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 :)

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 !

Addressing Youth Homelessness, The Oasis Film & Study Guide - 0 views

  •  
    This film and study guide represents a substantial effort to tackle youth homelessness in Australia. With an estimated 22,000 homeless youth every night, the urgency of the problem is undeniable. The study guide helps students understand the issue of youth homelessness and offers instructions on how to "add your voice" by making a documentary about homelessness in your area -a very worthy application of ICT skills. "Make a change and take action" is the exhortation of the film maker. Links to Civics and Citizenship ideals here. http://www.theoasismovie.com.au/education/documents/OASISREVISEDJAN2010.pdf
