  • As more and more laptops find their way into middle and high schools, educators are using Google Docs to do collaborative exercises and help students follow along with the lesson plan. The students, however, are using it to organize running conversations behind teachers’ backs.

      Interesting point! Maybe something we could address in the curriculum and also inform teachers?

    How Harvey Mudd College is changing their teaching to prepare students for the world outside of school. This relates to the Newsweek article because their example is of how Harvey Mudd College went about encouraging woman participants in Computer Science degrees. Clearly, harvey Mudd College is doing something right since their students earn a lot of money.

      A great article on elementary school student research.
  • Fortunately, there are best practices for teachers to adopt and safe websites for learners to visit, which she shares here with THE Journal.

  • She and her mom were proud that she had done her own research. When she said that she got her information from Wikipedia, I suggested that she might wish to include her source on the project, but she did not want to. She did not know if she would be presenting the project to her classmates.

      nickyforest on 11 Feb 18
       
      Research from a 3rd grader was done using only Wikipedia and that was not cited on her research project.
  • My concern was not just about the credibility of using Wikipedia for academic purposes. The reading level was too advanced for a typical third-grader. Researchers (Anderson, 2012) have found the overall readability of numerous Wikipedia articles too difficult for many readers.
    • nickyforest
      nickyforest on 11 Feb 18
       
      Wikipedia is not written at a 3rd grade level, or for any elementary student for that matter.
  • How is the research process introduced to elementary students, particularly for using the internet? Are learners provided an age-appropriate online tutorial? Is there a standards document indicating skills that students should be developing in elementary grades for using technology to conduct research?  What guidelines/templates are students provided for developing their projects? Are they provided a checklist/rubric for how projects would be graded? Who sees their projects?  How do you make parents aware that their children will be doing internet research and that their children’s “online safety” has been considered?

      School districts in Kentucky have a virtual library where students can learn about how to do research.
  • ibrary media specialists in the School District of New Berlin (WI) developed a series of research guides and templates, organized by grade-bands. Templates for grades 4 to 6 combine a checklist or rubric.  Lankau, Parrish, Quillin and Schilling (2004) developed the Research Project Guide: A Handbook for Teachers and Studentsfor Humble Independent School District in Texas.

  • Access to high-speed Internet in schools is particularly important for rural and low-income communities. When Internet connections in schools are too slow, and students don’t have access at home, students miss the benefits of educational technologies altogether.

    This website talks about how most if not all schools have internet access, but they need to be stronger and low income families and communities should have the same access in their homes.

  • This lack of access particularly affects minorities. Only 55 percent of African-American and 57 percent of Hispanic households are able to access the Internet at home, and only 50 percent of residents in rural areas have high-speed Internet, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce.

    I found this website from a few years ago in our Diigo group. It explains that the lack of internet access in America is bad and that access is crucial to students because of the fact that we are becoming more dependent on internet access.
