  •  
    "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."

    Amazing when you consider who this is really talking about and what happened next to this social software.

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.

    An interesting starting point for those considering developing a policy or consent form for parents prior to letting students use online tools - could also be useful in 1:1 laptop scenarios.

Neave.com - Interactive tools and toys by Paul Neave - 0 views

  •  
    Neave.com is my personal interactive playground; a place where I can explore my ideas and try out risky experiments that I wouldn't normally get the opportunity to make anywhere else. I often spend my days pointing and gazing in wonder at the world around me, and Neave.com allows me to turn my daydreams into reality.
  •  
    This site has possibilities for maths and art, and would be fantastic on an IWB...

CogDogRoo - StoryTools - 0 views

  •  
    Below you will find 50+ web tools you can use to create your own web-based story. Again, the mission is not to review or try every single one (that would be madness, I know), but pick one that sounds interesting and see if you can produce something. I have used each tool to produce an example of the original Dominoe story, plus links are provided, where available, to examples by other people. Please share your own examples or thoughts in the discussion area of this wiki.

Harvard Study Finds Teens Online Lack Ethics - 0 views

  •  
    "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?

Robert J. Samuelson - School reform's meager results - 0 views

  • 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.

    "few subjects inspire more intellectual dishonesty and political puffery than "school reform. Since the 1960s, waves of "reform" haven't produced meaningful achievement gains."
  •  
    Intersting to read about what many school reviews try to skip around.

The Innovative Educator: Want to be a great teacher? Don't go to PD. - 0 views

  • Our beliefs limit our potential
  • If the world is changing faster than you can change, then you lose control of the future.
  • PLN not PD
  •  
    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.
