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.

The Cognition Laboratory is a part of the Human-Automation Integration Research Branch at NASA Ames Research Center. We conduct research which involves modeling the human operator in human-machine systems and experiments on normal human perceptual and cognitive processes. Current modeling efforts focus on the task of the human operator in Air Traffic Control. Experiments range from basic to applied. All experiments are administered via computer, with participants watching the monitor and answering by using the keyboard or mouse. Examples of experiments include attentional control, dual-tasking, and the detection of conflicts in an Air Traffic Control display.

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.
-
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.
-
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.

A Fistful of Challenges for Ed Tech -- THE Journal - 5 views
-
But the No. 1 challenge in ed tech, according to the report, is with teachers themselves and the inadequacy of their preparation and ongoing training.
-
Does this surprise you?
-
differentiated instruction for teacher training - all our teachers get the same PD - with our without access to technology - yawn. -
We stress to our students that they need that 21st Century Skill to 'learn how to learn.' Perhaps we need to re-invigorate our teachers and administrators with that idea as well. -
Just had this discussion with a teacher today. She was telling me she is an auditory learner and doesn't learn well in a large group setting. I said we don't do with our adult learners what we say should be done with our students. I try to accomodate different learnning styles when I work with teachers.

"The challenge is due to the fact that despite the widespread agreement on its importance, training in digital literacy skills and techniques is rare in teacher education and school district professional development programs," the report said.
-
And, I would add, that the training is designed to teach the skills and not the pedagogy for using those skills in class. Teachers still see this as an aside to their job of teaching the content for the purpose of scoring high on the tests.
-
-
The third critical challenge cited by the authors was the failure of both technology and teaching practices to meet demands for differentiated, personalized learning.
-
And this SHOULD be easy, no?

In the fourth slot was nothing short of the "fundamental structure of the K-12 education establishment," specifically, as the authors described it, "resistance to any profound change in practice."
-
Whoa! What do you think of this?
-
I think it's spot on. The big change our administration is pushing for is a new lunch schedule. Although it would be better for our students, he has met resistance...from the cafeteria manager, who claims it will cost more in labor for her. -
We always deal with this - we are one of the top high schools in the state so, why mess with excellence?
-
-
The authors said that as long as the thrust of education support is on maintaining the existing system's "basic elements," meaningful change will face resistance.
-
The lack of congruence between what students are learning outside of school and what they're being taught in the classroom is causing a disconnect in educational practices.

"Yes, we turned Office into a game! If you're going to spend time immersed in the inner workings of Office, by golly it should be fun. In Ribbon Hero 2, the player will hop on board Clippy's stolen time machine and explore different time periods. With each time period, they get to explore a new game board with challenges they must complete to get to the next level. Each challenge takes the player into Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or OneNote to complete a task. Discover new Office features by actually using them, with a hint button to fall back on in case you get stuck. Race for a high score with colleagues, classmates and friends, or even put your score on your resume to show off your Office skills! "

"If you're in higher education and you're developing a strategic plan or making investment decisions based on conversations you're having with the students currently in your classrooms--or even high school students--you're talking to the wrong audience," she warns. "You really need to be talking to third-graders. The high school kid applying to your school today is just not as 'native' as the kids further down the pike."
-
Excellent point, would you agree?

"It is how they perceive [the web] that makes them different in my opinion," he explains. "Many older people use the web, of course, but for digital natives the web is an integral part of their lives. They go there first, instinctively. And yes, some are better at it than others. I definitely agree that there is a continuum of capabilities among the digital natives. But if we are talking about what makes them different from previous generations, I believe it is this connection to the web."
-
If the difference is in whether or not they go to the web 'instinctively' then I think this guy just disproved his own point. MOST of us to to the web instinctively.'

She says this group of learners is more globally aware, thanks to the internet, and more adept at collaborative uses of the web.
-
And this definition has NOTHING to do with age.

"This generation definitely has a thematic approach to learning," she says, "which is not about, 'I'm a vessel--go ahead and fill me up.' It's about, 'I'm the master of my own educational destiny. Give me lots of input and I'll find what I think is most important.' Most of the [K-12] schools I talk to still believe that they are the custodians of knowledge. But for these kids, increasingly, [schools] are just one more source of input."
-
I LOVE this discussion. What do you think?
-
I think this is true. The educator has to teach the students how to know which information is important and how to make connections between what they know and what they are learning.

The problem with Prensky's assumption is that it's based on age--on the idea that, because you were born in a certain era, you must be a certain way
-
Amen to THAT!! :)
-
-
Another flaw in the eyes of some educators is the fact that Prensky labels everyone else as "digital immigrants," unable to achieve true fluency in the new tech world
-
Unable to achieve true fluency. BUNK! How many coaches did we have over the age of 50? (Who would admit it, that is.) :)

"I don't think the term was ever valid, or even very useful," she says. "It assumes that older people are worse than younger people when it comes to technology. And it seems to assume that all young people are homogenous when it comes to technology use. Neither of those things is correct."
-
What do you think of this? If you agree, did the original terms serve their purpose - in 2001?
-
-
"My work has shown over the years that there are, in fact, significant differences among people of the same age when it comes to the skill with which they use digital media--and that age is not necessarily a determinant of skill,"
-
I think you coaches display a LOT more of the characteristics of a Digital Native than many of your students. Agree? Disagree?

Nevertheless, Hargittai's study concluded that socioeconomic status is one of the most important predictors of how effectively people incorporate the web into their everyday lives.

No surprise here, is it?
-
-
They're digital dependent and digital stimulated. They know how to text messages and upload a video to YouTube, but in general they don't possess the deeper critical thinking skills they need to be truly digitally literate."
-
I like the terms digital dependent and digital stimulated. What do you think?
