  • Technology continues to profoundly affect the way we work, collaborate, communicate, and succeed.
  • The digital divide, once seen as a factor of wealth, is now seen as a factor of education: those who have the opportunity to learn technology skills are in a better position to obtain and make use of technology than those who do not.
    • anonymous
       
      I like this quote. Once considerd a factor fo wealth is now considered a factor of education. That's a game-changing phrase if you agree with it. Wouldn't you agree?
  • Once seen as an isolating influence, technology is now recognized as a primary way to stay in touch and take control of one’s own learning.
    • anonymous
       
      In order for technology to enable students (of all ages) to take control of their own learning, what kind of tools must be open? Does YOUR school's network truly enable students to take control of their learning?

  • It gives students a public voice and a means to reach beyond the classroom for interaction and exploration.
  • They expect and experience personalized content in games and websites that is at odds with what they find in the classroom.
  • The “spaces” where students learn are becoming more community-driven, interdisciplinary, and supported by technologies that engage virtual communication and collaboration.
  • The ways we design learning experiences must reflect the growing importance of innovation and creativity as professional skills.
  • The way we think of learning environments is changing.
    • anonymous
       
      Is it fair to say that this is true - everywhere EXCEPT at school?
  • Technology is increasingly a means for empowering students, a method for communication and socializing, and a ubiquitous, transparent part of their lives

Test Today, Privatize Tomorrow - 0 views

  • But the word reform is particularly slippery and tendentious.
  • The clarity of language be damned: They come to bury a given institution rather than to improve it, but they describe their mission as “reform.”
  • It’s a very clever gambit, you have to admit. Either you’re in favor of privatization or else you are inexplicably satisfied with mediocrity.
  • there’s plenty of room for dissatisfaction with the current state of our schools. An awful lot is wrong with them: the way conformity is valued over curiosity and enforced with rewards and punishments, the way children are compelled to compete against one another, the way curriculum so often privileges skills over meaning, the way students are prevented from designing their own learning, the way instruction and assessment are increasingly standardized, the way different avenues of study are rarely integrated, the way educators are systematically deskilled .
  • To that extent, even if privatization worked exactly the way it was supposed to, we shouldn’t expect any of the defects I’ve just listed to be corrected.
  • Making schools resemble businesses often results in a kind of pedagogy that’s not merely conservative but reactionary, turning back the clock on the few changes that have managed to infiltrate and improve classrooms.
  • ut an attack on schooling as we know it is generally grounded in politics rather than pedagogy, and is most energetically advanced by those who despise not just public schools but all public institutions.

  •  
    This site provides Activity types for various content areas. If you click on each of the active content links you will see that a variety of activitie types are identified as well as types of technology that could be used to facilitate that activity.

Protecting Kids Online - 7 views

  •  
    This is a link to the site for The Center for Schools and Communities. I am linking this site to our district web site. the video "Protecting Kids Online" has some really good information for parents to be aware of and think about with regard to their child's use of the Internet. In addition, the video has kids sharing real life situations that they found themselves in with regard to the Internet. If you have trouble getting parents to come to you, maybe you would be interested and taking this to the community like we are. We are posting questions that came with the copy of the video. If you would like to see the video user's guide that goes with the video, let me know and I can sent it to you.
  •  
    I am going to be putting this link with this video onto our district web page. It provides lots of good tips for parents and students and also has kids talking about real internet issues they have encountererd.

BBC News - Is it time to defend our rights? - 3 views

  •  
    We are on the verge of building so many restrictions into online activity that the creativity, inventiveness and sheer joy of life on the net will be squeezed out just to ensure that over-hyped comedians are able to censor videos of their fans waiting for the show to begin. This is not the way forward, but if we do not act now then it will shape the internet that we offer to the billions waiting to get online and change the world.

10 Technology Enhanced Alternatives to Book Reports - TheApple.com - 15 views

  • A bookcast is a movie trailer-like audio review of a book
    • anonymous
       
      Again, what's the essential question for the unit? Does this advance the understanding of that EQ?
  • Students can add photos, video, audio and text to their timeline to support telling the story sequentially.
    • anonymous
       
      A re-telling of the story. That's it. Does that get beyond the Remembering level of Bloom's?
  • Wikis are an excellent place for students to share book reviews.
    • anonymous
       
      Yes they are. And if a teacher is looking for aplace to allow kids to post the titles and reviews of the books they're reading, this is a good option. I guess it's an alternative to a book report, indeed.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • After students read a book, they can create their own book talk using a web cam or video camera.
    • anonymous
       
      This WOULD be fun, but I doubt that most schools would let their children use the webcam and post their images online like that.
  • Students can create a slideshow summary of their book with pictures, audio, and text. Other students can leave text, audio, or drawn comments on the book reviews.
    • anonymous
       
      This sounds like it's for the younger students, as well. And, it really all depends on the assignment, doesn't it? What are they to be talking about? A story summary, or more?

More Schools Embrace the iPad as a Learning Tool - NYTimes.com - 3 views

  • less costly options, like smartphones

  • paying for their iPads through federal and other grants,
    • anonymous
       
      Doesn't ANYONE question the wisdom of this?
  • “You can do everything that the iPad can with existing off-the-shelf technology and hardware for probably $300 to $400 less per device,
    • anonymous
       
      Agreed. But it's NOT the smartphone

  • About 5,400 educational applications are available specifically for the iPad, of which nearly 1,000 can be downloaded free.
    • anonymous
       
      I wonder how many applications are available on the web - for FREE?
  • “It has brought individual technology into the classroom without changing the classroom atmosphere,”
    • anonymous
       
      OK - THis one is beyond screams. It makes me ANGRY!! Can you believe this? And this guy probably gets paid more than you do!
  • “It’s not about a cool application,” Dr. Brenner said. “We are talking about changing the way we do business in the classroom.”

      Not according to Mr Curtis., He want this because it WON'T change what you're doing in the classroom. This is just SO absurd to me.

Straight from the DOE: Dispelling Myths About Blocked Sites | MindShift - 1 views

  • Accessing YouTube is not violating CIPA rules

      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
    • anonymous
       
      This one dirves me NUTS!! Even in the SUMMER some tech folks won't open up the filter and just block the porn.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Schools will not lose E-rate funding by unblocking appropriate sites.
    • anonymous
       
      Then, if this is the case, ANY filtering beyond the Porn sites should be considered Censorship, IMHO
  • Teachers should be trusted.
    • anonymous
       
      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."
