    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

  • 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.

  • Look for videos of under 10 minutes in length. There are uploads of entire documentaries, movies, shows, etc. but you probably can’t devote one or more classes entirely to that source.
  • Try to find videos that do more than replace your talking head with another. The idea is to change the class pace, not replicate it.

  • Those who already use PowerPoint in classes can simply copy the URL of the clip selected, paste it into a slide, hit the space bar, and the link becomes "live."
  • As in the example above, take a few moments to ask for student feedback on what they saw.
  • A good listening exercise is to ask students to jot down the three major points or details they see in the video.
  • This generation of undergraduates grew up with video, but it’s no longer dazzled by it. It sees video as a ubiquitous vehicle in which information is communicated,
  • Third, don’t make the URL public unless your video is good enough to not add to the YouTube clutter, and it won’t get you into trouble. You need to own rights to any images you use before going public, but you can use most things for educational purposes as long as you don’t distribute them.

  • Classes could use Diigo to review content in a type of fact-checking activity. The internet could be used to research important points of study and see if that information can be confirmed with bookmarks.
  • Teaching students to research is a common standard across all grade levels, elementary, middle school, high school, and beyond. Diigo excels as a research tool: Students can save relevant websites to lists in their Diigo student accounts. Each saved bookmark captures the URL and a screenshot, and can be searched later. Students can highlight important information right on the website, using Diigo. Later, when students return to the website, they find the reason they saved the bookmark in the first place. Students can use virtual sticky notes to summarize the important points of information from the website. This activity will mimic the time-tested procedure of using note cards to summarize and organize research projects. Students working on similar topics can create and join groups in order to collaborate. Later, when students need to document their sources, Diigo can be used to recall website URLs for citing sources.

  • 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.

  • 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?

      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

    What Empathic Education Is: Reflection and Immersion Empathic Education is a system of education where empathy, the "walking in the shoes of others, " is taught through reflection and immersion. In Empathic Education, students read about empathy, they write about empathy, and they actually delve into the world of others and experience the joy and pain of people who are "not exactly like me."

    "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."

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.
