The History 2.0 Classroom: Why Go 1:1 iPad? - 1 views

  • when used effectively and with specific goals in mind, iPads can have a positive impact on education
  • shouldn't be looked at as a computer, because it isn't...it is more than that.
  • one of the first points I make is that these are shared devices and the way we use them responsibly is to not open, delete or share any work that isn't yours.

What Is Technology? « My Island View - 3 views

  • what we consider to be technology, is totally dependent on when it was introduced into our lives.
  • Rarely do we refer to it or even think about the car as technology, because it has always been with us.
  • Educators should not be so arrogant as to think they have the ability to decide whether or not kids can use these tools for learning. The kids do it with, or without adult permission. Any educator has the right to choose to live in a cave, however, they do not have the right to drag their students in there with them.

  • As long as these technologies exist and continue to move forward, we as educators have an obligation to teach responsible and thoughtful use of these tools.

Whether the digital era improves society is up to its users - that's us | Danah Boyd | ... - 4 views

  • a battle between those with utopian and dystopian viewpoints, over who can have a more extreme perspective on technology. So where's the middle ground?
  • With this complexity in mind, I would like to introduce a question that I have been struggling with for the past few years: what role does social media play in generating or spreading societal fear?
  • We fear the things – and people – that we do not understand far more than the things we do,

  • The internet makes visible things that we want to see, but it also makes visible things that we don't want to see. It exposes us to people who are different. And this is the source of a great amount of fear.
  • Social media is here to stay. We need to get past the point in which we celebrate it or lament it in order to figure out how to live productively with it. We need people engaging critically with the dynamics that unfold as a result of a new structure of connecting people.
  • We all need to think critically about the information we create, consume and share. We all need to take responsibility for helping shape the world around us.

  • Silvia Rosenthal Tolisano, author of the Langwitches blog, notes, “it is [the teacher's] responsibility to use it beyond a ‘glorified projector screen’. It requires a shift in thinking from the teacher’s part to see a SmartBoard not ‘only’ as a teaching tool, but as a learning tool”

Actually, teachers DON'T have to learn technology - Redefining my role: Teacher as student - 2 views

  • t “most teachers” just don’t put in the effort to incorporate technology into their instruction. I would have to agree, but I think it’s important to ask, “Why should they?”
  • Or do they?… Are their colleagues telling them they have to? Are their administrators telling them they have to? Are the parents telling them they have to? If not, then they don’t have to learn it.
  • I believe it is our responsibility as educators to integrate technology into instruction as much as we are able to

Kids on the Internet: danah boyd's controversial idea that kids should be allowed to ro... - 2 views

  • She is not, of course, arguing that kids should be exposed to pornography, but rather that their response to it depends on the kid. By way of analogy, she says that when a 40-year-old is an alcoholic, the issue is not that he was exposed to alcohol at 21.

The Barriers To Using Social Media In Education (Part 1 of 2) - Edudemic - 1 views

  • 2012-13, The US department of Commerce ranked 55 industry sectors for their IT intensiveness, education ranked lowest (below coal mining). Education industry that bears the responsibility to prepare children for the world of tomorrow, itself is not ready to embrace the digital revolution with an open mind.
  • Indeed there are some real risks attached with children using social media and it can’t be taken lightly. But there are also dangers in crossing a road. Do we tell our kids not to cross the road? No, we don’t! We hold their hand and tell them how to do it.
  • So irrespective of whether or not you as an institution are ready to embrace the new digital ways of teaching, the revolution is already happening. If educators are left behind on social media, they will also fail in the simple role of being cultivators of curiosity.

Teaching Beyond Our Fears and Finding Balance Within -- THE Journal - 0 views

  • Just like we wouldn't allow a 16-year-old who has never driven to go on a solo trip in our new car, we have a responsibility to guide our students in discerning good technology usage. When teachers say, "No, I don't want it in my classroom," they are limiting potential for their learning environment and for each student individually.  We must reach beyond our fears, hesitantly if need be, and embrace change and technology so our students can be future-ready.
