Who are the digital natives? And what do they want? | Zero Percent Idle - 0 views

  • When I was a kid, I never got to customize The Mickey Mouse Club.
    • anonymous
       
      I did...my friends and I played games based on those shows, customizing them for ourselves.  Sure, we couldn't video it and put it on the web but that's a different question.  
  • A twentysomething in the workforce wants the new BlackBerry, Palm, or iPhone not because the old one is no longer cool, but because the new one does so much more.

      Wanting the latest tool because it does cool stuff doesn't make you an innovator.  It makes you a consumer of the kind that every company wants.  Remember, Steve Jobs is older than I am!

    Loved that video. Makes me wonder how I'm going to incorporate as much technology as I can into my own classroom.

      This is something that we should try to replicate either national or statewide in the United States. Maybe it's already been done?
  • VALA - Libraries, Technology and the Future Inc. is an independent Australian based not-for-profit organisation that aims to promote the use and understanding of information technology within libraries and the broader information sector. VALA also offers its members access to a dynamic and professional network of information technology practitioners. See our membership section for details.

    How can we try to accomodate students who have expectations like this, or grow up using technology at home? Interesting Digital Native Youtube video from VALA.

  •  
    The vision of K-12 students in today's classrooms 
  •  
    similar to the one done at the University level. The theme here is "engage me" to motivate and inspire teachers to use technology in engaging ways

    I was just watching the same one!

    Questions helpful to guiding student's understand the events that took place on 9/11/01. 
  •  
    So glad you posted this Jeff! It is hard enough for those of us who lived through it...and an extreme challenge to translate that to our students.
  •  
    I agree - this is extremely important, and I'm not sure I would be prepared to talk about this without reading over this. Thank you Jeff

NEW E*TRADE Baby -- Time Out - YouTube - 0 views

  •  
    So this isn't super educational, however it emphasizes the use of technology with children from an early age. We've seen lots of youtube videos of 15 month old babies using iPads and iPhones (my nephew included!) - yet here it is reinforced on a TV commercial.

      This is an interesting point because we've been drilled throughout high school and college to cite sources. 
  • The commons can be defined as those things we hold in common as a people. The National Park system is one example of the commons, so are the state parks.

  • ...5 more annotations...
  • These extensions mean, among other things, every generation fewer and fewer works will find their way into public domain. Public domain essentially means a work is no longer protected and anyone is free to use it.

  • A Creative Commons license doesn’t replace your copyright so much as let you decide what, if any rights you’re willing to let go of.
  • Quoting the non-legalese version is defined this way: This license lets others distribute, remix, tweak, and build upon your work, even commercially, as long as they credit you for the original creation. This is the most accommodating of licenses offered, in terms of what others can do with your works licensed under Attribution.

The Effects of Fast-Paced Cartoons - 0 views

  •  
    Interesting editorial accompanying recent research suggesting fast-paced cartoons impacted children's executive functioning. Notes the competing viewpoint--the digital native generation is adapting to the "ways that will make it well suited to the fast-paced world they will grow to inherit"
