  • Why Resistance?
  • Many of us might believe that social media is a place where students impulsively reveal their private lives for the world to see. It’s not true
  • Recent survey done by Facebook reveals that the new youth is deliberate about what they post. Any impression they leave on their social network is deliberate.
  • If educators don’t pay respect to the new ways of expression of youth, they will remain defensive and less likely engaging with their teachers on social media.
  • Indeed there are some real risks attached with children using social media and it can’t be taken lightly. But there are also dangers in crossing a road. Do we tell our kids not to cross the road? No, we don’t! We hold their hand and tell them how to do it.
  • Educators must show teens a level of respect as they create their space online to express themselves as individual
  • Privacy
  • According to a 2013 Pew Research Center study, teens are taking steps to protect their privacy.
  • Students are cognizant of their online reputations, and take steps to curate the content and appearance of their social media presence.
  • Critical Thinking
  • Power of Reasoning
  • The future of education is in helping children experience curiosity, wonder, and joy through playful learning.
  • A New Generation of Communicators
  • The students of today are big communicators through emails, social media and instant messaging
  • They are more connected to the outside world than how much we were at their age
  • Social Media has bridged the gap between students and the highest quality study material they need for learning
  • Shifting Role of Educators
  • A modern school needs to be a lot more than brick and mortar of studies

9 Steps For Schools To Create Their Own BYOD Policy - 0 views

  •  
    If you haven't noticed lately, Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) is kind of a big deal, both in business, technology, and education fields. Why? In education, BYOD (and its initialistic cousin, BYOT), 1:1, and other trends are symbolic of (at least) three things: 1. Schools, teachers, and students want technology in the classroom 2.

¿Por qué tengo que aprender lo que ya está en Google? | EDUCACIóN 2.0 y REDES... - 0 views

  •  
    "Hace días en una de las charlas a profesores aula, los docentes compartían sus mayores dificultades en la sala del siglo XXI. Una que era común a todos, era la resistencia general de los niños a investigar, aprender, trabajar lo que ya se encuentra en Google. ¿Por qué hacer lo que ya está? ¿Por qué crear lo que puedo encontrar en la web y en tantas versiones como un alumno podría soñar? A lo que se le sumaba la doble tarea que significaba evaluar las fuentes que habían utilizado los niños o el porcentaje de copy/paste que habían incorporado. La tarea era cuesta arriba, primero motivarlos, luego pasar horas eternas evaluando y contrastando en la web, la originalidad del trabajo. Obviamente la respuesta fue clara, si no establecen el aprendizaje como un desafío continuo, tendrán en el aula hábiles boicoteadores. Los Hijos de la Tecnología viven, navegan y existen en la Internet, por ende dominan todo lo que en ella sucede y ante el mínimo esfuerzo, usarán lo que se encuentra en ella para luego compartirlo con sus pares. Son prácticos, optimizan su tiempo y asumen que todo lo que no les aporta es un mero trámite que es necesario cumplir. Desarrollar nuevas estrategias de aprendizaje son existenciales tanto como comprender que en la sala de clases hay nuevos niños que piensan, crean y comparten de manera diametralmente diferente que hace décadas atrás. ¿Qué hacer? Proponer nuevos espacios de aprendizaje. Hace años opté por el mundo digital ocupando plataformas, blogs, redes, donde no solo publico todos los contendidos a trabajar en el año, también las evaluaciones y recursos digitales para que los padres participen. Versiones diferentes para cada tema, dependiendo de las habilidades y competencias naturales de los alumnos. Dejarlo liderar, cooperar, alimentar su senda de crecimiento personal. Hace mucho tiempo deje de ser quien protagoniza la clase, si alguien ingresara a ella, vería una colmena en acción, donde a lo más soy

Your Phone Has an FM Chip. So Why Can't You Listen to the Radio? | WIRED - 0 views

  •  
    "Every smartphone in the world has an FM tuner built in. But here in the US, just one-third of them actually works, even though the Federal Emergency Management Agency says radio can save lives in an emergency. "We know that if Internet networks or cell phone networks go down, FM still works so long as you have a battery to turn the device on," says agency spokesman Rafael Lemaitre."
