The Internet is Forever… Sort of | Bit by Bit - 0 views

  •  
    "Geocities is a cautionary tale for all of us. Now that we've come to expect permanence from the Internet and move deeper into cloud computing, it's tempting to think that everything is safe and backed up. But, as the Archive Team reminds us, all that data, writing, photos, movies, etc. are at the mercy of corporations. The lesson to our students can't just be "be careful what you post on the Internet because it will be there forever," but must also include, "BACKUP what you've posted on the Internet, because it may not be there forever!""

    "The internet is indispensible, including in the exam situation. I'm sure that is would be a matter of very few years when most European countries will be on the same line."

Local schools try to cope with a cell phone invasion - 0 views

  • Anderson said cell phones are getting a second look at the senior high. As the phones have become more pervasive and more powerful, teachers and administrators have begun to look at ways they can be used as tools to enhance education rather than disrupt it. Students with Internet-capable phones have access to the district's Infinite Campus student management system, to check assignments, contact teachers and manage their school life online, he said. Mobile communications are an ever-growing part of what students have to cope with and manage, he said. "It's appropriate to bring that into our curriculum." While more and more students carry more and more powerful mobile phones, those who remain unconnected have one fewer option than they did several years ago. There's no point in a student keeping a few coins in his pocket in case he needs to use a pay phone - coin-operated phones have left the buildings. "I don't think they'd know how to use one," Anderson said.

Let's Stop Making Students Power Down at School - 2 views

  •  
    Unlike parents or teachers at their age, 21st century students are fortunate to have what Marco Torres refers to as "the global stage" which describes the worldwide publishing potential now offered by the Internet. Yet, for the most part students are performing on this stage completely devoid of teacher or adult influence. It is unfortunate that outside of school students operate in a world where they are interacting, publishing, and producing for thousands, yet as they enter the school building, they have to power down and produce work usually for an audience of one.
