We received a question from a listener about how American schools use educational technology. There is not a simple answer.

It depends on the subject and level of students, of course. But it also depends on the interest and training of the teachers, and the goals and budgets of the schools.

Schools are almost all connected to the Internet. But some have more technology, and use it more, than others. For example, some schools use computers for activities like video conferencing, to bring the world into the classroom.

And some classrooms are equipped with things like a Smart Board, a kind of interactive whiteboard. Interactive whiteboards are large displays for presentations.

They connect to a computer and can operate by touch. They can be used for documents or writing or to project video.

Some teachers are trying creative new ways to teach with devices like iPods and mobile phones.

But educators say the most important thing, as always, is the content.

Yet technology can have special importance in some cases.

Cosmobot is a therapy robot. It stands about half a meter tall and has a blue body and a friendly face with big eyes.

One child who works with it is six-year-old Kevin Fitzgerald. Kevin has developmental dyspraxia; he has difficulty moving his mouth and tongue.

He works with Carole Semango-Sprouse as he uses a set of buttons attached to a computer. He can make the silent robot move forward, backward or around in circles.

Kevin’s mother thinks the robot has had a calming influence, helping her son get along better with his friends.

Cosmobot was developed by AnthroTronix. Corinna Lathan started the company ten years ago to work with children with cerebral palsy, Down’s syndrome, autism and other developmental disabilities.

Children become friends with the robot, she says. That can have a big effect on their behavior, helping them work harder and longer in therapy sessions.

Corinna Lathan is currently working with a British company to develop other socially assistive robots.

She says they are still considered research tools in the United States. They are not used as much as in places like Britain and Japan. But she hopes to change that.

~~LYRICS~~

She work it girl, she work the pole
She break it down, she take it low
She fine as hell, she about the dough
She doing her thing out on the floor
Her money money, she makin’ makin’
Got the way she shakin’
Make you want to touch it, make you want to taste it
Have you lustin’ for her,
go crazy face it

She’s so much more than you’re used to
She know’s just how to move to seduce you
She gone do the right thing and touch the right spot
Dance in you’re lap till you’re ready to pop

She always ready, when you want it she want it
Like a nympho, the info
I show you where to meet her
On the late night, till daylight the club jumpin’
If you want a good time, she gone give you what you want

Baby It’s a new age,
You like my new craze
Let’s get together
Maybe we can start a new phase
The smokes got the club all hazy,
Spotlights don’t do you justice baby
Why don’t you come over here,
you got me saying

Aayooh
I’m tired of using technology,
Why don’t you sit down on top of me
Aayooh
I’m tired of using technology
I need you right in front– of me

In her fantasy, there’s plain to see
Just how it be, on me, backstrokin’,
Sweat soaking
All into my set sheets
When she ready to ride, I’m ready to roll
I’ll be in this till the club close
What should I do, on all fours
Now that that should be against the law
Different style, different move,
Damn I like the way you move
Girl you got me thinking about,
All the things I’d do to you
Let’s get it poppin’ shorty
We can switch positions
From the couch to the counters in my kitchen

Baby It’s a new age,
You like my new craze
Let’s get together
Maybe we can start a new phase
The smokes got the club all hazy,
Spotlights don’t do you justice baby
Why don’t you come over here, you got me saying

Aayooh
I’m tired of using technology,
Why don’t you sit down on top of me
Aayooh
I’m tired of using technology
I need you right in front of me
Ooh she wants it, Ooh she wants it
Hmm she wants it, I got to give it to her
She wants it, Hmm she wants it
Hmm she wants it, I got to give it to her
I got to give it to her

Baby It’s a new age,
You like my new craze
Let’s get together
Maybe we can start a new phase
The smokes got the club all hazy,
Spotlights don’t do you justice baby
Why don’t you come over here, you got me saying

Aayooh
I’m tired of using technology
Why don’t you sit down on top of me
Aayooh
I’m tired of using technology
I need you right in front of me

What does it mean to be a learner-centered teacher of music in a technology-mediated context? I created this video to answer this question. The video is a knowledge mobilization outcome that is part of of a collaborative inquiry in which Andrew Mercer(the teacher profiled in the video) and Andrea Rose, School of Music, Memorial University are participating.

The project is funded through a grant for a Community University Research Alliance (CURA) on e-learning from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, Canada. Visit http://www.killickcentre.ca for the project information. To discuss learner-centeredness of teaching with technology, visit http://www.learnercenteredeteaching.blogspot.com/
On a technical note, the original file was well in excess of the allowable 100 megs. I uploaded the converted wmv file of 17 megs to youtube which converts it to a swf-flash file. Unfortunately swf does not render the transitions very well.

You can view youtube videos of the e-teacher profiled in the video if you search under buckydurddle.

We have been relying on youtube to conduct reflective sessions and conversations about learner-centeredness in teaching. Why youtube? because it is a symbol of user-centeredness and of the democratisation of knowledge. Youtube is a part of the WEB 2.0 which provides so many tools for social knowledge construction and sharing (Blogs, Wikis, podcasting etc). Social knowledge construction and sharing is, I believe, at the heart of learner-centeredness.
