    Ontario school board allows students to bring devices into the classrooms.   "If we think of the information superhighway, perhaps our job is to build the highway and onramp and the student will bring the car" [is the term 'information superhighway' still used these days?!]

    I think the approach that we need to consider is how to help students manage their lives (at least their academic ones) with technology. We need to figure out what the parameters are, and then find ways to teach this. A noble and challenging idea since like all of us students are drawn to allure of the digital world. As stated in the article: "If you break off the Internet, so what? They've got 3G on their phones and iPads,'' he said. "Instead, come up with a rule and express it."

    And to help students manage online and real life interactions, teachers need to get that experience first-hand, so they know what it's like. (Yet, governing bodies like the Ontario College of Teachers recently announced teachers should not use any social media.)

    I think that as a group we need to address the issue of how to approach managing wireless technology in the class. Just based on the chatter following the student's presentation and what has surfaced in our own group. If we don't examine this issue then it will end up undermining most of what we try and accomplish.

    I totally agree. I'm not sure if you saw on twitter, but the Coquitlam school district is putting in fibre-optics and will be creating a digital code of conduct so that students can bring/use devices in class.

      another sub-topic to look into? creativity and tech use?
  • Most primary schools in Hong Kong are still quite traditional and their mindset is to focus on textbooks and getting good scores. That's why Hong Kong students lag behind their counterparts in Western countries in terms of their creativity," Fung says.

    didn't listen to the TED talk so maybe as a group? Liked the idea of flipping the classroom a lot and trying to figure out how to use wireless for generating questions. We should talk about that, it is primarily a question of getting the right app (I think). I also like the text book node thing but I don't totally get it.

    i listened to the TED talk a while back. apparently this idea of flipping classrooms is more of a north american idea. yeah, i didn't totally get the textbook node thing either... sounds like a gigantic mind map that everyone just shares??

qrcodes wireless education guilt-relief

    I can actually see how we might do this with students' mobile devices. Guilt relief here too :)

    Personally I have had no luck with QR codes, my understanding it that they do not work with iPhone 3G. You need 3GS or later. That being said I think there is some potential here, especially in terms of getting students quickly to sites when you are using some kind of presentation. I think it could also be a tool to teach to kids and get them to use in projects and assignments especially if we start veering away from the traditional type of assignments.

    are you serious? Steve Jobs has also banned QR codes?? i haven't used QR codes in my class, but i do like how i can scan one and avoid typing in a url. i mostly find myself scanning QR codes for apps to download. on a related note, google has discontinued QR codes in for google Places... a thing i saw in the states (noticed it in Portland, OR) where businesses would have a sticker in their window. it seemed a bit like yelp.

    Lots of little tips on how to use google apps in school settings. i didn't know there was a flashcard gadget on google-spreadsheets. and their ideas on different ways to use Forms would be great once there's enough access to laptops/devices.

    I haven't listened to the whole interview yet but this seems intriguing the downside is that it is targeted to at risk students so it is the opposite end of the spectrum for many of us. In addition I have relieved some of my guilt since now at least I have posted something.

    LOL! And thanks for the link!
