    Although this article is meant for college students, it applies to younger students as well. The reason many college students don't know how to research effectively is because they weren't previously taught. I highlighted the five that I think would be most beneficial, and truly imperative really, to teach students before assigning research based papers, projects, etc.

    since all creative work can be considered as a derivative of something an author has experienced (studies, reading, traveling, his friends' lives, etc); Free Culture is really just acknowledging it and providing society with the same rights.

      I love this idea! My MSN was through WGU, which is online and competency based. This is for me the best way to learn. I can spend as much or as little time as I need to master the material and then move on. I was not limited by others pacing or forced to drag a course out to fill a prescribed time period. If only all education could be like this! *gazed wistfully off into space, dreaming...

      This may be true in many settings, but I teach nursing and I cannot imagine trying to be too flexible with the nursing education. Some aspects of it can be online, simulations, and so forth, but information must be delivered from the top down in this instance for the most part. Students must master certain skills and concepts, and they must meet a specific timeline in order to graduate. In addition, they must pass the NCLEX in order to become licensed. Our students must perform on the job or our grads will not get hired. So, I completely support the idea of open entry open exit, non time based, competency based education! But, as with all things, we must recognize the limits of different models and technologies and apply them wisely to get the most possible out of our efforts.

    This website has a lot of useful articles on technology in the classroom and it is quite easy to browse and read whatever is of interest to educators. I use Diigo with my classes for bookmarking news articles which students can later use to write their economic commentaries for International Baccalaureate Internal Assessment.

Seven ways mobile phones have changed lives in Africa - CNN.com - 0 views

mobile phones technology in education cell Africa

shared by Buffy Naillon on 16 Sep 12 - No Cached
  • ON An NGO in Uganda has teamed up with mobile phone companies to create a database for refugees to register their personal details. Nokia
  • Nokia capitalized on the growing popularity of social networking in South Africa to launch MoMath, a mathematics teaching tool that targets users of the instant messaging platform Mxit. Mxit is South Africa's most popular social media platform, with more than 10 million active users in the country, the company says. The potential for transforming the continent's dysfunctional educational system is immense, as mobile phones -- cheaper to own and easier to run than PCs -- gain ground as tools for delivering teaching content. It is hoped that mediating education through social networking will help reduce the significant numbers of school-age African children who are not receiving any formal education.

  • What about developers? It’s really easy to add Apple iAd advertising to iPhone or iPad apps. You just need to add iAd.framework and put iAd banner onto your screens. Also developers need to make advertisement agreement with Apple in Developer Portal. Then you need to set up your advertisement setting, specify excluded word and that’s it – wait for revenue! :)

    While it is interesting for me to see what is expected to be coming down the pipe in 2012, it's also moderately depressing to compare where my current school is to where things should be going. We're already miles behind and with the current financial woes in the district (and the state), I don't see how things are going to get any better. We have a tech charter high school that has expanded to include 7th and 8th grade. I know they are getting resources and professional development, but among the rest of us, the only innovations are coming at the hands of educators who are seeing it on their own. There is no money. No district support. No recognition of the fact that our kids are being left behind.

  • In 2009, a Chinese manufacturer, Sichuan Tengzhong Heavy Industrial Machinery Company, announced that it would acquire Hummer, pending government approvals, but later withdrew its bid.[1] On February 24, 2010, Reuters reported that the Chinese ministry of commerce had prevented the deal,[2] although a ministry spokesperson denied rejecting the application, which had been stalled for eight months.[3] At the end of February, General Motors announced it would begin dismantling the Hummer brand.[4]

      Sale was only pending at the time. Sale had collasped before the end of 2009. Not really sure why that is pertinent as Chinese technology far surpasses us currently and certainly is superior to the archaic Hummer.

Education Week: Parents See Social-Media Benefits for Children - 0 views

education parents benefits children

shared by achraf Touati on 31 Aug 12 - No Cached
  • More than half of the 728 parents surveyed thought social media made their children more open-minded.
  • Of the parents surveyed, 71 percent believe that 13 is the right age to let their children use Facebook. Christophersen said that’s usually the right choice.
  • Lynch ruled out Facebook for her children until they hit high school. Internet browsing is restricted to G-rated sites and cut off altogether after 9 p.m. and on Sundays. Cell phones cannot charge overnight in the bedroom. That keeps her children from texting in the middle of the night. “I feel like I’m alone,” she said. “There aren’t many people that have a plan like this in place.”
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Parents often falsely assume that schools monitor their child’s social media accounts daily. “With nearly 29,000 students,” said Olathe School District spokeswoman Maggie Kolb, “that would be nearly impossible.”
  • Parents have been surprised to learn that school districts are greatly limited in how they can respond to complaints. Often, the offending Tweet or Facebook post happens outside school. The district will get involved if a threat is made that could disrupt or directly impact the school day.

    "Many parents think that social media made their children open minded" according to a very recent survey. This article also discusses a very important issue: online bullying among children)and are the schools doing enough to prevent this issue.
