Highlights
Internet = network of computers with limited access [Researchers & Government]

Other Considerations:
- "The vast majority of educators have yet to experience the transformative potential of new tools in terms of their own personal learning"
- "We need to rethink literacy to prepare students as readers, writers, editors, collaborators, and publishers."
- Child Internet Protection Act [CIPA]: teach appropriate use, include parents
World Wide Web - the system used to access the Internet using hypertext to access the various forms of information available on the world's different networks [email & instant messages are other non http systems that access the internet]

Journal Entry #1 (Class 1 & 2) 05/29/2014
ReplyDeleteChapter 1 What I’ve learned so far…
The immediacy/current/up-to-date/of-the-moment news, research and information on people with disabilities is readily accessible
The information is up-to-date because it is being contributed to by so many
For use by/contributed by teachers/those in the medical field/parents/children themselves
Sharing curriculum/individual forms/newsletters/photos/forms indicating child’s day+routine+behaviors can all be sent via email to families/child’s specialists or doctors (instead of a phone call, fax, or physical papers sent home that can get lost or be overwhelming) leads to much more efficiency and a documented record of communication
Learning first/teaching second: important to remember as I learn about technology for my classroom
Note on how to apply to my teaching: must remember confidentiality/permission etc.
As I read the book this is the quote that captivated my thinking, “… every person with access-- will have the ability to contribute ideas and experiences to the larger body of knowledge…” (Richardson, 2010, p.
ReplyDeleteAs an educator, I think it enthralls to importance of collaboration between teachers and students, which is pivotal in teaching and learning. Technology has becomes more accessible, therefore incorporating technology into the curriculum can allow for students to demonstrate and enhance their skills. Creating a community through a blog may give all students the opportunity to express their thoughts and opinions (key: Every blog has its purpose).
Read the first chapter and it had some initial information on where the book is going. Ended by explicitly stating that one of the most important jobs for an educator while teaching with technology is to instill responsible behavior in students. Students need to be protected, depending on their age, and need to learn what to avoid.
ReplyDeleteWhile working in class we learned how to clean up google drive and explored elements of our google + profiles. The most interesting part of my explorations were in google communities. Never even knew it existed! National Geographic Education Community: yes, please!
