    It helps to broaden horizons by connecting and matching people with others who wish to learn a language such as English. This is beneficial because it gives the opportunity to match up with Native speakers when learning another language for you as well and giving activities to learn based around grammar, vocabulary, and conversational language skills.

8 Ways Technology Is Improving Education - 0 views

    • John Shaw
       
      This is a very true statement. For the younger generation is becoming more in to the world of computers.
  • Technology is helping teachers to expand beyond linear, text-based learning and to engage students who learn best in other ways. Its role in schools has evolved from a contained “computer class” into a versatile learning tool that could change how we demonstrate concepts, assign projects and assess progress.

    How Technology is slowly changing the ways we use classrooms now of days. Is this good or bad for our students today?

Why Use Technology in the Science Classroom? | Education.com - 0 views

  • As Ediger’s (1994) studies on Technology in the Elementary Classroom have revealed, applying technology in the classroom does several things to student learning: (1) It increases interest even in rote tasks; (2) it provides purpose for learning; (3) it can attach meaning to an ongoing lesson; (4) it provides opportunities to perceive knowledge as being related, not isolated bits; (5) it allows for individual student differences; and (6) it can affect students’ attitudes toward learning.

Mathematics Education Resources on the Internet - 1 views

  • "leading center for mathematics and mathematics education on the Internet" and without any reservations I would agree that its coverage of math education is excellent. It contains a seemingly endless number of resources for teachers, students, and mathematicians in support of its mission to "enrich and support teaching and learning."
    • Lindsay Mullen
       
      Not just resources for teachers, but also for students and others that are interested in math. I like how the goal is to enrich and support teaching and learning. That is vital for education.
  • This guide is designed primarily for the mathematics educator, whether in the role of teacher or as the student in a college education program. The majority of resources included here focus on primary and secondary education, but many may easily apply to college level. Librarians will also find the databases, reference tools, and the biographic sites helpful. Because the number of Internet sites covering mathematics education is so vast, a guide to the most essential ones is useful.
    • Lindsay Mullen
       
      Really gives a variety of options when it comes to looking at and choosing sites for resources.
  • Sites with lesson plans are numerous, but the links listed below are good starting points because they lead to specific lessons.
    • Lindsay Mullen
       
      Also very useful to be able to go directly to these sites and develop ideas for lesson plans. Probably especially helpful for first year teachers.

STOP cyberbullying: Preventing cyberbullying - 0 views

  • Educating the kids about the consequences (losing their ISP or IM accounts) helps. Teaching them to respect others and to take a stand against bullying of all kinds helps too
  • Unfortunately, there is no "one size fits all" when cyberbullying is concerned
  • When schools try and get involved by disciplining the student for cyberbullying actions that took place off-campus and outside of school hours, they are often sued for exceeding their authority and violating the student's free speech right. [Learn more...]

  • Parents need to be the one trusted place kids can go when things go wrong online and offline. Yet they often are the one place kids avoid when things go wrong online

- 12 Most Useful Ways Kids Can Learn With Cell Phones - 1 views

  • We live in a world that is increasingly mobile. In order for adults to connect with our kids and students, we need to mobilize. Kids love their phones, they are highly motivated to use them (constantly), and they always have them right there with them (if they’re allowed). What a strong basis for an educational tool: empower students to use tools they already own as a means for better education!

Making Mathematics Come Alive With Technology - 0 views

  • Technology can serve at least four roles in the teaching and learning of mathematics. Specifically, technology can aid in (1) mathematical concept and skill development, (2) mathematical problem solving, (3) mathematical reasoning, and (4) mathematical communication (Kimmins, 1995; Kimmins and Bouldin, 1996).
