Educational Leadership:Literacy 2.0:The World at Our Fingertips - 0 views

  • Teaching students to contribute and collaborate online in ways that are both safe and appropriate requires instruction and modeling, not simply crossing our fingers and hoping for the best when they go home and do it on their own.
  • "Now more than ever, students need teachers who can help them sort through choices, apply technology well, and tell their stories clearly and with humanity."
  • Among our authors' guidelines for promoting the skills crucial to using social media well: Value reading and writing more than ever; Blend digital, art, oral, and written literacies; and Teach students to search, evaluate, summarize, interpret, and think and write clearly.

Development - Is the 140 character 'micro interaction' enough? | Delta Publishing - Eng... - 0 views

  •  
    Twitter could not possibly be further away from the concept of a computer game or a three dimensional visually rich virtual world. Suddenly instead of learning to fly and exchanging our money for Linden bucks (the currency of Linden Labs' Second Life) we were exchanging grammatically correct sentences for status updates of less than 140 characters! Who could have seen it coming? Perhaps Gartner, who also predicted that "90 Per Cent of Corporate Virtual World Projects Fail Within 18 Months".

Check out the infographic below for more indepth data on being a teacher. (Source: Masters in Teaching

  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Scare tactics
  • one-size-fits-all approaches to Internet safety are "analogous to inoculating the entire population for a rare disease that most people are very unlikely to get, while at the same time failing to inoculate the population that's most at risk"
  • Instead of teaching students to be afraid of what others can learn about them online, let's teach them how digital footprints can quickly connect them to the individuals, ideas, and opportunities that they care most about.
  •  
    Great piece by Bill Ferriter (@plugusin) on the tension between helping kids create a positive, empowering digital footprint and the use of scare tactics to dissuade them from being active online - Two diametrically opposed paradigms.

Convert to Cartoon ; turn your pictures into cartoons ~ Educational Technology - 0 views

  •  
    Convert to Cartoon is a cool website to use with your students . It converts your photos and images to cartoons . It resembles Be Funky , the tool I have covered in a poste entitled Be Funky ; Create Amazing Classroom Photos . Convert to Cartoon is very simple to use and does not require a sign up . Students love cartoons and teaching using cartonic materials is quite engaging and motivating for our kids . Now you can let your students use their own pictures and turn them into cartoons to create dialogues and storytelling lines . I have tried the website and found it very interesting .
