    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

      Thanks for pointing out the mobile mouse pro. Have you used that before? There are A LOT of things to sift through on the edutecher website.

    What about students that don't have cell phones? My own kids aren't allowed to get on till their 16. Or what about the families that are low income?
  • Laurie Nielsen on 22 Jun 12
     
    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.
  • Sara Rael on 22 Jun 12
     
    Thanks Laurie, that is a good point. We do have a few Ipod Touches at our school if kids don't have one.

    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.

    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.

    This makes sense! Kids that have Facebook write more on a daily basis than they ever have before. It may not be in the correct form because they use shortened versions of words, but at least they are using their minds to form sentences! Kids meet new friends along the way and add them to their network. That's not to say they should be "aware" of who are real friends and who shouldn't be their friends. This article shows that kids have more confidence than they used to! Great article!

    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.

    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."

    Between the cat images and celebrity porn, the Internet actually manages to boast educational potential. Considerable educational potential, in fact. Even that Twitter thing the kids are into these days, with its 140-characters and its perpetual haze of pound signs, has its uses. More than 28, of course, but here's a nice little starting point
