Survey Finds Parents Mostly OK With Kids' Use of Tech - 1 views

  • concern over stranger danger is interesting given that the actual risk (as opposed to perceived) of a child being harm by a stranger they meet online is very low.
  • understand actual risks as measured by data from organizations like the Crimes Against Children Research Department, the Centers for Disease Control, the Justice Department and others who keep up-to-date records on risks and harms.
  • great to see that parents are in-touch with their kids’ use of technology

Teaching Writing with Google Docs - 0 views

  • My students learn about writing mostly as they are writing. They learn very little from a failing grade, except that they can’t write.
  • Because I have access to their documents so early, I learn much more about my students’ writing and the issues that they need to overcome. This positions me for better teaching. It positions the students for better learning. That’s a win-win.

Ulysses, Pages & Write: 3 Very Different Writing Tools for iPad - 0 views

  •  
    "When it comes to text editors for the iPad, three of the leading contenders are Apple's Pages ($19.99), Soulmen's Ulysses ($19.99), and Tanmay Sonawane's Write ($1.99). We're no strangers to the Mac versions of Pages and Ulysses III, or the earlier version of Write for iOS. Now we're trying to answer the question: which is of these apps is best for writing on your iPad? As ever, that answer largely depends upon your needs. Let's explore the features they have to offer for handling a typical writing workflow."

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

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • mentors are more likely than limiters to talk with their kids about how to use technology or the Internet responsibly—something that half of mentors do at least once a week, compared to just 20 percent of limiters.
  • They’re also the most likely to connect with their kids through technology, rather than in spite of it
  • 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.
  • once they do get online, limiters’ kids often lack the skills and habits that make for consistent, safe, and successful online interactions. Just as abstinence-only sex education doesn’t prevent teen pregnancy, it seems that keeping kids away from the digital world just makes them more likely to make bad choices once they do get online.
  • While limiters may succeed in fostering their kids’ capacity for face-to-face connection, they neglect the fact that a huge chunk of modern life is not actually lived face-to-face. They also miss an opportunity to teach their children the specific skills they need in order to live meaningful lives online as well as off—skills like compensating for the absence of visual cues in online communications; recognizing and adapting to the specific norms of different social platforms and sub-communities; adopting hashtags, emojis, and other cues to supplement text-based communications; and learning to balance accountability with security in constructing an online identity.
  • We can’t prepare our kids for the world they will inhabit as adults by dragging them back to the world we lived in as kids. It’s not our job as parents to put away the phones. It’s our job to take out the phones, and teach our kids how to use them.

    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."
