    TeacherTube is a website for teachers and parents to visit to find videos on various topics. Users can search for video's based on subject and the video's are often rated on their quality.

    TeacherTube is a site for teachers to upload instructional videos for other teachers to view or for home learners. Members of this site are encouraged to make constructive comments, as if they were in a classroom listening to a lesson or in a meeting listening to a proposal. I thought it would be an effective way to use this website in a child-life setting. For instance, if a child was very ill and was contained to a hospital room, he/she could prevent from getting far behind in school by watching his lessons being taught online. This is a site I would recommend to all teachers, and the best part - it's free!

    Carepages is a site that allows individuals undergoing a health care challenge to connect with others going through the same experience. Families are also able to create their own blogs and websites where they can share updates with family and friends. Carepages provides support, community, and resources for anyone needing information and help during these trying times.Teachers can use this site to gain knowledge of conditions that might be affecting their students as well as by providing them with a way to check in on a student who might be in the hospital.
  • Annalise Walker on 01 Mar 09
     
    Carepages are a great way for families and patients to keep family and friends updated both in and out of the hospital. They would also be a great way for teachers and students to stay in touch with a friend who is in the hospital and missing school.
  • Jocelynn Smrekar on 25 Oct 09
     
    A website that connects patients during a "health challenge." This site, like CaringBridge, is for ill children and families and has information, discussion boards, and blogging. Although useful for a certain segment of the population, does it belong on techhome?

Fred Forward Conference: Breakthrough Technology and Media for Early Learning - 6 views

  • Maxwell King was blunt in assessing the ever-growing industry that churns out television shows, video games, Web sites and other media for kids: We don't need more crap, he told the audience at this week's Fred Forward conference. There's plenty of crap already.
  • Media products for babies, toddlers and preschoolers represent what is now a billion-dollar industry. How young is too young for TV and video viewing? What sort of shows and Web sites help children develop, and which ones keep kids from interacting with the real world? Combing through the thicket of mindless videos and slickly marketed characters to find the worthwhile educational elements is anything but easy.
  • One highlight of the conference: A chance to help shape the national guidelines about the role of technology in children's lives, which haven't been updated in 14 years. The NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children) has announced that they're revamping those guidelines this year -- a very necessary move, given that the technology and media landscape has changed so drastically since 1996.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • The audience offered up a long list of issues worth exploring -- everything from the role of technology in teaching children about emotion to the challenge of preparing teachers for tech-infused classrooms and even the environmental impact of high-tech toys.The guidelines will deal with the lives of children from birth to age 8. Conference participants agreed that the final position paper must take into consideration what a huge developmental range that represents.
  • Many speakers at Fred Forward pointed out that although Fred Rogers may not be here to advise us any longer, we can look to his wisdom to find some of the answers. Mr. Rogers knew, and demonstrated, that technology could be harnessed to educate and help develop young children's minds and spirits. But he also knew that sometimes kids need silence and space, freedom to explore the real world and a chance to move at their own pace.

    Jimdo allows you to make a free webpage. The homepage includes an instructional video with a brief overview of website creation. Overall the website is very easy to navigate. Jimdo can be used to create a class or teacher webpage. Photos or videos of class activities can be uploaded onto the webpage as well. The table creation tool could allow the teacher to create a class schedule for parents to access online.

  • Pasnik says she sees a lot of learning potential in these newer technologies. Tablet computers for example, offer repetition, portability and the possibility of learning with gestural movements, all of which hold promise for preschool students. She cautions that many of the apps being developed today place too much emphasis on academic skills and not enough emphasis on making things, discovering, sharing and turn taking. “We do a disservice to young children in attending to a very rigid and narrow sense of math and literacy and not really paying attention to the developmental needs of this age group,” said Pasnik. “The uptake of adoption here is far in advance of the research. But that’s not to say that we can’t be really thoughtful about what we do know about children’s development.”

      I think a lot of the applications out there are focusing too much on academics. I have one app called "toddler shapes" where a toddler--apparently is supposed to enjoy this application and learn their shapes. I have found this application to be much more developmentally appropriate for my preschoolers. My point is, that Pasnik is right, there needs to be more applications that help children explore..applications that facilitate inquiry.
  • Cate Heroman on 11 Apr 11
     
    I spent some time searching for apps for my granddaughter. I was disappointed to see that there was so many apps focused on letter recognition, number recognition, and shapes, yet not enough open-ended apps that encourage creative and divergent thinking. The iPad has so much potential, but if the software isn't appropriate, it will be of little value.

    #6. Glogster EDU- This is a great way to incorporate the school into the home. This program allows teacher to show caregivers what is being done in the classroom (i.e. uploading class calendars, posting students' projects, etc.). If teachers post educational practice links, students are able to practice certain skills learned in the classroom at home. This program also allows parents to connect with the teacher, it will allow parents and teachers to communicate via blogs.

    Wonderful that someone put together a list of the top ten tools for young children,their parents and teachers. Several sites would be helpful in working with young children or counseling are: 1. Wordle - students could create a poster of words they know and continue adding new words. 2. Yola - a user friendly software that allows teacher, parents, student to create a web site.to share information with others. 3. Blogs - the KinderKids Blog published class projects that could be view by parents or serve as means of communicating with classrooms around the world.

    Not that useful for parents and young children. You can create post-its but it seems like there are more effective ways to get your message to someone.
  • Kelsey Bone on 30 Oct 09
     
    I really like this website. I think think that it could be useful in classroom or with families. In the classroom it could be used to easily access information found online throughout the day or as a means of communication with parents to get their feedback on things that are happening in class. At home you could send a link to you "wall" to different family members and post different photos or even artwork that children have completed. The content that is posted on your "wall" is edited and maintained by the creator, which allows for creativity and monitoring. Overall this was easy to use and could really be a fun way for people to interact!
