  • Critical Questions How can technology help you personalize learning? How can technology engage multiple intelligences? How can technology bridge the digital divide in K-12 settings? How can technology assist the unique learner? How can technology be used to simultaneously deepen student understanding and accelerate student achievement standards? Possible Actions Encourage students to use the web as a research tool on a topic of great personal interest. Give parameters for the expected product, but let the student emerge as chief designer. Review your favorite on-line educational game or activity. List the intelligences a student would have to tap to do well. Create a multiple intelligence rubric for the piece. Create an extended learning program which focuses on on-line learning activities that could be used to "reteach" skills which students missed in class. Identify software/on-line learning activities which can be used to accommodate a learner with unique learning capacities. Choose one state standard relevant to your teaching and have each student create a problem which requires the performance of that standard. Use the web to find the resources to solve the problem.

  • Definition of Virtual Communications Virtual communications encompasses a broad spectrum of concepts, technologies and practices that are central to our daily lives. In our society today, we can now communicate with a friend or co-worker in another country or continent instantaneously. We can earn a college degree or take continuous learning classes online with the click of a few buttons. The proliferation of information and communication tools, like e-mail, instant messaging and Internet telephony has revolutionized the way we work and live. How we use the technologies, such as email and collaboration tools, can influence the quality of the work we do and can determine our ability to function as a high producing, high performing workforce. Virtual communications facilitates the ability to know and understand how to access and share information electronically and is a portal through which a world of limitless learning opportunities exist.

    Web 2.0 is an echo-chamber - let's face it. Many deny the fact, but it's true. Ask anyone on the street about RSS, widgets, APIs, or wikis and you'll get a blank face. Chances are they'll think you're speaking another language. Even fairly tech savvy Internet users frown upon such terms and phrases.

  • Social media permit virtual face-to-face meetings every day, says David Meerman Scott, a marketing strategist and author of The New Rules of Marketing and PR: How to Use News Releases, Blogs, Viral Marketing and Online Media to Reach Buyers Directly. “I like to tell salespeople to think of the Web as a huge city teeming with individuals, and blogs and other social media information as the sounds of independent voices,” he says.

  • A virtual office is a combination of off-site live communication and address services that allow users to reduce traditional office costs while maintaining business professionalism[1]. Frequently the term is confused with “office business centers” or “executive suites” which demand a conventional lease whereas a true virtual office does not require that expense[

  • The TELEPORT environment is designed to overcome disadvantages of desktop videoconferencing and to establish life-like conference sessions that bring people together as if face-to-face. The system consists of a real room with one wall entirely covered b a display surface. Onto that surface a virtual extension of the real room is projected. As the local participant moves, his location is tracked ­ thus allowing the synthetic scene to be rendered with the correct perspective.

  • An ex-friend’s mother faces charges in federal court as a result, and Missouri has made Internet harassment a crime.
  • Cyberbullies often commandeer e-mail accounts and social-networking profiles, attacking kids while pretending to be someone they trust, like a best friend. They use cell phones and the Web to spread embarrassing and cruel material, and they can harass their victims well beyond the schoolyard -- even when they're "safe" at home.

    Excellent article on cyberbullying and an example of a girl who was harrassed online and killed herself. This sort of thing is tragic and we should consider what we think aboutinternet harrassment penalties, particularly against children. There are mention of several websites including one I'd never heard of called CyberBully Alert.

    I love this article from Pennsylvania about Suzy Nestico's class participation in the Flat Classroom project and the Flat Classroom conference. Many in pennsylvania have struggled because of their restrictive rules. Suzy gets it done. "The Flat Classroom Project, cofounded by Julie Lindsay, Beijing, China and Vicki Davis, Camilla, Ga., speaks to the very heart of Pennsylvania's Classrooms for the Future initiative and 21st Century learning, Nestico said. It utilizes technologies such as a Ning and Wikispaces that allow students to collaborate with other students around the world to peer edit and design a variety of multimedia, despite location and cultural barriers, much like how the real world is starting to work. Each student works with an international partner to create a multimedia presentation based on one of the 10 "Global Economic Flatteners," as described by Thomas L. Friedman in his book "The World is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-First Century." Nestico learned of the Flat Classroom concept while completing her master's degree in education at Wilkes University, and felt it would give her students an opportunity to explore cultural and political issues without ever having to leave home. After participating in the projects with multiple classes over the past year-and-a-half, new doors opened and, now, students are beginning to meet face-to-face, she said. Students are not just doing education, they are living it, creating it, and ultimately, reshaping what it will look like for others in the future, Nestico said." Great byline that gets to the heart of what we're doing.

  • Transitional Interfaces Milgram points out that computer interfaces can be placed on a continuum according to how much of the user's world is generated by the computer [Milgram 94] (figure 4). Moving from left to right the amount of virtual imagery increases and the connection with reality weakens. AR technology can be used to transition users smoothly along this continuum, as shown by the MagicBook work [Billinghurst 2001]. Figure 4: Milgram's Reality-Virtuality Continuum
