    All to often, teachers and students leave their email accounts "live" on an ipad they used for a project. Instructing people on how the iPad was meant for a single user and not multi-user situations and what that means for privacy is a BIG DEAL!

    This is a vital bit of info to have if you need to get a copy of a student's search history! Of course, there are more positive reasons to know the process, but real is real!

    Crisp and clean eportfolio...the predictability of each page (standard, 2 artifacts, description and rationale for each) allowed me to focus in on the content being presented. It would have been nice to see some zippier artifacts (there seemed to be a lot of text heavy docs). The predictability of the layout would allow you room to put in the craziest, most creative artifacts without having to worry about your reader/reviewer getting lost.

    When George Couros linked Brad Gustafson to the phrase "innovate inside the box", I knew I'd need to find and follow him. I think we all need to strive to be more innovative with what we have; taxpayers can't always be asked for more. And then I discovered he also highlights World Book Talking Championships on his blog. Yes! Both the librarian and the tech integrationist in me are intrigued!

  • Most research supports starting students on formal keyboarding around grade 4,
  • We encourage students to pretend there's a line down the middle of the keyboard and to keep the right hand to the right of the line and the left hand to the left. We also encourage them to type with more than one finger because they may tend to use just the index finger. For later instruction, it's good for students to develop the habit of using more than one finger early on."
  • "If you combine keyboarding with letter-recognition and hand-eye coordination activities in grades K-3, then you provide a developmentally appropriate skill that helps reinforce classroom learning and develop fine motor skills,"

  • "the four:" sitting up; having feet in front, on the floor; looking up more than down; and using the home row keys.

    Some very practical advice for integrating keyboarding as supporting academic/developmental skill instead of displacing them. Teaching tips, things to watch out for.

  • How could we use Google Docs to complete assignments? Wouldn’t these tools allow students to complete unfinished work at home? Making connections between the technology and the academics had begun.

  • some feel "tech prep" is a waste of time, but far more view it as a crucial set of skills that does double duty.
  • SETDA advocates blending computer skills seamlessly into instruction, rather than teaching them in isolation.

      Yes, but some skill lesson has to happen or poor habits will develop and their skills will bottom out way to soon.

  • Of course, some computer skills are valuable, like keyboarding, creating multimedia projects, manipulating programs they'd use in life and school,
  • "They can run an iPhone like a champ, or the iPads we have here at school. But they're not that exposed to keyboarding skills or using the mouse to move something up and down on a screen."
  • said her students have been honing their keyboarding skills while using an online curriculum for computer coding.

      Love this!
  • Using an online math program, they learn to move and click a mouse, and cut and paste text. As they move through the grades, they add more skills, integrated into their core-content study, Ms. Warr said.
  • "If we were trying to teach the tech skills in isolation, there would be a huge pushback [from teachers], but we integrate them into other subjects," Ms. Warr said.

      But this has to start young so it builds. Teachers need help in how to make this happen seamlessly.
  • But because the Smarter Balanced assessment expects more "writing in one shot" online, he's encouraging teachers to shift their "quick writes" to the computer, he said.

  • 1st graders are starting with a free online game called Dance Mat, where they pick out letters one at a time, and work up to typing their names, Mr. Decker said. In 2nd grade, students begin using an online program called Type To Learn three times a week. Third and 4th graders continue it twice a week, and by 5th grade, it's down to weekly.

    In this article, teachers and administrators share their desire to differentiate between computer skills that are test-based only and those that are actually life skills, too, and then figure out how to work those into the school day in a constructive way.

    A principal relates how his elementary school is transforming itself to a PBL school. An interesting take: his role is that of a teacher guiding his staff through their PBL project: transforming their teaching!
