Saying Goodbye to Now: How Do iPhone Photos Impact Our Experience? : The New Yorker - 0 views

  •  
    No hard news here; but this reminded me of Sherry Turkle and her (misguided, I think) argument that parents are too caught up with their phones to pay attention to their kids. There's a lot more subtlety in this piece. And even though this is literary and not academic, I think there's valuable food for thought re: T561 because of big questions about "real" experience vs. digital or "virtual" experience.

Teaching with SmartPhones| The Committed Sardine - 1 views

  •  
    I'm not sure that smartphones are the best for backchannel. I think I would like an actual keyboard for something like that. Just saying. I'm thinking of T561 in this case. I would not have like to comment via smartphone on the T561 backchannel.
  •  
    There's some interesting research implying that students with dyslexia prefer reading novels on smartphones (Jenny Thomson from HGSE is involved). The smaller window isolates smaller chunks of info, waking it easier to focus - seems difficult to me too, but goes to she you never know what could work...

Play, passion, purpose: Tony Wagner at TEDxNYED - YouTube - 3 views

    Also not directly about technology, but more certainly about transformation of established school practice. Connected to what we have studied in T561, the possibilities seem palpable.

Free Digital Learning Transition MOOC for Educators Starts Sept. 30 -- Campus Technology - 3 views

  •  
    This MOOC has a better design than most, and I could get one of the leaders to teleconference with T561, if desired.

    I think a live teleconference would be great!

BBC NEWS | Technology | Youth speak out on digital divide - 0 views

  • simultaneously amazed by and afraid of modern technological advances
    • Sammi Biegler
       
      It's a novel concept to see youths afraid of technology- in America, this attitude is usually reserved for parents, teachers, and other non-digital-natives...
  • these services are expensive and thus digital barriers are widening
    • Sammi Biegler
       
      In America, we have tried to fix this by offering computer access in the schools. We don't have digital cafes offering computer access in many locations- typically it's just WiFi connections. Unfortunately, this means disadvantaged students are forced to complete any computer-based assignments before, during, and after school, while the building is still open.
  • Now, in the age of Internet 2.0, the web is of no use if only some people have access to it. Perhaps the digital society can help with this - I believe that promoting tele-education in our cities will help these people to get good education.

      If you're not yet familiar with it, check out the WIDE World site through HGSE. It's a good example of online learning and community building, and you might be interested in some of the topics! http://wideworld.pz.harvard.edu/en/

    Hi T561- a bit old, but an international perspective on the inequality of technology access across the globe. This article links in with the TIE list discussions about the One Laptop Per Child effort as well. If we want to use technology to break down international barriers, like Dede's "Microsoft of the future" film, we have to address the issue of accessibility, both across the globe and within our own student population.

Disrupting Class - 6 views

  •  
    Michael Horn, co-author of "Disrupting Class" and Executive Director for Education and the Innosight Institute, has agreed to do a live chat with me and Andrew Barras on Wednesday, September 29. Right now the time is looking like 12Noon EST. This is a great one-on-one interaction opportunity for teachers, education reformers, education administrators and anyone interested in the role that digital learning plays in the delivery of equity to every student in America.

    Hi Cameron, If you do get something arranged and want more participants, we could post this on the TIE list, EPLIP list, or the T561 class list... Of course, if you are trying to do something more intimate, that might not be a good idea, and you should just let Diigo followers go :) Anyway, kudos for putting it together!
  •  
    Justin, would be great to post this on the lists you mention.
  •  
    Sure, can you email me a short little blurb with a few more details-- confirming the time, the medium, the end time, the topic, etc.

    I hesitated on this as it more specialized than general, but this is utilizing technology to engage a certain population of students, (many of whom were struggling) and producing a solid portfolio of "deliverables" . Talk about transfer!

    This is what some very talented current students at HGSE are working on. It's a solid plan, with a talented and diverse team of educators and media producers. And it's taking off! So heads up everyone. This is part of the next phase of your plan too ;-) Just look at the production value!

    TEP11 grad here. Now a math teacher in a Title 1 school. Interested. I follow this Diigo feed (since when I took this useful class) so saw the video just now ... edutainment.com not working yet :-( I wanted to see more. Fyi, here's a rare example of a math video my students "tolerated" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7MxGyEaN64
