Education World: Hand-Held Technology 'Clicks' With Students - 1 views

  •  
    So far, the best resource for my topic would probably be "Education World: Hand-Held Technology 'Clicks' With Students". This article is about the effects of the clicker in the classroom. Like how the clickers help students become more engaged with the lesson and gives the teacher feedback of how the students are responding to the lesson. This article also addresses the issue of why the clickers might not be for everyone.

Why Schools Must Teach Social Networking | Network.Ed - 0 views

  • Students have discovered that learning is no longer bound to the confines of the school building and schools are beginning to realise that teaching students how to use these technologies effectively for academic purposes is essential if they want their students to engage in the use of social networking appropriately, less sporadically and more spectacularly.
  • The use of the internet is becoming an ever more integral part of young people’s lives and, as a result, they are communicating with each other on an unprecedented scale.
  • In my view, teaching and learning need to reflect these social changes and conform to the needs and expectations of today’s young people.

  • Your private life should remain private. Being friends with pupils on Facebook is not ok as it exposes you and your pupils to unacceptable risks.
  • Handling all this information has suddenly become one of the most precious skills we can hope to pass on to our students. How teachers and schools react and adapt to this new paradigm will bear direct consequences in the future success of their pupils, for remembering facts and figures may not be as important to them in their lives as being able to successfully acquire, manipulate and exploit information.
  •  
    This article argues that teachers should actually teach their students how to use these social media outlets successfully so they can use them in the class room. I think this is an important article to show how important it is to bridge that gap between student and teacher.
