Author: 'iGeneration' requires a different approach to instruction | eSchoolNews.com - 62 views

  •  
    Today's middle and high school students learn much differently from students just a few years older-and that's mainly because they've never known a world without the internet or cell phones, says psychology professor and author Larry D. Rosen, whose research could give educators valuable insights into the needs of today's learners.

One-to-one computing programs only as effective as their teachers | eSchoolNews.com - 67 views

  • Not surprisingly, the researchers say the most important factor of all is the teaching practices of instructors—suggesting school laptop programs are only as effective as the teachers who apply them.

      I wish more schools would value staff professional development before they launch 1:1 programs. PD is the number one success factor and little to no PD is done to make sure teachers are successful.

Will $99 Moby tablet swim or sink? | eSchoolNews.com - 35 views

  • In Turkey we are about to start 1 to 1 netbook for 15.000.000 students with $ 7 per month installments for 36 months through credit cards. I knew technology would change until we complete to provide 15.000.000 netbooks. So I will write to Marvel. We can finance them, we can buy the first 1.000.000 netbooks at $ 120 per piece. I hope quality and functions are as they say . Hurra, education complainers. It is time to go online courses for 60 million USA K12 students. You have no excuse now.
  • We have dealt with Tablet PC before in one of our Smart School initiatives here in Malaysian and I must say the Moby Tablet is quite impressive.

Obama to push for new ed-tech agency | Featured Funding News | eSchoolNews.com - 44 views

  •  
    Another federal agency with powers of the purse over education. Yeah, that's what we need.
  •  
    The very next entry in Diigo, (after this one about a new ed-tech agency) was an article about Victoria, Australia providing iPads for every student. Some of the classrooms in my school haven't even a single computer for the 27 students to use. Somebody needs to provide the leadership to help the U.S. keep up with the rest of the world. If it is a fed agency, so be it. Iit's better than what we have now (at least in my state) which is nothing.
