//OCTOBER 2011// //Fostering Students' Voices// //EDUB 1990 G32: Teacher and Technology//

=__ STUDENT VOICE: __= =Just-Say-It-Already = = Technology amplifies Student Voice as never before and enables those whose voice is rarely heard to participate more fully in their own education. This wiki is an exploration of how teachers can foster Student Voice in the classroom utilising technology. =

====**The use of [|technology in (and outside) the classroom] seems to be [|evolving] at an exponential rate. Click on these links to see excellent examples of how these educational changes are taking place and why it is important that we embrace this change.**====

====There are great differences between its uses in Early years classrooms where we have yet to see many applications, and Middle years classrooms where student engagement inside and outside of school is being developed. Then it becomes more complex as students move into Senior years and even more-so when they enter post-secondary education.==== ====The challenge here is to separate the concept of fostering Student Voice utilising technology from the myriad ways that technology is changing our delivery of education, as well as the educational system itself. At times these things are entwined. It is critical for educators and students to work together to make sense of these relationships and navigate through what could become a minefield if not handled with care.====
