    Loved this video Sarah...esp since it started out with Google Maps locating Saskatoon, Sask, Canada! Saskatoon is about 2 1/2 hours north from my hometown of Regina, Sask. (I might be a bit intimidated by the student in the video though...holy cow!! ..."That's your job" !!!!)

    Thanks Sharon, I thought that it was a great video too, and I liked the kids eyes and faces he made! haha I didn't even know he was pointing to a place in Canada, good job picking up on that !

    Are we prepared to teach the "Digital Natives"? This is such a cute video I couldn't help but share. The young boy asks a very important question- are we preparing our students to enter the digital world?

About - Creative Commons - 2 views

  • The idea of universal access to research, education, and culture is made possible by the Internet, but our legal and social systems don’t always allow that idea to be realized. Copyright was created long before the emergence of the Internet, and can make it hard to legally perform actions we take for granted on the network: copy, paste, edit source, and post to the Web. The default setting of copyright law requires all of these actions to have explicit permission, granted in advance, whether you’re an artist, teacher, scientist, librarian, policymaker, or just a regular user. To achieve the vision of universal access, someone needed to provide a free, public, and standardized infrastructure that creates a balance between the reality of the Internet and the reality of copyright laws. That someone is Creative Commons.

    Great resource for those (like me) who had never heard of "creative Commons"

    Creative Commons develops, supports, and stewards legal and technical infrastructure that maximizes digital creativity, sharing, and innovation. (quoted from article)

      This is such a great point, we have these strict safety guidelines in the schools, yet some students may be sharing every detail about their life on Facebook, Twitter or another social media. 
  • But the outcry against intrusions on privacy takes place against a backdrop where it's normal to share a steady stream of details about your life. My concern is that, if we make our schools into places where "normal" means having your browsing history tracked daily, people will take that level of supervision for granted.
  • try to make some sense about what learning can be within a context where there is a growing tension between constructive guidance and overbearing observation

The Life of a Butterfly: Introduction - 0 views

  •  
    A great Web Quest for 2nd grade students! Students pretend they are scientists and are exploring the stages of the butterfly life cycle. Students are split up into groups and explore one specific stage. They find their information from books, the internet, and YouTube videos! Then groups then share their findings!

    Not only about education, but I thought this was so ridiculous that it had to be shared

Quality Homework - A Smart Idea - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • Eighth-grade history students who relied on a spaced approach to learning had nearly double the retention rate of students who studied the same material in a consolidated unit, reported researchers from the University of California-San Diego in 2007.

      So are learning and retention the same thing?
