Shaping Tech for the Classroom | Edutopia - 0 views

  • In a growing number of simulations, ranging from the off-the-shelf SimCity and to Muzzy Lane's Making History to MIT's experimental Revolution and Supercharged, students -- even elementary school children -- can now manipulate whole virtual systems, from cities to countries to refineries, rather than just handling manipulatives.

      Virtual Worlds are a tool I'd like to explore in Science and Humanities...
  • In Education Simulations's Real Lives, children take on the persona of a peasant farmer in Bangladesh, a Brazilian factory worker, a police officer in Nigeria, a Polish computer operator, or a lawyer in the United States, among others, experiencing those lives based on real-world statistical data. Riverdeep's School Tycoon enables kids to build a school to their liking.
  • The missing technological element is true one-to-one computing, in which each student has a device he or she can work on, keep, customize, and take home. For true technological advance to occur, the computers must be personal to each learner. When used properly and well for education, these computers become extensions of the students' personal self and brain.

      Argument for BYOD as opposed to 1:1?

  • But resisting today's digital technology will be truly lethal to our children's education. They live in an incredibly fast-moving world significantly different than the one we grew up in. The number-one technology request of today's students is to have email and instant messaging always available and part of school. They not only need things faster than their teachers are used to providing them, they also have many other new learning needs as well, such as random access to information and multiple data streams.

      Truth.
  • First, consult the students.
  • For the digital age, we need new curricula, new organization, new architecture, new teaching, new student assessments, new parental connections, new administration procedures, and many other elements.

    I think proper, shared, collaborative information and ideas are more important than burying functionality beneath privacy restrictions and walls that will always be circumvented in some way by some one. - Word, timG

Teaching Children About Digital Footprints | Primary Tech - 0 views

  • Unfortunately, I’ve come across a number of resources which only focus on the negatives of digital footprints and promote a culture of fear. The message I like to promote is that we should protect our digital footprints and try to ensure that they are positive. Encouraging students to avoid posting or doing anything online just seems cou

Life on the Screen: Visual Literacy in Education | Edutopia - 0 views

  • nstead we need to teach students how to tell a story.
  • This is more than just teaching kids how to use computers. Kids already know this. They know how to use computers before they get to school.
    • Katy Vance
       
      It's true, and I guess it's more important to teach kids how to tech troubleshoot since it's crazy the holes they have... They need to be able to identify what they don't know and how to figure it out.
  • People seem to forget this fact, and often these are the same people who are running the society. They would rather spend money on the military than on the educational system, unaware that the military will bring them zippo. It's not a great idea to want to take over the world if you don't know what to do with it and how to run it. Nothing is accomplished through conquest. Everything is accomplished through education.

    This is something we need to think about as we help students to create their websites, post on their blogs and develop their online presence.
