    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.

    This is probably more of a district issue, but I am sure there are students here that it applies to and they are not going to be quick to point it out

  • Students can't access websites like Facebook or YouTube because of inappropriate material, Vanstone said, but teachers can still use the sites for lessons.
  • inappropriate material, Vanstone said, but teachers can still use the sites for lessons."When it's handled by a teacher who understands the technology and uses it effectively it can be a great experience for the students," he said.Wi-Fi also allows more access points at the school, said SCITS principal Linda Jared, noting students use iPods and smart phones as mobile dictionaries or periodic tables."If you think of the information superhighway, we're kind of providing the onramp to that," said education director Jim Costello. "What we're seeing is kids are now bringing the car."Board officials are holding an internal symposium with teachers and students on April 8 to discuss the next four years of their information technology strategy.tkula@theobserver.caFor breaking news go to theobserver.ca, or check us out on Facebook.
