There’s a tendency to portray time spent away from screens as idyllic, and time spent in front of them as something to panic about.

Why Parents Shouldn't Feel Guilt About Their Kids' Screen Time - The Atlantic - 3 views

the most successful strategy, far from exiling technology, actually embraces it.

if the “off” switch is the only tool parents use to shape their kids’ experience of the Internet, they won’t do a very good job of preparing them for a world in which more and more technologies are switched on every year.

A fascinating approach to the role of the parent in raising good digital citizens. "..children of limiters who are most likely to engage in problematic behavior: They're twice as likely as the children of mentors to access porn, or to post rude or hostile comments online; they're also three times as likely to go online and impersonate a classmate, peer, or adult."

when we say transformational learning experiences powered by technology, we are talking about authentic, project-based learning, where students have agency, ownership and commitment to a relevant and meaningful goal that allows them to use digital tools to take on roles of creators, problem solvers, and learner-teachers working with and alongside peers, instructors, and other mentors to accomplish something bigger than themselves.
Can We Help Children Manage Their Online Lives? Post for @HuffPostUK - - 0 views

Taking away a child’s mobile phone will only put the ever present e-safety issues under the surface of school life. I feel much more confident in equipping our young people in how to effectively use social media instead. How do you report inappropriate content? How do you block someone? What should you do if you are, or see someone else being bullied?

Most teachers recognise the potential for collaboration between students and the importance of it as a component of a 21st Century education and yet many do not take full advantage of the opportunities they have for collaboration as teachers.
Getting Students to Take Control | Getting Smart - 1 views

"For centuries, the majority of kids who attend school do so for one reason: it is mandatory. Think back to when you were in school, now envision you were offered the following choices: You master the material and receive a low grade You don't understand the material and receive a high-grade Which would you choose? Sure, some would rather master the material, but the majority would aim for the higher grade. In order to transform the learning process from standardization to personalization, we need to help students shift their view of school away from focusing on grades to focusing on their personal self-growth. We need to show them they are not just there because they have to be."
ISTE | Turn coders into computational thinkers - 1 views

With computational thinking, students learn how to work together to approach open-ended problems, gain confidence to work with complex problems, and develop grit to continue to work on the problem until a viable solution is found. The added component with computational thinking, however, takes this approach one step further by asking you to think about how you are preparing your students to use technology when solving problems.

Yes, students learn how to work together to approach open-ended problems I agree with this but... gain confidence to work with complex problems, and develop grit to continue to work on the problem until a viable solution is found not agree an the same time. Now the younger students have many mini tattoos in their bodies and have more problems to fing jobs in the future.
Play is essential, but it takes work for children to succeed in the real world | Tom Be... - 3 views

"The announcement that the University of Cambridge has appointed the world's first Lego professor of play gives new meaning to the phrase "red-brick university". Professor Paul Ramchandani will lead a team "examining the importance of play in education". And, presumably, building awesome spaceships that turn into Durham Cathedral. I have a one-year-old son who might agree; try as I might, I just cannot get him to recite Homer or parse a sonnet. I have, however, watched in childish joy as he tumbles through Duplo and teddy mountains, rolling in grass like an explorer on a new planet. It is a new planet - new to him. All he wants to do, it seems, is play."
Cognitive Access to Numbers: the Philosophical Significance of Empirical findings About... - 1 views
-
We teach children about numbers, but how do people come to know what numbers are, given that they are abstract? There must be some process of learning that takes place. This paper explores this problem, offers several alternative accounts of what a number is, and argues that the concept of a number can be learned by learning to recognize the size of a set or collection of entities. Teachers call this subetizing
Wolfram Alpha Founder Discusses Computational Thinking at Ed School | News | The Harvar... - 0 views

Wolfram defined computational thinking as “the activity for a human of taking something that they want to know about or that they want to have happen in the world, and formulating it in such a way that a sufficiently smart computer can then know what to do.”
-
“Computational thinking is a bigger, more significant thing that I think will be remembered as probably the most important intellectual achievement of the 21st century,”
-
Coding, Wolfram argued, is “the enemy” of computational thinking. “I think with the low-level coding, it is as mechanical as a lot of the kind of math that kids find boring,”
Will Robots Take Our Children's Jobs? - The New York Times - 1 views
-
"Like a lot of children, my sons, Toby, 7, and Anton, 4, are obsessed with robots. In the children's books they devour at bedtime, happy, helpful robots pop up more often than even dragons or dinosaurs. The other day I asked Toby why children like robots so much. "Because they work for you," he said. What I didn't have the heart to tell him is, someday he might work for them - or, I fear, might not work at all, because of them. It is not just Elon Musk, Bill Gates and Stephen Hawking who are freaking out about the rise of invincible machines. Yes, robots have the potential to outsmart us and destroy the human race. But first, artificial intelligence could make countless professions obsolete by the time my sons reach their 20s."
