    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

  • She introduces the students, who start off quietly, a little wary of this newfangled sort of author visit. But soon they’re taking turns sharing their favorite characters and we forget the computers that connect us. It feels like we’re all in the same room, and the questions fly across the miles.
  • The video connection allows for some show and tell. I hold up the leaf collection from my school that sparked the idea for the book. The students also get a sneak peak at the outline I’m working on for my new project, a middle-grade mystery. I love the way they talk not just to me but to one another, building on ideas like readers do in any book club discussion.
  • Almost all authors have an online presence with Web sites and email links, so it’s often possible to send a quick note to inquire.

  • Once students are used to the technology (and they adapt more quickly than we do, most often) they’re happy to carry on a conversation as if the author is sitting in the room with them.

    What is going on in the heads of teenagers? Surprisingly or not, when teenagers go about their daily lives, especially when they communicate with others, their teenage brains do not function in the same way that adult brains do. This video segment from FRONTLINE: "Inside the Teenage Brain" explores some of the more striking differences between the brains of kids and the brains of their parents and teachers.

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.

  • 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.
    • mverbrugge50315
      mverbrugge50315 on 06 Aug 14
       
      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

shared by meineckee on 30 Jun 14 - No Cached
  • Children from rural Mexico may frequently feel uncomfortable in the American classroom environment. For starters, students may have grown up playing only with their siblings and cousins.
  • if a student is attending an American school for the first time, it may also be the first time he or she is surrounded by a different culture, language, food, and set of expectations for behavior. This can make a child feel very nervous, out of place, or shy.
  • the definition of a good education, or una buena educación, held by Mexican parents is far more comprehensive than the dominant American definition of a good education. For Mexican parents, the term una buena educación is a term used to refer to the broad education of a child rather than the solely the schooling of a child. In fact, the term in Spanish meaning “well-educated” is synonymous with the term ser gente decente, or “to be a good person.” A good education serves as the foundation for all other learning and instills in children a sense of moral, social, and personal responsibility. This includes teaching a child how to treat elders with respect, behave properly, and become a person of good moral standing.

  • While parents in rural Mexico place a very high value on education and learning English, mothers bring the cultural understanding that schooling is the responsibility of the teacher and the school rather than the parents. They often do not realize that most children entering kindergarten already know their ABCs, the colors and the numbers. A mother from rural Mexico might expect that her son or daughter would learn all of these things in school.
  • some new immigrant parents may work long hours, may be unable to read, or may fill the house with things other than books or school supplies.
  • she may not understand that teachers’ requests to bring in supplies are to be followed, that classroom open-houses are normally attended by parents, or that homework frequently comes before family time in many American households.
  • Without authentic caring relationships with educators, students may feel disillusioned with their schooling experience and struggle to do well in school
  • To show respect to a teacher, a student may refrain from acting silly or boisterous, may not call out, or may not ask a question if they feel like they would be bothering their teacher.
  • may feel uncomfortable performing in front of the class or displaying information upon request.
  • but would be very willing to share in a small group setting.
  • Assign small group work in class to create a less intimidating environment for a new student. Avoid asking a new student to display their knowledge in front of the class until that behavior seems more familiar. Allow the student to be bicultural! Treat his or her language and ethnicity as assets rather than hurdles to overcome.

    This article has a lot of good information on relating to students and parents originally from rural Mexico. There are many good points in the first and second chapters of the article.

    Personally I prefer Google Hangout, but it's the same concept. What a great way to get a good guest speaker from someone that may not be local and speak in person. Personally I like the idea for professional development. Can do it one-on-one with someone and get specific questions answered for your class as opposed to blanket topics/statements in large group professional development settings.

    I use Skype along with my husband's 5th grade classroom. His students read aloud to my kinder students as part of our literacy block. We rotate through the kids until everyone has had a turn and then we get new books and start over. It's a win, win for everyone!

    If you're looking to get started in the cryptocurrency world, one of the first things you'll need to do is create a Binance account. Binance is one of the largest and most popular cryptocurrency exchanges, so it's a good idea to have an account there. Creating a Binance account is relatively simple and only requires a few pieces of information from you. However, before you can start trading on Binance, you'll need to verify your account. This process can take a little bit of time, but it's worth it to make sure your account is secure. Once your account is verified, you'll be able to deposit money into it and start trading cryptocurrencies.

  • 3.  Additional Research - Teams are to become the class experts on their assigned "Hot Spot."  Each team must use at least three credible sources.  If the school subscribes to data bases through the library, students can use those during the research process. Students are to attribute sources using their title, name and credentials.  Students must be able to  show that the information gathered is valid and credible.  Students cite sources using MLA style.

    Tony Jackson describes what the American education system needs to leapfrog from its current status today, to one of innovation and effectiveness, especially as it prepares children for a global future. (00:15:29)
  • Deb Little on 19 Aug 12
     
    This video presentation by Tony Jackson is one I think educators need to view. He speaks about how we need to help our kids be globally competent by doing four things: 1) Kids need to investigate the world by asking questions that are globally significant. 2) Our kids need to recognize the perspectives of others in the world. 3) Our kids need to be able to communicate ideas to others in the world through technology, media, and nonverbal and verbal means. 4)Our kids need to understand that they can change the world with their knowledge and contributions.

    I'm with you, Sara. My own kids get a cell phone for Christmas freshman year and DON'T have Internet access, however the Ipod Touch has the Internet. (Kids bought themselves.) This has inspired me to not only poll kids on their Internet access on a computer but on their phone/Ipod as well.

    I agree with some of the comments about some kids not having access. But schools should be encouraged to make these available to those without access.
