    An interesting "converter" to simplify reading level of a passage that is pasted in to the text box. It doesn't always do an accurate job of simplifying, but it could still be a useful tool for those who may need such an accommodation.

When kids are skilled navigators of our networked world | NetFamilyNews.org - 1 views

  • Even when we talk about “digital citizenship,” we talk more about behavior or “Netiquette” than agency, which is essential to the participation of any citizen in participatory democracy.
  • I think that, as a society, we’ve been entirely too focused on taking agency away from children, representing them more as potential victims and passive consumers than as stakeholders in their own wellbeing and that of their peers and communities and active participants in user-driven media
  • as we stop focusing on blocking media and monitoring and controlling children and start helping them develop the skills of effective navigation and participation – they will not only be safer now, while still children, they will also be safer, more effective participants in participatory media and culture all their lives, long after they’ve left home and high school.

    Nice, clear piece by @tomwhitby. I love the primary emphasis on developing a personalized learning network [PLN] as a mindset, not a toolset. It's about learning... and it takes work.

Augmented Reality Brings New Dimensions to Learning | Edutopia - 0 views

  •  
    Great ideas for augmented reality... assuming the desired audience knows how to access the content... in this case with the Aurasma app. A simpler way to do this without having folks download/install Aurasma would be to use QR codes to access related media. Of course, this would require that folks have or download a QR code app.
