Citing clip art : It's a professional issue first, and a legal issue second - 2 views

  • There seems to be some confusion in several places on the net about whether you have to “cite” (the way some students say acknowledge) clip art or not in a paper. This question has arisen because the writer cannot find a rule in their style guide about it, or because they see many others using clip art without noting the source.

Why iPad Textbooks Are Still Too Expensive for Schools [INFOGRAPHIC] - 5 views

  •  
    The title implies digital texts are more expensive, but the article states their functional cost is about the same. A digital version offers far more functionality for the about the same money, not to mention all the other learning resources provided by the iPad it runs on. I received the same infographic the article cites, and the same organization sent me this one two weeks earlier: http://www.onlineeducation.net/can-tech-save-education

  •  
    Yes, the digital books themselves have the same overall cost overtime as a traditional textbook, however the point the author is trying to make is that with the overhead cost of purchasing an iPad for each student, it costs significantly more per student to have iPad textbooks, than it would with traditional "book" textbooks. The title may be somewhat misleading, however for already cash-strapped districts it is an important question to ponder.
  •  
    Including the cost of an iPad in the cost of a digital textbook is like including the cost of the classroom desk on which a traditional textbook would sit. Most schools would not (and should not) invest in iPads solely or even primarily to facilitate digital textbooks. They invest in 1:1 environments for more important reasons (personalized learning, increased engagement, ubiquitous access to information, etc), and many schools are abandoning textbooks altogether. Waverly-Shell Rock middle school diverted its textbook dollars to the purchase of mobile apps for their students. Rapidly changing content results in open content options such as http://www.ck12.org

Worksheets & Handouts | Play and learn: Being online - 0 views

  • Today, children are going online at an increasingly young age; therefore this book aims at introducing concepts of modern technology in their daily vocabulary and activities. Whilst this activity book offers children from 4 to 8 years of age 30 pages of fun and games, it also leads them to sharpen their basic language and mathematical, social and cultural skills. It gives them a glimpse of the impact modern technology can have on their everyday life. Above all it offers an opportunity for parents and teachers to sit together with their children and discuss these important issues. Although the activity book was created in such a way that young children can enjoy and do the games alone, many of the exercises do have a deeper level. The booklet endeavours to encourage parents and teachers to talk about topics such as privacy and modern technology with their children and pupils starting from a very young age as these issues undoubtedly already play an important role in their lives. The table on page 4 offers parents and teachers an overview of the themes that are touched upon and the exercises that go with them. Additional information can be found at www.saferinternet.org. We encourage you to read these guidelines as they will provide more sample information about the pedagogical objectives behind each game and the messages the children will hopefully pick up

    What it's like for this generation of students to be so immersed in technology...
  •  
    Frontline did a program on students spending all of their time online while growing up. Students can connect with so many people with social media. That can be a good and a bad thing. There are a lot of safety issues students need to know about with social media. This program talks about who should talk to students about the safety of social media and what needs to be said.

College Presidents Have Problems With Obama's Message On Tuition : The Two-Way : NPR - 0 views

  • His message to colleges and universities: "You can't assume that you'll just jack up tuition every single year. If you can't stop tuition from going up, then the funding you get from taxpayers each year will go down."
  • "The president wants to mimic the 'Race to the Top' program used to reform K-12 education, by creating Race to the Top grants for colleges and universities that come up with ways to keep tuition in check. Higher ed officials say this smells like another example of federal overreach into higher ed, a system which, as the president acknowledged in his speech at the University of Michigan today, is viewed by many as the world's finest.
