  • As much as some people may yearn for the simpler times of the past, life will continue to move forward as the natural order of society requires.
  • If we do not take time to understand new information and how it interacts with what we do, we, as a profession, may go the way of typewriters, photographic film, super 8 film, 8 track cassettes, landline telephones, or block-ice refrigeration.
  • Staying up-to-date, relevant, on information in your own profession is a moral imperative. We can’t expect what we learned as college students to carry us through a 30 or 40-year career.

Howard Rheingold on how the five web literacies are becoming essential surviv... - 1 views

  • Net Smart is a book for an era where we’ve moved past just creating online identities and communities, but still have to educate ourselves on how to operate in day-to-day life.

iPads in Class | Scholastic.com - 2 views

  • Roslyn's rush of attention obscures how the district has undertaken this pilot systematically. "We've been studying 1:1 programs and what's made them successful," says Edward Salina Jr., assistant superintendent for human resources and administration. Both he and Brenner have closely aligned themselves with this project, including overseeing teacher professional development and seemingly small details such as consulting with students about the best iPad covers to buy.
  • Jody Bowie, a high school physics and earth science teacher at Putnam City High School in Northwest, Oklahoma, uses this program to push his students to write their own textbook. He uses an iPad in the classroom, taking advantage of the long battery life and his ability to import Google documents into the program for maximum flexibility.
