NetGen Education Project - 0 views

  •  
    Award winning global collaborators Julie Lindsay and Vicki Davis (co founders of the Flat Classroom Project) are excited to announce the 2012 NetGenEd Project, another global collaboration to envision the future of education and social action by inspiring today's students to study leading technology trends and create their vision for the future. In this project, students will study and "mash up" the results of the 2012 Horizon Report from the New Media Consortium and Educause and Tapscott's book Grown Up Digital: How the Net Generation is Changing Your World. Students will study the current research and create wiki-reports with their student partners around the world analyzing current trends and projecting future happenings based upon this collaborative analysis. This project is managed by the students who assume roles such as project manager, assistant project manager, and editors of the various wikis. After compiling their wiki reports based upon current research, and encouraged by "expert advisors" (subject matter experts in the industry), students will then create a video based upon their research in current global technological trends. Applications open now: http://www.netgened.org/apply.html February 1 deadline extended for interested ITGS classes. Contact julie@flatclassroom.org

Simple Wikipedia - 0 views

  •  
    "Simple English Wikipedia is a version of the Wikipedia encyclopedia, written in Simple English. Articles in the Simple English Wikipedia use fewer words and easier grammar than the English Wikipedia. The Simple English Wikipedia is also for people with different needs, such as students, children, adults with learning difficulties and people who are trying to learn English. Other people use the Simple English Wikipedia because the simple language helps them understand unfamiliar topics or complex ideas." I've found this quite useful for myself and my students. Some of regular Wikipedia's articles are simply too complicated - Simple Wikipedia has fewer articles, but those it has are generally a lot clearer.

A Framework for Thinking Ethically - 3 views

  •  
    This document is designed as an introduction to thinking ethically. We all have an image of our better selves-of how we are when we act ethically or are "at our best." We probably also have an image of what an ethical community, an ethical business, an ethical government, or an ethical society should be. Ethics really has to do with all these levels-acting ethically as individuals, creating ethical organizations and governments, and making our society as a whole ethical in the way it treats everyone.

    This is excellent. I like these lines "Only by careful exploration of the problem, aided by the insights and different perspectives of others, can we make good ethical choices in such situations." and also the steps. I have linked it on my wiki. Thanks Sandra.
