      Nice to see there are entire projects dedicated to helping all people learn how to research and learn better.
  • Project Information Literacy is a national study about early adults and their information-seeking behaviors, competencies, and the challenges they face when conducting research in the digital age. Based in University of Washington's iSchool, the large-scale research project investigates how early adults on different college campuses conduct research for course work and how they conduct "everyday research" for use in their daily lives... more > What is PIL? >

  • The danger, however, is that computers will be used only to reinforce the national trend toward earlier and more academic skill acquisition, and that other important developmental needs will be ignored. Further, there is a danger that developmental needs not met through technology will be ignored or radically compromised: physical play, outdoor exploration of the community and of nature; art, music and dance; learning specific social skills and moral values, and experiencing diversity in a myriad of ways.
  • To fully integrate computers into the curriculum teachers should take the goals of the curriculum and find ways these can be implemented.

      We have opportunities to reach outside our own classrooms and communities to help others with the click of a button. We should be modeling this kind of action within our students. 
  • So last month they started a petition on Change.org, the go-to site for Web uprisings. They demanded that Universal Studios “let the Lorax speak for the trees.” The petition went viral, quickly gathering more than 57,000 signatures, and the studio updated the movie site with the environmental message that the kids had dictated.
  • “These kids are really feeling the glow of making the world a better place. They’re feeling that power.”

    I saw this and also thought it was amazing. One of the advantages of technology is it really is an equalizer.

      the case for interactive textbooks
  • Using tools for highlighting and annotating virtual flash-cards, students can select information within the text and store it for later revision. Searching public databases, direct from within the textbook, is also possible. At school, students can sync with their teachers’ computers, to hand in their quiz results and homework for marking.
  • Done properly, interactive textbooks offer not only video tutorials, more personalised instruction, just-in-time hints and homework help, but also instant access to assessment tools, teaching resources and the ability to network socially with students elsewhere.

  • if software is to be used as a teaching aid (called “blended learning” in pedagogical circles), then it should seek to balance the need for correct answers with the freedom to take risks and break rules. “If you’re not prepared to be wrong,” Dr Robinson preaches, “you’ll never come up with anything original.”

      I am wondering if anyone in ADE634 has any experience with Google Chromebooks?
  • The Teachers site leads to Google’s many apps that can be used for teaching specific subjects, as well as design and collaboration tools.
  • Google has revamped its site for educators, creating a redesigned repository for all its educational tools and resources for teachers, schools, and students.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Schools and districts can find links to YouTube for Schools, which allows students to access YouTube EDU while blocking non-educational videos;
  • Last week, Google announced that three school districts in Iowa, Illinois and South Carolina are using only Google Chromebooks, the Web browser-based laptop, and that hundreds of schools across the country are deploying them in classrooms — a total of 27,000 in the hands of students.

      *encouragement to react to new technology in the classroom fearlessly
  • Being a 21th century teacher means we have to equip our students with the know-how of technology, there simply is no excuse to not fulfill our job.  Our students learn from us, even the way we react to change, so think of your approach as the newest thing is shown to you.  Will you model how to be fearless?
