      Educators could use this tool to monitor students and their use of technology. It could also be useful to parents or guardians, as the tool records activity on a students computer.

      SchoolMessenger would be a great tool to ensure effective communication, via voice message, email, ect. for educators, adminstrators, and parents. And, it allows for translation in various languages!

      This would be a great tool for students who are not strong in their reading and writing skills. It allows for a voice to provide audio for listening during typing and searching.

  • Angela Ash on 12 Jul 11
     
    This site has taught me the endless options of tool available for educators. In alphabetical order, tools are listed for educators to search through, and find tools they could apply to their classroom. Links to the tools with information to each tool is available at their fingertips. It would be impossible for any educator to search this site and not find a tool that is interesting or applicable to their subject.

      Allowing users to explore and search for topics based on tags is convenient and may get more people interested.

    I was most interested in the responses from this article that are listed below the actual article. One response recommended www.fatclass.com as a social networking tool that works great in the classroom. "Andy Carvin: Internet activist, author, Edtech expert. Learning.now is a weblog that explores how new technology and Internet culture affect how educators teach and children learn. It will offer a continuing look at how new technology such as wikis, blogs, vlogs, RSS, podcasts, social networking sites, and the always-on culture of the Internet are impacting teacher and students' lives both inside and out of the classroom."

    I also see another response listing www.teachersrecess.com. That sounds interesting too!

      These facts are very interesting and I had no idea that this was the case! These statistics prove that we, as teaching professionals, cannot ignore the impact that social networking has on the kids that we will be teaching. They are going to be using these tools and using them a lot, so we should reach them on their level.

      I'm surprised by the fact of 50% of students talk online about hw. Honestly, I thought it would be less than that.

      Everyone knows my love of Facebook by now. I really think Facebook can be used in so many ways: groups, posting school work as statuses, posting links to websites and articles that can be used and shared, etc.

      Facebook is such a widely used social networking tool, I think you would be very hard-pressed to find someone who does not know how to use it. Kids can be steered in the direction of using it for educational and introspection purposes which they probably didn't consider. I love the idea of creating a page for a book character.
    • Daphne O'Donnell
      Daphne O'Donnell on 11 Jul 11
       
      Andrew, I like Facebook too. And I think that students and adults alike figure out how to use it with ease. I just worry about the over exposure for younger students, for instance the advertisements and so on.
    • Victoria Steele
      Victoria Steele on 11 Jul 11
       
      I think there is a ton of potential for Facebook to be used in the classroom but like Daphne said, could it lead to overexposure or to unwanted sites/people/ideas that are out there? Maybe somehow setting up very private settings would work best for teacher-student collaboration.

      Hard to include Club Penguin as a social networking site. My daughters used it when they were little and were more interested in the game than the limited networking aspect.

    Wiki based on statistics and information supporting use of social networking, and internet use in education. Although a little dated (2006) it's clear to see how things have progressed as expected through today. "Did you know 2.0" is a video worth the time.

      Note for art teachers that if students are creating work for others to critic they may take it more seriously. Especially true for those who think they aren't any good so they don't try.

  • discovering online possibilities is a skill
    • Kate Castle
      Kate Castle on 13 Jul 11
       
      Amen to that. It is most certainly a skill.
  • learning strategy shifts from a focus on information as such to judgment concerning reliable information, from memorizing information to how to find reliable sources. In short, from learning that to learning how, from content to process
    • Kate Castle
      Kate Castle on 13 Jul 11
       
      Just what Lynn and I were talking about! The learning is now about navigating the internet and interacting with information. It's learning a new culture.
  • In secondary schools and higher education, many administrators and individual teachers have been moved to limit use of collectively and collaboratively crafted knowledge sources, most notably Wikipedia, for course assignments or to issue quite stringent guidelines for their consultation and reference.26 This is a catastrophically anti-intellectual reaction to a knowledge-making, global phenomenon of epic proportions. . .

      Absolutely. Feels like a new culture to me!
  • freely available to all.
  • Individualized learning tends overwhelmingly to be hierarchical: one learns from the teacher or expert, on the basis overwhelmingly of copyright-protected publications bearing the current status of knowledge. Networked learning is at least peer-to-peer and more robustly many-to-many.

    This Wiki not only offers great insight through a video included called "Did you know 2.0" but through other quotes and references. Although it's a litte dated, 2006, it's amazing how its easy to see the progression from then to now five years later.

    Persuasive article using statistics to demonstrate the reason why we should be including social networking in our schools and for our students. Love the example of posting a paper for parents, peers and teachers to critique so students take it more seriously.

    Learn about the role the internet is playing in transforming education to shared and interactive learning. This article suggests 10 principals as "fundamental to the future of learning institutions." This article states that we are connected now through technology, and this is forming us into lifelong self-learners. In addtion, it talks about the credibility of where we seek information. Come read about how technology is changing education.
  • Emily Beyer on 13 Jul 11
     
    Number 2 in the list caught my eye because I remember memorizing so much information when I was in school. Whereas today, the process is stressed and simply knowing how to find the information needed is the key.

      This is so interesting. I think that students need to learn technology to be sucessful in their lives because technology is only going to grow, so it would be niave to think that we don't need to teach technology in schools.
  • another aspect of a social learning network is the potential to build global awareness among students.

      I had no thought about the language barrier as a complication. It would be interesting to see what other socail networking tools have the ability to translate.
  • Consider what tools, when implemented together in a holistic and thoughtful manner, can encourage collaboration, spark creativity, teach 21st-century skills, and address the needs and challenges of different socioeconomic environments.
  • Consider the following questions
    • Kate Castle
      Kate Castle on 13 Jul 11
       
      These are five really crucial questions. I suspect too they are very different approaches to teaching than what has been typical in the past.
  • what tools best fulfill the needs of each school and district’s environment
  • What should be encouraged is the next level of communication—collaboration.
  • create, invent, and showcase their work
  • as many as 70% of the new jobs recently created in the U.S. are positions that require interactions between people and involve judgment, insight, and collaboration.
    • Kate Castle
      Kate Castle on 13 Jul 11
       
      Students need to be aware in a different way than before. Learning is no longer a passive activity. This new interactive stance fosters the skills of judgement, insight, and collaboration that employers are looking for.
  • the framework suggests three overarching student outcomes, including life and career skills; learning and innovation skills; and information, media, and technology skills. Ultimately, the Partnership is advocating for educators and students to consider the implication of skills beyond the basic subject areas that are critical to success in the 21st century.

      Kate Castle on 13 Jul 11
       
      It makes me happy to see that it is obvious to people that producing a literate student involves more than teaching him or her the core subjects. Learning how to learn, meta-learning (has anyone coined that one yet?) is THE indispensable skill of the 21st century it seems. If I take nothing from this class, it will be that.
