  • 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.

  • 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.

    I firmly believe as a child of a very "nosy" mother, that I is the parents duty to keep their children in check, but I do not agree with this! If you don't trust you child enough to NOT read their messages, then maybe they don't need one! All this does is give them doubts of your trust, they will feel as if you are invading their privacy, and will be deleting things constantly. Parents need to understand that trust works both ways. This conversation is going to be award and neither the parents nor the child wants to have it, but you need to. It's one way of protecting your child without destroying their trust and doubting yours! Quotes: "I routinely check the texts and photos on their cell phones," says Susan Kain." "let's all talk to our children about Internet safety, social networking sites and "sexting."

    Phones send waves of radiation. About five billion wireless subscriptions world wide, which is given by WHO's estimate. Long-term exposure to the the electromagnetic fields (EMF), which cellphones communications create, has been given attention to by researchers. In May of this year, the WHO's International Agency for REsearch on Cancer found that the evidence was too inadequate to make any conclusions about risk. Many studies have been done, but no solid proof has been found. Another study was done on a case of glioma, a type of brain cancer, and acoustic neuroma,, a slow-growing non-cancerous tumour in the inner ear that results in hearing loss. Although the group found the evidence also lacking. however, the evidence was significant enough to warrant classifying radio frequency electromagnetic fields as "possibly carcinogenic to humans." WHO places this in a category known as 2B. Mind, coffee and pesticide DDT are also classified as "possibly carcinogenic to humans." Placing calls rather than emailing or texting has been proved that the risk is higher since the radio frequency energy is higher. Even though the evidence is limited, many countries advise children especially should limit their use of cellphones. The United Kingdom, German, Belgium, Israel, Russia, France, Canada, and India are all included. James McNamee, division chief for health effects and assessments in Health Canada's bureau of consumer and clinical radiation protection, said, "There has been relatively little science done on children and children's cellphone use, and children are going to be using these devices for a much larger period of their life span. Their brains and immune systems are still developing." Health Canada said cellphone users may take practical steps to reduce exposure, such as: Limit the length of cellphone calls. Replace cellphone calls with text messages or use "hands-free" devices. Encourage those under the age of 18 to limit the cellphone use.

    "Taking a trip with always-on digital devices can be like traveling with your safe -- and forgetting to lock it. Connecting to the Internet over Wi-Fi hotspots in airports, hotels and cafes is an irresistible activity for business and casual travelers. But sending sensitive information over the air on an unsecured network is risky computing behavior, said Kelly Davis-Felner, marketing director for the Wi-Fi Alliance, a global nonprofit industry association." People have to be careful when traveling to places and using unsecured internet.

    Grimes, a internet awareness specialist, has a point! Many careless teens are going on sites such as Facebook and putting things up on the site they aren't going to be able to fix when they decide they regret in! These teens are making careless mistakes that could effect how their life turns out in the future! We need to be careful about what we put on the internet! Being your child's friend on Facebook allows you to view what you need to see without breaking trust with you children! Its a win for both! Quote: "The best thing we can do is teach our kids what the pitfalls are," he explained during his Internet Awareness presentation. "What your kid posts at 15, it is going be searchable when they are 25, 35. Our kids are making mistakes for the whole world to see." "Grimes advised parents to be their child's "friend" on Facebook(NOTview through their child's page, because that would show lack of trust in your children) and see what they are posting online =. Parents should look at their child's "friend" list and find out how many are actually known and not claiming to a friend of a friend. When children are young, they are told not to talk to strangers, however with social networking the warning does not always get followed. " "Cyber Bullying is not a technology problem, it often involves friends or former friends hurting one another. He described Cyber Bullying as a small version of what terrorists do - try to alter lifestyles - in these cases those of individuals or a small group."

    The University of Texas at Austin found in accordance with the WHO study in May 2011, released a tentative warning suggesting pragmatic measures to reduce exposure when using radiofrequency electromagnetic power-emitting devices near the body. "The evidence, while still accumulating, is strong enough to support a conclusion… that there could be some risk," wrote Dr. Jonathan Samet, chairman of the WHO's working group on the subject. "Therefore, we need to keep a close watch for a link between cellphones and cancer risk."

  • Teen Safety on the Internet More and more teenagers are logging on to the Internet every day. Although the Internet is a great source for research projects and other information, there are also dangers involved with surfing the Web. For example, a study conducted in 2000 found that 25 percent of kids 10 to 17 years of age received unwanted pornographic material.The Web allows you to be completely anonymous. Someone who says that he is a 15-year-old boy may actually be a 50-year-old man pretending to be a teen for inappropriate reasons. As a result, agreeing to meet in person with someone you met over the Internet is extremely dangerous, as this can result in sexual assault or even murder. How to Stay Safe on the Internet E-mail Safety Chat Rooms Assessing a Web Site Blogging How to Stay Safe on the Internet Never give out personal information, such as your name, home address or phone number, the name of your school, pictures, credit card numbers or the names of your parents without permission from your parents.Do not meet in person with someone you met online. Do not give out your password to anyone.In chat rooms, use a name that is not gender-specific so you are less likely to receive pornographic material or other forms of harassment. If you do receive pornographic material, report it to your local police department. Back to top E-mail Safety
  • Do not open links or files from people you do not know.Never respond to e-mails with pornographic or other inappropriate material.Do not respond to advertisements -- this confirms that you have a working e-mail account, and you will only receive more junk e-mail.

  • World Wide Web enables one to access volumes of information, earn graduate degrees on-line, submit mortgage applications, procure countless goods and services, and communicate instantaneously on a global basis. The increased use of technology in education is accompanied by concerns about technology's role in education.
  • One study by the Center for Applied Special Technology has shown that students with on-line access scored higher in the areas of information management, communication, and the presentation of ideas. According to one article the use of instructional technology offers great promise in helping "students become independent, critical thinkers, able to find information, organize and evaluate it, and then effectively express their new knowledge and ideas in compelling ways" (CAST, 2000).
  • In the CAST study the results revealed that students using on-line communication became more confident carrying out and presenting a research project over the course of the study.

  • The use of technology has also been beneficial for individuals with disabilities. I have personal knowledge of a young man with A.L.S. who slowly lost his ability to communicate verbally and used the computer as a communication tool. Later as the disease progressed he utilized additional technology which allowed him to use his eye movement as a type of input device.
