better

nobody wants them to change.

What is stopping us?

Change is here...

Helene Blowers has identified the new Digital Divide (Reality Check 2.010), as one between those with the skills to find and use information and those without. Among some of the skills she highlights are:

•Knowing how to “think” about search•Knowing how to validate soft information•Knowing how to get information to travel to you instead of chasing it•Knowing where to find information in new “hot” channel

Do you ask students what they

think of school?

Do you involve students in school

improvement?

When you involve student/learners

you become “future focused.”

Can schools discipline students for bad conduct

online?

• It depends...on campus yes with written and communicated rules.

• Schools have to be careful if the action takes place off of school grounds. Can report to police.

• Off campus that causes substantial and material threat on campus...???

Virtual Textbooks

Source: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/09/education/09textbook.html?_r=2&ref=education

At Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, a select group of freshmen received Kindles, an online book reader, instead of the textbooks.

Reading on the Kindle will get students to read

books independently, but it is also all-inclusive and boosts their reading and critical thinking skills

regardless of reading level, said Deanna Isley.

What I’d Buy Instead of an Interactive Whiteboard by Bill Ferriter, The Tempered Radical

• Give me $5,000-$6,000 to spend on a middle school classroom with 25 students and I’ll buy:

– 5 Netbook Computers Cost: $1,250

• Give me one netbook for every 5 kids in my classroom and I can create instant workstations for groups.

– 5 YEARS of VoiceThread for my Students Cost: $300

• With little digital skill, kids of all ages can interact in Socratic style conversations on school related topics with one another both in and out of school.

– 5 YEARS of Brainpop Access for my Classroom Cost: $731

• Brainpop is a service that creates short (3-5 minute) animated videos on topics across the curriculum.

– 5 YEARS of Access to Poll Everywhere Cost: $645

• What makes Poll Everywhere—an online application that allows teachers to create and deliver quick surveys—unique is that students can respond to surveys via text message from their cell phones, making the need for student responders obsolete in most middle school classrooms considering the number of students carrying cell phones to school each day.

– A Mid-Range Data Projector Cost: $595

– Total = $3,521– Camtasia Screencasting Software Cost: $179

Students need to be more involved in their own learning

Video Conferencing

• Connect with experts

• Virtual Field Trips

• Working Together

• Accessing previously unavailable courses

• Teaching the teachers

The single most important factor in a student's

achievement is the quality of his or her teacher.
