Students Can't Handle Technology, Says Report | Technology | Epoch Times - 0 views

  • Three key areas are addressed in the findings: technology can help teachers address individual needs and steer students toward proper resources; technology can help prepare kids for life and work in the 21st century global economy while enhancing knowledge and skills valued by employers, but not usually noticed by standardized testing; technology can help shift responsibility for learning back to the student, allowing them to personally organize their own learning process.

    "But we did find that technology can be used effectively to personalize the learning experience when it is part of a larger student-centered learning plan and when teachers are involved in helping them make the most of it."

TeachersFirst - Building Schoolwide Literacy With Free Web 2.0 Tools - 0 views

  •  
    TeachersFirst offers this model for elementary (or middle) schools to build skills in reading, writing, speaking, and listening systematically in a schoolwide model including students, teachers, and parents. The free web 2.0 tools suggested here are by no means the only tools that might work. These exemplary tools were chosen by the TeachersFirst Editors for ease of use and versatility in classroom and home use, and could easily be implemented at grade levels other than those suggested here. As students and teachers master a new tool at each grade level, they develop rich literacy skills and vital technology skills, all in the context of reading, writing, speaking and listening across the curriculum.

Fostering Thinking, Creativity, and Digital Citizenship Through Blogging | middle schoo... - 1 views

  • Each week, I require students to pick one of Jim’s Big Questions and write a 2 paragraph post about it.  They can respond by simply answering the question, creating a narrative story about the question, connecting the question to current events, or using a real life example to make a connection.  Some examples of the questions are: When do you feel most free? Why do we sing? When is it better not to know? Who is the real you?

    Hi Sheri! Great tips on using Diigo! I am getting started. When you say comment in the "webpage" do you mean on the page of the original post or right over here? I love how the annotations show up under the article, that works really well for me as often I want to save very specific information and this saves time of having to search through entire posts to find it again!
