  • Our Space is a set of curricular materials designed to encourage high school students to reflect on the ethical dimensions of their participation in new media environments. Through role-playing activities and reflective exercises, students are asked to consider the ethical responsibilities of other people, and whether and how they behave ethically themselves online. These issues are raised in relation to five core themes that are highly relevant online: identity, privacy, authorship and ownership, credibility, and participation.

    Hi All, I found this article to be very pertinent to this weeks content in EDC3100. I hope some of you can benefit as well: ABSTRACT (Copied from Sciencedirect) Technology integration in K-12 classrooms is usually overly teacher-centered and has insufficient impact on students' learning, especially in enhancing students' higher-order cognitive skills. The purpose of this project is to facilitate science teachers' use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) as cognitive tools to shift their practices from traditional teacher-centered methods to constructivist, student-centered ones. This paper describes the outcomes and lessons learned from an application of design-based research (DBR) in the implementation and refinement of a teacher professional development (PD) program that is a key component of the overall project. This DBR study involved 25 middle-school science teachers from 24 schools whose implementation of cognitive tools with their students in science classrooms and virtually through a social networking site were observed over four years. A mixed-methodology was utilized to examine the impact of the cognitive tools intervention on teachers' classroom practices and students' development of new literacy skills. Identifying reusable design principles related to technology integration was another focus of the DBR study. The results revealed teachers' positive changes in their classroom practices by gradually allowing students to take control over the use of technology, and positive impact on students' ICT skills and science learning. Design principles for future professional development programs aimed at preparing teachers to adopt a cognitive tools approach are described.

    Hi David, This looks like something new and fun but is it? Is this technology replacing, enhancing or transforming learning? Also there are only 8 children in the video in a real prep class there would be 20 plus and they would not be as calm and well mannered when taking turns. Seems like fun for a small group all the same.

  • According to Mishra and Koehler (2006), "these new technologies can disrupt the status quo, requiring teachers to reconfigure not just their understandings of technology but of all three components [technology, pedagogy, content]" (p. 1030).

    This is something worth reading! Have you considered the long term effects of WIFI in the classroom on student health? Or maybe your childrens health? Watch the Video and be informed. As teachers we have a moral obligation to ensure the safety of students.

    You may also wish to explore a little further on this issue, rather than just rely on a single source. Teachers also have an obligation to be fully informed.

    WIFI - The uncontrolled global experiment on the health of mankind There are little to no studies of the long-term effects of EMFs and on a developing brains, which are physiologically more vulnerable than the adult brain for a number of reasons. With WIFI being a relatively recent technology, there is a gap in the literature addressing longitudinal studies of EMF and children. If you wish to view a recent peer reviewed study assessing just the short-term effects you may read Kuzniar et al. (2017). As we know, in our current metropolitan environment we are exposed to EMFs constantly. Markov and Grigoriev (2013) have clearly addressed some of the ethical and political issues arising from the use of WIFI technology and the unregulated global approach and safety guidelines. Grigoriev has explored this with a number of peer-reviewed studies. One that I found interesting was his article "Cellular communications and public health, 2012". From what I have read, there seems to be a consensus in the scientific community that this is an area for further research as conclusive results of the long-term effects of EMF on children cannot be found. Further reading is included below (apologies for inconsistent referencing style): Grigoriev & Markov (2013) Wi-Fi technology - an uncontrolled global experiment on the health of mankind: http://dx.doi.org/10.3109/15368378.2013.776430 Kuzinar et al.

    Thank you for sharing I watched the video and it certainly illuminates some serious concerns not only in schools but also in our homes. I will now be looking at where our wifi unit will be situated and taking a closer look at our homes technologicial set up. This is very important to share and my children will be taking a look at this video later today. I have also read about some experiments students have done at school with a living plant that they placed near the computer and Wi-Fi as a science experiment I will see if I can find the link. I agree it is also important to research such a topic to get a broader scope of the situation. Regards Faye U1069753

    Thanks for your input Faye, The intent of my original post was not to create hysteria but to encourage critical thinking, as National Government institutions can be slow to respond to new global research...especially when it may challenge our current 'comfortable' way of life and assumptions. Cheers, u1070429

    Thank you for sharing this information. My thoughts are an education in civilised countries can't function without these devices. Children response to technology than any other educational diverse. There are more positive than negative. Using technology in the 21st century is helping our kids engage in the classroom, and our children need these devices to function in their learning to become capable and able students in future. I work in a school setting where the majority of the student's complete task using computer and iPad. We as teachers need these devices to function properly in our role as educators. Technology is fun, engaging and reliable to some extent, these methods over the years have help to improve our student outcome. Thanks, Joy

    Hello everyone, I just wanted to share with you this website called 'ICT in Everyday Learning: A Toolkit for Teachers'. This website draws on the 'TPACK' framework and provides information for teachers regarding ICT and pedagogy. The website makes explicit links between pedagogy, the Australian Curriculum, and the use of ICT to enhance pedagogy and facilitate student learning. In researching different ICTs to include in my table for Assessment Task 1, I found the 'Technology: Tools and Devices' section very useful! This section provides links to a range of ICTs across different learning areas. It was interesting to browse through these ICTs and examine which ones 'enhance' teaching and learning and which ones have the potential to 'transform' teaching and learning. I hope you find this website helpful!

  • What we saw instead was that DigiTech enabled teachers and students to do the same things faster and more efficiently, albeit after some teachers had invested time and effort in learning how to use different technologies.
  • We conclude this paper by drawing on Veletsianos (2016 Veletsianos, G. (2016). Emergence and innovation in digital learning: Foundations and applications. Edmonton: AU Press, Athabasca University.) to suggest that a focus on ‘emerging technologies’ and ‘emerging practices’ in digital learning could be a useful way forward. As Veletsianos (2016 Veletsianos, G. (2016). Emergence and innovation in digital learning: Foundations and applications. Edmonton: AU Press, Athabasca University.) argues, ‘emerging technologies’ and ‘emerging practices’ transcend disciplines and, moreover, what makes practice and technology emerging is not the technology, but rather the environments in which technologies and practices operate. Emerging technologies and practices, therefore, are foregrounded in the belief that technologies and practices shape and are shaped by sociocultural environments.
  • As Veletsianos (2016 Veletsianos, G. (2016). Emergence and innovation in digital learning: Foundations and applications. Edmonton: AU Press, Athabasca University.) argues, DigiTech is not yet established in education.

    These Know-Wonder-Learn charts are an excellent resource for accessing students prior knowledge on a particular subject and brainstorming new understanding. These charts could be used for students learning in all subjects and years.

    FYI there is an app series called Tools 4 Students that has a range of graphic organisers including KWL charts that students can complete and share through the app.
