  • To see what controls are available from the major cellphone companies, click to "What Mobile carriers need to do for kids" (see also ConnectSafely's "Cell-Phone Safety Tips"). [See also the New York Times on how 3G or smartphones are taking off and how 71% of women make the decision about their family's wireless choices, including phones and service plans.]
  • ust because they crave attention? Why do teens post such personal information online for all the world to see?
  • Mimi Ito, one of the principal investigators of the Digital Youth project. Of particular interest to parents concerned about teen social networkers' safety are findings by C.J. Pascoe mentioned by Dr. Ito, for example that: "Contrary to common fears, flirting and dating are almost always initiated offline in the traditional settings where teens get together and extended online. Her work clearly shows there's a strong social norm among teens that the online space isn't a place to find new romantic partners, but a place to deepen and explore existing offline relationships." Exceptions: marginalized teens "whose romantic partners are restricted for cultural or religious reasons" and gay and lesbian teens (the latter are "not reaching out online for random social encounters but using the expanded possibilities online selectively to overcome limitations they're facing" in their offline social networks); and the very small percentage of teens most at risk of sexual exploitation

BrainPOP - Animated Educational Site for Kids - Science, Social Studies, English, Math,... - 0 views

    This site was really interesting to me. It is kind of focused on older students, however there is also a k-3 section. I played some of the games and looked at the different subjects. It is a fun new age learning site. I think its important for the kids to be motivated to learn more and when you have interesting sites like this that kids enjoy it makes it easier for the information to stick.

Education Week's Digital Directions: Checking Sources - 0 views

  • As the Internet has evolved into a major source of information for students researching history and social studies, it also has become a place where hidden agendas and false information can trip up both students new to a topic and teachers searching for credible sources of historical data.

  • Activities: Students research and construct a time line that stars from the middle of the 19th century and projects into to the near future. Appropriate pictures will be drawn or placed on the time line to help emphasize historical facts that include scientific discoveries, industrial applications, and current events that may be related.

      This activity might be best in small groups. It will give an opportunity for diverse learners to succeed and express their views in a non-threatening environment.
  • Students will research and construct a pamphlet that includes: symptoms of disease, genetic causes of disease, genetic testing, population/risk, possible treatment, genetics screening techniques, cost, social and ethical implication.

      The links above are fantastic - I can see a million possibilites with this task.
  • Students will use one or all games to review basic information and Punnett Square problems. These games use soccer, basketball and the game show idea deal or no deal.

      These ideas are so inclussive. This particular excercise has the potential to minimize the negative leveling from peers.

      I think this particular acitvity might be best in a small group. Diverse learners will also benefit from this activity.

      I am amazed at how much I have already learned in a month. Kimberly won't always be our instructor, but hopefully we will know where to find technological help from now on.
  • to create connections with others which extend our learning
    • Mindy Hinckley
       
      Creating a connection with our students should be a main priority. Furthermore, class blogs will provide a safe environment for our students to ask questions and take advantage of technology

    This teacher has some great 'hands-on' ideas. My favorites are highlighted.
