    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

    "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."

    I highlighted this area because I can easily add to this for the area we are studying (example South America) and bring it up to a 6th grade level.

    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.
  • Laura Foell on 24 Jun 12
     
    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.

    Simple Structures: The late Hilda Taba, noted social studies educator and curriculum developer, always emphasized that "kids need categories," or "pigeon-holes," if you will, into which they can fit new facts, concepts and ideas. Abundant learning theory supports this. The fact is that most teachers also appreciate having some simple structures with which to work.

    It took a bit of searching, but here are some elementary lessons to enhance student understandings of our global world. The homepage also has lessons geared for middle and high school students. Here is that link: http://www.globaled.org/curriculum3.html

    This paper "summarize(s) theory and research on intercultural competence, paying particular attention to existing approaches and tools for its assessment. We also review examples of the assessment of intercultural competence in the specific contexts of general education and college foreign language and study abroad programs. [The authors] hope that these resources will provide a useful basis to foreign language (and other) educators as they seek to understand and improve the intercultural competencies of their students.

    This is a great idea if you want to show the world to your students using the Google Maps street view. Here the example shows how to integrate the street view with a language lesson, but one could easily use it for other disciplines (Social Studies, Literature, etc...)
