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.

Virtual School in Washington State - 1 views

  •  
    This website contains all the information that is provided for a no-cost public school funded system where families can have curriculum appropriate materials ("even bags of rocks and dirt") delivered to their front door and complete graded Kindergarten through the 12th grade virtually from home. They claim these virtual students will spend about 20-25% of their time working on the computer, while high school students in this program can plan to spend about three hours each day on the computer. This site offers free examples of lesson plans, and lots of information on how this system works.
