World Without Walls: Learning Well with Others | Edutopia - 6 views

    • Benita Van Der Wel
       
      Important note about whether we actually do students a disservice by supposedly sheltering them from the big, bad online world, or whether we miss a valuable learning opportunity to help them learn how to use the resources effectively, efficiently and safely.

  • the work we create and publish is assessed by the value it brings to the people who read it, reply to it, and remix it

      Digital posting are assessed by their worth, by what they bring to others (good or bad). What a radical new way of assessing material !!

  • In fact, we need to rely on trusted members of our personal networks to help sift through the sea of stuff, locating and sharing with us the most relevant, interesting, useful bits. And we have to work together to organize it all, as long-held taxonomies of knowledge give way to a highly personalized information environment.

      Sounds like the role of the TL to me.
  • But it does suggest that we as educators need to reconsider our roles in students' lives, to think of ourselves as connectors first and content experts second.

      The classroom teacher as guide on side rather than sage on stage.
  • Who is this person? What are her passions? What are her credentials? What can I learn from her?

      Just like they should authenticate a website, students should verify the quality of an online learning partner.
  • How do we manage our digital footprints, or our identities, in a world where we are a Google search away from both partners and predators? What are the ethics of co-creation when the nuances of copyright and intellectual property become grayer each day? When connecting and publishing are so easy, and so much of what we see is amateurish and inane, how do we ensure that what we create with others is of high quality?

The Importance of Digital Citizenship in Social Media | Edutopia - 1 views

  • When you are presenting social media and digital responsibility, don't lecture your students on why it is bad to post inappropriate pictures on Facebook, but have them search for examples. Allow the students to not only find examples of inappropriate use, but also allow them to teach each other. Even though they have a Facebook account, do they really understand all that comes with Facebook? Do they understand their privacy rights on Facebook and other social media sites? Did they read the fine print?
  •  
    "While students and teachers alike are anxious to integrate new learning tools into the classroom, we must err on the side of caution. It is our responsibility to empower our students by giving them the fundamental lessons in digital citizenship. Like basketball, students must enter the world of social media and digital media with a good defense. They must understand the repercussions of irresponsibly using social and digital media and what affects it may have on their future."

  • Some educators say the social-media bans in schools are overkill and privacy fears have overshadowed the positive educational opportunities social media can offer students.
  • It is known, too, that students also access social-networking sites and post to them during class time via mobile phones or by circumventing the network blocks.
  • ''Ineffective policy is to ban use; prohibition has never worked,''
  • doesn't matter how impoverished a young person may be, they will have access to social networks daily, they find ways to get online through public libraries, internet cafes, at their friend's house or on their mobile
  • Common advice for teachers is to be familiar with privacy settings on social-networking sites, perhaps maintain a private and professional account (although this is not permitted on Facebook) and to set a search-engine alert for their own name, so adverse mentions can be detected early and dealt with.
  • So can, or should, a teacher be Facebook friends with a student?

    "Schools have had to act fast to try to manage the widespread use of Facebook and other social media by students and teachers"

Expert insights into education for positive digital footprint development - 1 views

  •  
    Abstract: Children and young people are spending more time online. Face-to-face interactions with friends are being supplemented with digital communication. Australian children are particularly prolific users of the internet (Green et al, 2011). This online activity creates digital footprints. Digital footprint refers to the information and data that people generate, through purposive action or passive recording, when they go online (Thatcher, 2014). Digital footprints now play a role in people's employment and educational opportunities (Black and Johnson, 2010). In this context not having a digital footprint can be as serious as having a badly managed one. One way to address this is for schools to explicitly teach students how to develop positive digital footprints that will help, rather than hinder, them in the future.
