AASA :: Harnessing Kids' Tech Fascination - 0 views

  • Executive Perspective Harnessing Kids’ Tech Fascinationby DANIEL A. DOMENECH I am intimidated by people like Alan November whose fingers glide over their computer keys and in the process go to websites that offer the answers to all the questions that would otherwise go unanswered. I do e-mail and an occasional PowerPoint presentation. I am proud of the fact I now can do e-mail on my BlackBerry as well. That’s the extent of my prowess in technology. Daniel A. Domenech Jillian, my 17-year-old high school senior, is another story. She sleeps with her iPhone under her pillow. If it were waterproof, I am sure that she would bathe with it. She does incredible things with her MacBook, from videos to post on YouTube to the content of her Facebook pages. Getting her to do her homework is a challenge, but getting her to turn off her tech tools and go to sleep is an even bigger challenge.This is the message that November, Keith Krueger and other presenters at our AASA Seattle Summit in midsummer conveyed: Education is missing the boat by not taking advantage of the love affair between our kids and technology.Personal PanicI was a young superintendent

Personal Panic I was a young superintendent on Long Island, N.Y., when, in 1978, I bought the first set of Commodore PET computers for our schools. You could play Space Invaders on it, but mostly you had to learn to program the darn thing to get it to do anything. High school courses focused primarily on learning programming language. Few could afford to buy a Commodore for home use and the power of the Internet had yet to be unleashed.

Protests against anti Islamic film in Egypt - 0 views

  •  
    Islam is the religion of peace and harmony. It teaches the tolerance and to give respect to all the religions and their Prophets. However, unfortunately Muslims have, always been exploited and misunderstood by the west. A very incidence of anti Islamic film has spread the rage across the Muslim world. This anti Islamic film is the sign of blind freedom of expression in the west. This film is propaganda and is, produced to invoke the Muslim's extreme reaction. Thus, it gives the right insight to motives of an extremist driving force working behind such kind of incidences. Protests are, held in a number of countries across the world. Some were peaceful others turned into violence. Muslims need to know the real aim of those inhumane actors working behind these blasphemous acts. They should have to tell the world that they should not lose their senses while protesting against such anti Islamic act. Like in many countries, other people have lost their lives during these protests by action of security forces or in some cases, by some unknown attackers who took advantage to get their aims. One of the prominent country in which Muslims protested is Egypt where in Cairo some 200 young men stormed the US embassy and this crowd was then dispersed by the security forces with tear gas. Due to concerns over the turning of the protesting rallies into some violent clash, Islamist party called off the rally even then thousands of people protested in demonstrations at different parts of Egypt.

Nine Survey Tools for Teachers and Students - 0 views

  •  
    I think placing a survey or poll on your classroom blog or website is a great way to get informal feedback from your students. I usually put a survey on my class blog a week or so before any formal assessment that my students are going to take. That feedback helps me identify the areas that my students need more help and or clarification on. - R M Byrne

VidMe - 0 views

  •  
    YouTube is the most popular online video sharing network but it does not offer the privacy many of us would prefer. In order to better control who gets to see your videos, log on to VidMe. The difference between YouTube and VidMe is that videos shared using VidMe work only for the intended recipient and cannot be forwarded, downloaded, or made viral without the video owner's approval. *Maybe a good place to put student vids - Don't forget Schooltube
