  • If the technology is used solely as a content provider - for example, if iPads are used as alternatives to books - then there won't be any positive impact, he said.
  • "Where technology does have a positive impact is when it actively engages students, when it's used as a communication tool, when it's used for things like simulations or games that enable students to actively manipulate the environment."

    From the article: "Teens lag behind all other age groups in e-book adoption. Sixty-six percent of 13- to 17-year olds say they prefer print books to e-books, 26 percent say they have no preference and only 8 percent prefer e-books.  One reason for this resistance: Teens like using social technology to discuss and share things with their friends, and e-books at this point are not a social technology."

  • “I demand that my peers and inner city school kids have a fair chance at life, furthering their education like privileged communities,” she continued. “Give us the resources we need. Because there are children like me who give a damn about our future.”
  • “Kids who have straight A’s and are college bound, that’s because people have been there in their lives to show them the way,” she said. “For those students who aren’t doing well, it’s a process of talking and having conversations with those students. Ask them why is that student being distracted? Why is he doing that instead of doing work? With kids and with parents, sometimes you have to pressure them and push them. It takes a lot of patience but you have to have those conversations and monitor what that student does.”

    Educators from Skyline High School in Ann Arbor, MI discuss how they used Google Sites to streamline curriculum management and create a network of student portfolios.  Potential for use in CCS, where we have Google Sites as part of our closed CCS domain; students don't have to register for accounts like they did in A2.

    From the article: But South Korea, among the world's most wired nations, has also seen its plan to digitize elementary, middle and high school classrooms by 2015 collide with a trend it didn't anticipate: Education leaders here worry that digital devices are too pervasive and that this young generation of tablet-carrying, smartphone-obsessed students might benefit from less exposure to gadgets, not more.

    "Tweens value privacy, seek privacy from both strangers and known others online, and use a variety of strategies to protect their privacy online," write researchers Katie Davis and Carrie James, who conducted in-depth interviews with 42 middle-school students for the study. "Tweens' online privacy concerns are considerably broader than the 'stranger danger' messages they report hearing from teachers."

    Using the technology students are already using - like Twitter, Facebook, and cell phones - to extend educational opportunities.  A few good ideas for teachers who are just dipping their toes into the "technology" water, like "low-tech tweeting" and "physical Facebook walls."
