  • 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.”

      AIW and Rigor and Relevance
  • Learners can practice what experts in their discipline do each day, with facilitators helping them revise and try again.

      This reinforces what we read in earlier articles for this lesson.

  • 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.

  • 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.
