    I think blogging is the new persuasive essay - my thesis, finally. Truth is, I love writing essays. There's something satisfying about rendering the chaos of thoughts into an elegant form. But I love blogging more. It feels like playing.

    I did not know this. I wonder if my district will be doing this. The high school kids will be getting laptops this year. I sub. I am glad I am taking this class so I will be a wee bit familiar with Google Apps.

    I like the idea that you have access to all of your revisions. Too often students revised something and it is not really better. They might want to go back to the original one but they do not have it saved. This way they can go back and see the progress they have made. It is also an easy way for others to help with editing.

  • There are plenty of templates available for Google Docs. But if you can't find one that suits your needs, you can create your own.

    When I tried to use one of the Google Docs templates, I had difficulty changing the template. For example, I tried and tried to change "Mrs. Smith" in the sidebar to "Mrs. Little". I was not successful. Anyone know of tips for me?

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.
    • mverbrugge50315

      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.
    • mverbrugge50315

      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.
    • 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
  • mverbrugge50315 on 06 Aug 14
     
    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

    On this blog a fourth grade classroom teacher shares how she and another teacher (that she connected with via twitter) collaborated to use Skype to connect and complete a Mystery State Project. I think that this is a neat idea and that my fourth grade teachers would be interested in trying this.

    Edmodo provides teachers and students a secure place to connect and collaborate, share content and educational applications, and access homework, grades, class discussions and notifications. Our goal is to help educators harness the power of social media to customize the classroom for each and every learner.

    Facebook is not an option at our school. I don't see it ever being an option. Edmodo though is used in a local district and I just saw a presentation on it on last year. Looks very interesting.
  • Julie Bisher on 22 Jun 12
     
    I think edmodo would be good for sharing ideas between teachers on committees gathering materials for professional development.

    This article describes US culture seen through the eyes of an immaginary visitor to the country, as portrayed in US pop television programming. I am planning to discuss this with my students, and I thought I might piece together a youtube as "pre-reading" with some of the programming quoted in the article, if available.

    This Google Apps Consent Form is from a school district in California. It outlines how students will use Google Apps in their classroom and it also has a form for the student and parent to sign. It is important to think about this before having your students set up accounts.

    I like this. I think it clearly spells out proper usage of the Google Apps at school. I think it covers the topic well and is a good thing to use if one was going to use Google Apps at their school.
