Using Social Media in the Classroom. By Leon Harris There has been a lot of hubbub over technology in the classroom.
Proponents want to use technological advances as a means of enhancing lessons, engaging students in a way that they understand and enjoy, and giving kids access to the knowledge and skills that they will need in the coming years, both in school and in their professional and personal lives. Those who are against such inclusion generally site a lack of security, the propensity for kids to "goof off" when given the opportunity, and the ability of dangerous outsiders to contact children and take advantage of them via online networks.

Awesome Digital Citizenship Graphic for your Classroom. Digital citizenship is " the norms of appropriate, responsible behavior with regard to technology use.
"It is the combination of technical and social skills that enable a person to be successful and safe in the information age. Just like literacy and numeracy initiatives which provide people with the skills to ' participate in the work force, digital literacy has become an essential skill to be a confident, connected, and actively involved life long learner.' I personally recommend that teachers and educators should, throughout the entire school year, devote special sessions to just teaching students about Digital Citizenship. Technology for education vs. technology for learners. The New York Times last week ran an irresistible profile of Sylvia Todd, a ten-year-old who produces and stars in a YouTube show that features herself doing all kinds of science and DIY projects.
She’s received over 1.5 million views and collaborated with Make magazine, with companies that make science kits for kids, and to speak to teachers; she even presented at the White House Science Fair and met President Obama. Sylvia’s Maker Show is an example of what two education researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Rich Halverson and Benjamin Shapiro, call “technologies for learners”–as opposed to “technologies for education.” “Technologies for education assume that the goals (or outcomes) of teaching and learning are stable, and that the challenge of technological innovation is to fashion efficient, viable, and successful means to reach these goals,” they write.
21 Ways to Use Edmodo in your Classroom. Edmodo is a learning platform that is increasingly popular among teachers and educators.
It is really amazing the popularity Edmodo gained within a very short time since its introduction. In my past articles here in Educational Technology and Mobile Learning, I talked about the importance of Edmodo as a tool to flip your classroom, I also emphasized, in another post, on its use as a community building platform for your class where teachers and students get to share learning resources and interact with each others.
Another good thing about Edmodo ,which I like so much, is its security. The data you upload there or the materials you share are safe and you can even customize your privacy settings to grant access to only certain people. Edmodo is also one of the best means of teacher-student communication. 20 BYOD Resources For The 21st Century School. It’s That Time of the Year Again: What Apple SHOULD Include in iOS7. By: Hillel Fuld (@hilzfuld) It has become a custom of mine to talk about Apple’s mobile operating system before or right after it is released.
I wrote about iOS5 features, my thoughts on iOS6, and now, with the release of iOS7 around the corner, it is time. I will split the features I would love to see in iOS7 into two categories. The first one is “Things we will most likely see” and the second, “There is not a freaking chance Apple will do this and they will remain stuck in their old and outdated ways”. Of course, as usual, I turned to my Twitter followers when writing this post and got some good insights on features Apple should include. @hilzfuld Better maps.— Steve Furman (@stevefurman) May 7, 2013 @hilzfuld music service integration…— Brett Petersel (@Brett) May 7, 2013 @hilzfuld Smart App Icons— John-Paul Herrmann (@extraterrestric) May 7, 2013. Google keeps fighting for the heart of the iPhone with new Gmail update. A tiny tweak to Google’s Gmail app for iOS takes it another step closer to building a layer of Google services on top of Apple’s iPhone.
With the latest update, users can choose to set Gmail default links to open in YouTube, Chrome or Google Maps, as appropriate. That’s instead of Apple’s default solution, which would be to link to YouTube on the web, Safari and Apple Maps, respectively. It should come as welcome news to heavy users of Google services or those who simply want to be able to pick what apps to connect to on their phone. It’s also, as CNET noted, a sort of “end run” around Apple’s services. Even as Apple has decoupled its iPhone partnership with Google for everything except search — removing YouTube and Google Maps as default iOS apps in the second half of 2012 — the web company has still found a way to reach its users who have iPhones and iPads through Apple’s regulated App Store.
