It emphasizes developing skills like communication, critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity across physical and digital learning spaces.
Classroom in a connected world meenoo rami
The document discusses how connections through media have changed education by allowing students to model learning, find audiences, and make learning more relevant. It provides examples like KQED's "Do Now" where students respond to current issues as readers and writers on the web and creators of media. Another example is Radio Rookies NYC, which provides teenagers tools and training to create radio stories about themselves and their communities. The document argues that connections through various media will continue changing how we work.
Towards Digital Literacy -- Libraries Thriving
Depending on the type of library in which you work, you may assume that someone is "digitally literate." Yet what do we mean by those words and how do we know if the person meets our definition? What can we do in our libraries to increase the information and digital literacy of our users/patrons/members/owners? How does that impact the tools that we acquire and the services that we provide? Who should we be partnering with in these efforts? These and other questions will be address in this session, which will also include time for brainstorming.
Jill Hurst-Wahl is an associate professor of practice in Syracuse University’s School of Information Studies and the director of its library and information science program. She is a member of SLA’s Board of Directors, NYS Regents Advisory Council on Libraries, and the USNY Technology Policy and Practices Council. A former corporate librarian, Jill has always been an advocate for libraries being centers of learning in their communities (no matter what community they serve).
Social Networking and Community Building
The document discusses social networking and building online communities for professional development in education. It defines social networking as grouping individuals into specific online communities based on shared interests. Some benefits of social networking include developing international friendships and learning about different cultures and teaching practices. The document also discusses building successful online teacher communities by defining clear purposes and addressing members' ongoing needs. Sample education-focused social networking sites are provided.
Retech: Digital Innovation and Integration in the Classroom
Presentation for @eduwebinar with @helenstower1
A key goal of future proof education is to ensure students are engaging with information, people and technologies as ‘connected learners’ and that this engagement is effective, safe and ethical.
In our particular school setting, it was identified that traditional ICT subjects focused on the development of software usage skills, which no longer supported the evolving needs of our students. Instead we needed students to develop skills in digital citizenship so that they could participate effectively in an online and networked world. Retech (Research and Technology) is a Middle Years learning experience that has developed in response to this need.
This presentation will explore some of the skills taught in Retech:
Cybersafety & building a positive digital footprint;
Information literacies such as smart searching, curation, effective note taking, licensing and attribution;
Using blogs and social media for building a PLN (Personal Learning Network);
Collaboration through shared bookmarks, notes & Google Groups;
Inquiry and problem solving; and
Creating and presenting with digital tools such as video productions, podcasts and infographics.

1. Easy access to information due to computers and the internet being a source of vast information.
2. Better communication facilitated by internet technologies like email and social media that allow people to stay connected regardless of distance.
3. An increase in aggressive behaviors among children who play violent video games for extended periods, as the games often reward violence and children can experience behavioral changes from repeated exposure.
Accessibility
This document discusses accessibility and its importance in education. It defines accessibility as creating inclusive products for people with all abilities and disabilities. The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.0) were developed to ensure websites are accessible. Laws like the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act require equal access to education. Assistive technologies help students with disabilities access information in the classroom. Examples include devices that magnify text or serve as communicators.
Question 1.1
There are nine core elements of digital citizenship: digital access, digital commerce, digital communication, digital literacy, digital etiquette, digital rights and responsibilities, digital health and well-being, digital security, and collaboration, creative, information, solution, and media fluencies. Digital citizenship also involves teaching and learning about appropriate technology use, ethics, and participation in an online society.

Naava Frank: Learning Communities for Professional
This document discusses learning communities and communities of practice (CoPs) as tools for professional development. It defines key aspects of CoPs, including that they are groups of professionals who systematically share expertise to improve their practice. The document then outlines three core processes that learning communities use: surfacing questions/needs, building connections, and eliciting tacit knowledge. Specific techniques are provided for each process.
Summary of week 2
The document discusses five narratives around education including the interconnectedness of the world, improving from mistakes, providing youth knowledge and participation, diversity in cultures, and the role of language in being human. It also discusses moving away from sorting students by ability, engaging all students, and ensuring alignment between the written, taught, and tested curriculum. Key ideas that emerged were preparing students for a digital world, making professional development authentic and relevant to support curriculum development.

Social presence theory explains how people present themselves as “real” through a communication medium and is a popular construct used to describe how people socially interact in online courses. Because of its intuitive appeal, educators have experimented with different ways to establish social presence in their online courses. Over the years, we have tried many strategies—from rich threaded discussions to personal one-on-one emails to digital stories to using social networking tools like Twitter. Over time, we began questioning how students perceive all of the strategies we use (in other words, what strategies were leading to the most bang for our buck). In this paper, we describe our investigation of students’ perceptions of various instructional strategies to establish social presence.
