How Important Are Students' Digital Footprints? | Edutopia - 1 views

  • In many cases, one questionable photo or post can change how the student is viewed, and then in turn, negatively affect their future.

  • A digital footprintis any online information about a person that can be searched, shared, and seen by a large, invisible audience.

The Teacher's Guide To Flipped Classrooms - 0 views

    Since Jonathan Bergman and Aaron Sams first experimented with the idea in their Colorado classrooms in 2004, flipped learning has exploded onto the larger educational scene. It's been one of the hottest topics in education for several years running and doesn't seem to be losing steam.

A Fistful of Challenges for Ed Tech -- THE Journal - 0 views

  • But the No. 1 challenge in ed tech, according to the report, is with teachers themselves and the inadequacy of their preparation and ongoing training.

      How accuarte do you think this statement is? What is your reaction to it?
    • Stacy Kreitzer
       
      Not by choice. Lack of professional development and planning time.
    • DC Wilson
       
      I don't work in K-12 schools, but from what I've heard and read, it sounds accurate. This is something that college programs should be addressing to prepare future teachers as well as offering continuing ed courses for current teachers. Districts should be able to allocate resources to support this effort.
    • Gail Rebuck
       
      When a person has a drive to do something, they generally find a way. Although there may be other obstacles, there is truth to this statement.

      Time for training and planning is the most important factor.
    • Lou Sheehan
       
      How many hours a day do they suggest a teacher prepare and be trained?
  • "The challenge is due to the fact that despite the widespread agreement on its importance, training in digital literacy skills and techniques is rare in teacher education and school district professional development programs," the report said.
    • anonymous
       
      And, I would add, that the training is designed to teach the skills and not the pedagogy for using those skills in class. Teachers still see this as an aside to their job of teaching the content for the purpose of scoring high on the tests.
  • The third critical challenge cited by the authors was the failure of both technology and teaching practices to meet demands for differentiated, personalized learning.
    • anonymous
       
      And shouldn't that be an easy thing to do?

Will the Real Digital Native Please Stand Up? -- Campus Technology - 0 views

  • Certainly, there is no clinical evidence to back up any claims about physical changes in the brains of today's traditional-age students. But educators are providing anecdotal evidence of a shift in how students approach learning and education in general.

Will the Real Digital Native Please Stand Up? -- Campus Technology - 1 views

  • "It is how they perceive [the web] that makes them different in my opinion," he explains. "Many older people use the web, of course, but for digital natives the web is an integral part of their lives. They go there first, instinctively. And yes, some are better at it than others. I definitely agree that there is a continuum of capabilities among the digital natives. But if we are talking about what makes them different from previous generations, I believe it is this connection to the web."
    • anonymous
       
      If the difference is in whether or not they go to the web 'instinctively' then I think this guy just disproved his own point. MOST of us to to the web instinctively.'
  • She says this group of learners is more globally aware, thanks to the internet, and more adept at collaborative uses of the web.
    • anonymous
       
      And this definition has NOTHING to do with age.
  • "This generation definitely has a thematic approach to learning," she says, "which is not about, 'I'm a vessel--go ahead and fill me up.' It's about, 'I'm the master of my own educational destiny. Give me lots of input and I'll find what I think is most important.' Most of the [K-12] schools I talk to still believe that they are the custodians of knowledge. But for these kids, increasingly, [schools] are just one more source of input."

  • While Prensky's original definition might not survive close scrutiny a decade later--too generationally focused and without enough attention on how students use their devices--he was definitely on to something.

Learning and Laptops: Wikified Research Paper- Year 2 - 1 views

  • A WRP, or wikified research paper, is made on wikispaces.com and allows students to link to resources within their papers, along with embedding various images and videos within their papers
    • anonymous
       
      Note that she has them use a wiki. I'm not insisting on that because some districts still block wikis. Plus, it's then a matter of deciding on Public vs Private. If you choose Word then the links are there but it's just to be turned in - if that's your preference.
  • This knowledge of worldwide access to their papers has seemingly inspired students to give extra time and care to their papers, because they understand how many people could be reading them in the future. -Hannah L

State's graduation exam passes latest test - 1 views

  • The regulation calls for the state to provide 10 end-of-course exams, beginning with English literature, Algebra 1 and biology in 2010-11, with other English, math, science and social studies subjects being phased in through 2016-17.
    • anonymous
       
      I'm wonderfing what the other subjects will be.
  • School districts would be required to count the exams for at least one-third of a student's final grade or districts could use other options, including validated local assessments or Advanced Placement exams instead. Districts also could set up a project for students who failed exams.
    • anonymous
       
      So, someone at the state level will create a test that every student must pass, or they fail the course. Is there ANY DOUBT WHATSOEVER that teachers will now be teaching to that test? ALL curriculum around the state will have to change to match those tests.
  • Opponents of the exams told the regulatory commission that the testing program would cost too much to administer and be unfair to otherwise good students who perform poorly on standardized tests.
    • anonymous
       
      I think it's sad that their concern was first about the cost and not what it would do to teaching and learning in the state.

  • We understand the system now,
  • Some have said that the exams would discourage students who have a hard time taking tests and would prompt them to drop out.

Wired Up: Tuned out | Scholastic.com - 0 views

  • Recent reports from the Pew Internet and American Life Project show that 93 percent of youth ages 12 to 17 go online. Of those kids, 55 percent use social-networking sites (like Facebook and MySpace), and 64 percent are creating their own original content (such as blogs and wikis). Unlike watching television, using the Internet allows young people to take an active role; this move from consumption to participation affects the way they construct knowledge, develop their identity, and communicate with others. "Technology, from my perspective, has created an opportunity for students to use new digital-media resources to express themselves in ways that earlier generations could never have imagined,

      How can we use this to encourage more use of the technologies in schools?
  • Students today "more quickly tune out a teacher or someone who doesn't relate," she adds.
    • anonymous
       
      Do you agree witih this? Are non-techie teachers becomming irrelevant to kids and how they learn?
  • This is something Jim Gates hears a lot. As a coach for Pennsylvania's Classrooms for the Future project, he works to make technology available to students and teachers. He's also got a blog of his own called TipLine. "There's a growing disconnect between how kids embrace technology and where teachers' skill levels are," he says.
