      My 11 yo son does this often in Runescape, now that I think about it. I can't begin to explain the skills he has picked up. Everything from mental math to negotiating to networking to understanding the way society functioned in many facets in Medieval Europe...

  • Technology threatens to reorder those behavior patterns
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • The first instinct is thus to graft technology onto preexisting modes of behavior. Hence PowerPoint slides replace the overhead projector, and the learning or course management system attempts to simulate an in-person classroom
  • As technologists, however, we have to realize that incremental change is the best we can hope for in many cases
  • That pace is dictated in large measure by their response to the Three E’s. We have to make them aware of the benefits realized through the effective use of technology. We have to make sure that the platforms they are forced to use are relatively easy to manipulate and conform in some way to the reality in which they exist
  • Technology of the Week” posters. We actually advertise some of the useful and interesting things that faculty can do with a particular technology. They can then go to the Curriculum Innovation Center or attend a workshop to learn how to use that technology.

      That is a great idea! Advertise then set up mtgs to teach others.

    This is a MUST read for all technology decision makers in Lutheran Schools! The Three-E Strategy for Overcoming Resistance to Technological Change If you just build it, they won't come-you need to shape users' behavior by acknowledging their world view rather than your own as a technology implementer

  • It was hard to keep away my oldest daughter, who is 12, so we could finish.   Taylor told her teacher what she did and asked if I could bring in my Lap Top to show her. She asked if I would show the whole class as well.

  • Sketchup is remarkably user-friendly! Technology in the classroom is a great tool... it motivates students, stimulates learning, and often levels the playing field. Sketchup is a terrific example... there were gasps of delight and exclamations of enthusiasm as Brian demonstrated just a few of the basics. We all wondered why we had spent so much time with pencil and paper... this looked to be a whole lot more fun and more versatile. Needless to say, every child wanted to try it and they were all able to quickly master a few simple steps with Brian's guidance. I think they would have gladly designed an entire city had we given them time!"

      Twitter ready to launch Search Engine??? Read More: http://questechie.blogspot.com/2009/04/twitter-ready-to-launch-search-biz.html
  • According to the Twitter's official blog post on wednesday, the company is getting ready to launch a search engine that would make it possible for users to search for keywords and phrases being used by the people they follow on the popular messaging site.
  • Although IE8's security promise has already been marred to an extent -- it was hacked the day before its official rollout -- it may escape the potentially serious fallout from using JavaScript. IE8 was cracked at the 10th annual CanSecWest conference in Vancouver, Canada, Wednesday by a hacker who identified himself only as "Nils." To be fair, the first browser to go down at the hacking contest at CanSecWest was Apple's Safari.

UK Children Go Online | The Communication Initiative Network - 1 views

  • Hence, a new divide is opening up, one centred on the quality of use. The UKCGO survey finds that middle class children, children with internet access at home, children with broadband access and children whose parents use the internet more often are more likely to be daily users and so to experience the internet as a rich, if risky, medium than are less privileged children.
    • Leigh Newton
       
      Those not falling into this category will lose on the benefits of high-speed, regular internet use.
  • Summary This nationwide survey of 1,500 children aged 9-19 and their parents is part of a research project carried out by UK Children Go Online (UKCGO). Between January and March 2004, researchers conducted in-home, face-to-face interviews, lasting some 40 minutes, of 1,511 children and 906 parents across the United Kingdom.
    • Leigh Newton
       
      2004 is severely out of date in this field. The figures today are going to be much higher.
  • Currently, 74% have internet access via a computer, games console or digital television

  • School access is near universal: 92% have accessed the internet at school

Catching the Google Wave by Bill Brandon: Page 2 : Learning Solutions Magazine - 11 views

  • Tags aid in searching. If a participant wants to find other waves that are tagged with “devlearn,” it may be more efficient to use that tag than to use Search.
  • There are quite a few waves that are very useful, run by users rather than by Google. Here are the ones that have become my favorites (you can find these by using Search from within Wave): The Comprehensive Usage Guide to Google Wave New and Previewed Wave Features – What Are You Seeing – ContentWave ( TM ) Useful Public Waves Search Cheat Sheet Google Wave Extensions (Copy)
  • About Searching Make good use of the Search Cheat Sheet listed above. The search syntax in Wave is a bit arcane, or at least it seems so to me. Here are the terms I have been using most often, with a short explanation of each in parentheses: with:public [keyword] (Finds public waves with that keyword in them, for example with:public Mobile Learning finds public waves that have Mobile Learning in the name or in the wave. Note that this also brings back waves that contain “Mobile, Alabama” – the Cheat Sheet explains the search operators that Wave uses, which are as arcane as the rest of the syntax.) in:inbox (shows all the waves you are listening to) by:me (all the waves I have contributed to) by:[WAVid] (all the waves this person has contributed to)
