The results of a survey showing that 35 percent of middle school and high school students with cell phones have used them to cheat at school is indeed alarming. And perhaps more alarming is the finding that nearly a quarter of the students don't even think it's cheating. Cheating is cheating regardless of whether you use technology or old-fashioned paper notes. I'm appalled that kids may be using technology to cheat in school, but I'm just as appalled at how schools are cheating kids when it comes to technology.

One way to measure digital access is to measure access to "broadband" Internet availability. Broadband access is the benchmark for Internet access. Broadband access means access to a robust and speedy connection sufficient to utilize the cutting edge technology of the day. But we should not mistake lack of broadband access with lack of Internet use.\n\nThere is currently a significant gap in broadband access between young and old, rich and poor, rural and urban. Over two-thirds of US households have broadband access as of May 2009 according to the Leichtman Research Group. But only 37 percent of households with income under $30,000 have broadband access compared to 89 percent of households with over $75,000 annual income according to the same study.

If you're a Gadgetwise reader, you're among the 23 percent of the world's population that has Internet access. You've figured out how to download fresh news, print a boarding pass or tweet. But take a second and try to understand how it must feel to be undigital these days. There's a grating discomfort that comes from being left out of everyone else's secret language. I was reminded of how common this feeling is in my own hometown library last night, when I walked into a free public workshop on Facebook.

Essential Question:
Why are ladybugs considered to be good luck?
...

Cancel
This
project will demonstrate lesson plans designed following
principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and
examples of student work resulting from the lessons. As
teachers we should ask ourselves if there are any
barriers to our students’ learning. We should look for
ways to present information and assess learning in
non-text-based formats.
...

Cancel
...5 more annotations...
Based on brain research and new
media, the UDL framework proposes that educators design
lessons with three basic kinds of flexibility:

1. Multiple formats and
media are used to present information.
...

Cancel
Examples:

Illustrations,
pictures,
diagrams,
video or
audio clips, and
descriptions

2. Teachers use multiple
strategies to engage and motivate students.

3. Students demonstrate
learning through multiple performance and product
formats.
...

Cancel
UDL calls for

three goals to consider in designing lessons:

1. Recognition goals: these
focus on specific content that ask a student to identify
who, what, where, and when.

2. Strategic goals: these
focus on a specific process or medium that asks a
student to learn how to do something using problem
solving and critical think skills.

3. Affective goals: these
focus on a particular value or emotional outcome. Do
students enjoy, and appreciate learning about the topic?
Does it connect to prior knowledge and experience? Are
students allowed to select and discover new knowledge?

THERE is a gap between what parents think their children are doing online and what their kids are actually doing in real life.
For instance, adults think kids are online for 10 hours a week. In reality, children are spending an average of 18 hours online weekly. The results were part of the Norton Online Living Family Survey, commissioned globally by Internet security firm Symantec, as well as in Singapore, between April and May.

A 2007-2008 research study conducted by Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) reported several key findings that indicate children are logging on to the Internet at a very young age. Parental supervision of this computer activity, however, is generally lax. Not surprisingly, the study found that children are communicating with friends, peers, and others online in ways that show a lack of knowledge in what is ethical, safe behavior.
