Child Safety on the Information Highway - 2013 - 20th Anniversary Edition | SafeKids.com - 3 views

  • One thing we have learned in the last 20 years is that many young people — certainly most teens– are pretty savvy about how they use the Net, though all of us can use some reminders now and then.
  • And parents — even those who may be technologically challenged — continue to have a crucial role to play in guiding their children and helping them sort out and deal with the stresses of life, both online and offline.
  • A better strategy would be to teach children to be “street smart” in order to better safeguard themselves in any potentially uncomfortable or dangerous situation.

Makerspace for Education - Home - 0 views

  • The primary goal of both constructivism and constructionism is to have learners create their own knowledge by creating and interacting with physical objects. It has clear connections to media literacy as well as to self-directed learning. Innovative researchers, and those who wish to see schools develop 21st century learners with the skills to work in today’s multidimensional career settings, know constructivism and constructionism are necessary methods.
  • “Ultimately, the outcome of maker education and educational makerspaces leads to determination, independence and creative problem solving, and an authentic preparation for the real world through simulating real-world challenges. In short, an educational makerspace is less of a classroom and more of a motivational speech without words” (Kurti et al., 2014, p. 11).
  • At the heart of this movement is the understanding that “learning happens best when learners construct their understanding through a process of constructing things to share with others” (Donaldson, 2014, p. 1). 
  •  
    "​The purpose of Makerspace for Education is to provide educators with a hands-on, creative, user friendly, "anytime, anyplace", professional development tool that can be used as part of a community of practice. It allows educators to inform themselves, with tools at their fingertips, on the various aspects of the makerspace as they are ready. Using interactive tools that allow access to necessary information, directly from a user-friendly interface and based on the key frameworks of constructionism and constructivism, makerspace, design thinking and media literacies, teachers will have the tools they need to begin, or continue, their makerspace journeys. This site will evolve and grow as the participating educators add to the content and support the construction of knowledge. "

:: The 4th Era :: | Scoop.it - 4 views

  • this new era is accompanied with, and characterized by, a new information landscape. This new Internet landscape will challenge, disrupt, and overpower the print-oriented one that came before it. It will not completely obliterate that which preceded it, but it will render it to a subsidary, rather than primary, level of influence.

SchoolCIO Blogs - DAILY INSIGHT: The past, the present, and the future, part 2 of 4 - 0 views

  • we are experiencing are truly transformational, and the only way we have of coping with these changes is in learning how to be adaptable and learning how to be innovative.
  • The Internet is no longer just a consumer-based platform; the Internet is now a consumer/producer-based platform. Are we allowing our student to create content on the Internet? Are we allowing our students to blog, to communication, and to collaborate with other students all over the world? As educators, this is the challenge of our time; are we teaching like we taught yesterday, or are we teaching in order to prepare our students for their tomorrow?
