    This article suggests that blended learning is better than either on-line learning or face-to-face learning. It further suggests that more research is needed to determine what type of learning is best for what type of student.

    This article is something I did not think about. Professors need to learn how to properly run an on-line class. Interesting topic.

    This blog emphasizes the importance of stressing being a "good citizen" when using the Internet with our students. A week was spent with the following learning objective: "A renewed focus on the choices we make and how they affect us, specifically about balance, responsibility and safety." Each day time was spent on some aspect of this objective. As a culminating activity, students were invited to an assembly where the theme was " Digital Citizenship mean..... to me" Students were able to share what they learned throughout the week.

    Michele I had read this article when reviewing them for our assignment. It was great to see all of the topics touched upon, especially about balancing on and off line activities. Love that they stressed being a good digital citizen just as we stress being a good citizen in general. I think we forget to stress some of these points with our students and that they are important in our online life even outside of school. The kids and adults alike.

    Our school was part of the NetGeneration of Youth program and we had a cultural exchange with two sister schools, one in LA and the other in Uganda. The students communicated over Ning and Skype and they collaborated during two celebrations "parties with a purpose" which allowed for a sharing of menus, music, and stories. The culminating project was a student/teacher exchange for three weeks in each country.

      It makes sense.

      Great idea!
  • "These conversations and activities can be really important, and can teach students valuable critical skills: how to find information online, how to examine the accuracy and source of information they find online, and how to be not only consumers of information, but active participants in creating it."

      Finding information on-line is a learned skill of knowledge. Examining the accuracy and source of information is one of the highest critical thinking skills, which develops with time, experience, and rich schemata.

      I agree

      The teachers are as good as the researches, since we have to keep up with the teens, and the technologies.
  • Social media tools hold great potential for developing important proficiencies that have to do with communicating and expressing ideas and thoughts, conducting research, and accessing and creating knowledge.
