I've been thinking a lot about Least Restrictive Environment quite a bit in terms of internet filtering. If we are truly going to prepare students for college, career, and citizenship, we must be preparing them within as authentic a "real life" learning environment as possible.

Couldn't agree with you more. All the worries (inappropriate, controversial, miss informational sites, etc) are exactly what students will face in the "real life" environment. In fact, they already do. They need to experience this in school as well, as this is the place they will begin to establish a set of values and acquire the skills to discern what information is valuable to them. In our efforts to "protect" students, we are robbing them of these needed skills. I would argue that the Viagra adds during the Super Bowl are just as bad. Let's move away from a fear-based model of filtering to a more pro-active model of educating.

Hey Matt, a very interesting take on access! My argument has been that in locked down environments, kids can't develop ethics or appropriate use habits which are critical in life. You have to allow the possibility of misuse to test whether the ethic is in place, so this skill can't be demonstrated and is not developed in some systems. Nothing like developing internal locus of control.... much like intrinsic motivation.

Interactive Whiteboards in the Classroom - 1 views

Now, some would argue for the tablets or slates that connect with these IWBs.That is still one kid at a time manipulating and interacting.
- Diane Woodard on 06 Jan 10
  
  I have to wonder about this. I would suggest that some teachers only use the slate as a mobile mouse. I would suggest that if you have an itouch use the air mouse or touchpad elite. This will accomplish the same task. I wonder if this would allow multiple students to use their itouch?

Laptops, Netbooks, Document Cameras, Flip Video, anything that gets all kids using technology and interacting with technology, together.

  I would have to add to this list...iTouch. I am finding more and more ways to use the iTouch in the teaching/learning environment. The K-12 on-line conference has some great podcasts on this topic. I am also a part of a Diigo group called ipods in education that has some great resources!
