  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.
  • skills students will need to be competitive in their future careers

    This post is a set of responses from educators who attempt to define 21st-century skills and tools. It is useful to remember that this means many different things to different people, yet there are running trends through the comments as well!

    Really great step by step information on how to safely use FB in the classroom. Bold statement by the author of the article: We have an obligation as educators to model appropriate online behavior and learn right along our students.

    I think this is a great resource for using Facebook safely in the classroom. The article is definitely directed towards teachers. It provides nice step-by-step instructions for locking down the privacy of what you post to maintain that professional relationship with students and their parents.

    This article talks about the concept of "hyperdocs" which puts everything a student needs for a unit or a learning cycle into one document to streamline the process and make learning more efficient for students.

    I love this article! I actually just decided to do something similar. I am giving my students a doc that has everything we are doing in this lesson. I have given checkpoints and this is allowing the students to go at their own pace. I am daily checking in to see who needs more structure, and I will still do regular instruction to those who need/want it. I think this is a great tool for teachers.

    This was a very interesting article for me because I am not knowledgable of hyperdocs. As I am reading, I am realizing that it is similar to WebQuests. I love the flexibility, the fewer lectures, and privacy of students taking ownership of their own learning. This definitely fits with Voice&Choice! Since I am less knowledgable on this topic, I love how it gave models. You can tell it was made by teachers! This article really lays it out for the reader!

    Great resource for teachers to get them started with using hyperdocs. This will be very useful to help me with using hyperdocs in my classroom. I have heard of hyperdocs before and came across the Hyperdoc Handbook before on Amazon. I did not know all the details of what they entailed and this article did a great job of providing a clear explanation, examples, templates, and the benefits of using them. I loved creating webquests for my students years ago, and after reading this article I understand that hyperdocs takes webquests to the next level. I am going to share this article with my colleagues because this would be a great way for us to differentiate and provide choice to students.

    I loved this article! It reminded me a lot of the Horizon report on what is trending. Many of these we are already incorporating at my school and in my library like the coding, augmented reality, robotics and makerspaces. I also liked that they included student privacy as a trend. This is something many people overlook at the elementary level, but it is still extremely important!

    This was an awesome article. Like Staci said, it reminded me of the Horizon Report. Knowing what the current trends are now will definitely influence my future classrooms. Also, I am working on figuring out how to use virtual reality and augmented reality in my current Earth Science classrooms. I feel like this article was mainly written for teachers, and not students. The Horizon Report is very similar to this, in fact it was even mentioned in this article.

    This was a very informational article. It did a nice job of discussing the current trends in education and technology. I try to stay current on the hot topics in both education and technology by attending conferences and reading researched based articles like this. It often becomes overwhelming trying to decide which practices will benefit my classroom and students the most at a current time.
