00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.004
I've been thinking about something we
have so many cool gadgets nowadays iPads

00:00:08.004 --> 00:00:13.703
and laptops and smart mobile phones so
how come we can hardly ever use them at

00:00:14.099 --> 00:00:16.430
school

00:00:16.043 --> 00:00:20.099
who decides to we the people are
supposed to learn can even use the tools

00:00:20.099 --> 00:00:26.108
for most comfortable with use of these
gadgets is abbreviated to ICT

00:00:27.089 --> 00:00:33.107
information and communication technology
in fact many people believe that

00:00:34.007 --> 00:00:38.078
children learn much better by using ICT
but many local authorities struggled to

00:00:38.078 --> 00:00:39.176
provide their students with this

00:00:40.076 --> 00:00:44.084
the problem is not the actual Hardware
schools are full of it

00:00:45.053 --> 00:00:53.066
the problem is how to use ICT smartly to
improve learning the Y is better

00:00:53.066 --> 00:00:54.107
learning important

00:00:55.007 --> 00:00:58.100
well we just like to think you are the
best

00:01:00.035 --> 00:01:04.097
however the truth is that even though
normally spends more money on schools in

00:01:04.097 --> 00:01:08.386
most countries and regions students
score average on international peace and

00:01:09.259 --> 00:01:10.268
teams tests

00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:14.159
why is it like that and what are the
consequences

00:01:17.003 --> 00:01:21.059
norway currently makes a good living
from its oil

00:01:22.004 --> 00:01:29.653
however it could all be gone by as soon
as 2030 people say that after the oil we

00:01:30.049 --> 00:01:35.092
will live of knowledge as far as i can
see this means the more of us will have

00:01:35.479 --> 00:01:40.520
to get a good education with so many of
our young people dropping out of high

00:01:40.052 --> 00:01:44.081
school can really claim they're on the
right path to become a knowledge-based

00:01:44.081 --> 00:01:47.170
society it doesn't look like it

00:01:49.082 --> 00:01:53.131
are we just expecting our students to
suddenly realize that the ordination

00:01:53.869 --> 00:01:59.420
future and get their act together or
should we try to make schools more

00:01:59.042 --> 00:02:04.021
relevant and motivating for students
that this happens naturally if more

00:02:04.399 --> 00:02:08.455
students learn better that possibly
motivate them to continue and not drop

00:02:08.959 --> 00:02:10.280
out of high school

00:02:10.028 --> 00:02:13.028
wouldn't that actually helped to create
a knowledge-based society

00:02:15.005 --> 00:02:20.090
ok if we have created a society benefits
from improved learning how to reach the

00:02:20.009 --> 00:02:20.878
skull

00:02:21.769 --> 00:02:24.430
well then we're back to the gadgets

00:02:24.043 --> 00:02:28.302
I believe it would be smart to take
advantage of students interest in ICT

00:02:28.689 --> 00:02:34.090
computers can teach us to learn things
in different ways and they also make

00:02:34.009 --> 00:02:37.018
learning advanced concepts easier if
that's what you want

00:02:38.012 --> 00:02:43.064
imagine instead of reading about DNA
molecules and cramming in fact you

00:02:43.064 --> 00:02:47.108
really understand why not visualize
simulate an animate the DNA molecule

00:02:48.008 --> 00:02:53.227
wouldn't this make school more exciting
if you actually understand what you

00:02:53.299 --> 00:02:58.357
learn how about math wouldn't learning
improved formulas were brought to life

00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:03.890
using dynamic graphs rather than
struggling with cryptic X's and Y's and

00:03:03.089 --> 00:03:07.048
how about other subjects would inspire
us to have all the information in the

00:03:07.849 --> 00:03:14.840
world at our fingertips just a few mouse
clicks away i think it would I feel

00:03:14.084 --> 00:03:16.603
excited just thinking about it

00:03:17.359 --> 00:03:22.375
so what's holding us back well I CT is a
part of the curriculum as the fifth

00:03:22.519 --> 00:03:29.524
basic skill that's a good start but the
curriculum itself is no guarantee

00:03:29.569 --> 00:03:33.980
because nothing happens to those who
don't follow it accurately

00:03:35.077 --> 00:03:40.126
therefore it's probably more important
to get the actual teachers into the idea

00:03:41.026 --> 00:03:46.090
of using ICT in their lessons could
increase use of ICT and teacher training

00:03:46.009 --> 00:03:51.085
encourage teachers to use ICT their own
lessons and what if they were given the

00:03:52.066 --> 00:03:55.075
time and resources to keep the ICT
knowledge up to date

00:03:56.038 --> 00:04:02.116
wouldn't that paved the way for smarter
use of ICT in education could we buy

00:04:03.016 --> 00:04:10.045
used in ICT smartly improve learning
motivation and then results if we could

00:04:10.045 --> 00:04:14.122
do that wouldn't we be better suited to
create the knowledgebase Norway of the

00:04:15.022 --> 00:04:15.064
future
