    States of Matter. Basic but includes a video, interesting changing states of matter game, a song, and a journal for students to print out and complete. Journal is basic but could glean much information about what the students learned from the WebQuest.

    For second grade on Ancient China. Students use links to learn about cultural aspects and then develop a time capsule, making items based on the link's articles. Cool art-related/hands-on idea. Process section a bit hard to figure out at first, links are in small font.

Digital Literacy Includes Learning to Unplug - NYTimes.com - 1 views

  • The new digital divide isn’t between children who have access to computers and devices and those who do not. It’s between kids whose parents are saying “turn that thing off” and those whose parents don’t limit their access — because they don’t know how, or because they’re not available to do it.
  • Instead of closing the achievement gap,” said the author of the Kaiser study, “they’re widening the time-wasting gap.”
  • The F.C.C. is considering creating a “digital literacy corps” to teach productive uses of the computer and Internet to students, parents and job seekers

    A problem lies also in the time wasted on technology. Education needs to include WHEN to use technology for learning purposes.

    Thank you for sharing the original article, very interesting and well written! What a difference in time wasted per day. I would agree with your ideas of why that might be. So I certainly think a digital literacy core could be a helpful and useful investment! I also think education for parents is just as important as students to learn to use the Internet to learn new information and be creative.

  • Teens share considerably more information online than their parents and, as a result, expose themselves to more risk
  • The encouraging results suggest that American parents and teens are actively managing their online reputations—and with an eye toward good digital citizenship

    Mostly relating to secondary students; however it is important to learn what older students (those that will impact our younger students) are doing with technology and knowing they want to maintain good online reputations.

    Neat site that offers digital citizenship quizzes for students and resources for teachers. It appears that teacher resources require a free account but student resources do not.

  •             A digital citizen is one who knows what is right and wrong, exhibits intelligent technology behavior, and makes good choices when using technology.

    Awesome first sentence that could be used in an elementary school classroom in the beginning of the year to define a digital citizen.
