  • Tabs are a way to open up multiple web pages at one time in the same window
  • you want to make sure you fact-check your statement. You want to open Wikipedia, but you can't do so without leaving Facebook, or opening a cluttered new window. Not to fret, that's what tabs are for.
  • File menu and click "New Tab"
  • No extra windows, no interrupted work
  • You can open as many tabs as you want at one time, and switch between them easily, making web browsing a whole lot more convenient.
  • just hit Ctrl+T. (If you're on a Mac, hit Command+T instead.

  • What we’ve come to realize more and more through major events — elections, major celebrations, breaking news events and tragedies — is that the two-screen experience is becoming more and more ubiquitous,” says Morse. “More people are interacting, watching while using their tablets and their iPhones, and we want to create the richest two-screen experience we can.
  • Most unusually, two-dimensional barcodes will appear on-screen throughout the day, prompting viewers with smartphones to scan the code to load additional CNN coverage on their smartphones.

Why Career & Technical Education Should Be a Priority for the U.S. [OPINION] - 0 views

edtech education career

shared by Carolyn Kraut on 11 May 11 - No Cached
  • Students enter a world cut off from their own where they are asked to turn off all electronic devices. They can feel trapped
  • At all levels, businesses need employees that are more creative, more technical, and more connected than ever. This means that technical literacy is no longer “nice to have,” but a requirement for success.
  • At the same time, a recent study found that 14% of employers in the U.S. reported having difficulty finding employees to fill high-skill positions, including jobs like technicians, sales people, office support, and skilled tradespeople.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • By placing so much emphasis on testing, the curriculum became centered around those tests. Since students’ day-to-day lives are vastly different from what they see on standardized tests, they have little context for the content they are asked to learn. The result: 21st century skills involving creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and communication are devalued or absent from classrooms.
  • immersing students in a specific career provides a stronger context for learning. Students can connect the rationale for learning new content to a career skill or objective. Instead of being viewed as a distraction, technology becomes a critical tool to give students 21st Century skills in creativity, critical thinking, and communications.

  • Moving to a discussion of how attitudes and habits apply to digital literacies, she uses Twitter as a tool that can be a "representation of what the Web seeks to be," namely a source of personal, customized, community-filtered data -- but only to the person who knows how to use it and approaches it with the right mindset.
  • Social media in education, according to Maiers, is "a mindset challenge, not a skill set challenge."

Online Courses, Still Lacking That Third Dimension - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • Those relationships — with humans in the flesh — help students to persevere. Online courses are notorious for high dropout rates.
  • There is something motivating about the student’s relationship with the instructor — and with the student’s relationship with other students in the class — that would be absent if each took the course in a software-only environment.
  • We should focus on having at least one great course online for each subject rather than lots of mediocre courses
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • What is sacrificed when classrooms disappear, the place where good teachers do not merely ‘deliver content’ to students but wake them up, throw them on their feet and pull the chair away? Where ideas can become intoxicating, where an instructor’s ardor for a subject or a dimension of the world can be contagious? Where scientific, literary, ethical or political passions are ignited?

  • I've helped with more computers in more schools than anybody else in the world and I absolutely convinced that is by no means the most important thing. The most important thing is a person. A person who incites your curiosity and feeds your curiosity; and machines cannot do that in the same way that people can. The elements of discovery are all around you. You don't need a computer.
  • Computers are very reactive but they're not proactive; they are not agents
  • What children need is something more proactive. They need a guide. They don't need an assistant

  • FERPA requires schools to maintain control over certain student records
  • medical information, social security numbers, and grades
  • Some people think that students cannot release any personally identifiable student information, but this is also not true
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • This is an important point if instructors require students to post to a blog, social networking site, or any other site not affiliated with the institution. In this case, “the activity may not be FERPA-protected because it has not been received and therefore is not in the custody of the university, at least until the student submission is copied or possibly just reviewed by the faculty member.”
  • FERPA applies only to information in the possession of the institution
  • When students are assigned to post information to public social media platforms outside of the university LMS, they should be informed that their material may be viewed by others
  • Students should not be required to release personal information on a public site.
  • Instructor comments or grades on student material should not be made public.
