Good example of a teacher using a blog to share content with her students and her students to share with each other (and the world)

We need to analyse and come to a better understanding of the impact of technology, and in particular our 1:1 implementation in the Secondary School, on students and their media habits. Asking students to be using books more may not be the answer, and in fact may be a reactionary approach. Maybe we need to reduce the number of books on shelves to provide room for better designed spaces e.g. 'sound-proofed' smaller areas where 4-5 people can plug a laptop into a large flat screen and collaborate over research or other online/multimedia task Maybe we need to set up podcasting stations and higher-end computers for enhanced video work in areas that all can access, not just in specialist rooms Maybe we need to initiate more discussions based on the reading material available, eg latest magazines and encourage higher order thinking through interaction with other communities and libraries via video conferencing and virtual classrooms

those are quotes from the post. this is part of what i envision for the future of our library.

Wow - I thought that was your own thoughts - definitely on point

nothing new here but i like this metaphor for explaining the concept of students as content creators, AND for justifying its importance.

Colleges manage to find a way to make students pay for a toy that does something that could be just as easily accomplished with a laptop or cell phone that they already have.  But hey, its better than nothing.

NOW EASY TO GET STUDENT ACCOUNTS _NO SIGNUP NEEDED!!

Good model for Internet Interns, or MFT service project?

Agreed-The Karliner flying solo model doesn't work. Any move toward institutionalizing training is good by me. Assuming the training is created/supported by the tech dept and a team of trained students.

permission slip for student owned laptops to be used on their campus

Good selection of royalty free music for students to use in projects

A pretty compelling argument for macs in education.  Of course this argument is virtually obsolete and in the next few years we'll be deciding if we should require ios or android devices for all students as we enter the "post pc era" (thanks for that catchphrase, Mr. Jobs).

I like this perspective on what it means to be technologically illeterate

maybe just another looks like facebook classroom site, but seems pretty full featured

yeah-played with this one with murph last year - its actually really good. Has asignments and drop box functionality, but like all things tech at FCS-who will try it?
