"With a process in place to ensure you meet specific student needs, you can begin to proactively identify accessibility pain points and come up with a plan for addressing them"
This is the first iteration of a collectively produced school web policy (elementary/secondary) designed to solicit more intelligent (and less censorious) approaches to web access and issues of conduct.
What sites should students be able to access (and why)?

This OLC Institute post suggested three purposes and provided numerous examples of social media implementation and integration that may serve to "support learning in online courses" (2016.05.17, ¶3, ff.), namely:
1. Amplifying the physical and psychological engagement of learners (Engagement using social media);
2. Providing instruction to "enhance learning outcomes" (Instruction involving social media); and
3. Facilitating access to, and increasing availability of academic, career, and other "support services" (Student support using social media).

In this post, Byrne suggested, "Rather than trying to remember when to revoke access to the folder, you could use the Auto-Expire script to set an expiration date for your shared folders" (2013.01.25, para 1). He displayed a Tekzilla Daily video from which he "learned about the script", and also point out a Digital Inspiration blog post that provides instructions as well.
The elephant in the room is the question: If a 300-year-old institution like Encyclopedia Brittanica can be threatened in five years by Wikipedia, can other aggregators of expertise (aka colleges and universities) be similarly challenged? Similarly, if knowledge and talent are now globally understood to be the sine qua non of the Information Age, then can colleges and universities lever their communities, reputations, credentials, and presence globally? And, finally, how does the new channel cut by information technology change scholarship? Does the existence or accessibility of new tools, instruments, and resources change academic practice, and how do changes-or constancies-get socialized?

This TP eNews... post featured an adopted and adapted rubric for group project work, "an inquiry-based project rubric that consists of eight dimensions." (Guidelines for Inquiry-Based Project Work, ¶2, 2015.02.17). Determining the extent and substance of adaptations noted in the excerpt may require both access to the source of the excerpt and the source of the original rubric.

The 21st century classroom must be a place to network, to create, to publish, to share.
The new classroom does not integrate technology into an outdated curriculum, but rather infuses technology into the daily performance of classroom life.
In this new classroom, the teacher is not the sole expert or the only source of information, but rather the teacher is the lead member of a network—guiding and facilitating as students search for answers to questions they have carefully generated.
It is important to note that some students may be quietly sitting in the corner engrossed in an old fashioned text.
Daily and total access to computers allows students to realize that technology is not something they “do” when they go to the lab or when the teacher has checked out the laptop cart, but rather technology is something they can use everyday in class to help themselves learn.
In this new classroom, students will begin to understand that their computer is not simply a novelty to take notes with, but it is their binder, their planner, their dictionary, their journal, their photo album, their music archive, their address book.
tudents will begin to understand that their computer is not simply a novel
it's also about sharing with the right people. Circles will allow what educational consultant Tom Barnett calls "targeted sharing," something that will be great for specific classes and topics
Skype has become an incredibly popular tool to bring in guests to a classroom via video chat -
teachers are already talking about the possibility of not just face-to-face video conversation but the potential for integration of whiteboards, screen-sharing, Google Docs, and other collaborative tools
Google + seems like the solution for someone like me who wants to use the web to have conversations about school topics with students and parents and yet not have students and parents have access to my personal posts.
The very act of transforming lessons after the fact is a hallmark of technology integration
What ends up being unique is how each teacher blends technology into their instructional design, not adds technology on top of the instructional already designed
