  • Gallup has spent decades studying great teaching and the innate talents of the best teachers. The fundamentals that make for a great classroom teacher are the same fundamentals that make for a great online course or gaming experience. Here is what the best teachers do: They are relational: They develop student-to-student, student-to-educator, and student-to-parent relationships. They are hopeful: They inspire students with energy and enthusiasm for the future. They are insightful: They see each student as an individual and get to know his or her unique identity and nature. Simply put, great teaching is about emotionally engaging the learner in a way that is individualized.
  • Joel Levin, a classroom teacher and expert in education gaming applications, noted that his value as a teacher comes from "drawing out the connections between gaming and real life for students. ... Without me there, it has much less meaning."
  • There was widespread agreement among the participants that technology will change everything and nothing. Essentially, what we do with technology has to have fundamental underpinnings in what the best teachers in the world have done for decades.

  • A technological revolution is happening in the world of education; it is changing schools for the better. But, it will never change the definition of and need for great teaching.

  • Social media is now being embraced by even the hardiest traditionalist as perhaps the best way to get messages to the masses and individuals. First seen as somewhat of a fad, Facebook is now the most used search engine on the web and even figures like Barack Obama and The Queen have a page.
  • Bullying is a worry for any student and indeed their parents but research has shown that pupils are far more likely to be bullied on the school bus than they are on any social media site.

  • Children’s days are over-scheduled with sports, arts, functions and additional classes. Yet the need to connect and socialize has not gone away in these overly adult-managed times.
  • Many of the young people interviewed here said they would actually rather be hanging out with friends in real spaces than posting updates in online spaces, but the hemmed-in reality of their lives makes that nearly impossible.
  • We teachers are not “digital immigrants.” We are their guides, and our role, along with parents, has never been more important, nor more complicated.

    "The Los Angeles Unified School District's recent decision to provide each of its 600,000 plus students with an iPad makes sense. The technology drumbeat is growing louder and louder. Training children to use the tools of their future is a must, and the LAUSD is smart to take a proactive approach. But as the technology revolution proceeds in the classroom, a critical piece of the equation must not be overlooked: the effect on the home. The iPads that L.A. school kids will receive are not going to sleep in a school locker at the end of each day. The iPad is coming home. "

    "This isn't just for people with traditional careers and family lives. It applies to all families regardless of how busy your schedule or important your job, In her book "The Obamas," author Jodi Kanter highlights the President's commitment to having dinner with his family five times a week. Unfortunately in the hustle and bustle of today's digital world, the art of the family dinner has been drained out of many homes with device interaction replacing face-to-face connection. During a panel discussion hosted by Common Sense Media that focused on raising caring kids in a digital world, Howard Gardner of the Harvard Graduate School of Education shared that many families are not even sure what to do at dinner time if all are free of digital devices. If this applies to your family, don't despair. Below are ideas for dinner time activities for each day of the week. These suggestions should serve as a helpful way to ensure dinner time is a valuable experience for families."

    "For a video game, Minecraft is unusual in that it's both hugely popular, and has a ton of educational value. But in terms of both these factors, the creative building game can't hold a candle to its real-life counterpart, good old-fashioned Legos. large_2x4brick_red_held_by_child_0Yes, Lego, the most popular toy ever made is also ridiculously educational! In fact, when coming up with this list it was difficult to limit it to just 20 activities. The educational possibilities of the humble Lego are seemingly endless."
