    I would hate to see tenure changes made that would punish teachers for poor test performance by students. There are too many factors that play in to how children perform on tests that are completely unrelated to the classroom.
  • John Racki on 03 May 10
     
    I agree Shandra. Teachers do not get to decide the quality of the students they will teach.
  • Desiree Haislett on 05 May 10
     
    This is going to sound stupid but what is teacher tenure? Is teacher tenure like when a teacher has been teaching at the same school for like 20 years and has a lower chance of getting laid off verses someone that has only been teaching like a year?
  • John Racki on 08 May 10
     
    Teacher tenure is basically job protection.

    This article is about a year old, but it is still very interesting because technology has progressed the ability for students with exceptionalities to participate within mainstream classrooms. Students who in the past were forced to only learn in specialized environments are now able to communicate and work in mainstream classes due to assistive technologies and other computer programs that fall under universal design allowing all types of students to learn from.

    This is a short article on Cyberbullying. It highlights that cyberbullying is more invasive than "convential" bullying due to the fact that students do not get a break from it on evenings and weekends.
  • John Racki on 25 Apr 10
     
    I have to admit I am quite surprised cyberbullying is as high as 10%.
  • christopher phillippe on 25 Apr 10
     
    Yes, 10% of middle schoolers being cyber-bullying is a lot of kids experiencing the dark side of social technology.

    Technology is ubiquitous, touching almost every part of our lives, our communities, our homes. Yet most schools lag far behind when it comes to integrating technology into classroom learning. Many are just beginning to explore the true potential tech offers for teaching and learning.
  • Lori Lacey on 11 Oct 13
     
    I like incorporating various forms of technology into science lessons, like exploration and sites that have a web cam for viewing things that we couldn't access on a field trip.
  • Alyson DeWitt on 18 Oct 13
     
    I agree with Cody. Why is it that schools are lacking in the technology department when it effects our lives so much?

    This article just makes it clear that the use of I-CAN is really a great tool for classrooms. This tool makes it easy for children to communicate with others and be independent with their own projects. It allows creativity and that is something we need more of in the classrooms.
  • Bailey Berry on 03 Oct 13
     
    I think the I-CAN technology seems really neat. It's like out Blackboard at oul but it also has job opportunity postings and is more tuned to the professional side of college students.

    My son who is in the 7th grade disagrees with the evaluation of Study Island. He finds it to be boring with crude graphics. The one benefit to Study Island however, is a student can practice from home if he or she choses to.
  • Shandra Smith on 25 Apr 10
     
    I have spent many hours with students as they work on Study Island, and I believe that they aren't as enthusiastic about the program as adults are. What I have noticed from the teachers is that Study Island is a good babysitter and a way to kill time. I'm not so sure I would give the program credit for boosting test scores.
  • curtis McFarland on 25 Apr 10
     
    I have had nothing but bad experiences with study island. Much like many things, the idea is better than the reality. Even though the system "times out" when the computer senses the student is guessing, the students just take a ten second break then get right back to guessing.

    I also enjoyed the visuals, and that is a reason I believe technology is improving the classroom. Good visuals, along with audio, it makes the lesson more interesting.

    I think the assessment part of the article can be very helpful for teachers. If teachers have time to use software and programs to calculate grades and keep track of student progress that would save time and be very helpful. this could help parents, as well. Sometimes schools provide things like that for teachers to use.

    I would have loved to have all the technology we do now when I was younger. Kids can "travel" across the world without leaving their seats. They can meet and interact with new people from various regions. Technology has changed the way kids learn.
