What Students Will Learn In The Future by Terry Heick This is part 1 of the series “Responsive Teaching For A Changing World,” a 3-part series is sponsored by Adobe Presenter 9. They had nothing to do with the content–only asked that we include a link back to their platform, which you can see above.

A lot is implied in the content areas we choose to disperse the world through. That’s essentially what classes and content areas are–perspectives to make sense of the world. If the world changes, should they change? These words and phrases that we now associate with schools, teachers, and assignments reflect our priority as a culture. The Past While that content changes some as students move from Kindergarten to 12th grade, in general the kinds of things we ask our 2nd graders to study is similar to what we have our high school seniors study. The “trivium” was designed to precede the Quadrivium (you guessed it–“the 4 ways”)–Arithmetic, Geometry, Music, & Astronomy. 1. 2. 3. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

MediaSmarts. Trillion-Dollar Footprint (6-8) Warm-up (10 minutes) ASK:How many of you have … sent a message or posted a comment online? Created a profile on a social network site? Used some sort of photo-sharing app? EXPLAIN that filling out a form, sending an email to a friend, posting a photo, and pretty much everything one does online – even the simple act of visiting a website or using a search engine – leaves a trail. Play Video (10 minutes) DEFINE the Key Vocabulary terms digital footprint and imagery. SHOW students the “The Digital Footprint” video.

Lighthouse: Search engines and social network sites can reveal a lot about people. DEFINE the Key Vocabulary terms persistent and invisible audience. REVIEW with students the concept that all of the information about someone online makes up his or her digital footprint, and that this information can be searched; copied and passed on; seen by a large, invisible audience, and can become persistent.

Google must respect 'right to be forgotten' Internet companies can be made to remove irrelevant or excessive personal information from search engine results, Europe's top court ruled on Tuesday in a case pitting privacy campaigners against Google.

The Court of Justice of the European Union (ECJ) upheld the complaint of a Spanish man who objected to the fact that Google searches on his name threw up links to a 1998 newspaper article about the repossession of his home. The case highlighted the struggle in cyberspace between free speech advocates and supporters of privacy rights who say people should have the "right to be forgotten" — meaning that they should be able to remove their digital traces from the internet.

It creates both technical challenges and potential extra costs for companies like Google, the world's no.1 search engine, and Facebook. "We are very surprised that it differs so dramatically from the Advocate General's opinion and the warnings and consequences that he spelled out. Digital Citizenship: Resource Roundup. Nine Elements. Nine Themes of Digital Citizenship Digital citizenship can be defined as the norms of appropriate, responsible behavior with regard to technology use. 1.

Digital Access: full electronic participation in society. Technology users need to be aware that not everyone has the same opportunities when it comes to technology. Working toward equal digital rights and supporting electronic access is the starting point of Digital Citizenship. Digital exclusion makes it difficult to grow as a society increasingly using these tools. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Respect, Educate and Protect (REPs) These elements have also been organized under the principles of respect, educate and protect.

Edsurge. If I had written this article two years ago, it would have been very different. Back then, I would have made (or felt like I had to make) a compelling case for why we should even consider the idea of incorporating video games into classroom instruction. Back then, I would have expected most readers to incredulously click to the next article. But today, Game-Based Learning (GBL) and Gamification are gaining some real traction in the teaching community. At the recent OETC conference, the organizers dedicated an entire wing of the convention center to the subject, and educators weren’t shy about their interest.

When I presented on the subject at Common Ground 14, I had the dreaded “last-presentation-of-the-day” spot, but I was very pleased at the turnout and interest. Before we go any further, let’s get one thing straight: Gamification vs. Game-Based Learning (GBL). Gamification vs. Gamification refers to the adoption of game-like principles when working outside of a gaming context. Social Media and Posting Information Online - Privacy In Saskatchewan Schools. 'Oregon Trail' and the evolution of classroom tech. 2014-05-17-help-i-m-a-teacher-how-do-i-get-into-education-technology?utm_content=buffer93239&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter. When I first started teaching fifth grade science at KIPP Academy in Houston, Texas, I had no idea that I would end up parlaying that experience into my current role as a consultant to education technology companies.

I was simply a teacher on a mission to do right by my students, and that drive just happened to coincide with an inclination towards figuring out how to use technology to solve problems. Looking back, however, I realize that I took some steps that other teachers who are interested in getting into technology can absolutely replicate. I also took quite a few missteps that I hope I can help others avoid. So here's a guide on how teachers can get into education technology, written in partnership with four other educator-entrepreneurs who have found their own unique way to combine their love for education with their love for technology. Step 1: Understand Your Strengths Education technology companies need educators. Step 2: Understand Your Potential Areas of Growth Technical:

Digital Citizenship. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly of Digital Citizenship | Andreas Sandre. Digital citizenship might seem at times an ephemeral, almost narcissistic, aspect of our life. Too often we neglect the rights and responsibilities that our presence online entails.

We forget the key role that the Internet plays in our day-to-day, from emails to social media, from big data to banking, from privacy to politics. In every large democracy of our time, little seems to be left to chance, with both national and trans-national laws and policies relating to every aspect of our life. The Internet however, is still much debated and a sort of grey area. The Internet and the many challenges and opportunities derived from our digital citizenship were the focus of a round-table organized by the Embassy of Italy in Washington D.C. on May 20 with Laura Boldrini, President of the Chamber of Deputies of the Italian Parliament, during her visit to the nation's capital.

The Italian Embassy and the Ambassador have been playing a central role in the debate around the digital era. Discover Canada. Dcmooc – digital citizenship | Educational Discourse. Global Digital Environment – We are not alone I’m looking forward to engaging with other learners during the dcmooc – Digital Citizenship Massive Open Online Course – being facilitated by Alec Couros, co-facilitator Katia Hildebrandt (@kbhildebrandt), and Government of Saskatchewan liaison Joanna Sanders (@MmeSanders) and supported by the Saskatchewan Ministry of Education. Like many of the participants, I’m very interested in Digital Citizenship and how it impacts students, teachers, and others involved in education.

I’m also interested in how it impacts people outside of education and the slide that takes place as people move from space to space taking on different roles – teacher, student, child, parent, employee, etc… For many people, they are just beginning to really discover the power of connecting and being online. I love reading about people who are “thrilled, amazed, astounded” by the ability to connect with others around the globe. Enter the Global Digital Environment 1. 2. 3. 3 Must-Know Tips For Anyone Nervous About EdTech. Dear “Nervous To Try Something New With EdTech”: You know when you spoke with me the other day and told me that that introducing more tech into my class was fine for me because I was ‘into it’ and ‘understood’ it? That you were not going to try a new way of doing things (edtech-wise) because your students would see that you weren’t an expert.

Well I need to let you in on a secret. Neither am I. It would probably shock you that me, a proponent of choice/more edtech started exactly where you are now in terms of knowledge and confidence. It took, it takes, some courage, and a big leap of faith to step out and try something new in class – in front of 30 teenagers? How do I do it? I Am Not the First to Do This “Search Engine” It – Take the simple voice recorded phone conversation. I Have Help Available in Every Program/App Prior to teaching I worked for a developer in the area of school administrative software. My Peers Are A Great Resource So go ahead and try something new. 20-14_ISTE_Standards-S_PDF.pdf. Text Unto Others... As You Would Have Them Text Unto You.

Text Unto Others... As You Would Have Them Text Unto You Schools can teach basic principles of good citizenship to help shapestudents' behavior in the virtual world. Define digital citizenship. It's nothing anyone would have thought necessary to do only a decade ago, but the concept of citizenship no longer exists only within the realm of the physical world. With K-12 students seeming to at all times have one foot in the real world and one in the virtual, school districts are starting to acknowledge a new collective responsibility: to teach kids what it means to be a good digital citizen and how to go about being one. The answer follows the same rules entrenched in the prescription for being a good citizen on the ground: Obey the law, have respect for others, act civilly and sensibly. The movement to address and characterize digital citizenship originated in the UK, where educators have been working toward establishing protocols for good digital citizenship since the mid-1990s.

6 Things Everyone Should Know About Snapchat | The Social UThe Social U. It’s the latest in mobile-only image sharing, but with a twist: photos have to be taken in-app and last only from 1-10 seconds, at the sender’s discretion. From middle schoolers to the New York Times to Catholic youth minister blogs; everyone seems to be talking about it.

However, they seem to be more fascinated with the fact that this exists rather than the important information Snapchat users should actually know. So I’ve done some digging, and here are 6 things you, and every other Snapchat user you know, should be aware of: (Disclaimer: I am an avid Snapchatter myself, so I don’t write this to call them out or condemn them in any way. 1. “We collect information you provide directly to us. So this snippet is pretty self-explanatory. 2. Two separate quotes here. One from further down in the Privacy Policy: And another from their blog: If you’re a tech person you probably saw this coming. 3. The full list is here, in their Privacy Policy. 4. 5. 6. 11 Underlying Assumptions Of Digital Literacy.

11 Underlying Assumptions Of Digital Literacy In understanding the shift from literacy to digital literacy–or rather to understand them both in their own native contexts–it may help to take a look at the underlying assumptions of digital literacy. This means looking at what’s changing, why it’s changing, and what that means for education. 1. Schools should teach the content that matter most.

Put another way: We should promote the cognitive growth of the kinds of “things” that help people make their lives better. 2. Put another way: Reading and writing are common and critical. 3. Put another way: Literacy isn’t any one thing, but rather represents a person’s ability and tendency to communicate and be communicated to. 4. Put another way: Through practice, media users will, for better or for worse, “get better” at communicating through technology. 5.

Put another way: Literacy is crazy important. 6. 7. Put another way: Abundance changes everything. 8. 9. 10. Put another way: See #7. 11. Megan's Story. Texas teen jailed after League of Legends argument. A Texas teenager has been jailed since March 27 over comments he made on Facebook after playing a League of Legends match. In February, an argument 18-year-old Justin Carter had with another League of Legends player spilled onto Facebook, where Carter made a comment referencing a school shooting. “Someone had said something to the effect of 'Oh you're insane, you're crazy, you're messed up in the head,’" his father Jack Carter told Texas news station KVUE. "To which he replied 'Oh yeah, I'm real messed up in the head, I'm going to go shoot up a school full of kids and eat their still, beating hearts,’ and the next two lines were lol and JK. " Jack Carter said a woman from Canada saw the posting, did a Google search for his addresses and when she noticed he lived near a school, called the police.

Justin Carter was later arrested and charged with making a terrorist threat. Justin Carter faces eight years in prison, his father said, arguing that his son's comments were sarcastic.

"Digital citizenship" is an umbrella term that covers a whole host of important issues. Broadly, it's the guidelines for responsible, appropriate behavior when one is using technology.

But specifically, it can cover anything from "netiquette" to cyberbullying; technology access and the digital divide; online safety and privacy; copyright, plagiarism, and digital law, and more. In fact, some programs that teach digital citizenship have outlined no less than nine elements that intersect to inform a well-equipped digital citizen. It's an overwhelming array of skills to be taught and topics to explore. But while there is much talk about the importance of teaching digital citizenship in this information society, not many are sure what that really looks like.
