    Interesting article, are the youth really devoid of ethical thinking when using the web? Is this because there are no adults around to correct or give feedback to their behaviour?

10 Steps to Take Games Based Learning to the Next Level | edte.ch - 1 views

  • The clearest message from my experiences I can offer is to leverage the children’s enthusiasm into other areas of the curriculum.
  •  
    If you carefully choose the right sort of game it will engage the children in your class - in my opinion you have to take that as a given. It is what you do with that engaged group of children and how you make a difference to their learning that counts.

Big brands are failing social networking test | The Australian - 0 views

  •  
    "SOME of the biggest brands in Australia have been revealed as poor users of social media such as Facebook and Twitter -- often creating a presence there, only to then leave them dormant.

Employees are not administrators on their machines and the only browser that is currently offered is Internet Explorer. When I found out that Google have released policy templates that can be deployed through group policy for the Chrome browser and that there is now a Google Chrome enterprise msi available I began to do some testing.

Digital Media - GoodPlay project - 0 views

  •  
    With support from the MacArthur Foundation, the GoodPlay project explores the ethical character of young people's activities in the new digital media. We seek to understand how young people conceptualize their participation in virtual worlds and the ethical considerations that guide their conduct. We are exploring five themes which we believe to be undergoing reformulation in the digital age, with implications for ethics-identity, privacy, ownership and authorship, credibility, and participation.

The Seven Spaces of Technology in School Environments on Vimeo - 1 views

  •  
    "Matt Locke originally came up with the concept of the Six Spaces of technology (test.org.uk/​2007/​08/​10/​six-spaces-of-social-media/​). I added a seventh earlier this year, Data Spaces, and have played around with how education could harness these spaces, and the various transgressions between them, for learning. This short presentation tackles the potential of adjusting our physical school environments to harness technology even better. What happens when we map technological spaces to physical ones?"

  • "cloud computing" significantly lessens the need for traditional computer labs
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • While it may be tempting by those on some campuses to interpret the trend away from providing computer labs as opportunities to save on computing related space allocation and IT funding, they really represent a call for allocating space and funding in new ways.
  • The need to allocate resources properly will necessitate institutions to learn how to continue to meet challenge of creating non-traditional learning environments that support collaborative mobile computing.
