Nurturing Digital Citizens - Digital Storytelling with Primary ProsumersKevin Amboe
This document discusses digital storytelling with primary students. It provides an overview of the Educational Resource Acquisition Consortium (ERAC) which supports classrooms with 24/7 access to 17 digital resources through the BC Digital Classroom collection. The document outlines various tools that primary students can use to capture and share their learning through digital artifacts like photos, video, voice recordings, comic books and presentation apps. It encourages nurturing young digital citizens and ensuring learning opportunities allow for free play, engagement, idea generation and risk-taking. Teachers are asked to consider how they will support their students' passion and ensure they reach their potential this week.
Last year Surrey started a process to infuse Making into the Surrey Learning Culture. Starting the process we provided 2 mini maker kits to every school that was interested in exploring the concept. We spent more than a month developing an ideal set of maker kits to be delivered to 30 schools to transform space and opportunities for learning differently. The Maker Movement has been growing in recent years. The movement is coming to Surrey in a big way. Come learn what we have done to empower teachers to join this movement that involves learning with hands on, tinkering, fixing, building mindsets.
Digital storytelling uses digital media like images, videos, and audio recordings to tell stories. It can be used in early childhood classrooms to write stories documenting learning, recapping field trips or units, or sharing daily routines. Digital storytelling promotes early literacy, language, writing, listening, cooperative play, relationship building, and technology skills.
An e-portfolio is a collection of digital artifacts created by a learner to demonstrate their experiences, achievements, and learning over time. E-portfolios allow learners to aggregate and reflect on work, feedback, and ideas. This document discusses using e-portfolios and a community of practice approach to support language learning, with students creating e-portfolios using Mahara software. Key aspects of support include sharing resources, support areas, hands-on sessions, and a cycle of review to inform ongoing development.
This document discusses how iPads can be used as an educational tool in schools. It outlines that iPads engage and motivate students, while also helping them develop important 21st century skills like communication, collaboration, critical thinking and creativity. The document then provides examples of how iPads can enhance learning across subjects such as using the camera for photos and videos, apps for reading and writing, connecting students to current events, and facilitating research. It emphasizes that iPads should be used to help students create content and learn independently, and that teachers play a key role in developing educational materials that transform learning.
This document provides information about Community Academy Public Charter School (CAPCS) Online Academy. It summarizes CAPCS's mission to provide students with knowledge and skills to think critically and meet requirements for competitive high schools.

Once Upon and iPad: Children's Literature Presentation TLCCynthia Garrety
This document discusses the use of iPads in education. It notes that iPads are best suited for activities like reading, presenting, curating, and creating rather than storage-heavy or multi-user tasks. Documents and apps can be synced across devices using cloud services. The document outlines best practices for digital literacy and gameplay on iPads, emphasizing social interaction, scaffolding, and discovery-based learning. It recommends several apps to support imaginative play and literacy.
Mrs. Petty and Mrs. Ward are requesting a $10,000 grant to purchase classroom technology including a smart board, projector, wireless tablet, smart board lesson book, Kindles, and references. The smart board allows interactive learning for up to three students at a time and projects a sharp image. The wireless tablet gives teachers freedom of movement while allowing handicapped students to interact with the board from their seat. The lesson book and Kindles are meant to promote engaging lessons and reading respectively.
The document discusses several apps that can help reluctant writers. Strip Designer allows students to create stories and sequences using pictures, stickers, and text. Pictello lets students make picture stories on any topic. Writer's Toolbox provides support for idea generation, writing process, spelling, and grammar.

This document discusses the top 10 educational apps for students. It provides rationales for selecting each app, including ClassDojo for engaging parents, Kahoot! for making learning fun and interactive, Duolingo for learning languages in an addictive way, and Prodigy for making math learning enjoyable. Other recommended apps include Faces iMake for creativity, Padlet for online discussions, LawCraft for simulating the legislative process, StoryBuilder for developing inference and grammar skills, Rainbow Sentences for sentence building, and Shakespeare in Bits for differentiating instruction of Shakespeare's works.
The document discusses best practices for using iPads in educational settings. It notes that iPads are best for reading, presenting, curating, and creating content rather than for storage, multiple users, or heavy typing. When using apps or games, they should be intrinsically motivating, relate to children's daily lives, allow open-ended play and choices, and provide support through instructions and information. Studies found that collaborative play was important, with children sometimes taking the role of technical experts and receiving scaffolding from older children and adults. A list of recommended apps is also included.

Как превратить компьютер в неприступную крепостьАльберт Коррч
КАК обеспечить надежную защиту данных и не стать жертвой хакеров, вирусописателей, кардеров, фишеров и прочей нечисти!
КАК быть на 100% уверенным в безопасности хранящейся на Вашем жестком диске информации и никогда не испытать того КРАХА, который произошел с героем нашего маленького рассказа в самом начале данной странички (равно как и с героями историй, представленных здесь).

The document discusses the rapid growth of megacities and slums in developing countries over the past 50 years. It notes that over 95% of population growth will occur in urban areas in these countries, leading to a doubling of their populations over the next generation. This rapid urbanization has outpaced infrastructure development and job creation, resulting in widespread poverty and the rise of massive slums housing over 1 billion people globally by 2005. The document examines different typologies of slums from small communities to "megaslums" merging into continuous belts of informal housing. Attempts by governments and organizations like the World Bank to improve conditions have faced challenges in addressing the needs of the poorest residents.
Teachers must recognize that students learn in different ways and have different cultural backgrounds. The teacher in the example failed to understand that the two students did not grasp the math concept in the same way as the other students and dismissed their struggles. Research shows learning styles and cultural experiences can impact how students learn. It is important for teachers to learn about their students' individual backgrounds and customize their teaching methods to support all learners.
The document discusses HP's software strategy and portfolio from 2010-2012.

communicate with peers and adults.
I understand and share basic information about topics that
are important to me, and participate in conversations for a
variety of purposes (e.g., to connect, help, be friendly,
learn/share).
I listen and respond to others. I can work with others to
achieve a short-term, concrete goal; I do my share. I can
recount simple experiences and activities, and tell
something I learned

I prefer to remove digital from the mindset, but it does still have some relevance as my mom will bring a contest entry to me, ask me to check her blood test online, order a part online – but she doesn’t have a SMART phone or computer. She is quite SMART and does income tax by hand still – and will ask me to enter and see if computer sees something else. Her friend that she went to school with has had numerous computers, laptops, iPads, and a SMART phone. Are they citizens – yes. Are they both functional –yes. Are they both independent – No
