Google Jockeys in the Classroom | Powerful Learning Practice - 1 views

  •  
    I had to smile when I saw this link come across my desk today (via a Diigo group I follow).  What a coincidence (or fate?) This is one way Google docs could be used in your future classrooms and this is what our Rockingham students did in a very small way today. They started their journey as "Google Jockeys" by adding their own notes about the dscussion questions to the tutorial plan.

Internet Safety | Life & Risk Taking for Teens - 2 views

  • Internet Safety | Life & Risk Taking for Teens
  •  
    C.R.A.P. Test C: Last reviewed nearly 4 years ago might not seem like a long time, but in the world of technology, a lot can change in regards to how things work. R: Despite the years, the information seems reliable and not particularly opinionated. A: Three student level Authors signed their names on this document as well as being reviewed by someone with a Ph.D. in 'adolescent development'.​ P: Litte to no opinion, not trying to sell me anything other than the idea that the internet is a dangerous place.

Digital citizenship for kids and teens | Raising Children Network - 10 views

  •  
    I found this resource very helpful and quite comprehensive. I especially liked the Cyberbullying acronym G.E.T R.I.D. I think this concept would make a great poster to hang on the wall of my classroom when I am a teacher. It passes the C.R.A.P test (Gold, 2010) as it is current being copyrighted from 2006-2016 so I would assume it is updated quite regularly and relevant for the topic. It is reliable because it is supported by the Australian government, Murdoch children's research institute and the Royal Children's hospital in Melbourne among others. The media collaborator is the ABC and it has won quite a few awards. There are no advertisements so I do not think there is any agenda and the information is not really biased in any way, it is quite factual and informative rather than opinionated. One negative that I found was that there are a few statistics mentioned but no reference to what study these statistic come from, making me wonder how reliable they really are. All in all a brilliant resource for understanding the concept of digital citizenship and cyberbullying. Thank you for posting it!

    I also found this site great - lots of hyperlinks to take you on a researching journey! It's one of those sites you could spend ages digging through, its also easy to read and well formatted. The above comment was actually what triggered my interest, which is interesting in itself - I guess the more attention something has the more interest it gathers...a good way to explain internet safety to students :)

    I agree, this website is great. I've found it really helpful in my research and it passes the CRAP test :)

    I totally agree with previous comments, this has been very helpful for me as I research information on digital citizenship ;)

    ""There's this prevailing voice in education is that we need to keep testing kids and fix education with big data. But I think you see a mindset in the film that's more about engaging and inspiring kids. And if there's anything I'm passionate about it's that if we just engage and inspire our kids, they'll do great things.""

    "In a post I recently published entitled Become a Green Screen Wizard with the Do Ink App, I discussed why this resource is one of my favorite apps and included an student generated example from a first grade classroom. This time I'm going to take this article one step further and provide you with the training materials I used to roll out the Do Ink app to teachers in my district"

    Thank you Jenni. What a great idea! I can see this providing hours of 'edutainment' for the kids.

  • One teacher showed me the blog of a fifth-grade girl who had recorded an assignment to show her knowledge of the parts of a plant. She did so by recording herself teaching a first-grader and answering the first-grader’s questions. In P.E., fourth-graders have recorded gymnastics routines so they can watch what they looked like and decide how to improve.

Education Week Teacher: Redefining Instruction With Technology: Five Essential Steps - 0 views

  • Instead, I focused on student-creation apps. Moving beyond replacing paper math games with flashy math apps, students are now creating their own math videos, writing math blogs, and conducting challenge-based-learning math projects.
  • Embrace failure. Last year gave me an invaluable lesson in celebrating failure. When the iPad integration didn’t go as I’d initially hoped, I had the rich experience of reflecting and restarting. I teach my students to evaluate their own incorrect math strategies to better appreciate the beauty of one that works. Similarly, I had to fail—and take a good long look at that failure—to truly understand why what I'm doing now works. To be honest, I know that I still have a lot of room for improvement. I'm sure I have more failure in my near future and I can’t wait.
  • So if you begin to implement a new app in your classroom and it falls flat, react by asking yourself what you’ve learned. Welcome your students into this culture of learning from adversity. By creating a safe, open environment and by being clear that this endeavor is as foreign to you as it is to them, you encourage risk taking—and greater achievements.

    Excellent article about redefining existing teaching practices that we can learn from. ipad app that it mentions might also be a useful student creation tool for assign 3a - e.g., moving away from traditional PowerPoint !

Could Checking Facebook in Class Help Students Focus? - Education - GOOD - 2 views

  •  
    There is a programme I have heard about called something like 'self-control'. Apparently it allows a student - or their parent - to lock a computer out of a site for a specified period of time, such as 60 minutes, to help the user exercise self-control and get their homework done. Has anyone else heard of this? It would be very welcome in my house!
  •  
    Hello Angela I haven't heard of this before... but a Google search turned up this info - http://visitsteve.com/made/selfcontrol it sounds like what you are referring to. You might want to check it out :)

    I think I would use this for myself! I always end up shopping or on facebook when I'm trying to study!
