This semester we considered, researched and responded to educational technology issues: textbooks or laptops, elements of constructive learning lessons, artificial intelligence in education, interpretation of copyright laws. For each topic we read a scenario and then needed to choose a side, take a stand and write a coherent supporting statement substantiated by research. Now it is time for us to write our own itec scenarios.
I believe a good scenario should be:
Open-ended
Have a variety of possible solutions without one being clearly better than another.
Be on a topic that can engage students
Have information about it available
Have real-life application
With that in mind, I have decided to create a role playing scenario in which a middle school technology advisory committee must choose whether to purchase a COW (laptop computers on wheels) or inter-active white boards for the 6th grade.
This has prepared us for the next step to go out and live our own scenarios in the real world of educational technology. I’m ready!
