    This is the 2010 National Education Technology Plan summary.  While very broad, it does "Encourage states, districts, P-12 programs, and postsecondary education institutions to experiment with such resources as online learning, online tutoring and mentoring, games,  cognitive tutors, immersive environments, and participatory communities and social networks both within and across education institutions to give students guidance and  information about their own learning progress and strategies for seamless completion of a comprehensive P-16 education."

      I do not agree that children should have computers in their rooms. I feel that there are way too many opportunities for bullying and questionable sites for children to get into. If the computer is in a public location we can monitor to make sure the programs the children are going into are good sites.

    Well, I am younger and I always had a computer. When I was younger the computer was in my moms room. I think that was because we were young and barely knew how to work it. We also lived in an apartment. When we got a house we had a computer room. My mom would come in when she wanted and it didn't matter if the door was open or not. As my sister and I got older we did what we wanted and our mom really did not care. I think it is more about how you raise your kids. It is also important to remind parents that their children are going to have certain experiences whether they like it or not. Some things in life and on the internet all kids do whether it is bad or good and once you do it you get over it and move on to the next thing. I would let my teenagers have a computer in their room and I want my children to know they can be open with me. I am open with my parents and I tell them everything because they are pretty cool parents and do not hassle be about much so I feel comfortable.

    This article is informative and is up to the parent, their situation , their child and what circumstances you have going on in your home on answering the question of the article. I really liked the article and the views in it.

    I grew up with a computer in my room. I would use it to create things in paint and to play my educational games on. I do not think that having a computer in your child's room is a bad thing. it allows for the children to get used to how to use computers. This article gives different view points on this topic and gives good evidence to support the sides.
  • Kelsey Short on 02 Oct 13
     
    I think for a child to have a computer in their room at home depends on the age and maturity of the child. Some children would just sit around all day on their computer on facebook, playing World of Warcraft, or other unproductive activities. If the purpose of the computer is mostly for educational uses or the child is old enough to make their own choices then it would be fine to have the computer in their room.
  • Bailey Berry on 03 Oct 13
     
    I didn't have a computer in my room but I was really the only person to use it besides my mom. she used it for business and emails and i used it for paint, educational games, and pinball. If I had had it in my room I can only imagine I would have spent more time on it. I also agree that having a computer in the room of a child is dependent on age and maturity but it almost seems as if in today's society children need quick access to the internet and age or maturity isn't a huge factor. But this is coming from a girl how didn't get a Facebook until she was nineteen. So i shy away from introducing social networking to younger kids but now that I've seen some of the school controlled networks, I think they could be beneficial and having a computer in their own room would probably make them more comfortable using it.
  • Laura Chapman on 03 Oct 13
     
    personally I don't think children should have computers in their rooms. If they are going to have one, I think they should have them in a centrally located spot where the child can be supervised. However that is my opinion and I liked how this article talked about it being case by case, and depending on the child and or the parents, and the intended use of the computer.
  • Sarah Clark on 03 Oct 13
     
    I agree with Laura that children should not have computers in their rooms, it should be located where parents can actively see what their children are doing. But I did like how the article highlighted about the dependence on the family situations.

      Important knowledge that is gained in the classroom is learning to communicate in person. Students will learn by the teacher's example, along with their interactions with peers within the classrooms.
  • By its very nature, technology changes at a fast pace and making it accessible to pupils, teachers and other stakeholders is an ongoing challenge.

    Create great looking avatars for your website or social network. This website is great for middle childhood students. It allows the students to make little avatars. It can be used for books or just for fun. If using it for a book one can take a character out of his or her own book and create an Avatar for that character.

  • amber alexander on 20 Jun 13
     
    I think we should connect school to real life. Students do not like school because they feel like they will never need it in real life. Instead of making school boring teachers should be as creative as they possibly can while fitting in the core standards. It will make our 8 to 9 hours days more exciting and our jobs easier because most students will WANT to be involved instead of being forced because their guardians put them on the bus that morning.
  • Carley Morrison on 26 Sep 13
     
    I think this article was important because it gave examples of how technology helps relate students to the real word. Most students struggle with learning because they do not see why they need to know this. But by connecting curriculum to real life situations through technology, students will be more willing to learn.
  • Kelsey Short on 02 Oct 13
     
    This article really reflects my standards of education. I enjoy the constructivist layout of these classrooms. I feel as if children do miss out on education when all they learn is test and textbook information. I like the idea of creating something unique and originally because this seems more real world applicable.
  • Rachel Longnecker on 03 Oct 13
     
    This article was interesting and it had some good examples of doing an assignment in a more active way. These ideas and use of material could make things interesting and spark a lot of creativity. I like doing making videos and other things, even though it is really stressful. It just makes school fun along with getting your required standard material.
  • Bailey Berry on 03 Oct 13
     
    I liked how this article talked about students doing and creating things with meaning. Now just a bunch of activities to put in the "Friday Folder", but actual experiences that they can relate to real life and really learn something.
  • Sadie Moser on 03 Oct 13
     
    I know when I was in high school, my class always wanted to know how we were going to use our learning in the real world. More often than not, the teacher told us that we would not use the learned skill outside of the classroom. This kept many of the students from caring about their work or learning. I think to keep students excited about learning, it should relate to the real world.
  • Eddie Johnson on 04 Oct 13
     
    I like how this article talks about relating school work to the real world. I think this would help students bring knowledge of the world into their school academics.
  • Debbie Voight on 25 Oct 13
     
    Reading this article made me get excited about the possibilities of teaching with creativity and application. I agree with the author when she wrote, "I'd rather know that my kids were creating something of meaning, value, and I hope, beauty for people other than just their teachers, and that those creations had the opportunity to live in the world. That they were thinking hard about audience. That they were learning how to network and collaborate with others. That they were developing "proficiency with the tools of technology," learning to "design and share information for global communities to meet a variety of purposes," and becoming literate in the process. Real work for real audiences is, of course, hard to find in the current standardized testing regime." I could not have said it better myself! It seems that employers are looking for people who possess the quality of "working well with others". This new integrated classroom setup would allow for so many different learners to excel! Incredible article!
  • Megan Fout on 21 Nov 13
     
    I enjoyed this article but also disagreed with it due to the fact that it is not possible for most students to complete some of these because they may not have access to a computer. They are great ideas but you have to look at your students before making it an assignment.

  • students use Pinterest as part of a “social photography” assignment
  • assigned students in a “writing for the web” class to produce stories for their Doing It Downtown blog to use Pinterest as a curation tool for visuals, while using Storify for social media and Spotify or LastFM for music.
  • “I teach Pinterest as a visual ‘SPACE,’”
  • S is for sourcing story ideas and trending topics; P is for promotion and publishing students’ work. A is for aggregation of pictures (with suitable copyright); C is for curating top news, and E is for engaging with others.”
  • Pinterest is not without its drawbacks. Not all students, especially males, find it equally intriguing
  • But the big issue some are warning about with Pinterest has to do with its copyright policy regarding the images users pin.
  • Lawyer and amateur photographer Kirsten Kowalski likened it to Napster due to the liability its terms of service and copyright policies create for users of the site
  • Pinterest issued a statement on March 15 suggesting that, like YouTube and other social media sharing sites, it is “protected under the safe harbor of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (PDF),” and also tries to respond promptly to any copyright violation concerns.
  • Kellie Demmler on 26 Apr 12
     
    Looking to add visual interest to your lesson? Pinterest may be your solution! The article suggests ways in which this visual social media site can be used in the classroom and promotes SPACE - an acronym that helps students to remember the "best" uses for the site. This is interesting in terms of reaching students with varied learning styles and intelligences, developing creativity and higher order thinking, and more. However, like most tools the site does have its downfalls. It tends to be more engaging for females than males, which brings about an interesting gender debate. Its use also falls into fuzzy copyright issues - none of which are different from other social media sites. Check out the article & let me know what you think!
  • anonymous on 16 May 12
     
    Until Pinterest addresses the nudity and pornography that can pop up on the "everything" catergory, I can't recommend this site for class projects. I've banned my own children from it (both of my daughters have a board on my own account) and wish desperately that I could unsee some of the images I've seen. It seems like copyright might be the least of their worries if lewd content continues to surface. It's really too bad - I have to agree that it could be great for group or individual projects.

  • In the case of 3D printers, physical models of fossils or proteins or molecules or other objects can be whipped up on the fly, allowing students to interact with them. In the case of virtual and remote labs, schools that lack resources to buy costly equipment will be able to fill in the gaps with less costly alternatives, allowing students to engage in experimentation, even if that experimentation isn't direct.

  • In the longer term, four to five years, the two technologies identified in the report were 3D printing and virtual and remote laboratories.
  • I the mid-term, NMC identified learning analytics — the use of data and analytics to customize education for individual students — and open content (also known as open educational resources) as significant technologies that will impact education. The report characterized OER as essentially the opposite of cumbersome, expensive, and quickly outdated textbooks.
  • To recap, the report's authors identified five key trends impacting education over the next five years. Those included: An increasing shift toward blended learning, online-learning, and technology-driven collaborative learning; The growth in the potential of social networks to allow teachers to engage students online; Openness of educational resources and technology is "becoming a value"; BYOD is becoming more common as the cost of technology drops for students; and The role of the educator is being challenged as resources become more accessible on the Internet.

    It is obvious that the hype for technology in classrooms is important, but the article does well to say that technology for students isn't the only important aspect to the new tools for students. Teachers need to know how to incorporate the technology into their teaching so that it isn't JUST the technology the students are learning from.

    This article addresses a lot of concerns and questions with technology in education. It talks about schools that have a device for every individual student as well as the challenge of students bringing their own devises from home. It also reiterates that teachers are very important in leading this shift into a more technological classroom and school environment and how teachers can learn also from each other and students.
