ASCD EDge - Can Educators Ignore Social Media Any Longer? - 0 views

  • It takes time to learn the tools, time to learn the culture, and time to learn the strategies to effectively learn through social media.
  • The second and maybe more important harm comes from the educator not modeling for students the need and the tools for collaboration as we move further into their future.

Global Digital Citizen-The Role of the Teacher| The Committed Sardine - 1 views

  • With the huge potential that Information and communication technology has to offer for teaching and learning also comes a matching potential for distraction, illicit and inappropriate activity, and poor judgement.
  • The teacher holds a cornerstone role in the development of understanding, the appreciation of culture and diversity, and the formation of the moral and ethical basis that, like the cornerstone of a building, provides a strong and stable foundation for life in both the real and virtual world they co-inhabit.
  • The most salient lessons are not learned by avoidance but by facing you action, its impact, and the consequences.

  • All teachers are teachers of citizenship.
  • The teacher is no longer just the master of their subject. They are much, much more. Their classroom is no longer defined by four walls and a blackboard, but stretches far beyond the physical boundaries of their school. We are global teachers, ethicists, and moralists. We are masters of our subject and students of the world.

As We May Learn: Revisiting Bush -- Campus Technology - 0 views

  • Educators at all levels have not understood that learning is no longer about the past, as Bush’s memex was. It is no longer primarily about what has been said and done and described and proved, but, importantly, is about what is being said, and what is being done, and what is being described and what has not yet been proven.
  • asks the students to explain why Reginald or Julia made a particular comment in class yesterday, the answer is not on the Web. If you are working in the present progressive instead of in the past tense, then student answers will also be in the present progressive.

How to Set Auto-Expiration Dates for Shared Folders in Google Drive - 0 views

  • Set Expiration Dates & Temporarily Share Google Drive FoldersYou create a folder in Google Drive and share it with Public or a small group. You then specify a date/time when you want that shared link to expire. The script, at the specified time, will create a copy of your shared folder and delete the original one. Thus the shared links would no longer work though the folder and files will stay in your Google Drive.

How Teachers Use Technology: The Latest Research | Edutopia - 2 views

  • Rather than trying to stay ahead of their students with the content they teach, they should be staying ahead of their students in guiding them through the process of navigating and accessing content. If teachers are still trying to deliver content to their students the way teachers have historically, then they will easily burn out and feel overwhelmed. This is not to say that teachers should no longer teach, but it's not humanly possible for us to always know more than our students when information is just a click away.
  • Technology does not make teaching (or life) easier as much as it raises standards and extends one's capabilities.

Literacy is NOT Enough: 21st Century Fluencies for the Digital Age - Lee Crockett - You... - 1 views

  • It is no longer enough that we educate only to the standards of the traditional literacies. If students are to survive, let alone thrive, in the 21st-century culture of technology-driven automation, abundance and access to global labour markets, then independent thinking and its corollary, creative thinking, hold the highest currency.

ASCD Express 8.09 - The What and Why of a Professional Learning Network - 0 views

  • Members of any profession need to communicate and collaborate with colleagues to understand and improve their skills. Face-to-face collaboration is personal, but is limited by boundaries of time and space. Participants must have a common time and place for collaboration. Digital collaboration has no bounds of time or space, and collaboration can take place anytime with anyone, anywhere.
  • Technology is not a generational thing, it is a learning thing. It may be outside many educators’ comfort zones, but comfort zones are the biggest obstacles to education reform.
  • The time has come for educators to accept that they no longer have a choice about technology. To maintain relevance as educators, they need to employ relevant technology learning tools for education, connect and collaborate with other professionals to improve their skills and knowledge within their profession, and use PLNs to improve their profession and hold off the barbarian politicians and business people banging down the gates of education

  • The last 15 Web-frenzied years have upended the basic premise of school. The idea that content and knowledge and teachers are scarce and have to be collected into a local classroom during a certain time period in order to educate our children is no longer true.
