    Anastasia Goodstein on Totally Wired: What Teens and Tweens are Really Doing Online. MySpace, Facebook, Xanga, Live Journal, Ning - foreign and frightening to some parents, tremendously popular and patronized by teens - online social networks are at an all-time high and show no signs of losing favor. Inspired by her daily blogging about teens and youth on YPulse and extensive interviews with teens, teachers and parents, Anastasia Goodstein arms adults with the language and knowledge they need to understand how teens are really using the internet, showing them when to set boundaries, and when to just relax. "Totally Wired" is a voice of reason amidst panic, and will open the eyes of concerned adults everywhere. Come learn which sites are appropriate for each age group and ways to monitor or block children from accessing certain sites; the ins and outs of online social networking and journaling; how to handle cyber bullying, the difference between healthy, harmless internet usage and potential dangers, and how to better talk to kids about the internet - Cody's Books

  • How do you educate a generation of students eternally distracted by the internet, cellphones and video games? Easy. You enable them by handing out free iPhones — and then integrating the gadget into your curriculum.
  • That’s the idea Abilene Christian University has to refresh classroom learning. Located in Texas, the private university just finished its first year of a pilot program, in which 1,000 freshman students had the choice between a free iPhone or an iPod Touch.
  • Think web apps to turn in homework, look up campus maps, watch lecture podcasts and check class schedules and grades. For classroom participation, there’s even polling software for Abilene students to digitally raise their hand.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • The iPhone is aiding Abilene in giving students the information they need — when they want it, wherever they want it, said Bill Rankin, a professor of medieval studies who helped plan the initiative.
  • Conversely, the problem with the internet is there’s too much information, and it’s difficult to determine which data is valuable.
  • nstead of standing in front of a classroom and talking for an hour, Rankin instructs his students to use their iPhones to look up relevant information on the fly. Then, the students can discuss the information they’ve found, and Rankin leads the dialogue by helping assess which sources are accurate and useful.
  • “Polling opens up new realms for people for discussion,” said Tyler Sutphen, an ACU sophomore who has participated in the iPhone initiative for a year. “It’s a lot more interactive for those who aren’t as willing to jump up and throw out their answer in class. Instead, you push a button on the iPhone.”

  • Some of these features might cause tutors to balk, but Elgg's creators say the collaborative, conversational exchanges in which today's students have become so fluent outside class are the best way to deliver learning inside it.

  • Broadly, Elgg represents a shift from aging, top-down classroom technologies like Blackboard to what e-learning practitioners call personal learning environments -- mashup spaces comprising del.icio.us feeds, blog posts, podcast widgets -- whatever resources students need to document, consume or communicate their learning across disciplines.
