  • real impact that student privacy concerns have on the education sector
  • 90 percent of respondents are either very or somewhat concerned with how private companies with non-educational interests are able to access and use students' personal information
  • a majority know not very much (32 percent) or nothing at all (30 percent) about how schools currently collect, use, store and destroy student data, including information such as social security numbers, grades and behavior and attendance records
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • the government -- at the state, federal and local levels -- is turning its eye to student privacy, and so laws and regulations in the area might be changing soon
  • Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), which has undergone regulatory changes in recent years that some claimed have weakened it
  • Consistently, clearly and regularly communicating with students, parents and the community about privacy rights and district policies and practices with regards to student data privacy
  • districts that have adopted strong privacy policies should also have procedures in place to allow teachers to suggest apps or other online educational service that they would like to use (or have students use). While the process may slow down the introduction of the app into the learning environment, it will hopefully provide peace of mind to teachers, who will know the app has been properly vetted with regards to student privacy.

  • For those who may still be unfamiliar with the technology, an interactive whiteboard is a large display that connects to a computer and a projector. The projector projects the computer's desktop onto the board's surface, where users control the computer with a pen, finger, or other device.
  • The first is the learner-response device—handheld voting devices that students use to enter their responses to questions.
  • A third feature is the interactive whiteboard reinforcer—applications that teachers can use to signal that an answer is correct or to present information in an unusual context

  • A second feature is the use of graphics and other visuals to represent information

    A quick little website about the some of the pros and cons of using interactive whiteboards in class and how they worked when researched. 
  • Anna Kron on 12 Oct 15
     
    I think that this may be the content of an article, not a website. Also I question how the results they found have changed, considering that this article was published in 2009. Therefore, I am not sure how relevant the content of this article is, because the technology has undoubtedly changed a lot since it was written. This resource is definitely for teacher use; I think the writers are trying to help teachers see how they can utilize interactive whiteboards more effectively in their classrooms. This article left me questioning what the authors were talking about a little bit: under the "What the Research Found" portion of the article, the authors describe three features "inherent in interactive whiteboards" that have increased student achievement. However, the handheld voting devices and projection of graphics and visuals can be done without an interactive whiteboard. It left me unsure about how useful interactive whiteboards are; I think that if I had my choice of technology in the classroom, an interactive whiteboard would not be high on my list.

  • I recently asked thousands of educatorswhat “21st-century skills and tools” means to them, and how one might integrate such technologies and skills into today’s classrooms
  • A teacher possessing 21st-century skills fearlessly seeks out methods and tools—technology—that will enhance not only their students’ learning—but their own personal growth as well.
  • utilize technology to deliver curriculum content in a manner that is both rigorous and relevant
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • A fully integrated curriculum that includes technology tools that deliver, enhance and create passionate, accountable individuals who use problem-solving skills and resources to transition from a learning environment to a working environment, seamlessly
  • Twenty-first century learning is a remix of multiple literacies which fuse with the tools of technology—and the skills of critical thinking—to stimulate authentic, relevant learning opportunities for all learners, anywhere, anytime.
  • skills in communication, collaboration, and information analysis
  • 21st-century skills require a high level of socio-emotional competence and sophistication
  • Don’t make the mistake of seeing technology as itself and get afraid of it—see it as a tool, as transparent
  • Technology is enabling us to connect to each other in remote areas of the world, share ideas, identify and solve problems—it’s a new, global classroom. Embracing and mastering new 21st-century skills and tools is an essential part of this revolution to ‘C’ the future: Connect. Communicate. Collaborate. Change.

    Lacie, I also have t chat on one of my lists! I decided not to share it, assuming that you would. It really is a great tool. It makes it so much easier than just trying to follow along on your everyday twitter feed. Tweet chats can get going pretty fast and can get hard to follow, this makes it a little easier by putting it in it's own little world to follow along with.

    I ended up reading a few of the blog posts from this site. I haven't experienced any school or class that does BYOD, so I wonder how that works in schools that do that.
  • unipatricia on 14 Nov 17
     
    I remember in when I was in high school, if a student would have their phone with them, they would get in trouble. Nowadays, teachers are taking this change in society to their advantage. Teachers that do not work at a 1:1 school are using the BYOD, or bring your own device. I think this website can be used by both teachers and students. I think this because both the students and teachers will be effected by BYOD. I have never seen another website about this topic, but that does not mean there isn't any.
