich MOOC and U process blend for best learning solution
  • I love self-directed learning but fear that social and political focus on lock-step development and measurement seriously undermines any serious commitment in this area, which I think is a shame. Considerable restructuring of our institutions would be necessary to support self-directed learning effectively, especially for those students with the greatest need for support.
  • I love the idea of technology for providing professional development, such as Chrome Warrior, for example. 
  • I mean, many of them.....certainly learner agency and access, as well as global learning and creativity from the student perspective.  I think the professional development piece ties into that as well because in general I think we have a bit of a capacity gap and there will always be tension between what opportunities and experiences we as educators offer students and the limitations of our own exposure.  The responsibility piece just because I think we struggle with where that line is between wanting to open the world up to kids but then protect them from it....not sure that we have found a perfect marriage as of yet. 
  • I think my previous answers should suffice here as well
  • I think online learning is a fabulous tool to enhance education and empower ourselves with skills needed to promote the library and maintain relevance. 
  • I think technology is the future in education. People have easy access to information in the comfort of their homes, on the way, in the car, on the bus, at the club etc. All they need is motivation to learn.
  • I would add sustainability to this list. How are we going to deal with e-waste? How can we develop technology that does not negatively impact the environment. Devices use lots of energy to run and lots of resources to make. I do not want my child using the computer in elementary school for a variety of reasons including privacy, lower attention span, exposure to things on the internet, laziness etc. Technology is  a not a panacea. 
  • In my opinion, technology can help in all areas, so in education. Everything is to know how to use it.
  • In our school, almost all of these are important components to a broad and deep learning environment for our students. Each domain within our school own part or all of these phrases, whether it is our IT department who worries about equity and privacy, or it is our administration concerned about community and professional development, or are many levels of school community that look at the use of tools to build out everything from student agency to mobile and online learning, these all fit within our thinking.
  • Inclusive education, creativity, networking, digital citizenship. 
  • information literacy
  • It's hard to give you a short answer, but all of the above items should be carefully applied to both teachers and students.
  • John Dewey said"  If we teach our students the way we were taught, we rob them of their tomorrow1" and in the word of Einstein "I don't teach my pupil, I just attempt to create an environment in which they can learn".
  • La ciudadanía digital, el aprendizaje en línea y el aprendizaje global son instrumentos muy necesarios que le dan dinámica al papel de la tecnología en la educación y el desarrollo de su pensamiento crítico.
  • learner agency
  • learner agency (how can we achieve a greater level), creativity (how can we move beyond PPT), PD (I love leading and learning in webinars), digital citizenship (how can we build it) 
  • "Learner agency and how to promote it is one of the most important aspects of effective learning and technology potentially makes everyone the architect of their own learning. This links to self-directed learning.
  • Professional development has been one of the main benefits to me of technology.
  • Blended learning is obviously not possible without technology. It greatly widens the target group of potential beneficiaries but I also see that there is a great deal of unused potential to make blended learning even more effective with existing technology.
  • Global learning is potentially such a force for good and we need that more than ever. There is a danger of English domination in this because of language differences but I expect this is an area where technology has yet to make huge strides and that we will soon be able to talk to 98% of the world with the support of Google Translate and its ilk. I already communicate with some Kurdish refugees in Arabic only through Google Translate because their English is almost non-existent and they have not yet learned enough Danish for us to use that.
  • In an era of post-truth and alternative facts, being able to walk in the online sphere without being misled is obviously a critical skill which needs to be as basic as the 3 Rs."
  • learner agency is a must,  creativity,  community real life engagement.  student voice and global connections
  • "Learner agency means students advocate for what they want to learn, and how they want to learn it, and the adults trust the students to design his or her own learning, with or without technology.
  • Professional development should be relevant and personalized, and I think technology helps that happen."
  • learner agency, creativity, global citizenship
  • learner agency, creativity, self-directed learning
  • learner agency, creativity, student voice,
  • Learner agency, PD, self-directed learning, global learning
  • learner agency, personal learning, and self-directed learning because the learner should always be the focus, creativity and student voice because I really want to help students express themselves not produce cookie cutter responses
  • learner agency, professional development, community, networking, self-directed learning, personal learning, mobile learning, online learning, and global learning
  • learner agency, professional development, digital literacy, self-directed learning, blended learning, mobile learning.
  • Learner agency, self-directed learning, and student voice are all key phrases that resonate with me. I also do a type of blended learning with game-based learning/ mastery learning.
  • learner agency, student voice, community
  • Learner agency: strictly linked to learner autonomy, in my opinion. Non-autonomous learners cannot be successful learning agents. Professional development: not many institutions see the importance of Continuous Professional Development (CPD) on technology for teaching. Technology is often used as a way to cut costs and labour. Digital literacy: There is a dire need for educators and learners to become aware of what being digitally literate really entails, starting from being able to recognise 'real news' to being aware of copyright and so on and so forth.
  • LEARNER AGENCY!!!!!  I believe the most important differentiator in employees is those who have agency vs those who don't. (Of course basic skills are just table stakes.) We are currently preparing kids to be compliant, which makes them unsuitable to succeed in a global workforce.  It is incumbent on us to offer experiences and environments that support the development of agency.
  • Many of them do - i teach fifth grade - digital citizenship, community stand out.  And for me personally, PD is of the utmost importance.
  • MIT's course Learning Creative Learning say this is the pattern for Creative  Learning.  It is a spiral mandala of Mitch Resnick's as I recall it is Create, Share, Think-Create. To me you let kids make it , then they share their ideas with their peers or a community, they get new ideas and see what works, it gets knocked down at some point and they build it again. This process of creative learning is not just in the classroom but can be done anywhere and of course our brains are the source and I believe in helping kids learn and value  from mistakes and failed attempts. Learning happens when we get it wrong too.
  • Mobile leaning for educators and trainee
  • mobile learning networkin, online learning, and global learning
  • mobile learning,  Profound learning
  • Most of the phrases related to effective learning using latest technology.
  • most of them yes and can be reduced to student empowerment to design and run their own learning route
  • Most of these items are related to my work 
  • Networking skills are essential so that we can learn from a supportive group. Professional development can be organic, students/teachers can take control of what, when and how they would like to learn. This means that learning can be self directed. It enables not only a student voice but also a teacher voice so that learning is not fully directed from above but can be a personal choice. Mobile learning will increase in importance and is indeed the education of the future. Having a device in one's hands enables us to learn right now, or immediately when the need arises. Digital citizenship is an important skill to be taught and learnt along the way in all of this. Online learning is enabled and enriched with the use of technology and allows people to learn anywhere and anytime from local, distant or global providers. Global education is greatly enhanced with technology, allowing us to learn about the world, with and from the world. This is an exciting enabler of technology. We can share what it is like where we live and learn with anyone across the globe who has access to technology. We hear, we see and we can feel what it is like in other countries and cultures. We can interact, ask questions and satisfy our curiousity about other world wide places and spaces (something that is difficult to do with traditional text books). We are exposed to different ideas, ideologies, religions, languages and cultures  in real time with video conferencing or other global projects. We can develop an understanding and empathyfor others that may reduce racism, help solve many global problems and enable us work collaboratively using worldwide talents, experiences, innovation and ideas.

  • of course, each of these labels represent an issue inherent in the transitions we are experiencing.
  • Our goal should be social and adaptive learning. Privacy and data protection are mandatory prerequisites if you want to enter the German school system.
  • PD is crucial. If teachers are scared or unsure of the technology they will not properly incorporate within their classrooms. Mobile learning, personal learning and digital literacy are also important to understand and incorporate within (and out of) classrooms because that appears to be the future these kids will be living in. 
  • PD is very important! Self directed learner is key for expanding your own tech as well as informing others 
  • personal and self-directed learning could be a trigger for me because education is for helping students to become what they can potentially do with a nurturing school environment and culture.
  • Personal learning
  • personal learning - tech ed can be geared to the diverse learners that are in a classroom; online learning - teaching science (the subject I teach) can be greatly enhanced with technology since not everything in science can be touched, hands-on experimented with, and/or seen; global learning - technology has to capability to breakdown the physical borders and limitations that exist around the world
  • Personal learning has been my soapbox for quite some time now.  For me, this is a no brainer and if you look at all the other phrases up there, each one feeds into this one concept in some way.  
  • personal learning, digital citizenship, digital literacy, blended learning
  • personal learning...you can learn probably anything with the help of technology
  • Personalizing learning has some very interesting connotations in my opinion. The question underneath is: Are there areas where all students need to learn the same things?  Or, should the responsibility of the collective be to provide skills, i.e.: reading , writing, speaking, etc.
  • Possibilities and opportunities.  Each of these words links so well to the words  possibilities and opportunities.  These are only limited either by the limitations we place on them, or our imaginations (or if the wifi drops off!!)
  • privacy (not being used by marketers to sell more product); equity (money does buy more access to the Web); creativity (should come from the user); community (can build or destroy community); digital citizenship (great i think. what is it?); student voice (yes, should be developed and then will be powerful); global learning (yes, and what does it mean,,, to whom?)
  • privacy and equity - basic rights of all learners online or not, learner agency - will need to look that phrase up...haven't heard it before
    creativity, community, networking - part of learning online and off
    pro dev, personal learning, self-directed learning, mobile learning, online learning, and global learning - for me seem like synonyms though I know they are not entirely.
    digital citizenship and digital learning - these grab me because I think these are places institutions think our students are more developed than they are...it also makes me think ""digital divide""...not everyone is ready or able or prepared to go online
    student voice - we are still in a place where the classroom is a one-way conversation/lecture layout sometimes...those most comfortable with online classwork seem to be the ones that want to have a voice or dialogue in their own learning.
  • Privacy and equity are concerns.  I am in public education and these are very relevant.  The other phrases tie directly to taking technology beyond a mere paper and pencil replacement
  • Privacy and equity I think need to be a part of every educational conversation.  If we cannot find a way to handle these topics the future will be diminished in how we provide resources and support students.
  • Privacy and equity of paramount importance given incoming federal administration. As a new teacher, learning how to encourage student voice is important.
  • Privacy and the role of technology in education can get tricky. As educators we must be mindful and have open conversations with our students about how and why we are asking them to use technology. In many cases we require our students to create accounts for technology tools and while we are teaching them new skills we must also teach them how to protect their privacy and manage their digital footprint of the resources they are using after they have completed that course or project that required them to use and new tech tool. 
  • Privacy is a farce in today's Internet. Facebook, Google, Microsoft - they all know intimate details of their users. 
  • privacy is a must, teaching students online safety and digital citizenship is difficult, especially finding non sound-based resources that are Deaf friendly
  • Privacy is huge.  I am not sure why education technology providers feel it is okay to collect personal information as a prerequisite in using their digital learning materials (no choice, either give us your details or you can't proceed).  What they do with this information is not to be asked.  Privacy is a major concern. The role of technology in learning is secretive, corporate and enforced, and is given to third parties who are corporate and usually not even in Australia. If the collection of personal and private information, and enforced responses, through the use of technology was abolished, then there would be an honest and creative interaction with technology, more equity, open networking and the willingness to engage in a more self-directed manner with an authentic student voice and global networking. As it is now --- it is dull, not creative, intrusive, dumbed down and unsettling. It is not learning so much as compliance.
  • Privacy is my big thing with computers. Privacy can also be called safety in my mind if you log on to your school website to see what assignments you have then that needs to be kept with you and the school. In our school system we do everything online, so even grading. We have to be really careful on what we do with privacy. Every computer that just rolled out has a fingerprint reader for absolute security and I think that is best.
  • Privacy is of the upmost concern for my students and myself. I always want to keep my students safe and free to learn. Technology is a great tool to show our own creativity and view others' creativity. We are able to use a plethora of apps, websites, and other resources to create just about anything. We now have 3-D printing!! Amazing! Technology allows educators to take control of their professional development and networking. I am able to research and learn in my own time and space. I love how technology allows anyone to have access to self-directed learning, personal learning, mobile, online, and global learning. Educators and students alike can network with others from anywhere in the world. 
  • Privacy online is an issue that needs to be addressed and explained to students to avoid harassment. Personal learning to me is more a lifelong education option allowed by technology, a venue that opens endless possibilities to a digital learner to stay educated, to keep critical thinking and to network in one's field.
  • privacy, equity, creativity, community, digital literacy, global learning
  • privacy, networking, digital citizenship, digital literacy, self-directed learning, global learning
  • Privacy:  What is it becoming and what is it not telling us?   Digital Citizenship:  Who or how should this be taught?     Professional Development:  With so  much time being dedicated to the classroom, how do we get this done?
  • PRIVACY: Our school is blaring students and teacher images everywhere. No discretion (international school)-I do not like this. CREATIVITY: I find the word being misused. I link it to artistic activity. Design with hands. Not so tech-connected as so many people seem to do. 3D printer- great that a student can design a boat. But this is not creative. This is not creating.  But absolutely excellent skill to learn, yes.   All the words above matter to me. Especially COMMUNITY and DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP.  But I cannot write more now. Sorry.
  • Professional development
  • professional development
  • professional development and blended Learning 
  • Professional development can be achieved in online communities that foster creativity self-directed learning but also collaborative work. As A result, teachers could be enthusiastic toward new approaches to teaching, taking into account the students’ voice and promoting personal learning using mobile devises and online learning materials.
  • Professional development needs to be acknowledged as as necessary and something for which teachers should be paid.
  • professional development, community, networking - all benefits technology can facilitate for educators and people in other professions
    digital citizenship, digital literacy, self-directed learning - all important areas that many teachers want to know more about
    blended learning, mobile learning, online learning - relatively new pedagogies that are changing the landscape of education
  • Professional development, digital citizenship, blended learning. 
  • Professional Development: I am a strong advocate of continuous teacher professional development using MOOCs and other tech affordances. Personal Learning: I have benefited with the power of technology to learn so many things that are not even available anywhere near my local library. I am challenging the younger generation to adopt that  mindset.
  • professional learning and digital citizenship
  • role of technology in education: online learning
  • self directed learning  "Any real education is self education"
  • Self directed learning (customized approach, following ones passions)
  • self directed learning is my personal use of TEchnology in my learning.
  • Self directed learning to begin with ,technology ushers in global and intercultural learning
  • Self directed personal learning using technology results in deeper learning
  • self-directed learning and creativity are very important for future problem solvers
  • Self-directed learning seems very important to me in the digital age, but not a given ability of all learners and thus something we need to develop together with students
  • self-directed learning, blended learning, global digital citizenship, empathy and mindfulness  
  • self-directed learning, it can support
  • Self-directed learning, personal learning.  With technology, students can be more flexible in their studies.
  • self-directed learning,every phrase used above,technology has brought community,networking,closer,with technonolgy,we can gain access to information online learning from the comfort of our home.
  • So many of them do,  however creativity is the one that inspires me the most.  Despite the rapid growth of technology it is not stifling creativity, especially with the introduction of maker spaces, coding, videos and so on.Creativity is still alive, it has just expanded to include technology for the technologically minded people. 
  • So many of these phrases relate directly to librarians and the role we play in education.
  • some of them
  • Some of these are outdated.  I think what you are trying to do is great, but it is too large.  Too much text.  You need more specific with less text and more audio and video.  The amount of text is overwhelming when reading and participating in some past conferences.  You need a new, technologically enhanced format/online venue.
  • Sorry, I ran out of time and need to go!
  • student voice - We have standards but are we teaching students the way they want to learn? Are we providing relevancy in the learning process? 
  • Student voice -- or maybe even more -- student choice resonates with me.  Technology has given students so many more options of how to learn and how to share what they know with the world.
  • Student voice, blended learning, community
  • Students know how to consume information and not always well.  We need to teach them how to consume and create with technology. 
  • "Technology allows to individualize the learning process by allowing students to learn at their pace, leaving to a teacher the supervisory role.
  • Self-directed learning is important, but that does not exclude the role of a teacher. Without supervision self-directed learning can be successful only with mature students."
  • Technology allows us to enhance and scale whatever we please. We must use it to enable learning and do good rather than cause distraction. 
  • Technology enhances these making them possible and learner centered. It enables students to be digital  citizens with 21st century skills.
  • Technology has and continues to empower people globally by acquiring a diverse set of knowledge and skills . It has become a unifying factor and helps in interprofessional collaboration and expanding our vision .
  • Technology helps in self-directed learning because students can learn at their own pace. I also like it for myself so that I can learn new thing when I have time and using my own pace. I also like mobile learning, I always carry with me my iPad and when i have to wait somewhere for something I take my iPad and read my professional literature so I do not waste my time. Same may apply for students.
  • Technology impacts the entire eco-system and all of these "sub-systems".  The process of leanring is aided by technology- technology is only useful when it aids the process of leanring or teaching not for its own sake.
  • Technology in education is absolutely essential to our students learning how to navigate the world in which they live and will work. Technology allows us to connect and take learning where it has never been able to go before, but is absolutely essential that we strike an appropriate balance. Fear can become the driver when we consider important issues such as privacy and online safety. The temptation is to lock everything up and throw away the key. Danger lurks around every corner. If we can't control 100% we want to remove the tool or the access, and leave our children inside a walled garden.  This kind of artificial environment may be safe, but it is  limiting our students' ability to learn --while they have teachers as guides - how to appropriately navigate and make choices in an online world, communicate, connect, and share - which they will do anyway, with our without us.  
  • Technology's impact and influence on school communities around the world varies significantly.  Teaching and practicing responsible technology and using this tool for good are at the forefront for me. 
  • The answer is to create an entirely new System of Education, facilitated by technology but not dictated by technology.  Almost all of today's "Ed-Tech" attempts are add-ons to a centuries old system.  Makes no sense.
  • The phrases that resonate with me describe things that build stronger problem-solving skills, promote creativity, and foster community. 
  • The phrases that stand out the most to me are digital citizenship, digital learning, student voice, and blended learning. Digital citizenship is necessary for our learners to understand the role they play in an online community and that the choices made have good and bad consequences. Digital literacy is important because of the need to understand what is going on around us to make sound decisions. Student voice is needed in any learning environment provided to offer students the opportunity to thrive in a setting they feel strong in and to learn new skills to challenge and grow as learners. Blended learning is the opportunity all teachers have to present material to students in a variety of formats to extend learning beyond the four walls of a traditional classroom.
  • The role of technology in education should be used to help build a sense of community and empathy globally.  Students should have opportunities to learn more about their world in order to be kind, respectful and responsible custodians of it in their future.
  • The role of technology in US teacher training programs has never been more critical, and is deeply challenged. Very, very few of those who are taking the lead in training new teachers have expertise in the role of technology in the learning process. As a result, few new teachers enter schools highly capable or highly comfortable with educational technology. We must address this if we are to genuinely seek to think about Ed Tech 2.0
  • The UK curriculum changes to ICT & Computer Science did not address creativity. The timetable reduction of Arts subjects at UK high schools combined with the new Computer Science curriculum will impact young people's skills, understanding and entry to Digital & Creative industries.
  • Themes to explore: learner agency (or lack thereof), digital literacy, blended learning, self-directed learning. Each of these concepts involves some kind of prerequisite that most first year students do not possess. A well designed library course for incoming first year students would address it, followed by a library course for second year students who are just getting into more involved assignments. Third and forth year courses are optional, depending on the discipline and faculty expectation. 
  • These are the phrases that prompt a response from me: blended learning, blended learning,  global learning  Most important I am concern with all students having (equity) equal access to technology and being able to let their (student voice) be heard.  With that, I feel (digital citizenship) must be taught so that students and adults use technology respectfully to themselves and toward others.  So in order for all this to happen, teachers must receive quality (professional development) in implementing technology effectively.  With well trained teachers you will find quality (blending learning) environments that will also take students beyond the four walls of school and incoroporate (global learning).
  • They all do, but cost is always a factor.  Colleges plan in cycles and I can't buy a new tool without budgeting it.
  • They all do.  It's too much to write here, now.
  • They all do. I probably don't think about all of them at once while enrolling for a course. Except privacy does stick out. What happens to all this information I fill in about myself into all these websites etc. 
  • They all have a concern within any learning environment; however, at CHS, we try to challenge the learner without confusion or overwhelming tasks. We always want out students to exhibit digital responsibility and accountability when using technology. Blended learning and online learning are challenges for teachers because not every student has access to the internet or a service device. Global learning is difficult if there aren't supports in place to facilitate an exchange, in Spanish. 
  • They all prompt thoughts but I think those related to personalized learning ring the loudest.
  • They all resonate in the domain of technology integration for learning. Equity and self-directed learning both suggest greater accessibility to opportunities to learn.
  • They all resonate with me. I am beginning a class this month with Harvard's Project Zero on Maker-Centered Learning. I have recently read one of the books that comes from Project Zero titled Creating Cultures of Thinking. I am intrigued by the concept of learning agency and want to learn more about the ways that my teaching can foster greater independence and agency on the part of students.
  • They're all great - but it's the mindset of the educator that needs to shift. All of the above can be applied badly! Being a connected educator requires new capabilities and an openness to possibilities that may not be planned into a structured course environment or context!
  • Things like  learner agency, personal learning, professional development, self-directed learning, are the ones that prompt the greatest response from me, because they are the things I most wish for from any new staff member. I think we are the most knowledgable of the areas we need to focus on in our learning, and people who by their nature have a self-desire to learn, are the most valuable to an organisation, because you can trust that even if they start one step behind other individuals, they will take the initiative not only to catch up, but to want to improve themselves even more. People who need to be 'told' what to learn and when to learn are far more difficult to work with from a managerial perspective.
  • To me, the biggest thing that technology has done with respect to education is to allow everyone in the world to become more self-directed learners who can learn - and enjoy learning - anytime and anywhere (not just in school) about anything.
  • Too broad a question to answer. 
  • Virtually all of my continuing ed and professional development in the last 5 years has been by distance or online instruction. Having a schedule, deadlines, and a minimum grade for completion were most effective in motivating me to finish the courses. 
  • visual literacy because of dual coding theory
  • Well, clearly these are the areas in which technology excels. It's because of technology that we even have mobile learning, online learning and global learning and these have had a profound impact on increasing educational equity globally. Technology can be harmful in some ways, for example, when it overwhelms students and educators, but when wielded by knowledgeable guides, it transforms learning.  We just need to remember that privacy, creativity, professional development, personal learning, student voice all can be addressed without modern technologies that may be unaffordable or unuseable due to lack of connectivity.  Technology is the tool; passionate educators are the key.
  • Wow! What a summary. I am copying it to my computer for future use.
  • yes
  • yes - blended learning
  • Yes - every single one of them, they are topics I teach.
  • Yes - technology provides a range of both opportunities and challenges in all of these areas.
  • YES , I believe all the terms  are basically befitting to technology.  
  • Yes almost all. I am currently researching teachers as change agents in South African context 
  • Yes most of these terms prompt me about technology playing a great role.
  • Yes of course, the information literacy, Referencing and Formatting
  • Yes several of them resonate with me. E.g. Professional development, networking, self directed learning, personalised learning and global learning. My simple understanding and even simpler skills in technology has excited my imagination when I have observed first hand the impact of what we have managed to achieve within a relatively short period. The IBERR Global Village School (GVS) children have grown in self confidence, engaged in activity based learning (as opposed to rote learning) improved their English language proficiency and shown remarkable progress in every aspect of their character building and self esteem. My wife and I have gone to the village for around two or three months at a time each year and have maintained our contact through technology - Facebook, WhatsApp and sometimes Skype.  
  • Yes some are over used, others mean many different things to different people. We need to help students be successful not just know their deficits.
  • Yes the technology in education remains of the strong weapon to solve many problem in the issue of education. Technology must be used at school everyhere in the world because that could contibute to the decreasing of the illiteracy by providing online learning because the learning is visual and virtual. If today the Africa continent remains the last continent in terms of development, it is because there is a great lack of the technology development. technology is the part of the life of every citizen of the world in all isue of the life.
  • Yes, all of these phrases have a place in technology and education. The natural tension between promoting student agency and protecting student privacy, encouraging personalization of learning while advocating for global learning and collaboration, all while ensuring teachers and students understand their rights and responsibilities of being digital citizens. I believe that by celebrating these tensions and helping educators be reflective about when to lean towards privacy and when to amplify student voices, we build a strong educational foundation.
  • Yes, all of these!
  • Yes, all strategies of big picture.
  • Yes, but I'm doing his in my phone so I'd be here all day.
  • Yes, especially, Creativity, online learning and mobile learning are pivotal instruments that enable easy, convenient and successful learning because of their handy nature. 
  • Yes, I'm prompted to provide clearer expectations for technology use to faculty.
  • Yes, yes, yes.....
  • Yes; its more on privacy, self-directed learning or user prompts on some catches on the sites you use (which goes to security issues again). But I have interfaced with all the above
  • yes.
  • Yes.  All the phrases have meaning.  
  • Yes.  They are all relevant to the role of technology in education.
  • Yes. All of the phrases are examples of what's right with technology. 
  • Yes. Each response could be a book. :-)
  • Yes. I have come across all the phrases and they emphasize the need for integrating  technology at every stage of teaching and learning process. In the case of teachers, technology helps them to develop their professional skills like authoring task based materials, using latest technological devices for teaching and enhance students'performance even beyond the classroom. With regard to Learning, technology promotes student participation within and beyond the classroom. In the case of using language skills, he is able to develop proficiency with the support of technological devices.  
  • You can group them all under Professional Development for both teachers and their students.
