Philly Teacher: Educon 2.3 Takeaways - 0 views

  • We can't expect children to find their passion if we don't expose them to as many experiences as possible and let them tinker with ideas and try out different roles?
  • This means we need to be our own filter--a skill we must teach children.
  • What about schools that don’t have access---are these students the new illiterate?
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • are we saying anything new?--- I find that the group of educators that attends Educon tends to be of the same outlook, mindset and viewpoint. Many of the conversations we have had over the weekend are nothing new. How many times can we hash out an idea and say "We should do something about this" before something actually gets done? what are the new conversations?---what do we really need to be discussing as we move forward into the new year?

Web 2.0/Mobile AUP Guide - 0 views

  • While they also use blocking and filtering that federal law requires, their policy is based on the premise that children need to learn how to be responsible users and that such cannot occur if the young person has no real choice. School personnel who take this stand contend that students need to acquire the skills and dispositions of responsible Internet usage and to be held accountable for their behavior.
  • often without board action.
  • a more inclusive process will result in better policy and more “buy-in” from those who are affected by the policy. Critical to the success of AUP policies is the sense of ownership of the policies by their prime target: students.

  • The law requires any school district that receives E-Rate funding to filter or block visual depictions that are obscene, that contain child pornography, or material harmful to minors. Schools are required to enforce the operation of such technology protection measures (i.e., keep the filter operating) during any use of such computers by minors. The law also requires districts to have in place a policy of Internet safety that includes the use of a filter or blocking procedure for district computers used by minors.
  • Section 215 is most relevant to schools and requires them, as part of their Internet safety policy, to educate minors about appropriate online behavior. This includes how to interact with others on social networking websites and in chat rooms as well as cyberbullying awareness and response.
  • Policies on cell phone usage vary from districts that forbid students from bringing them into the school building (such as the Student/Parent Handbook in the New Haven’s  Connecticut schools), to schools that provide for limited use, to schools which are making use of them for instructional purposes

Dan Pink: How Teachers Can Sell Love of Learning to Students | MindShift - 1 views

  • So how do educators help kids become problem-finders when they don’t know what the problem is or where the next one might be coming from? “A lot of people hate this word but I think we have to take it seriously, which is relevance,” Pink said. “There’s something to be said for connecting particular lessons to something in the real world.”
  • For instance, application of math principles, which has real relevance in the real world. “Even with my own kids, to some extent I see math has become an abstract code designed to get a right answer rather than seeing that math explains why this building is standing up, or why the traffic is going slow right now, or why the 49ers are kicking a field goal rather than going for first down.”
