  • Teaching students to contribute and collaborate online in ways that are both safe and appropriate requires instruction and modeling, not simply crossing our fingers and hoping for the best when they go home and do it on their own.
  • "Now more than ever, students need teachers who can help them sort through choices, apply technology well, and tell their stories clearly and with humanity."
  • Among our authors' guidelines for promoting the skills crucial to using social media well: Value reading and writing more than ever; Blend digital, art, oral, and written literacies; and Teach students to search, evaluate, summarize, interpret, and think and write clearly.

  • As a result, the way we communicate, read, write, listen, persuade, learn from others, and accomplish community actions is changing. Or, as someone said when we were planning this issue of Educational Leadership, "Literacy—it's not just learning to read a book anymore."

  • If you're faced with an expert saying, "They need to know this," ask a simple question: "Armed with this new knowledge, what can learners do differently than before?" Get your SMEs thinking in terms of new skills, not new knowledge.

      April H. on 29 Jul 09
       
      I find this is even true within the Master's courses I develop. Even though our students need the knowledge, they also need to be able to apply it in practical ways. SMEs lose track of that easily because they cannot see the trees for the forest. Our job as instructional designers is to ask the right questions and focus our SMEs so that we can design courses that include both the knowledge and skills that students need.
  • But valuable mistakes only happen when we maintain an appropriate level of challenge.
    • April H.

      We learn from our mistakes and it should be no different in e-learning. While designing a course, we should be aware that learners will foul up and take advantage of those teachable moments. The course/game/learning experience should be designed so that it is safe to make a mistake and learn from it rather than be punished for it.

  • So digital textbooks could widen the gap between rich and poor.

      This is true. In our district, about 7% of the students do not have home internet access. Most of these students live far from town/library and don't have transportation to get to the access points.
  • A large portion of our kids don’t have computers at home, and it would be way too costly to print out the digital textbooks

      You wouldn't print them. Hard copy textbooks are already available. You would not need to buy a lot of them. Seems like it still would be cheaper in the long run. Especially, when you consider the cost of updating information.

  • Part of our job is to teach students to use technology responsibly," he said. "If a student writes something inappropriate, you don't take away his pencil. You teach them about consequences."

      It seems that many of our ideas have more to do with making our jobs easier as opposed to educating!

      Students are using this technology outside of school anyway. Why not let school be a safe place where they learn how to use it appropriately.

AUP filter

  • What we’ve decided is that we will no longer use the web filter as a classroom management tool.  Blocking one distraction doesn’t solve the problem of students off task – it just encourages them to find another site to distract them.  Students off task is not a technology problem – it’s a behavior problem. 
  • We know that the best filters in a classroom or lab are the people in that lab – both the educational staff monitoring student computer use as well as the students themselves.
  • This opens up possibilities for students and staff using websites for instructional purposes that in the past were blocked due to broad category blocks.  It requires that staff and students manage their technology use rather than relying on a third party solution that can never do the job of replacing teachers monitoring students.

Top 10 eLearning Predictions for 2010 : eLearning Technology - 37 views

  • The tools we use in life have leapfrogged over the ones we use at work. Business’s lingering love of bureaucracy, process, and legacy technology has fallen completely out of sync with what people need to do their best.

      Budget shortfalls prohibit purchasing newer technology or upgrading, but if we could tap the "cloud" and if web2.0 sites were unblocked in our district, older technology wouldn't be as much of a hindrance. There's too much paranoia about security.

Does Diigo save websites like Furl.net did? . . - 2 views

If websites changed their URL's, Furl would follow them to their new addresses and you would never lose them. Diigo bought out Furl, but do they offer this same service?
