Wordplay Spanish Vocabulary Game - 3 views

  •  
    Wordplay is a free online game that helps students develop a large, permanent Spanish Vocabulary. All learning is done with a simple game which automatically adjusts to each student's unique needs. Students learn the proper meaning, pronunciation, and spelling of each word. They also build long-term retention with reviews that automatically adjust in frequency based on demonstrated skill. Each student spends exactly the amount of play time he or she uniquely needs with each new word -- no more, no less -- so that vocabulary learning and retention is optimized while students have fun.

Students as 'Free Agent Learners' : April 2009 : THE Journal - 0 views

  • Among the findings: There's a trend toward students using technology to take hold of their own educational destinies and act as "free agent learners."
  • The survey this year polled more than 281,000 students, 29,000 teachers, 21,000 parents, and 3,100 administrators and involved 4,379 schools from 868 districts in all 50 states.
  • students see significant obstacles to using technology in schools. They reported that school networks block sites that they need to access, that teachers specifically limit their use of technology, and that there are "too many rules," preventing students from using their own devices, accessing their communications tools, and even limiting their use of the technologies that the school provides.

  • students and teachers were asked which technologies they would include in the "ultimate school." More than twice as many students as teachers chose online classes; more than twice as many students as teachers chose gaming; nearly three times as many students chose Internet access; and three times as many students chose mobile devices.

ASCD Inservice: Would Your Admins Embrace MySpace? - 0 views

  • "Our eyes are not on the ball," said Moses. "If we're really serious about child safety, it's not about what's going on online; it's what's going on in their immediate physical environment. Five thousand kids get sent to the hospital every year for scissor injuries, but how many schools have scissors in them? We need to teach kids how to use things safely. You can run a band saw in middle school,but you can't go on the Internet."
  • Finally, the big question from this session: "Do you want to be a barrier to kids learning, or do you want to work with the learning they're already doing?"
  • We recently received an email from our superintendent all social networking sites and many other internet sites would be blocked. We are unable to view videos on our computers. My students are unable to play many games on the internet that are educational because of this. We have training in our school on how to teach our students to be safe but we never actually get to show how to use these social networks properly.

  • I'm an administrator at a large high school in an organization that content filters almost everything of potential value. (it's ironic that our students cannot access iTunes U to get Chemistry lectures from UC Berkeley in the classroom but they can access ebay and a Las Vegas gambling rewards page. I wonder if there would be to much of an outcry among the office weasels if those sites were blocked as well) One of the things that I am observing outside the school is how many of our teachers (as well as students) are using Facebook. I was actually able to set up a training during Spring Break using Facebook as a back-channel communications tool when our teachers were scattered all over the country. Why are we asking students (and staff) to step back into the previous century when they arrive at the schoolhouse door?
