Resisting Technology Is Soooo 20th Century - Finding Common Ground - Education Week - 0 views

  • If you believe that technology is a distraction and not a way to enhance educational practices, you're probably not using it correctly.
  • When we were kids, did we leave school every day thinking that we had to go home and do research. Homework was something that got in the way of our play. We wanted to go outside and play games or stay inside and play video games. As we grew older we wanted to connect with our friends by playing sports or talking on the phone. Suddenly, we became adults and expect all students to want to go home and do research.
  • Our job as educators is to build a bridge between what they use it for and what we want them to use it for.

KidBlog - 0 views

  •  
    Students can publish their writing! I have noticed an increase of motivation: one, they have to go through the steps of the writing process to log on to KidBlog because they only use it to publish and two, students truly think about their writing because their peers will be reading and commenting in on it. You can also open up their blogs for the world to view and comment! I cannot say enough great things about this site.

10 Essential Tips For Meeting Tech Needs of Low-Income Schools - 2 views

  •  
    Educators who work in low-income schools understand technology could help them understand student needs better and create more engaging learning experiences. But tight budgets make some of the more ambitious schemes, like one-to-one computer access a distant dream.
