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,

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.

120 or so teachers from Victoria who are part of a pilot where all of their students will have netbooks in hand in the next few months. There seems to be a growing commitment here to put technology in the hands of kids (instead of spending huge sums on stuff that students can’t use outside of the classroom) and to thinking about how practice and pedagogy changes when that happens.

  Of course, there's more to this story, isn't there? Once you purchase the equipment (not cheap) there is also the need to make sure that your network can handle it. If not, nobody will use the laptops - at least not to the extent that they COULD be used. And then, the idea of suggesting that districts increae their budgets so that the program could be sustained, is a tough sell. Yet, the alternative is to remain stuck in the 20th century mentality and approach to teaching and learning.

It’s not just about if every student had a computer; it’s about if every teacher had a computer as well. (As opposed to if every teacher had a whiteboard.) Imagine if our students were being taught in systems where technology was just a natural part of the way we created and constructed and connected and learned, that it was how we do our business. S

Educators Social networking has certainly made students’ lives easier. Students share homework, notes and test information before teachers and school administrators even know about it. Grade books and lesson plans have been digital for a while but teachers (much like older people in general) have been slower to visit social sites. These social sites for teachers are going to change some outdated thinking.

  I am also very curious about the flipped model for my classroom to an extent. It feels hard to trust that my kiddos/parents will practice their rote knowledge, ex. math facts, outside of school when you sometimes don't see homework come back all year from individual students. I have heard some interesting fixes to this, such as, having students perform the homework while you and the class do a fun activating activity such as a game, etc. This could work... but the question remains; what about kids that have no support at home, need help, and you can't give it to them because you are busy activating the thinking of 20+ other students? This is also a problem with the current model of education as it stands, those students that don't receive supports at home need more attention, we are only one person, and can't make up for all the lost attention/time at home the way we'd like to. So how can you leverage the technology to help those kids and give them more supports?

They did say that the students connect better when it is their own teacher. You would miss that connection if you just found videos from other people.
- Ryan Donnelly on 29 Jul 12
  
  Finding videos of other teachers doing your flipped lesson would feel impersonal, tend to alienate those students that are already weary of being connected in school, and most likely just have irrelevant material included amongst the important content. You can't tell a student, "Oh just ignore minute 2:30 to 2:45, they went out on a confusing tanget for a minute" because of their personality/teaching style. You NEED to have your own tangents/teaching style. It's what connects your students to you!

Free Technology for Teachers: 47 Alternatives to Using YouTube in the Classroom - 2 views

This article talks about many different resources available to teachers to use in the classroom when YouTube is not available as some school districts block it. The only one I have used is Hulu because I enjoy catching up on television shows online, but looking over this list makes me realize there are many tools for showing videos to students. I think it would be easier to use one of these instead of showing an old video tape on the television for several reasons including you could post the links online so students who miss class can watch them which is not always possible when you use regular videos.

Great lists. I have used a few of these sites. I have watched Ted Talks several times, but I tend to use it for my personal growth rather than in the classroom. How Stuff Works and The Future Channel are both great sites to use in the classroom. I have used both as a launch into a lesson. I have The Future Channel set up to notify me when new videos are available.

I wish the title didn't say "alternatives to youtube" but rather, "47 video sites - OTHER THAN Youtube." Youtube is powerful for its content, most of which is not available on the other sites. This harkens back to when schools would say, "We block youtube but we have teacher tube." It's not about having a 'tube.' It's about the content. Maybe I'm picking too much, but it drives me up a wall! :-)

Ran across this site, which provides free templates for any teacher looking for new forms, certificates (praise notices), calendars, organizers, assessment grids, etc. This could help save a great deal of time...not having to recreate the wheel or start a new from scratch. If not interested in using any featured, still a nice resource to gain ideas for clerical forms or visual aids.
