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

www.techlearning.com/Default.aspx

shared by Karen DeBaldo on 17 Jan 12 - No Cached
  • 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!

  • Over time, I realized that I had become a technology mediator of sorts, someone with a pedagogical background, who helped guide faculty and students as they faced decisions regarding technology use in the classroom.

      This school is using technology to help the students but supporting the students is their main role at The Philadelphia School in Philadelphia, PA.
  • Last year I left the art classroom, devoting myself to helping other teachers and students mindfully navigate the use of digital technology in classrooms throughout the school.  I remain less a techie than an educator who keeps the students – not the technology – at the center of all we do at The Philadelphia School.

ADHD education

shared by shelby doane on 17 Jan 12 - No Cached
  • ADHD is in epidemic proportions in our children. While this may sound like a panic statement it is not intended to incite panic. It doesn’t even have to be a crisis, except that children with ADHD test the educational system at every turn. And the educational system is failing these children. Our answer to this seems to be to blame the students, medicate them, and insist that they continue in the system that is not equipped to handle them.
  • This is the dilemma facing may schools today. Institutional school settings are based on a model of children from a different era. Children today, even those without ADHD, seem to be wired differently from the students of one hundred years ago. From a very early age we bombard them with stimulation. Before a baby can even turn over by themselves they have music, lights, and sound in their cribs, in the form of toys, mobiles, and stuffed animals that make noises or lullabies. By the time they are toddling, many of their toys make sound, light up, or move.

    My brother has severe ADHD. I don't believe the flashing lights and such of toys really play into how easily distracted ADHD students are. Noises such as a drop of a pencil can distract them which probably happened 100 years ago just now we're more aware and educated with mental health.

  • What will be the impact of the Deaf Child's Bill of Rights on my child's education? An outcome of the Deaf Child's Bill of Rights is that your child's IEP (Individual Education Plan) will be directly affected by this law in the form of a "Communication Plan". The Communication Plan is the document referred to in the rules that contains an action plan that the IEP team (especially parents) has created to address specific areas of a student's social and emotional development. All too often, IEPs do not thoroughly address, if at all, these critical areas of growth for a child who is deaf or hard of hearing. The Communication Plan creates a mechanism for having conversations and taking action where gaps are identified in these areas. And the Communication Plan will serve as a quality control monitor, making sure that a more comprehensive, qualitative view is taken of each child's experience in school.

  • What is the Deaf Child's Bill of Rights? In May of 1996, the General Assembly approved Colorado State Law 96-1041, The Deaf Child's Bill of Rights. The Bill, sponsored by Representative Mo Keller, who is an educator of the deaf, was strongly supported by parents of children who are deaf or hard of hearing, and members of the deaf community. With its passage, program options for deaf students in the state of Colorado have been strengthened and preserved. In light of numerous states nationwide that have eliminated program options in favor of full inclusion models, the passage of 1041 is considered a victory indeed for deaf and hard of hearing students who benefit from options.

  • shows that teachers can change the trajectory of their students' lives. Students of capable elementary and middle school teachers not only have higher standardized test scores, they are more likely to attend college, have a lower incidence of high school pregnancy, and earn more as adults.
  • As the global economy quickly changes, countries that can stay ahead in areas such as engineering, chemistry, and technology will be the most competitive. Yet, the hard sciences are among the most challenging subjects for even the best instructors to teach. Worse, Education Trust studies have shown that troubling numbers of math and science teachers never studied the subjects they are teaching.
  • An increased emphasis on good teachers who can provide high quality math and science education should be a top priority for America's educational community and our political leaders. This is not just for the sake of raising standardized test scores, but because we understand the direct correlation between mastering essential subject matter and the success of our students and the country.

      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.

  • "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."

      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.

Tech in science class

shared by kayla sowers on 18 Jan 12 - Cached
  • 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.

  • 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...]
