Tech Chick Tips
This is a podcast by the tech chicks Ana and Helen. They share a list of things CIO’s can learn from the game angry birds and how these things can also relate to teachers, students, administrators, and many others. They share first that the only way to defeat angry birds is to play the game. This is the same with technology. If we don’t engage in resent technology and allow people to use it in the context of actual work, no one will learn its limitations, its risks, or the opportunities it presents. Ana Helen stress that the more you keep trying and failing, the more you learn. Learning about technology takes baby steps. In angry birds there is more than one way to win. A tip for technology is that you can never do the same thing exactly the same way. You can have a perfect class with technology but the next class might not do it the same way. If you aren’t doing well in the angry birds game, it is usually smart to just start the level over. Same thing with technology in the classroom -if you are trying and the students aren’t getting it or its not going well, its ok to start over or try a different way. Another good tip Ana and Helen gave is that people succeed best when their unique talents are recognized (this is why there are different angry birds in the game). Students can help each other when they have different talents with technology. Overall the tech chicks give some really good tips and advice for using technology in the classroom. You should check it out!
