  • According to Kamil, however, that's not necessarily a bad thing: "The important aspect, from my perspective, is that these were classroom programs that replaced about 10 percent of instructional time. What that means is that since there was no difference, the software programs were as good as the teacher." Such findings, Kamil explains, could signify a shift from teachers using technology as merely a supplement to using it as the means of instruction.
  • Despite the lack of data showing that technology has a tremendous effect in the classroom, teachers have found that using technology may help address students' specific learning needs.
  • "The only tool that has enough research behind it is plain, old word processing," MacArthur says. "Students with writing difficulties are able to produce a text that looks good, and they can go back and fix things without introducing new mistakes."

  • According to MacArthur, word-prediction software, which generates lists of potential words as students type initial letters into the computer, can also help students dramatically improve the legibility and spelling of their writing. In a 2006 article in the Handbook of Writing Research, "The Effects of New Technologies on Writing and Writing Processes," he explains that his series of three studies of 9- and 10-year-olds with severe spelling problems showed that these students' legible words increased from 55 to 85 percent, and their correctly spelled words rose from 42 to 75 percent.
  • Egli notes that using technology alone is not the answer to improving literacy, but the tools help teachers move students toward their individual learning goals. "Using some of the technologies we have now, we can do some things that many of us hoped to achieve for a lot of our special-needs kids—but at a much more efficient rate," she says.

  • A study carried out by Varnhagen et al. looked at IM communications between adolescents and found that ‘spelling ability was not highly correlated with new language use’ (Varnhagen 2010: 729). In some cases, those with better literacy skills used textisms more frequently than those who were poorer in terms of their spelling ability. These findings relate to the idea that ‘children who are comfortable with writing – those with good literacy skills – will be experimental and use textisms more than other children’ (Vosloo 2009: 3).
  • Text messaging is simply an evolution of technology creating a new form of language, and as long as children and adults are able to distinguish when to use formal and informal English in the correct context, texting will not dumb down literacy
  • Crystal (2008: 162) also claims “children could not be good at texting if they had not already developed considerable literacy awareness”. Being able to write in text language comes after mastering standard writing.

  • "The Berkeley's and [Massachusetts Institute of Technology's] of the world spearheaded the [webcast] movement long ago. Now YouTube has provided the platform for all universities," Lin says. "People think, 'YouTube' and they think entertainment, but there is an incredible amount of people coming to learn."

  • Yet we should not view Facebookas affording an entirely open space for the(re)presentation of self – with students able to ‘express their identity with relative free-dom’ as some commentators would claim (Thelwall 2007, 1).

      This annotation is useful as a way to counteract any negative thoughts about Facebook.
  • In particular the data show how the Facebookwalls were certainly func-tioning as a valuable means of exchange for those students who were making activeuse of Facebookwith their peers on the course. Indeed, in terms of education-relatedinteraction, Facebookwas used primarily for maintainingstrong links between peoplealready in relatively tight-knit, emotionally close offline relationships, rather thancreating new points of contact with a ‘glocalised’ community of students from othercourses or even institutions. In this sense we would concur with Ellison’s conclusionthat Facebookrepresents an ‘offline to online trend’ in that it serves a geographicallybound campus community, as opposed to the ‘online to offline trend’ often identifiedby internet researchers where people meet up with previously unknown online‘buddies’ in real life (Ellison, Steinfield, and Lampe 2007, 1144).

      Additional supporting data.
  • For example, it has been suggested that social networkingoffers the opportunity to re-engage individuals with learning and education,promoting a ‘critical thinking in learners’ about their learning, which is one of ‘thetraditional objectives’ of education’ (Bugeja 2006, 1).

    This article talks about children who use technology and how they are either better writers than children who don't use technology or at the same level. It gives us percentages which could help our statement and talks about the controversy between teachers and how some teachers don't want to expose their students to technology early but at the age of 13 computers become closer than teachers. This is a very good resource as well

    by Linda Roos and Kerry Lambert There is increasing evidence that the use of computer technology can positively effect the acquisition of literacy skills in students of all abilities and ages. Using technology to enhance reading and writing instruction can make learning activities more fun and help to create a lifelong love of reading.

netiquette rules

shared by jonathanl1 on 12 Sep 14 - No Cached
  • Simply stated, it's network etiquette -- that is, the etiquette of cyberspace. And "etiquette" means "the forms required by good breeding or prescribed by authority to be required in social or official life." In other words, netiquette is a set of rules for behaving and interacting properly online.
