ALA: Spend stimulus funds on school libraries - 0 views

  • Removing a school library media specialist, who is an expert [at helping students acquire 21st-century information skills], from a library becomes a disadvantage for the students in that school," she said.
  • he American Recovery and Reinvestment Act contains funding for educators to implement innovative strategies in Title I schools that improve education for at-risk students and close the achievement gap. The funding is flexible and, for the most part, the control rests in the hands of local and state superintendents--and spending some of it on school libraries would be a wise investment, ALA asserts.
  •  
    As school leaders prepare to spend billions of dollars in federal stimulus money, the American Library Association (ALA) is lobbying to have some of those dollars used to keep school libraries up to date during hard economic times.

    Community 'moderated' DNS level web filter applied to broadband router sure keeps pc-offspring-'hackers' well filtered (until they discover reset button on router -- mmm perhaps keeping broadband provider instructions for router somewhere safe would be a good idea).

    Networks are evolving so that people may customize what is sent to them. Again, the best filter in the world is the human brain and through RSS, people will have access to many things (that will make it through your firewall.) This is an example of a space for TV buffs that is increasing in interest in the entertainment field.

Do Internet Filters Undermine the Teaching of 21st Century Citizenship? - 0 views

  •  
    From Andy Carvin's PBS Blog. Many advocates of filtering policies insist than an educator may ask to have a site unblocked when it needs to be used in the classroom. But very few teachers have the ability to either get this done promptly by the filter's administrators, or the authority to do it themselves.

Class, Open Your Phones! - 0 views

  •  
    Trends suggest that mobile phones have educational potential. Cell phones are often tolerated in schools as long as they are turned off during lessons; sometimes they're banned outright. But as mobile technologies continue to improve and pioneers find innovative ways to use them, it's only a matter of time before students are admonished for not bringing their phones to class.

  •  
    Bud the Teacher and Stephanie Sandifer are planning an I read blocked blogs day. This is going to be an event for educators advocating access. It would also be a great time to talk about ways to monitor when you provide access. This also happens to be the first aspect of ad4dcss and we've listed it on the wiki. They have shirts that people can get and buttons for your blog.

    This is going to be a great project.

Encyclopedia Britannica Now Free For Bloggers - 0 views

  •  
    Britannica is now free for bloggers. Another endorsements for the increasing importance of bloggers.
  •  
    Encyclopedia Britannica is now free for bloggers from an article on 4/18/08 -- yet another reason for our students to blog. (I have students blogging publicly under pseudonyms.) This is fascinating, but also interesting to see how Britannica is playing catch up to Wikipedia in the market it once owned. I wonder, which would be more authoriative to you, a wikipedia quote updated daily, or Brittanica updated less often that doesn't display the authors of its content?
