    "It's not entirely clear what it means to be a "21st century student." And in 2013, it's also not entirely clear what the definition of an "educational app" might be. Just as students are no longer tethered to textbooks (in most formal education settings), apps that are strictly didactic-designed to promote academic proficiency and foundational fluency-are often the first that parents and teachers reach for when looking for something "constructive." But the reality is, the 21st century is as much about finding, evaluating, managing, sharing, and curating information as it is reading texts, answering questions, and applying memorized formulas to neatly scaffolded problems."

  • Today’s teens live in both a real and virtual community, and the latter has infinite libraries and schools, radio stations, shopping malls, game arcades and much more. Their time in that community can’t be quantified, because it’s entirely integrated into their lives. It shapes and reflects their identities.
  • I believe that our interactions with technology have become so instinctual and embedded that we can’t accurately answer a “how many minutes” question.

    "With less books, paper, and pencils and more laptops, smartphones, and tablets gracing our classrooms these days, it would be logical to say that the nature of note-taking in class has changed, too. Especially with digital tools such as Evernote, writing things down on paper seems less likely to be the #1 way of taking notes. That said, does taking notes really help? Does the physical act of writing something down help you to remember it? What is the most effective way to take notes? How does all of this play into a more digitally based classroom? The handy infographic below takes a look at these questions and more - keep reading to find out some of the answers!"

  • In what different ways do you structure reflection and closings in your classroom?

      When working in 1:1 schools, there are so many ways to document and share bell work and end of class closings. It is even better to tie them together and gain further meaning... I.e. question for follow up is answered the following lesson.

    "I am one of those people who regularly figures out exactly what to say after the moment has passed. I will be deep in conversation with someone, sharing thoughts and bouncing around ideas. Yet, as the thoughts swirl, I'll have an unsettled feeling. Often it is not until some time later, when the ideas have marinated, that I realize what matters most to me and how to say it. I find that the flow of learning for many of my students matches my personal need for intellectual reflection. "

  • MySpace, Facebook, Xanga, LiveJournal…blogs, social networking… "What does this all mean?” parents wonder. “And do I really need to learn about this?”The answer to the second question above is YES! Blogging sites are becoming increasingly popular with teenagers, and there are risks parents need to be aware of.

  • Clearly, the note-taking factor contributed to the overall scores. As someone who was in college before podcasting became popular but after sending students home with PowerPoint printouts became all the rage, I know from experience that many students think that printed slides are merely notes in prepackaged form.
  • McKinney acknowledged that the students who downloaded the podcast simply seemed to do better with taking notes and paying closer attention to what was being said, as they were able to go back and repeat parts of the lecture they had trouble understanding. "It isn't so much that you have a podcast, it's what you do with it," she told New Scientist.
  • As for whether podcasts can replace professors, McKinney stops short of suggesting that all classrooms become virtual. She refers to them as a supplemental tool to a traditional lecture that can help students gain a better understanding of the material and also help free up professors from answering repetitive questions. The takeaway? Go to class, take notes, listen to the podcast, and take more notes.

  • Twitter has become the number 1 tool for learning in just three years – voted by hundreds of learning professionals in this survey at Jane Hart’s site. Microblogging platforms are a great tool to keep you updated with latest trends & get real time support or answers to questions. You could even search for information on these tools themselves and get some good links to follow. As a personal learning tool, Twitter is great but it’s a public platform and what you share on it is available to everyone, some organizations may need tools which can be installed behind their firewalls (Laconica, Yonkly) or that is available as a secure private service (Yammer). All these tools have functionality that’s similar to Twitter. Organizations are using these tools for workplace learning and performance support. Here’s what for:

  • And even with the most modern device in hand, students still need the basics of a solid curriculum and skilled teachers. “There’s a saying that the music is not in the piano and, in the same way, the learning is not in the device,’’ said Mark Warschauer, an education and informatics professor at the University of California-Irvine whose specialties include research on the intersection of technology and education.
  • “I think one of the real key questions that will be answered over the next several years is what sort of things work best in print for students and what sort of things work best digitally,’’ Diskey said. “I think we’re on the cusp of a whole new area of research and comprehension about what digital learning means.’’

  • It's a great question and one that I've had to answer as an assistant superintendent for instruction.
  • I used to believe that "Content is King" and prided myself in trying to get as much material covered as possible. Now I realize that content is ubiquitous, what we do with it is much more important.
