  • We don’t leave our students alone and expect that they will figure out the disciplines of science, maths, English, etc. We guide them through each of these disciplines, educating them on the principles that work and help them gain knowledge and learning as they negotiate their way through the many ideas and directions made known to them.
  • Why is it, then, that schools expect students to work out effective digital strategies on their own
  • We need to help our students develop the skills and processes to negoitate their way through safely and effectively using the option that are available today and for the future developments.

    I love Rhondda's reflections on digital citizenship. She makes very profound, reasonable arguments as a teacher in the trenches and she has my vote 100% on what she's saying!!

  • Managing these virtual classrooms can be quite difficult
  • Baab advises teachers of virtual classes to be very consistent. “Set up a structure and stick with it,” she says. “Maybe it’s creative and colorful to change things every day, but then a student has to learn their ‘classroom’ all over again.”

  • Last month, district officials investigated an e-mail from an unidentified "concerned parent" that included pictures of a woman clad in only a bra and underwear. The photo allegedly was taken from a Sunrise Elementary teacher's MySpace page. The teacher was not identified, and the photos did not show the woman's face.

    Teachers have a different standard. It is fascinating to read this newspaper article and also the responses. Our students on Flat Classroom project and Digiteen will be reviewing this information because teachers are held to a higher standard online.

    Net neutrality is an important issue being addressed by the US government right now to prevent companies from sort of creating their own version of the Internet. These rules are supposed to keep things "open." I'm also sending these to my digiteen students (you can follow digiteen at http://www.twitter.com/digiteen) and Flat Classroom students (http://www.twitter.com/flatClassroom) for work on their project.

    Net neutrality deserves a mention in the Digiteen project and is an important topic being debated here in the US.

  • Many American classrooms are almost indistinguishable from those that students' grandparents attended.  Twenty-something students still sit in desks facing the front of the classroom, with textbooks, listening to a generalist teacher.
  • A new perspective is needed.  Americans need to consider the fundamental question:  How can we most effectively teach kids the skills they need? 
  • Traditional schools may be best for some students, while others will thrive in moire high-tech learning centers. 
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Parents can augment or even replace their children's traditional school experience with programs from companies like K-12.  This service allows parents to enroll children in virtual schools or purchase specific curriculum.  Traditional materials—worksheets, books, and other physical materials—are combined with online resources, including multimedia presentations. 
  • If We Can Change the Way We Communicate, We Can Change the Way We Educate
  • Steve Jobs' passing last week encouraged Americans to consider how technology has transformed our lives.  Fueled by the creative genius of men like Jobs, new technology has emerged allowing us to better keep in touch with friends and family, access entertainment and information, and perform work from home or wherever we happen to be at that moment.  While we've successfully integrated technology into our workplaces and personal lives, we've been comparatively slow to apply technology's power to other areas of life, like education.  That needs to change.

    "Inevitably, though, they listen - and they learn." I've found that using popular music in lectures also increases my credibility among students. They see music as their territory, and are often surprised when a professor understands something they are familiar with - or think they are.-ProfHacker Personally, I think this is really cool that teachers are branching out this far just to reach us and help us learn. Some music might not be appropriate for listening to in the classroom for a subject, so that means you would have to take time and experiment. These 4 characteristics will help you realize how just how helpful doing this could really be: Vocabulary. Music can help start discussions about language use and get students thinking about the way we use words and phrases. Imagery. Music videos offer an entrée into such things as gender and social roles, fashion and sexuality, not only through sound but through the accompanying images. Cultural references. Popular songs allude to many elements of popular culture, providing a means to explore current events, celebrity culture, politics and the boundaries of taste. History. Today's music evolves from yesterday's music, which evolved from previous music in the past. Finding those connections can be eye-opening.

    "Wamogo infusing more technology into education- The Register Citizen ""Students are driving the learning,"" LITCHFIELD - You may have heard of No Child Left Behind, but have you heard of no child left offline? Ricky Campbell talks about the technology innovation is the classroom at Wamogo Regional High School. Technology has inspired students to pay more attention to learning and reaches them in more of their way. Principal William Egan states, "Students are driving the learning." He means that because of all the help the web brings, and having teachers that know how to use it, the students are able to create their own ways to study, learn, and do assignments."

There's a good reason her name comes up: flat connections are actually choppy connections."
