Let Google Voice Rock the Classroom! - 0 views

  •  
    With Google Voice, learners can call in and leave messages that can be emailed, downloaded as .mp3 files, or embedded in web sites using the included html code. Basically, it's a way to create audio recordings, without the need for a computer or mic. Many classrooms and labs are set up with headsets with microphones or laptops with internal mics. Still, many are not. When you think about how many kids have the equipment at home, the chances are even lower. How many kids do you know that have access to a phone? Heck, many of them even have their own cell these days. Enter Google Voice. Let's roll with this and see what we can do.

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.
