This document discusses a study comparing how urban and suburban 4th and 5th grade children learn and use digital literacies. The study found that urban children had much less experience using computers at school and knew fewer skills like proper keyboarding. In contrast, suburban schools integrated technology into lessons more and students had greater access to computers at home. The results suggest urban students are at a disadvantage for learning important new literacies due to less instructional time spent on computers and digital skills.

Using cell phones in the classroom can provide learning opportunities if implemented properly. Some potential uses of cell phones discussed in the document include podcasting/radio projects where students record and publish audio, polling/survey projects using polling websites, and note taking/organization projects where students use apps and websites to schedule assignments and create reminders on their phones. However, the document also notes that cheating is a concern if cell phone use is not carefully structured, as students may be tempted to look up answers or share them without permission. The document provides some suggested guidelines for schools that allow cell phones, such as having clear rules and getting student input on appropriate use policies.
Cyberbully presentation
The document discusses ways for teachers to help address cyberbullying among students. It notes that cyberbullying involves inappropriate use of technology to harass or threaten others. Many students ages 8-15 experience cyberbullying through means like cell phones, social media, and more. The impacts on victims can include truancy, depression, and sometimes suicide. While laws and policies aim to address cyberbullying, more research is still needed on effective prevention and intervention methods. The document provides guidance for teachers on creating a classroom technology policy to help prevent cyberbullying and set clear expectations and consequences for inappropriate technology use among students.
Cyberbully presentation
The document discusses cyberbullying and provides information to help teachers address it. Cyberbullying involves using technology to harass, humiliate or threaten others. It commonly affects students ages 8-15 through devices like cell phones and social media. The impacts on victims can include truancy, depression and poor academic performance. While laws and policies address cyberbullying, more research is still needed on effective prevention and intervention methods due to the secretive nature and rapid technological changes involved. The document provides guidance for teachers on creating a classroom technology policy to help prevent cyberbullying issues.
Implications of Cyber Communication
- Educators are concerned that teenagers' writing habits of diary writing and free writing are being replaced by social media like Facebook and text messaging. This is altering their spelling and grammar skills.
- Some experts argue that cyber communication is not harming writing skills, and may increase self-expression and communication. However, teachers note a rise in spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors in student writing.
- The debate centers around whether students can distinguish between informal online communication and formal writing, and whether poor writing habits from technology will negatively affect students' future education and careers.
Action Research Project
The goal of this action research project is to determine if there is a correlation between the digital divide and achievement gap in El Campo Independent School District. Over the course of several months, the researcher will take several steps: research literature on the digital divide and achievement gap; survey students and families about internet access; analyze TAKS test scores; compare results; and share findings. If a correlation is found between lack of internet access and lower achievement, the researcher will work with the district to determine ways to close the gap, such as increasing access to public internet resources, and continue monitoring results over time.

Upgrading to 21st Century Reading: E-reading Integration, by Mr. Mohammed HiddasSaadia Morcenet secretary
This document discusses research on e-reading. It examines studies that look at the usability and preferences around e-readers and tablets for reading. Some key findings include that students appreciated the convenience of e-books but preferred printed versions for deeper reading, and that built-in features on tablets can increase student motivation and understanding by allowing them to actively solve problems and research concepts. The document also notes that digital devices are boosting book reading among many demographics in the US.Reading in the 21st century
This document summarizes a research paper comparing reading habits and preferences for paperbacks versus e-books. It includes an introduction outlining the significance of reading and importance of developing reading habits. It then reviews previous literature on the topic and outlines the objectives, hypotheses, methodology, and limitations of the study. The study uses a questionnaire to collect primary data on reading interests, devices used, and preferences regarding paper versus digital formats from a sample of people in Mumbai, India. It aims to analyze differences in reading habits between the two formats.
IRA_2013
This document summarizes a presentation about how digital technologies are changing reading habits and how e-books can support the Common Core State Standards. It finds that while fewer people are reading overall, more formats are available like e-books, tablets, and phones. E-book readers on average read more books per year than non-e-book readers. The presentation also discusses how e-books allow for customization of text features, note-taking, highlighting, and accessing other resources. E-books have potential to support Common Core standards through interactive features, but quality and appropriateness of digital books must be evaluated.
Ira Presentation Final April 20_2013
This document discusses how e-books and digital reading are changing literacy and the reading experience. Some key points:
- E-book reading is growing, especially among children who read e-books at home and on mobile devices. However, many children still prefer printed books.
- Digital reading allows for customization of font, highlighting, note-taking and built-in dictionaries. It also provides interactive features and access to the internet.
- The Common Core State Standards recognize the need for students to be prepared for digital literacy and embedding technology standards. This includes developing skills in multiple text formats.
- While e-books increase access and convenience, issues of quality, user experience, and developmentally appropriate content need attention

Students Speak Up About Games
- Speak Up is an annual national research project that collects data from K-12 students, teachers, parents, and administrators about issues related to 21st century learning and education technology. Over 1.4 million participants have been surveyed since 2003.
- Key findings from the survey data show a "digital disconnect" between how students learn and live, and how technology is used in schools. Students are highly engaged with technology outside of school but face obstacles to using it for learning.
- Students advocate for more access to technology at school, especially laptops for individual use. They believe technologies like educational games could make learning more engaging and help them learn difficult concepts. If given the chance, students would design games focused on real-
Discovery Digital Natives And Interactive Media
The document discusses how digital media and interactive tools can be used to engage 21st century students. It notes that students now spend over 6 hours a day engaged with media. It provides examples of how tools like iPods, cell phones, video games and social media are popular among youth. The document then offers various suggestions for how teachers can incorporate these interactive digital tools and media into their classrooms, including using iPods for audio lessons, creating mobile learning resources for students, and using digital streaming tools for collaborative projects. It discusses programs like Discovery Education that provide digital content and resources to support differentiated instruction.
Diploma project proposal
This document is a project proposal to create an interactive educational product to make the study of history more engaging and interesting for school children. The proposal notes that traditional teaching methods are boring and unsuited for today's students. It aims to tell the stories of history through illustrations, activities, games and other interactive elements in an e-book, app or physical book. User interviews with children, parents and teachers will be conducted to understand needs and how to create a fun learning experience that captures students' interest. The goal is to develop a resource that helps students better understand and engage with their cultural history.
Technology with Young Children
This document discusses research on the benefits and risks of technology use among young children. It finds that limited computer use of under 8 hours per week is associated with cognitive and academic benefits, while over 8 hours is linked to less physical activity and socializing. It also discusses studies showing that computer access can improve school readiness, especially for disadvantaged children, and that multimedia aids comprehension for deaf children compared to text alone. The document advocates for developmentally appropriate and guided technology use in early education.

The Effect of Computer Games on the Proficiency of the B.Ed. Teacher Trainees...Research Journal of Education
The purpose of the study is to assess the effect of computer games on the proficiency of the B.Ed teacher trainees in using the conventional expressions in conversations. The role of technology in language learning has made outdated, drills, grammatical explanations and translation of texts, and the focus is shifted to communication based contexts. Recreational Computer Games make a positive impact on children’s subsequent performance after instructional tasks. Playing the games, children live in both physical and virtual spaces such as chat rooms, email, and communication. The tool to test their proficiency has thirty items. The achievement test has ten dialogues with three blanks in each for the students to fill them up. This is an experimental study with a single group design. After a stratified sample of 70 female and 34 male teacher trainees were exposed to some computer games involving fun and conversations for a week, they were tested for their proficiency. The tool was a standardized one. The levels of proficiency of the male and female teacher trainees were found to be average and above average. The‘t’test was applied. The proficiency of the female teacher trainees was found to be significantly higher than that of the male teacher trainees. The computer games have the potential to improve the cognitive, affective and psychomotor skills of the student-teachers.Write a summary.Describe the main points of the article and how it.docx

As I copy this text conversation between two adolescents into Microsoft Word, the screen lights up with red. Every line in this exchange is marked. Microsoft Word, it seems, does not “get” the language of these speakers and attacks the black-and-white text with its red pen. For Microsoft Word, these writers are wrong.
When I first encountered “computer-mediated language” (Crystal
2001
: 238), I was as confused as my word-processing program is today. An English teacher and one of our school's “grammar gurus,” I couldn't understand why students were substituting “2” for “too” or “u” for “you” in their school writing. I was completely stumped by the language they were using to talk to each other digitally. Today, when I look at the exchange between Lily and Michael, I am amazed by their ability to manipulate language and to communicate effectively across time and space. I have evolved from being a grammar guru who questioned this teen language as a degradation of Standard English to one who sees adolescent digitalk as a complex and fascinating combination of written and conversational languages in a digital setting.
The Journey of a “Grammar Guru”
I first ventured beyond e-mail into other forms of digital communication a decade ago when my brother installed an instant-messaging program on my personal computer. He taught me how to “see” him online and to exchange messages. A few years later, I used a similar instant-messaging program to “chat” with group members as we completed a class project for graduate school. Our inability to find a time for five adults to meet in person led us to use this technology, and our success in working together in a virtual space made me consider the pedagogical applications of instant messaging in my high school classroom.
When I first assigned a book discussion to be conducted by instant message (IM), my high school students looked at me quizzically. They hadn't thought about using IM as a learning tool. For them, it was a social space outside of scho.

The document summarizes a research study that assessed the effect of computer games on the proficiency of teacher trainees in using conventional expressions in conversations. The study exposed 104 teacher trainees (70 female, 34 male) to computer games involving conversations for a week. They were then tested on their proficiency using a 30-item achievement test with dialogues requiring conventional expressions. The female trainees scored significantly higher than the male trainees on average. The study found that computer games have potential to improve student-teachers' cognitive, affective and psychomotor skills when used for language learning.Students "Speak Up" about Games 2009
- Speak Up is an annual national research project that collects data through online surveys from K-12 students, teachers, parents, and administrators to understand perspectives on 21st century learning and education technology.
- Over 1.3 million individuals from over 18,000 schools have participated in Speak Up since 2003, providing insights into technology access and use, digital skills, and preferences for teaching and learning tools.
- Key findings show a "digital disconnect" between how students live and learn, with students considering themselves more advanced technology users than teachers and desiring more technology access and skills development at school.
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.
Children and future internet
Computer ethics is a part of practical philosophy which concerns with how computing professionals should make decisions regarding professional and social conduct.
Children studies technology in the classroom
This document discusses appropriate uses of technology in early childhood classrooms from birth to age 5. It provides examples of developmentally appropriate activities using technology for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers that promote learning through interaction. Technology should be used as a tool to enhance learning in ways that are interactive and encourage social engagement. Examples given include reading e-books to infants, apps that allow toddlers to follow directions, and letter-writing games on tablets for preschoolers. Guiding questions for appropriate technology use ask if it is developmentally matched, interactive, fosters social interaction, and prepares young children for further learning.
Informational text and the inquiry process2
This document discusses informational text and the inquiry process. It begins by noting the increased use of mobile devices and importance of teaching literacy skills outlined in the Common Core standards, such as conducting research projects and evaluating online sources. It then examines what makes up quality digital informational texts, highlighting elements like multimedia features and the need to evaluate reliability. Finally, it explores effective ways to teach inquiry skills, such as using a QUEST model of questioning, understanding, evaluating and synthesizing information from online searches.

An English teacher and one of our school's “grammar gurus,” I couldn't understand why students were substituting “2” for “too” or “u” for “you” in their school writing. I was completely stumped by the language they were using to talk to each other digitally. Today, when I look at the exchange between Lily and Michael, I am amazed by their ability to manipulate language and to communicate effectively across time and space. I have evolved from being a grammar guru who questioned this teen language as a degradation of Standard English to one who sees adolescent digitalk as a complex and fascinating combination of written and conversational languages in a digital setting.
The Journey of a “Grammar Guru”
I first ventured beyond e-mail into other forms of digital communication a decade ago when my brother installed an instant-messaging program on my personal computer. He taught me how to “see” him online and to exchange messages. A few years later, I used a similar instant-messaging program to “chat” with group members as we completed a class project for graduate school. Our inability to find a time for five adults to meet in person led us to use this technology, and our success in working together in a virtual space made me consider the pedagogical applications of instant messaging in my high school classroom.
When I first assigned a book discussion to be conducted by instant message (IM), my high school students looked at me quizzically. They hadn't thought about using IM as a learning tool. For them, it was a social space outside of scho.

The Effect of Computer Games on the Proficiency of the B.Ed. Teacher Trainee...Research Journal of Education
The document summarizes a research study that assessed the effect of computer games on the proficiency of teacher trainees in using conventional expressions in conversations. The study exposed 104 teacher trainees (70 female, 34 male) to computer games involving conversations for a week. They were then tested on their proficiency using a 30-item achievement test with dialogues requiring conventional expressions. The female trainees scored significantly higher than the male trainees on average. The study found that computer games have potential to improve student-teachers' cognitive, affective and psychomotor skills when used for language learning.Students "Speak Up" about Games 2009
- Speak Up is an annual national research project that collects data through online surveys from K-12 students, teachers, parents, and administrators to understand perspectives on 21st century learning and education technology.
- Over 1.3 million individuals from over 18,000 schools have participated in Speak Up since 2003, providing insights into technology access and use, digital skills, and preferences for teaching and learning tools.
- Key findings show a "digital disconnect" between how students live and learn, with students considering themselves more advanced technology users than teachers and desiring more technology access and skills development at school.
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.
Children and future internet
Computer ethics is a part of practical philosophy which concerns with how computing professionals should make decisions regarding professional and social conduct.
Children studies technology in the classroom
This document discusses appropriate uses of technology in early childhood classrooms from birth to age 5. It provides examples of developmentally appropriate activities using technology for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers that promote learning through interaction. Technology should be used as a tool to enhance learning in ways that are interactive and encourage social engagement. Examples given include reading e-books to infants, apps that allow toddlers to follow directions, and letter-writing games on tablets for preschoolers. Guiding questions for appropriate technology use ask if it is developmentally matched, interactive, fosters social interaction, and prepares young children for further learning.
Informational text and the inquiry process2
This document discusses informational text and the inquiry process. It begins by noting the increased use of mobile devices and importance of teaching literacy skills outlined in the Common Core standards, such as conducting research projects and evaluating online sources. It then examines what makes up quality digital informational texts, highlighting elements like multimedia features and the need to evaluate reliability. Finally, it explores effective ways to teach inquiry skills, such as using a QUEST model of questioning, understanding, evaluating and synthesizing information from online searches.
parenting-CoSN2016
This document provides an overview of a presentation titled "Parenting 2.0: The Presentation Your Parents Want to Hear" given by Rita Oates, PhD. The presentation aims to help parents understand the challenges of parenting in a technology-rich world. It discusses issues like cyberbullying, online safety, and helping children develop technology fluency rather than just literacy. The presentation reviews research on parents' technology concerns and shares strategies and resources to help parents have conversations with their children about appropriate online behavior and developing balanced technology habits. It also recommends books to help parents navigate issues around their children's technology use.
What r-u-w8ing-4
The document discusses how students today are "digital natives" who are fluent in technology from a young age, unlike older "digital immigrants" who learned technology later in life. It provides examples of how different family members use technology and believes schools should teach students how to use the tools they are already familiar with for academic purposes.
Digital Literacy
We make comparisons between young people’s use of technology within and beyond school, and I present some research in this area, exploring particular the implications for classroom practice. You spend part of the session exploring young people’s work in Scratch, commenting on particular examples within your blog.
I introduce you to Comic Life, which you use this to create a more conventional, linear storyboard for your project.
Blog
ICT is used as a teaching tool in primary schools through interactive whiteboards, computers, and internet access. The document provides many links to educational websites that are used for numeracy, literacy, and other subjects. Some advantages of using ICT in schools include improved access to software, engaging teaching methods, and opportunities for students to reinforce learning at home. Potential disadvantages include untrained teachers misusing resources and students accessing inappropriate online content.
21st Century Connected School Slideshare
The document discusses connecting local education partners like teachers, students, families, and the community at Musselburgh Grammar School. It emphasizes the importance of understanding how children use the internet differently than adults and educating families on internet safety. New technologies are converging on mobile devices, so safety messages must be updated accordingly.
Parent Involvement And Technology
This document discusses parents' perspectives on using technology in schools. It notes that many parents today are computer literate and recognize the benefits of exposing children to technology to prepare them for the future workforce. Research shows that increased parental involvement through technologies like online grade access improves student achievement, attendance, and test scores. The document also addresses ensuring equity for all students when using technology, even for those without home computer or internet access. Overall, parents approve of and utilize technology in schools to help students succeed academically.
Digital Divide
The document discusses the digital divide, defined as unequal access to computers and the internet. It presents data showing gaps between demographic groups in areas like home computer ownership, internet use, and access in schools. Specifically, people of color and those from low-income backgrounds often have less access. The document also examines how educational software and teaching styles can unintentionally favor boys over girls. This can contribute to the underrepresentation of women in computer science fields. Addressing these inequities could help reduce gaps in the digital divide.
Thurston
This document discusses the increasing prevalence of technology use among students and argues that schools should embrace students bringing their own technology, such as cell phones, into the classroom. It notes that most students now own cell phones and other mobile devices, which they use frequently outside of school for communication, research, social networking, and games. However, schools have been slow to incorporate these tools into learning. The document outlines several benefits of allowing student technology, including improved access, skills that employers desire, and alignment with how digital natives prefer to learn. It also addresses common concerns around distraction, cheating, and privacy, arguing that current banning policies are not effective and students need education on appropriate usage.
