  • The Social Media Myth The myth about social media in the classroom is that if you use it, kids will be Tweeting, Facebooking and Snapchatting while you're trying to teach. We still have to focus on the task at hand. Don't mistake social media for socializing. They're different -- just as kids talking as they work in groups or talking while hanging out are different. You don't even have to bring the most popular social media sites into your classroom. You can use Fakebook (1) or FakeTweet (2) as students work on this form of conversation. Edublogs (3), Kidblog (4), Edmodo (5), and more will let you use social media competencies and writing techniques. Some teachers are even doing "tweets" on post-it notes (6) as exit tickets. You can use mainstream social media, too.

    Before we talk social media, let's talk about the relevance of social media by taking a quiz. Which of the following is most likely to be true? ☐ Should we teach letter-writing in the classroom? Kids need to write letters and mail them.

  • Use fonts 24 points or larger for the text. Use dark type and light background for the overhead/slide. Avoid USING ALL CAPS. (The normal use of upper and lowercase characters is easier to read.) Use Italics or color rather than underline to emphasize a point. (Underline makes some characters difficult to read.) Limit seven words per line and eight lines per overhead/slide. Use the overhead/slide as a guide for presentation. Face the audience when showing the overhead/slide. Distribute a copy of the overheads/slides to students ahead of time if possible. Keep the room lights on and avoid showing slides in a dark room for more than 15 minutes (Dark rooms can make students drowsy.) Avoid putting students in a passive mode of receiving information by combining the overhead/slide presentation with chalkboard/whiteboard use or other learning activities. Have a backup plan in case of a power outage or equipment failure.

  • Allow plenty of lead-time for planning the course and designing course web pages. Be sure that the course web pages are functional. Have a back-up plan for lectures (e.g., print or save the web pages on your local hard drive). Be well-prepared for your presentation, for example: check the classroom set up (e.g., browser, software, computer memory, monitor, and audio). verify links, especially the external links. check the room lighting to see if it is suitable for both viewing the projected screen and taking notes. arrange for a technical support staff to be in your classroom at the start of class to help with the setup if necessary. always know whom to call for help if technical problems occur. Emphasize the need for filtering and interpreting information on the Web when encouraging students to use online resources. Remind students that only a smaller fraction of the whole archive of knowledge is available on the Web.
  • Facilitation
  • Preparation
  • ke online discussion/conferencing an integral part of the course. (Do not separate what is happening in the conference from what is happening in the face-to-face class meetings.)
  • reate a comfortable atmosphere for the online conferencing/discussion, for example: be an active participant.
  • Set clear expectations and standards for assessing student web pages/projects.
  • bring your own experiences to the discussion.
  • Identify what features in a course management system you will use and why you will use them.

      This is not true, students with special needs may be just as capable of using technology as general education students.
  • Children with learning disabilities often have better technology skills than their teachers and are drawn to computers and other gadgets, so using them in the classroom makes perfect sense. For children with physical disabilities, technology can give access to learning opportunities previously closed to them. E-readers help students turn book pages without applying dexterity, and voice adaptive software can help students answer questions without needing to write.

  • Some schools are cutting down on snow days, thanks to technology. Rather than giving kids the day off when weather conditions are too dangerous for commuting, these schools are asking students to follow classroom lessons online. Although kids hoping for a snow day may not particularly appreciate these advancements in digital learning, house- or hospital-bound students do -- online lessons allow these kids to complete their coursework and still interact with peers. Some students with medical conditions can "go" to school via video conferencing or even with the help of robots enabled with video chat that they can control remotel

    The way students learn is fundamentally changing. A flexible, blended classroom model is replacing the one-size-fits-all classroom approach that was confined to set hours and locations. Teachers are using digital technologies to engage students with more personalized learning experiences. Students are collaborating across geographical boundaries, and consuming and producing innovative education-related content.
