potential of technology for learning personalized access restrictions for disadvantaged students, catch all the advice they shared in our live chat in the education of gifted and talented children

Here, we've compiled some highlights and links to our live chat recently, in association with Iggy, who explored the role of technology in gifted education. To read the full analysis here.

Jackie Swift (@ jactherat), head of English at a secondary school in London, was the coordinator of the school G & T before and wrote in his blog for the Guardian Teacher Network in gifted and talented: Everything gifted and talented

not gifted and talented gifted teachers need? I agree that G & T students need great teachers, who do not feel threatened by them, they are open to be challenged much beyond the usual and open. In fact, a specialist multi-objects of any kind might do the trick. G & T students coastal too often, and we need to push and pull. This is also why a global online community is something that many of them enjoy.

technology opens up spaces for students to really explore Intelligent Technologies that include peer education, learning through discourse, learning (and the formation of a worldview ) synthesized from multiple speech, rather than a single authoritative narrative on a particular subject, create opportunities for students to explore very intelligent.

is increasingly clear to me through all of our learning networks that G & T students are quite capable of learning more decentralized and self-directed environment where they can access to multiple bodies of knowledge. They also need mutual feedback when it comes to implement the ideas, the sharing of information (research track) and the pooling of efforts of more sophisticated understanding of the issue, the possibility of comparing or contrasting conflicting interpretations of the theme and the possibility of contact with people on a higher level of study in multilateral conversation with a large group of students. Technology can provide all the above. In doing so, leads directly to the complex informational skills (critical reading of sources, understanding the context of what they read and the ability to negotiate the content offered by various media). It is our duty as educators to support our most talented students in their search for these skills discriminatory.

But there are enormous pedagogical implications as a result of the decision in this paradigm, I think we really need to focus our discussion.

Technology can provide personalized learning that extends students G & T: I think most people would agree that we need to question our G & T students that some of them tend to be the leaders of tomorrow in a wide field. I see that investment in these students is an investment in the future of all. The biggest problem is how to stretch these students. There is no one size fits all models, so that the technology seems to be a good starting point, since students can more easily customize their learning experience.

Technology can bridge the gap between rich and poor, G & T students: One of the things I love about technology is that students have the opportunity to reinvent themselves in some way. Thus, a student from a disadvantaged community can run on the same intellectual level as those that might have better luck. Sometimes not being able to physically see the people who work can discourage misconceptions about disadvantaged students.

The idea that gifted students are middle class or rich media is a common mistake. This may be the argument that the parents of these funds are best for recognizing talent and thus highlight their children opportunities appropriate. However, I believe that gifted education is less exclusive and inclusive, including through programs and target Mobility Foundation, identifying gifted students from disadvantaged backgrounds.

Technology

is an untapped resource: We have a real problem because the government's position that "schools are better placed to make the best decision" on all matters of implementation of financial technology lease. Without the leadership of the political point of view, the potential of each student is subject to a postcode lottery if they attend a school that is to be able to meet their needs. collaboration and information sharing has never been more important.

My impression is that the technology is used most of the time a "one size fits all" manner and the enormous capacity of the technology to be adapted and tailored to the needs of each student is still in its infancy.

Remember that the best things in life are free: Schools should be aware that it has to do with the kit expensive. Things like Google Drive, Edmodo, social networks, etc. can be used in schools for free. I like the iPad and how it can be used to support teaching and learning. But with tight budgets, it is a necessity if the money is not there.

If students can access the Internet, whether at home, in a library or in a youth club eligible. Teachers and schools must take this into consideration. Make available as much as possible. Inexpensive equipment such as Raspberry Pi can be used instead of computers that cost several hundred pounds. Schools should try to help the students access.

Use social media to work with gifted and talented (G & T): Social networks can be very large. Opens the tool anywhere, any collaboration. Students have ownership of these spaces. For example, consider that Facebook is "sound." Exchange information, discuss with other students and teachers. Students and teachers can share resources.
