Lucy Gray Goes “Beyond Buzzwords”

If you work with students and teachers, take a few minutes to browse this presentation from Lucy Gray.  She DOES cover most of the usual buzzwords of technology ed, but presents her ideas in a way that comes across as  refreshingly “human” and respectful of the challenges teachers and students are grappling with. 

She also shows a handful of examples that show some simple ways basic and free webtools have been put to use in non-flashy ways to support meaningful, authentic learning experiences.  The “generational” issues she raises (which go beyond “digital native” and “digital immigrant”) would make for interesting discussion with any mixed group of educational stakeholders.

It’s a short read, and quite worthwhile.
