Texting 1, 2, 3: Schools Test 'Bring Your Own Technology' Programs | Techland | TIME.com - 1 views

  • As protesters took to the streets yesterday to protest the inequality of wealth, two computer scientists in Portland, Oregon are protesting the inequality of resources in schools.
  • t Celly, a text-messaging service that teachers and students can use to make classwork more fun and engaging
  • Celly is part of a larger national trend in schools known as “Bring Your Own Technology (BYOT),” in which students are allowed to bring their mobile devices to class. Advocates argue that if young people are already glued to them, then teachers and principals should come up with educational uses for them

  • “We wanted to make a platform that could be used by all kids, teens, and college students and that cuts across demographics,” Okamoto says. “You don’t just have to have iPads or live in a very wealthy school district.”
  • ach school or class can create a group for themselves called a “cell” that users may access straight from their phone, email, or the Internet. They text to personal screen names, and to prevent cyber-bullying or inappropriate conduct, they cannot see each other’s numbers.
  • “The shy kids don’t like to talk during regular group discussions, but they’re really active on Celly,” he says.
  • Still, thanks to BYOT, high school is not so bad after all,
  • But experts say providing technology is the responsibility of schools, not parents.
  • “BYOT is pushing costs that should be paid by federal, state, or city governments to the families, like asking them to pay for the amount of bandwidth students need to do their work
  • Educational consultant Gary Stager agrees, arguing that BYOT just makes have-nots feel worse.  “The rationale for school uniforms, for putting kids in matching plaid polyester, is so poor kids don’t feel bad and aren’t stigmatized in the classroom.  BYOT is another form of stigmatizing kids,” he says.

      Interesting article about the BYOT and the Celly network.   I love the idea of the Celly network, and think ASF should look into it.  This article resonates with me because it touched upon one argument against BYOT, which is simply that such a program separates the "haves" from the "have nots".

Technology makes art education a bigger draw | eSchool News - 0 views

  • software designed to mimic traditional painting
  • Whether they use video or artwork, they still manipulate the medium and create something that’s a story.
  • It doesn’t matter the age; these kids are so technology adept that all you have to do is show them the basics and they just take off," she said. "I think [technology] can replace some of the traditional forms of art instruction, but I think there’s a need for the tactile feel of clay and paint, and getting dirty–it’s a real need. Until some of the software has a more haptic feel to it, that need is going to continue to be there–and I can take clay and teach something that I can’t teach with a computer program.

      Multiple Shifts.  Assessment advances are just one of six shifts that most American schools will experience in this decade: Print to digital Flat & sequential to engaging & adaptive experiences Annual tests to instant feedback Cohorts to individual progress Individual teacher practice to teams School as place to learning as blended services With improved access and more powerful tools, assessment is undergoing four shifts: Periodic to continuous: all day long not just end of unit/year Foreground to background: most assessment will be embedded within learning experiences, produced products, and observed behaviors Artificial to authentic: simulations and real work products rather than bubble sheets Heavyweight to lightweight: when every student has a huge standards-based gradebook, a simple sample will sufficient for summative assessment
