Web Privacy - 0 views

  • Still, talking to strangers is different from handing over a set of your house keys. We’re learning how to draw the line between those extremes, and it’s a line that each of us will draw in different ways.

But it is going to take some time to learn how to live there.

Teaching the Essential Skills of the Mobile Classroom | Edutopia - 0 views

  • The Partnership for 21st Century Skills explicitly lists communication and collaboration together in their Framework for 21st Century Learning.
  • Greg Kulowiec (@gregkulowiec) reminded teachers, "Technology is not the emphasis. It's the tool to do thoughtful work." Apps will change. Operating systems, capabilities, and even devices change.
