    The purpose of the survey was to ascertain the level of awareness and openness to mobile learning among English language teachers. I also wanted to find out to what degree and how teachers were already using mobile learning both in their teaching and and professional development and to establish whether they would be willing to pay for and use mobile content. The survey also collected information about the teachers' existing access to mobile services and the kinds of device they are using to get access to mobile Internet.

    This video is funny and does a good job of questioning why we care about rote memorization. Why isn't it good enough just to go and look up information? Why must we scold ourselves if we don't have it memorized? Has some great applications to educational debate today and where technology fits.

  • I would say that they primarily need protected from themselves… that they need help moderating their web presence until they understand the full ramifications of things they say online.  I don’t think that means they need to be anonymous.  I do think that anonymity tends to foster less responsible behavior, in both children and adults alike

      Hear hear! Boogeyman tactics don't work. Educators and parents should be online, modeling the sort of digital citizenship we hope for our children and students - the kind that will keep them safe.
