Learning the lessons of mobile computing - 09 Oct 2006 - CRN - 0 views

  •  
    This article talks a lot about having laptops instead of desktops. I think this is one way that Henrico County stands out...because of our lapotp initiative. However...are we using the technology to benefit the students the best that we can?

      I think this statement is so true. So many people are afraid to experiment and try new things unless there is hard evidence that supports the idea.
  • using hand-held devices in the classroom can improve students’ motivation, engagement, conceptual understanding, and problem-solving skills.
    • Kate Puschak
       
      I tend to agree with this statement but I think there needs to be some boundaries with it all.
    • Andrew Stevens
       
      Definitely agree with you. Great article though

Do Computers Belong in the Classroom? - 0 views

    This one talks about how students have bad social skills cause they spend so much time on the computer. I also loved the fact that there were a bunch of other articles that one could navigate to just like this article.

Advocating for Technology Integration in Schools | Edutopia - 0 views

    This article talks about technology integration taking a backseat since Obama has been in office. This person is definitely in favor of getting technology integration as a priority. They even gave ways that people can speak out in favor of it!

The Curious SEO: Internet Ethics, Self-Policing and Transparency-Who's the Judge? | Sea... - 0 views

  • An interesting topic came up today within Search Mojo regarding the idea of online transparency and self-policing. Obviously, ethics comes in to play in self-policing. Whose ethics? That’s the question. Who are you to say what is and is not ethical in how I approach and execute things online?
  •  
    I read one of Dr. Richardson's responses to a post and she was talking about self-policing so I wanted to explore that a little more. I think this article is fueled by emotions from a family issue, but it does ask some good questions!

Using Technology in the Early Childhood Classroom - 0 views

  •  
    This was a very interesting article on using technology with young students. I have never taught kids that young so it was very eye opening. Also, I liked the points Dr. Perry made about making sure to use active technolgies rather than passive ones like TV.

    This site is wonderful in the classroom enabling students to visit various places around the state of Virginia without leaving the classroom! It was created by 4 guys who work for HCPS.
  •  
    I love that site! It's great to take kids on virtual field trips and if their teacher is on a PODcast like that, then it helps students relate to teachers and generates great discussion.

Steve Hargadon: Web 2.0 Is the Future of Education - 0 views

    • Kate Puschak
       
      I thought that this was such a bold statement. That Web 2.0 will have a greater impact than the printing press. This comment really got me thinking...could this author be right? What are your thoughts?
    • Byron Davis
       
      While I agree that the statement is a bold one, I believe it has the potential to be true. It's a matter of perspective. The printing press allowed for mass production that exposed ever increasing numbers of people to information and ideas. The internet used in Web 2.0 fashion offers the ability to not only instantaneously expose anyone with internet access ot information and ideas (for free), but also allows readers to enter into the discussion and be authors (like I am doing now instead of just reading it in an article). This is exponentially more powerful and yet so subtle. As a small modification of something that already existed, it does not make the dramatic grand entrance that the printing press made.
  • I believe that the read/write Web, or what we are calling Web 2.0, will culturally, socially, intellectually, and politically have a greater impact than the advent of the printing press.

    Even though the author feels that educators should use the same tools the kids are using, he suggests that schools come up with their own social network. There are links here that are interesting.

4 Arguments Against Technology - Now, New, Next - Harvard Business Review - 0 views

  •  
    This article is written by a gentleman who is for technology, however, he is addressing the four major reasons he has found for reasons people oppose technology. I was actually surprised at the four he narrowed it down to and summarized. Never really thought about most of them as reasons for NOT wanting technology integration! Interesting!
  •  
    Wow! What a list.... I enjoyed reading the comments to the blog as well. The "contrary to..." seemed very extreme but had some good points. I'm imagining that this agument would have probably been used during the industrial revolution as well.

Promethean Board Poised to Revolutionize Education , Page 2 of 2 - Associated Content -... - 0 views

  • The verdict is out; the Promethean Board is the future of education. As adaptable and upgradeable as the computer it is linked to, expect the Promethean board to change the face of education in classrooms across the world for the next years to come.
    • Kate Puschak
       
      I think this is a strong statement considering we have all discussed knowing people who don't use the board effectively!
