The Best Guides For Helping Teachers Develop Personal Learning Networks | Larry Ferlazz... - 11 views

  •  
    "Personal Learning Networks (PLN) is the phrase often used to describe connections that educators develop with other educators throughout the world by using online social media. I've previously written more specifically about how ESL/EFL teachers can best create this kind of network, but I thought it would be useful to bring together a broader collection of resources that could be used as guides by any educator."

State's graduation exam passes latest test - 4 views

  • The regulation calls for the state to provide 10 end-of-course exams, beginning with English literature, Algebra 1 and biology in 2010-11, with other English, math, science and social studies subjects being phased in through 2016-17.
  • School districts would be required to count the exams for at least one-third of a student's final grade or districts could use other options, including validated local assessments or Advanced Placement exams instead. Districts also could set up a project for students who failed exams.
  • Opponents of the exams told the regulatory commission that the testing program would cost too much to administer and be unfair to otherwise good students who perform poorly on standardized tests.

  • We understand the system now,
  • Some have said that the exams would discourage students who have a hard time taking tests and would prompt them to drop out.

      What do you think of that concern?
  •  
    This is HUGE. There will eventually be ten end-of-course exams, each counting for one third of a student's final grade. Some will argue that this means that there will be no time for "21st Century T&L" concerns. Others will argue that those concerns are exactly what are needed to ensure true mastery of the subject. Where do YOU fall in that debate?

      But, I really CAN understand if a district doesn't have the bandwidth to support it being open to all on every computer. But why not in the library, at least?
  • Websites don’t have to be blocked for teachers

      This one dirves me NUTS!! Even in the SUMMER some tech folks won't open up the filter and just block the porn.

      Then, if this is the case, ANY filtering beyond the Porn sites should be considered Censorship, IMHO
  • Teachers should be trusted.

      Can I hear ANOTHER Amen?
  • See the excerpt below from the National Education Technology Plan, approved by officials who dictate E-rate rules.
  • Kids need to be taught how to be responsible digital citizens
  • Broad filters are not helpful
    • anonymous
       
      Amen!
  • [We need to] address the topic at school or home in the form of education,” Cator says. “How do we educate this generation of young people to be safe online, to be secure online, to protect their personal information, to understand privacy, and how that all plays out when they’re in an online space?”
    • Michelle Eichelberger
       
      Exactly!! I wish I could get this through to our district and make this a priority!
  • We also want students to be nice to each other, and not to engage in bullying, in an online space where their voice is amplified and persistent. We want students to grow up to be good digital citizen.
    • Michelle Eichelberger
       
      We need to be proactive in this, not always cleaning up the "mess" once cyberbullying has taken place.
  • requires providing professional development for adults working with these students.
    • Michelle Eichelberger
       
      This is so necessary.

    "To clear up some of the confusion around these comments and assertions, I went straight to the top: the Department of Education's Director of Education Technology, Karen Cator. Cator parsed the rules of the Childrens Internet Protection Act, and provided guidance for teachers on how to proceed when it comes to interpreting the rules. To that end, here are six surprising rules that educators, administrators, parents and students might not know about website filtering in schools."
