  • ng a very "un-technological" approach to the recording of information. There seemed to be three primary reasons: Some simply were not comfortable typing on the iPads. When asked, it seemed to be a pretty even split between those students that "loved" typing on the device and those that preferred paper and pen.

  • They found that Wikispaces was an ideal tool: quick and easy to get started, but something that could grow with them as the program got bigger and involved more and more teachers with varying degrees of technical experience.
  • In the beginning, BPS set out with one wiki each for each of the eight teachers in the program pilot, plus a professional development/curriculum development wiki and a separate wiki for the !gnite facilitators.

  • "We provided tech skills training on an as-needed basis and through a combination of mini lessons, exploration, problem-solving challenges, and group discussions. Almost all of those discussions were within the context of using it with kids or as a professional tool. Never did we do traditional hour long or day long hands-on workshops."
  • The !gnite team also made a point of reaching out to the community by making presentations to the board of education and to parents, so that they understand what wikis are and what they mean to the students. Recently, those have been led by the classroom teachers themselves.

      Maybe we should look into this for the pilot classrooms. Not sure if it is geared toward high school/middle school or elementary
  • “We can’t make the awareness of Web issues solely person- and relationship-centered,” said Joseph Turow, a professor at the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania. Children should learn things like what a cookie or a Web virus is, and how corporations profit from tracking consumers online, he said.

      Alan November's book "Engaging Students with Technology" addresses some of these issues. I think all pilot teachers should begin the year teaching students about these things as well as how to validate sites when doing research.
  • Financed largely by foundation money, Common Sense will offer a free curriculum to schools this fall that teaches students how to behave online. New York City and Omaha have decided to offer it; Denver, the District of Columbia, Florida, Los Angeles, Maine and Virginia are considering it.

  • Common Sense’s classes, based on research by Howard Gardner, a Harvard psychology and education professor, are grouped into topics he calls “ethical fault lines”: identity (how do you present yourself online?); privacy (the world can see everything you write); ownership (plagiarism, reproducing creative work); credibility (legitimate sources of information); and community (interacting with others).
