    "The creator of the short-lived but popular Harvard version of the Am I Hot or Not? website said he will not have to leave school after being called before the Administrative Board yesterday afternoon. Mark E. Zuckerberg '06 said he was accused of breaching security, violating copyrights and violating individual privacy by creating the website, www.facemash.com, about two weeks ago."

    "The online behaviors of youth and how to improve and correct them are part of how James feels new media can be used to address the world's challenges .. In their research, the team has found that most young people are devoid of ethical thinking or consideration for others when using the web."

    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?

  • few subjects inspire more intellectual dishonesty and political puffery than "school reform." Since the 1960s, waves of "reform" haven't produced meaningful achievement gains.
  • no one has yet discovered transformative changes in curriculum or pedagogy, especially for inner-city schools, that are (in business lingo) "scalable" -- easily transferable to other schools, where they would predictably produce achievement gains.
  • The larger cause of failure is almost unmentionable: shrunken student motivation. Students, after all, have to do the work. If they aren't motivated, even capable teachers may fail.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Motivation is weak because more students (of all races and economic classes, let it be added) don't like school, don't work hard and don't do well.
  • Against these realities, school "reform" rhetoric is blissfully evasive. It is often an exercise in extravagant expectations.

  • Our beliefs limit our potential

  • PLN not PD
  • Roland Gesthuizen on 13 Sep 10
     
    one thing I have noticed when it comes to integrating information communication technologies (ICT), is that the teachers and the schools that really fly, the high performing schools...they don't come to my PD. They don't go to any PD. They understand that they, and their professional networks, are their own PD.

    Two decades after its birth, the World Wide Web is in decline, as simpler, sleeker services - think apps - are less about the searching and more about the getting. Chris Anderson explains how this new paradigm reflects the inevitable course of capitalism. And Michael Wolff explains why the new breed of media titan is forsaking the Web for more promising (and profitable) pastures.

  • Though centralized PC labs have been an important part of both campus space planning and IT infrastructure for the last two decades, this may be changing.
  • other kinds of student-centered academic computing support will certainly be required. This support will take the form of computer collaboration, friendly small group huddle areas, and virtual computer labs
  • "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.

    Here is a low budget production that does a better job of explaining the Victorian Ulranet than all the slideshows I have seen so far. It explains the different rooms of this intranet where parents, students and teachers will interact using the icons from the Ultranet website.

    "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. Research by public relations agency Burson Marsteller on Australia's top 20 brands indicates that many are bungling their approach to the emergent media channel of social networking."
