Technology is profoundly shaping the world, especially in the delivery of education. Concurrently, services like telehealth, predictive analytics, and technology aids (i.e. Fitbits, apps and home listening devices) affect service delivery. Given these changes, how do social workers promote social justice and support privacy and equity? And consider needs of the vulnerable while harnessing technology for good? How does social work redefine the profession in the face of algorithmic solutions to human problems? This panel will introduce a dialogue about what’s happening, where are gaps in social work education, and how programs might reinvent in a rapidly-changing environment.

Using ICTs to Promote Cultural Change: A Study from a Higher Education Context

ac2182

The document summarizes Anthony Cocciolo's research on how the introduction of a Web 2.0 technology impacts the culture of learning within a community. The research studied a system called PocketKnowledge over two years. Results showed evidence that the technology provided a space for a participatory subculture to form, as users were more likely to both consume and contribute content than on other sites. This visibility of contributions online may impact users' decisions to participate and the overall culture. Future research could explore how to specifically design technologies to support participatory cultures and cultural change.

The proposed research topic is whether parents', teachers', and mental health professionals' digital wisdom and self-efficacy predict participation in cyber deviance dialogue. This topic is important to family psychology because cyber transgression is a new issue affecting responsible adults. While laws have been made, adults vary in cyber knowledge and responsibility for teaching children cyber ethics is unclear. The research problem is that the literature does not examine how families, schools, and communities can collaborate on cyber safety education or adults' self-efficacy in teaching children these topics, despite technology changing communication and some cyber issues originating at home.

Legal and ethical issues for using technology in the classroom

jlknight

Teachers are responsible for monitoring student internet activity to prevent access to inappropriate sites and changes to grades. Schools use filtering software to block inappropriate sites and prevent students from straying from learning activities online. Plagiarism is a major issue with technology as students can easily copy and paste others' work, so teachers must educate students on properly citing sources.

A Proposed Research Methodology To Conduct Studies About Ubiquitous Learning ...

Ann Davidson

There is currently a revolution going on, that is changing how people live, work and play and consequently, how they learn. This revolution is happening through the use of various technological objects that many people are using on a daily basis. The text below calls attention to a proposed research methodology for conducting studies about ubiquitous learning technologies. Two major themes oversee the structure of this text: what should researchers look at and how should they look at it. It starts by describing the context of how these technologies are being used. It then lays out the elements of a conceptual framework. Following this, the text describes the advantages and pitfalls of ethnography and action-research. Finally, it provides recommendations for researchers who are interested in investigating ubiquitous learning.

The document discusses the impacts of information and communication technology (ICT) on individuals, organizations, and education. ICT refers to digital technologies that store, retrieve, transmit, and manipulate information electronically. For individuals, ICT provides increased access to information but can also result in job loss, reduced personal interaction, and decreased physical activity. Organizations benefit from improved communication, information management, and security through ICT, but also face costs, competition, and security issues. In education, ICT enables distance learning and simulations, but risks disadvantaging poorer students and focusing more on the technology than the subject content.

Tracy Rainwater

A good digital citizen develops skills to effectively use technology and participate responsibly online. They properly cite sources to avoid plagiarism and give credit. A good digital citizen also practices digital etiquette by treating others with courtesy and respect online, not hacking or stealing, and avoiding plagiarism or inappropriate language. Teachers should model good digital citizenship for students and use technology to make lessons more engaging while allowing students opportunities to use technology as well.

Impact of ICT

akshayniraj

ICT has several impacts both positive and negative for individuals and organizations. Positively, ICT allows for faster communication speeds, effective sharing of information, and a more paperless environment. However, it can also cause social problems from reduced personal interaction and health issues from excessive computer use. For organizations, ICT enables improved communication and wider market access but also poses costs, security threats, and increased competition.

ivanzampedri

The document discusses the implementation of a 1:1 program that provides each student with a netbook computer. It argues that this program aims to prepare students for the technological skills needed for future jobs by teaching students to use software programs and manipulate computers. The 1:1 program allows students to learn at their own pace and build knowledge through individual and guided use of their netbooks. The document also discusses how social media networks have become integrated into daily life and can be used to share information and help others with technological problems. It believes that providing students with constant internet access through this program will allow education to be more engaging and help students who lack experience in accessing online information.

Cyberethics for teachers, students, and the school community

David B. Whittier, Ed D

This document discusses cyberethics and provides lesson plans related to teaching cyberethics. It begins with definitions of cyberspace and ethics. It then discusses the abstract features of cyberspace and how they can impact psychology. Several lesson plans are proposed that address topics like internet laws, online behaviors, privacy, plagiarism, cyberbullying, citizenship, and how to incorporate cyberethics into existing curriculums. Shakespeare's Othello is used as an example for how to teach cyberbullying through an English literature class. The document encourages thinking about how factors of the online world impact school experiences.

The Digital Divide

Gener Luis Morada

The document discusses the divide between digital native students and digital immigrant teachers caused by rapid advances in information and communication technology (ICT). It notes that students now prefer learning that is quick, visual, interactive, and relevant, while many teachers still prefer slower, linear, text-based instruction. To better engage digital native students, the document suggests teachers learn students' ways of communicating and learning via various digital tools, and provide opportunities for empowering, relevant learning through technology.
