50 Free Collaboration Tools That Are Awesome for Education - 9 views

Love Zoho for students to work together on a presentation on a period in art history, or a study of the life and work of an artist. They could even create a group presentation with artist statement...

      Interesting point here: how drastic do we need to be in tailoring our teaching methods to the digital native crowd?

      I definitely agree that we should encourage our students to take part in determining some of the educational goals of the class!  "Teachers needn't master all technologies.  They should continue doing what they do best: leading discussion in the classrom."

      An interesting point: "Students could quite feasibly invent technological solutions to streamline homework submission and correction, freeing up teachers for more meaningful work."

      For some beginning teachers, they are lucky to be "natives" but there are still challenges they face with young students who are at their level or above when it comes to using technology.

      Empathy and a candidate's overall demeanor need to be considered in the hiring process!

      We need to get students as interested and engaged in school as they are when playing video games, etc.  We need to WORK WITH students and not work against the technology that they love in order to reach them.

    This is an eye opening article that alerts educators to get out of their comfort zones and work with students rather than against them. As digital natives, young students might just learn best by using technology and teachers need to recognize and embrace this. There were a few ideas that I didn't fully agree with, but lots of practical points were made in this article that could help beginning teachers to make the best of their first years.

    I read the same article and wondered what you thought about allowing students to use cell phones as a way to communicate within the classroom? Maybe from my perspective, it seems unnecessary because I will be teaching elementary students but what did you think?

    Maybe there are already companies out there doing this, but it seems like anyone who can create video games, or online games that incorporate the Core Standards for Teaching in content areas would be filthy rich. God I wish I could write code.
