All Passage Middle School classes will blog this year -- dailypress.com - 0 views

  • Passage teachers have been encouraged to create an account on Twitter, an online social networking site that limits each posting to 140 characters. Teachers will attend a morning screening of the movie "Julie & Julia" and "live blog" the experience with their Twitter accounts. Rogers chose the movie, based on the experiences of two real people, because one character uses a blog as an education and communication tool.

      Is Twitter blocked in your school? You HAVE to now ask WHY!!
  •  
    Imagine! And they, too, are following the CIPA laws - the same laws that some of our schools are using as reasons to BLOCK all blogs!

2009 Horizon Report: The K12 Edition » Key Trends - 1 views

shared by anonymous on 28 Apr 09 - Cached
  • 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.

      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

Study: Children Who Blog Or Use Facebook Have Higher Literacy Levels - 8 views

  • 57 per cent of those who used text-based web applications such as blogs, said they generally enjoyed writing compared to 40 per cent who did not.
  • Pupils who write online are more likely to write short stories, letters, song lyrics or a diary, the research revealed.
  • Even social websites such as Facebook, Twitter and Bebo are causing alarming changes in the brains of young users too, claimed neuroscientist Susan Greenfield. “My fear is that these technologies are infantilising the brain into the state of small children who are attracted by buzzing noises and bright lights, who have a small attention span and who live for the moment.

      Interesting, too, is the fact that the author is just 15 yrs old.

    "A research by The National Literacy Trust on 3,001 children from England and Scotland showed that schoolchildren who blog or own social networking profiles on Facebook have higher literacy levels and greater confidence in writing."

Live Binders - 5 views

  •  
    Create a "binder" full of bookmarked sites that then show up as tabs and sub-tabs. The binder gets one url to share. Nice way of packaging a collection of sites. Like this one about google: http://livebinders.com/play/play/3803
  •  
    According to the site - "do with digital information what you do with the papers on your desk - organize them into nice containers - like 3-ring binders on your shelf.:
  •  
    Your 3 -ring binder on the web. Very cool way to organize your info for the web. Would be interested to see how your teachers use it.

The Lesser of Two Evils & Mid Term Elections - 0 views

    • James Camry
       
      awesome article
  • Here’s the real question we need to ask these people. We live in America, so why do we have to vote for evil, period? Why is evil the only option on the ballot? What’s the point of democracy if it means rule by the people, represented by evil. The reason evil is the only option is because somewhere in our country’s history, the political elite decided that the masses are holistically retarded, and all voting issues should be limited to a color-coded choice between red and blue.

    With mid term elections coming up here's a good article to prepare us!

Maine Librarian's Pointed Budget Message Hits the Mark | Common Dreams - 5 views

  • Then along came Kelley McDaniel of Portland -- No. 48 on the day's speaker list.
  • She's a part-time librarian at King Middle School -- and a very good one at that
  • Talk about a teachable moment.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • She gave the whole five grand, after taxes, to her school. If you live in Portland, that's your school, too.
  • Maybe you're testing us, checking to see if we, your constituents, are really paying attention, really listening," she continued. "I hope that's what's going on, because the alternative involves me losing faith in representative government, in democracy and in you, the elected officials."
  • But as McDaniel gathered her daughter for the ride home to Portland, a proud young Aedin said she noticed something about her mother's testimony that she hadn't seen with the other speakers. "All of the people on the committee -- they weren't on their computers or looking at their papers while you were talking," Aiden told her mother. "That's because you were using your teacher voice." A teacher voice. Now more than ever, it's worth a few minutes of Maine's time.

Will the Real Digital Native Please Stand Up? -- Campus Technology - 1 views

  • "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."
    • anonymous
       
      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."
    • anonymous
       
      I LOVE this discussion. What do you think?
    • Michelle Krill
       
      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.

  • While Prensky's original definition might not survive close scrutiny a decade later--too generationally focused and without enough attention on how students use their devices--he was definitely on to something.
