Alan November
Alan November was one of the first major educators to embrace modern web technologies (commonly referred to as Web 2.0) in elementary, middle and high schools. He was one of the initial five Christa McAuliffe Educators. He co-founded the Institute for Education Leadership and Technology at Stanford University. He is the author of Empowering Students with Technology and Web Literacy for Educators .
Alan November quotes:
- "Technology has become an indispensable tool in the education of today’s students."
- "We need to emphasize the necessity of students learning with others around the world and stress that 3 skills are needed to teach our children.
- "We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."
- "The past 25 years in technology have been the warm-up act. What we are now entering is the MAIN EVENT which is the era in which technology will truly transform every aspect of business, government, education and society of life."
Alan November's 3 Main Points
1. We need to teach our students to deal with massive amounts of information. (Information Literacy)
2. We need to teach our student global communication, starting with Kindergarten. (Communication)
3. We need to teach our students to be self-directed and understand how to organize more and more of their own learning. (Motivation)
