      Is a brain that's wired differently a bad thing?
    • Jon Perkins

      It seems at times that "wired differently" is being used as an excuse for a growing inability to stay on task. When the need for immediate gratification leads you to think that 6 minutes of YouTube is a substitute for reading Vonnegut, I get a little worried. The social world of the teenagers may center around multitasking, but that seems to suggest that we need to have them work on focused concentration in the classroom ... rather than reinforcing skills that they are mastering on their own.

    Jon- I totally agree that we should still make them read Vonnegut and can't use new culture/brain learning styles as excuses- how to reconcile the new ways students are and our teaching styles is where we need to research more so we can implement instructional practices that meet them where they are at and get them to the place we need them to be.

How Schools Can Use Facebook to Build an Online Community - 1 views

  • But “being safe” shouldn’t mean missing out on a key opportunity to engage the community.
  • Facebook is an excellent opportunity for a school to connect with families and share information rapidly. If a school is consistent in keeping the information updated and accurate, students and families will likely come to rely on the Facebook Page as a resource to find information about what’s going on at the school.

    A school district in Florida is advising teachers not to "friend" students on social networking sites, claiming that teacher-student communication through this medium is "inappropriate."
  • anonymous on 21 Jul 11
     
    Interesting that these regulations are listed in the teachers' handbook. I live within walking distance from the school I work at, and often see neighborhood kids. One in particular is my student, in fact I was standing outside my home last night talking with two friends of mine and he walked by. He's a great kid and we always say hi and chat a little, but it's in the back of my mind that even that could be used against me by someone who is twisted. The weird thing about the inappropriate internet stuff is that there is always a paper trail, so it seems so obvious to not do certain things. I'm surprised FL advises teachers to not even use a "professional" user account with students, but apparently they feel the risks outweigh the advantages.

      I almost feel overwhelmed with all this information of how to use Twitter for educational purposes. Some of the ideas are great and they look fun, definitely aiding to the traditional ways of teaching. What caught my attention at this list of creative ways teachers use Twitter is creating a TWIBE - have any of you heard of this before or used it? If yes, how did it work?
  • ______ of the day: No matter the class, a vocabulary word, book, song, quote or something else "of the day" might very well make an excellent supplement to the day’s lesson. When teaching younger kids, tell their parents about the Twitter feed and encourage them to talk about postings at home.
  • Supplement foreign language lessons: Twitter’s unique spacing limitations make for an interesting way to nurture foreign language acquisition. Tweet a sentence in a foreign language at the beginning of the day or class and ask students to either translate or respond in kind as a quick, relatively painless supplement.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • Create a twibe: Build networks beyond Twitter itself and set up (or have students set up) a twibe, bringing together other classrooms or professionals. These networks not only serve to broaden one’s perspective, but offer an interesting lesson in how online communities come together, sustain themselves or fall apart.

College 2.0: Academics and Colleges Split Their Personalities for Social Media - Techno... - 1 views

shared by Roxana Sandu on 18 Jul 11 - No Cached
  • Many professors and higher-education leaders are struggling to strike a balance between their personal and professional lives when using online social media, a realm that encourages widespread sharing of thoughts and opinions. Often that means creating multiple accounts, one for each of the hats they wear. Some professors use Facebook with friends and family, reserving Twitter for professional observations, or vice versa.
  • There may be a benefit to that kind of sharing. Ms. Johnson recently conducted a survey of 120 students at the college about what they thought of a series of Twitter feeds run by professors. The majority of students found the professors who mixed in personal details with their down-to-business tweets more credible—rating them higher on measures of competence, trustworthiness, and caring. Her theory: Students want to end the semester with a connection to their professors, not just a head full of facts.

  • Martha Borden on 19 Jul 11
     
    Ms. Johnson's survey findings has made me think on my own personal rule of keeping school and personal separate in cyberspace. Question still remains is: at what age is it appropriate for teachers to mix school and personal...middle school, high school, college?
