  • "This new report reinforces that effective teachers need to incorporate digital content into everyday classes and consider open-source learning management systems, which have proven cost effective in school districts and colleges nationwide," said U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, in a statement released to coincide with the publication of the report. "We must take advantage of this historic opportunity to use American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds to bring broadband access and online learning to more communities."

    Google A Day is a a wormhole inspired time machine that enables users to solve spoiler free puzzles by searching the Internet as it existed before A Google a Day launched. I could see this a great opening activity across all content areas, with an emphasis on teaching young people navigation, research and critical thinking skills.

    Significant research has been done on the cognitive and academic outcomes of older-younger and peer-peer student relationships. Whether in a one-on-one setting or a setting in which responsibility for teaching is shared among members of a collaborative group, well-planned, well-organized, and well-executed student-student interactions have repeatedly shown positive evidence of student progress and learning This action research project differentiates itself from previous research in several ways because it focuses on motivational and attitudinal outcomes when every student in a classroom of eighth graders serves as a teacher of "new-to-everyone" content for three classes of younger students.

    The U.S. Department of Education is developing a new National Educational Technology Plan to provide a vision for how information and communication technologies can help transform American education. The plan will provide a set of concrete goals that can inform state and local educational technology plans as well as inspire research, development, and innovation. A draft plan is expected in early 2010.

    CITEd seems like a smart, helpful organization. I like this piece and also their site in general. I wonder how many other organizations/sites are out there like this and what is the best way to choose a small number to follow/use for our technology work.

  • literacy is beginning to be defined as the ability to share meaning through symbol systems in order to fully participate in society
  • “text” is beginning to be understood as any form of expression or communication in fixed and tangible form that uses symbol systems, including language, still and moving images, graphic design, sound, music and interactivity.
  • New types of texts and new types of literacies have been emerging over a period of more than 50 years.
  • ...20 more annotations...
  • information literacy, media literacy, media education, visual literacy, news literacy, health media literacy, and digital literacy, among others
  • disciplinary backgrounds of the stakeholders
  • wide scope of the knowledge and skills involved
  • These concepts must not be treated as competitors

      yet they compete for the focus of transformational efforts of educators, and time within the curriculum.  
  • a closely-knit family
  • information literacy has typically been associated with research skills. Media literacy typically has been associated with critical analysis of news, advertising and mass media entertainment. Health media literacy has been associated with exploring media’s impact on making positive choices related to nutrition, exercise, body image, violence and substance abuse prevention. Digital literacy is associated with the ability to use computers, social media, and the Internet

      interesting to see how they have settled in.  I have always considered media literacy to encompass all of the above.  technical skills necessary to "access... and create... in a variety of media".  info literacy to "access and synthesize" info.  the focus on critical analysis within media literacy can be applied across the curriculum -- health is one area of focus, violence another -- both subjects impacted greatly by media messages.   * quotes refer to the NAMLE.net Definition of Media Literacy.  
  • “digital and media literacy” is used to encompass the full range of cognitive, emotional and social competencies that includes the use of texts, tools and technologies; the skills of critical thinking and analysis; the practice of message composition and creativity; the ability to engage in reflection and ethical thinking; as well as active participation through teamwork and collaboration.
  • empowered to speak out on behalf of the missing voices and omitted perspectives in our communities
  • By identifying and attempting to solve problems, people use their powerful voices and their rights under the law to improve the world around them
  • spiral of empowerment
  • active participation in lifelong learning
  • both consuming and creating messages
  • consistent with constructivist education
  • Common Core State Standards Initiative (2010) points out, “To be ready for college, workforce training, and life in a technological society, students need the ability to gather, comprehend, evaluate, synthesize, report on, and create a high volume and extensive range of print and nonprint texts in media forms old and new. The need to research and to consume and produce media is embedded into every element of today’s curriculum.”

      there it is.  we have to emphasize this statement explicitly in development of units addressing the specific standards? 
  • Essential Competencies of Digital and Media Literacy 1.    ACCESS Finding and using media and technology tools skillfully and sharing appropriate and relevant information with others 2.   ANALYZE & EVALUATE Comprehending messages and using critical thinking to analyze message quality, veracity, credibility, and point of view, while considering potential effects or consequences of messages 3.   CREATE Composing or generating content using creativity and con­fidence in self-expression, with awareness of purpose, audience, and composition techniques 4.   REFLECT Applying social responsibility and ethical principles to one’s own identity and lived experience, communication behavior and conduct 5.   ACT Working individually and collaboratively to share knowledge and solve problems in the family, the workplace and the community, and participating as a member of a community at local, regional, national and international levels
  • “Teachers understand media’s influence on culture and people’s actions and communication; as a result, teachers use a variety of approaches for teaching students how to construct meaning from media and nonprint texts and how to compose and respond to film, video, graphic, photographic, audio, and multimedia texts
  • “preservice, inservice, and staff development programs that will focus on new literacies, multimedia composition, and a broadened concept of literacy”
  • Understand how people use media in their personal and public lives Recognize the complex relationships among audiences and media content Appreciate that media content is produced within social and cultural contexts Understand the commercial nature of media Use media to communicate to specific audiences
  • But genuine educational change in K–12 and higher education does not come about simply by generating documents or developing written standards
  • What is needed now is a clear and compelling vision of the instructional practices
  • Rhys Daunic on 05 Jun 11
     
    Regarding what's missing from the Core Common Standards -- new texts, new media, viewing...  Where does "complexity" of new media text get taught? How will teachers learn to parse it?  Is new media analysis and production a discipline?  Yes in my opinion.  Is it interdisciplinary? Yes.  Media related to various content areas have their own criteria.  Video, photography, blogs, social networks and the systems that deliver them are, in a way, their own languages. They are increasingly dominating how our society functions, informs and represents itself.  HOW can this still be an afterthought for educators?  Fear?  Uncertainty on how to proceed?  Because it's not tested? The text landscape is more complex than the textbook.

    GenYES is the only student-centered research-based solution for school-wide technology integration. Students work with teachers to design technology-infused lessons and provide tech support. The resulting collaboration provides the students with project-based learning and the teachers with on-site, sustainable technology integration support.
  • Sheila Tebbano on 05 Oct 09
     
    I supervised the implementation of the GenYES program for three middle schools when I was working in the Schenectady CIty School District. The students really liked supporting teachers and some teachers really bought into the program. I believe it is a valuable collaborative program but sustainability, especially if it is grant funded, can be problematic because of the yearly licensing fees. It's been three years since I worked with Dennis Hooper and the program and the fee schedule be have changed. I know they were doing more online lessons, training, etc. I can provide more information to anyone who is interested.

  • The international strategy is inextricably linked with the Department's domestic priorities to advance two goals simultaneously: to strengthen U.S. education and to advance our nation's international priorities. By working to increase the global competencies of all U.S. students, learning from other countries to improve our education policies and practices, and engaging in active education diplomacy, we will help to advance these two strategic goals. The strategy is firmly based on the belief that a world-class education for all—both domestically and internationally—is a win-win.
  • Rhys Daunic on 03 Dec 12
     
    the Department of Education is engaging more actively in education internationally and has developed its first-ever, fully-integrated international strategy, Succeeding Globally Through International Education and Engagement, to guide our work.
