    I really liked the last comment by the writer. His kids are the same age as mine and I am thankful that mine were older before they had access to Facebook. But just the same we as educators need to know the good and the bad so we can help our students and their parents become better cyber citizens

    Abstract This presentation introduced Skype and how it can be used to: 1) connect teachers with other professionals - and save on long distance charges - even internationally 2) empower language teachers and tutors 3) give presentations and workshops 4) be a stepping stone to using more sophisticated technology in the classroom. It was noted that for those who are new to using technology in the language learning classroom, Skype is an effective way to experiment with technology, while minimizing the risk of things going wrong. Using Skype can help teachers improve their technology literacy and increase their confidence using technology in the language learning classroom. It provides an excellent stepping stone for those who are not entirely "fluent" with more sophisticated technologies.

Should Schools Monitor Students Social Media Accounts - 1 views

  • The company states that it actively looks for anything online that could threaten the safety and well-being of students in the district, including cyberbullying and threats of self-harm. These could be posts that are initiated from school, or not; using school-owned technology, or not. The technology also allows for the flagging and reporting of drug use or class-cutting – or really anything publicly posted by a student that could be viewed as problematic to the school

      Seems like a good service to take burden off of administrators as they have a full plate and in the grand scheme of things, $40,500 seems fairly reasonable. Curious if price is based on number of students in that school?
  • The reality of course is that if a child wants to circumvent tracking and monitoring software, it is pretty easy to do.

      Was a question I had, if district were to invest in a service, how easy would it be monitor. When our school caught kids drinking via Facebook/Twitter they caught on and changed settings to private.
  • Most people would agree that parents have a responsibility to keep tabs on what their kids are doing online.

      YES!! I'm amazed when I see some things on FB or Twitter for some of my students and how do parents not have more control and make them take it down.

  • that schools monitoring social media amounts to a violation of a student’s privacy. I am not particularly convinced of that. Most students I speak with are savvy enough to realize that what they post in public spaces online is open for anyone to see.

      With anit-bullying laws becoming more prevelant, the issue of privacy is going to become more irrelevant b/c it's actually against the law
  • $40,000 could be used to hire an additional school counselor, at least part-time. At a time when school budgets are shrinking and support staff are routinely being cut, are schools trying to cut corners by relying on a technological solution to a problem?
  • And are they right for doing so?
    • mverbrugge50315
      mverbrugge50315 on 06 Aug 14
       
      Our district needs to cut nearly $3 Million dollars from our budget over a two year period, so it's a matter of weighing priorities. Student safety vs other things in place. All depends what current money is going towards

    A service called Geo Listening is available for around $40,000 for districts to use and they monitor students social media. Questions about student privacy and whether this is a service schools can afford

    21 st century educational system makes its classrooms with no boundaries. Technology helps students learn anywhere. Many technological approaches bring the world into your classroom through video conferencing, social networking , etc. Through video conferencing, educators can engage their classrooms and watch students of one class interact with students of another class.

    "How can video clips embedded in multimedia presentations be used to improve learning in college courses? To answer this question, a review of the theoretical and research evidence on videos and the brain is presented first. That is followed by a description of the theory of multimedia learning as it relates to videos and a review of studies using videos over the past four decades in college courses. The results of these studies and the verbal and visual components of a video potentially provide a best fit to the characteristics of this Net Generation of students and a valid approach to tap their multiple intelligences and learning styles. Concrete guidelines are given for using available video technology in the classroom, selecting appropriate video clips for any class, and applying those clips as a systematic teaching tool. The use of clips can also attain 20 specific learning outcomes. Toward that end, 12 generic techniques with examples to integrate video clips into teaching across the college curriculum are described."

    This post is not about technology. It's about how we (humankind) have been wiring our brains to think about technology. We have quite a hole to climb out of. Not only are our brains already "wired to scout for the bad stuff," the Huffington Post reports, referring to what neuropsychologist and author Rick Hanson calls our "negativity bias."

    Google Drive is absolutely one of the essential tools in your teaching digital tool kit. Using Google Drive you can have both a cloud storage service available for you anytime anywhere together with a powerful productivity suite that includes tools to write a document, create a drawing, build a presentation, or make a spreadsheet.

  • The multi-cultural setting of international education lends itself to a more natural development of global citizenship
  • The second tool that can be used to advance these ideals is through the use of digital technology. For years, sites have offered classrooms the opportunity to link up with other classrooms in order to learn about each other’s cultures and countries, but the current trend is to take these partnerships beyond the traditional “what is life like in your country?” model.
  • Carl Spilles on 08 Apr 14
     
    I found this article highly connected to our topic about global empathy. After years of working in international schools, the setting is a great model I wish more people could experience. At a school with over 50 nationalities, students can't help but feel empathy when one of their classmates is effected by events back in their home country. The article also addresses the topic of digital technology to enhance the interenational school experience.
