The iThing in your
Home
Digital Citizenship
in an always connected world
Technology is about information
Creation, Distribution, Publication
The ability to publish information:
- flattened hierarchies
- eliminated distance barriers
- raised concerns of media literacy
- increased social connectivity
- mass, large-scale collaboration (Wikipedia, anyone?)
Previous responses:
- Blocking- Filtering-
Avoidance- Ignorance
Digital Citizenship Issues:
- Sexting
- Cyberbullying
- Manners are still manners
- Has the message changed? 
                                  Or just the medium
- Online Safety/Digital Citizenship
- Media Literacy education
- Give the freedom to fail
- Engage the culture
- Ask questions
- Be honest
- Create a generative, sharing culture
- Learn the "how," teach the "why"
talk to your kids

Editor's Notes

  • #2 Thank you all for coming Introduction - Talk about WIFI a bit Then LEAP
  • #4 Thank you all for coming Introduction - Talk about WIFI a bit Then LEAP
  • #7 Learning has changed as the world has changed - In 1789 - World was transformed by the invention of the Steam engine by James Watt People could reach others faster, travel increased exponentially and the world got smaller. We went from a generation of the steam engine to the search engine
  • #8 One of my favorite students (Sophie is starting Pre-K at Eanes elementary)
  • #10 How do we facilitate these forms of learning more effectively? The classroom has to shift, but we can’t add more people. There is still just one teacher, and adding technology doesn’t necessarily mean that teaching and learning will be any different
  • #11 This was the classroom at Eanes 8 years ago. and at many school districts, it’s still the norm. The computers in the back of the room were used for 15 minutes a week by each student. They were consumptive devices for the most part doing little skill and drill activities. Not real tech integration. Physically close to each other, but not really working collaboratively. SILOS
  • #12 Physical space has changed. Not bound to the desk or the computers in the back of the room. Kids collaborate more with technology as a tool, not as a device to consume all the time.
  • #18 Talk about the perception of the iPad and the “pass-back generation” that we’ve encountered. How do we utilize that engagement for learning
  • #19 Play is not a word we would use to describe what we are doing. Explore, Evaluate, analyze, create
  • #20 Communication in the 21st century has changed. From rotary phones to cell phones to smart phones to video chats.
  • #22 Not all change happens quickly. This is my parents on Jan 10, 2011. Their first ever text message after 5 years of pestering them about it. Now, my mom can’t stop texting...she’s worse than a teenager. 1500 text messages, now over.
  • #23 Famous video
  • #24 This is in Philadelphia
  • #25 This is in Philadelphia
  • #27 They even have apps to help with this.
  • #28 It’s more than just texting though and kids need to know the balance. Remember in grade school when you learned when to write a letter in personal or business format? Well today, kids need to know which type of communication is appropriate for which message?
  • #32 Content - what are they using technology for and how are they interacting with it Context - What are they doing before, during and after the interaction. Take time to talk with them about it. Child - Tune in and be an active participant in what they are learning and what interests them.
  • #34 SAMR Model - Dr. Ruben Puentadura Substituting - tech improves with no functional change (notes) Augmenting - using the tools to enhance the lesson and there is a functional change. (FaceTime audio note) Modification - tech promotes for redesign of tasks. (band on field recording Peak - tech creates new tasks and integration
  • #37 Thank you all for coming Introduction - Talk about WIFI a bit Then LEAP
  • #39 Web 1.0 - Ubiquitous information distribution - Static - Few publishers Web 2.0 - Ubiquitous information creation - Dynamic - LOLcats But what happens when literally ANYONE can create, distribute, and publish?
  • #42 What is your knee-jerk reaction to this photo?
  • #46 Thank you all for coming Introduction - Talk about WIFI a bit Then LEAP
  • #53 Thank you all for coming Introduction - Talk about WIFI a bit Then LEAP
  • #60 Access via web and create a web clip to stay signed in or sync to Google Calendar or app like CalPad Accessible for students and parents Easy for teachers to edit and maintain
