    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.
  • Rob Reynolds on 29 Jul 10
     
    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.

  • I used the “CONTROL THE PRESENTATION” tool available to me as owner of the document.
  • if the children were to use the Google Talk client then we could be looking at a variety of different texts and not just something created in Google Presentation.
  • It is taking what the children enjoy doing and harnessing that engagement, attempting to merge and utilise the skills they use outside of school to impact on their engagement with their learning.

    Google Apps Presentation used to guide reading comprehension.  Tom's detailed explanation of how he set everything up, and any pitfalls to watch out for are always very useful.

    The following Search Education lessons were developed by Google Certified Teachers to help you do just that. The lessons are short, modular and not specific to any discipline so you can mix and match to what best fits the needs of your classroom. Additionally, all lessons come with a companion set of slides (and some with additional resources) to help you guide your in-class discussions.

    Four great articles have come to light lately that point to research being done and what many of us in the Ed Tech community have been saying for a long time might just be on the horizon. That is that this technology stuff can improve education.

  • Somehow we keep confusing technology use in the classroom with negative outcomes rather than seeing and understanding the exponential expansion of learning possibilities and the positive advantages our student will have in navigating the world of new jobs still unknown to us because of their familiarity with technology.

      This fear factor reasoning not only denies students access to the tools that will aid their learning, but it it also sets them up for troubles and potential failure in that they don't learn cyber responsibility in a guided way, but are left to the very "wolves" we think we are protecting them from.  "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil"  that's our current motto in education.

  • 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.

      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.

      Hard to get away from this "reality"  Even providing for technologist requires finances.
  • Too often the discussions about technology in schools are driven by finances and the technology itself.
  • Once a school begins to build this culture of collaboration, it soon becomes second nature for teachers to work in partnership with the technology facilitator, bringing new and innovative ideas into the classroom, learning new ways to meet the needs of all students, and exploring the possibilities to connect, communicate and create on a global scal

      I believe this is called "processing" information, making understanding from what you're reading.  The physical act of reading, is not what's important, it's making sense, and constructing knowledge and understanding from what you read.

  • Not only would it provide for deeper, more motivated learning, but a portfolio of meaningful projects is vastly more interesting for a prospective employer than a GPA on a transcript (we know because Khan Academy’s own hiring process cares a lot more about what someone has creatively produced than their GPA).

      Students who are looking for jobs with new innovative companies better stop worrying about their GPA and start thinking much more seriously about what they produce.
  • This liberates the rest of class time for peer tutoring, higher level interactions between teachers and students, and truly creative projects.

      Don't think that Khan, or any other tech tool can ever replace a teacher.  It just changes their job.  
  • We played a variation of freeze tag where we changed the size of the playing field and the number of “freezers”.  Students predicted and observed how the dynamics of the game changed as more freezers were added and the threshold needed to freeze everyone.  They were quick to draw analogies to other areas of science.
