New technologies provide opportunities but also responsibilities for students and teachers. The document examines initiatives to promote online safety, debates about online versus in-person learning, and research on the impacts of technology in the classroom.
Digital Students, Digital Parents
This document summarizes a presentation for parents about monitoring their children's technology use. The goals are to discuss how children use technology, how parents monitor that use, and parents' concerns. Basic strategies are provided to help parents discuss technology-related concerns with their children. Resources are shared that parents can reference in the future. Concerns discussed include privacy, inappropriate use, and cyberbullying. Suggestions are made for setting boundaries, asking questions, and joining social networks to better oversee children's online activities.
ACTFL 2013 1 hour cellphones
This document discusses using cellphones in the classroom to enhance language learning. It provides examples of how cellphones can be used for formative assessments through polling apps to check understanding. QR codes are suggested to provide easy access to additional resources and websites. The document also describes using cellphone apps like Animoto and Tellagami for summative assessments where students can demonstrate what they know through video. Bringing your own device, or BYOD, is advocated for if managed properly in the classroom.
Digital Natives Presentation
This document discusses how digital natives, those born after 1980, have grown up in a digital world and are comfortable using technology. It notes that digital natives have digital dossiers containing their online activities that they have little control over. The document also addresses issues like cyberbullying, information overload, and how educators and parents can help guide digital natives to safely navigate the online world.
Technology is Destroying our Minds, Bodies, and Communities
Technology is negatively impacting people's minds, bodies, and communities according to the document. It argues that technology is replacing in-person social interaction and making people lazier and less focused on education. It also claims that overuse of social media and devices can be addictive and affect people's mental health and children's development by reducing attention spans and increasing rates of issues like ADHD, anxiety, and depression. The document suggests limiting technology use and prioritizing quality family time without devices as ways to address these issues.
Alexandria School District - 21st Century Literacy
The document discusses the skills needed for literacy in the 21st century, including information literacy, digital media authoring, higher-order thinking, and global awareness. It argues that while traditional literacy skills are still important, students now need to be able to locate, evaluate, and use information effectively in a digital world, communicate using digital media, think critically, and understand issues from a global perspective. The document also addresses how teachers and students access and understand information differently today compared to the past.
Toolbelt Theory
Toolbelt Theory, how to give every student the tools they need for success. Traverse City, 23 June 2009
November Teaching And Learning
The document discusses reimagining education through online and blended learning models. Some key points include:
1) Schools should incorporate more online courses and resources to allow students to learn independently and at their own pace.
2) Learning communities can be built through online collaboration tools like blogs, podcasts, and social media where students create and share resources.
3) By embracing online and collective learning models, education can move beyond traditional assessments and focus more on student ownership of their learning.
Using technology to enhance classroom learning

It notes that while technology is increasingly present in young children's lives outside of schools, its use in early education settings remains limited. Some concerns regarding technology use in early education include prolonged screen time reducing physical activity and social skills, as well as developmentally inappropriate hardware, software, and content. However, the document also outlines opportunities technology provides, such as supporting language learning, math skills, and new literacies when integrated meaningfully. Frameworks for analyzing developmentally appropriate technology use are presented.

Downfalls of technology in the classroom
- 1. Downfalls of Technology in the Classroom Kurt Killewald
Editor's Notes
- Students spend more time in front of the computer screens than they do interacting with peers and teachers. According to Marcia Tate, more learning time is wasted by having students sit entirely too much! Technology also affects how children communicate outside of the classroom… Ex. Two boys went out to eat with Dad…Both boys were listening to their IPODs while Dad was reading the newspaper. Not a word was spoken for an hour! They are not forced to communicate verbally which allows some children to become withdrawn and anti-social.
- Students slip through the cracks…They either understand the meaning behind the lesson or they fall behind. Many children MASK their interest and comprehension while others are able to keep up. Interest levels vary among children just like their attention spans! Technology and software require time and effort to master! This can be an impediment for students that need to master skills that are necessary to work and function with the new technology.
- There is not enough research on technology and the effectiveness on children to determine that it should be the center of classroom instruction!
- Chatrooms, Instant Messenger, MySpace websites etc. all allow children to become victims of sexual assault. Children are growing up sooner than later! Children see celebrities and icons and want to be just like them!
- Children are not forced to learn material because they don’t have to! Technology-calculators, spell check etc. save them! They don’t really have to think!
