Kids do a lot better when schools ban smartphones - May. 18, 2015 - 105 views

  •  
    Rather than ban what should be a valuable tool in education, how about we teach the students proper usage of smartphones in and out of the classroom?

      it's a cultural change in how we have been thinking even if we thought ourselves to be tech heavy. Tools to manage: Diigo can help...big time...using it already at HS level - :)

    Speaking of cultural change, it is the first day of term break here, and I have just has a diigo alert that a student has commented on a page that I set as reading. She is behind, and needs reminding of the task. In the new culture of my classroom, my kids know that if they are working, so am I! I have my computer on anyway, and it only takes a moment to respond to her question. She's back on track.

Digital Media - New Learners Of The 21st Century | PBS Video - 103 views

  •  
    This is an excellent PBS video describing the needs and strategies for educating children to prepare them to function in the 21st century.

    I have to say, I watched this when it aired, and it was infuriating to me. Like most educators, I get really excited when there is talk of tech in the classroom. This video does not have a counter-argument. What I got from it was, "Hey, look at all of this cool stuff these schools are doing." I am ready for schools to take this approach. I am ready to go for it. However, I would like to see a documentary on the numerous hurdles to having education like this in the other 99.9% of public schools. Some of these schools get to hand-pick students, or are on a lottery system. How about the cost? Or the professional development? Or the inequity in public school funding? With a couple exceptions, all I could see were dollar signs when I watched this. Money that is not there, and won't be for some time. If you want to feel behind the times, inadequate about your teaching/pedagogy, or flat out jealous, this is the video for you.

      Make sure you are on the Weebly for Education site. I cannot say enough good things about Weebly. I used it to create my Tech Expo website and I have created a Web Tools For K-12 website also. It has an easy drag and drop interface making it completely user friendly. If you get 5 friends or co-workers to sign up under you they will upgrade you to a PRO account FREE of Charge!

Creative Educator - The Power of Play - 44 views

  • These characteristics are often found in classroom environments that lean toward student-centered and inquiry-based learning.
  • I have seen that as children spend more time in school they lose some or all of their natural comfort with learning through spontaneous, playful exploration.
