Five Skills for 21st Century Learners Certainly a valid question, but difficult to give a concise answer. After rambling a bit about “educational maturity” and using a few educational buzz words, I moved on to the next question. However, after giving this considerable thought, I have arrived at a five-point skill set that I would like to see our students develop during their experience at the Virtual Learning and Leadership Academy. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. This is certainly not intended to be a conclusive list – there are many other skills that are important for 21st century learners.

Docebo Learning, Digital Media and Creative Play in Early Childhood 3.24.11 | At a small school near Portland, Ore., a typical day for 3-year-old students might involve using digital cameras to photograph their latest block creations and then, with the help of a teacher, uploading the photos to the classroom’s iPad and dictating narratives about their work. “We believe that children learn best through play,” Rachelle Mejia, a lead teacher at the Early Learning Community (ELC), says in a video on the school’s website. “They learn social skills by socializing with each other as well as with adults.” ELC is a child development center for children age 3 to 6. In a regular day here, a child might examine a butterfly wing using a digital ProScope or add a block to a SMART board bar graph that represents the pet her family has at home. Bailey works to ensure developmentally appropriate uses of technology in these early childhood classrooms. Students working with a digital ProScope. Are All Screens Created Equal?

Skype Launches a Dedicated Network for Teachers Teachers already use Skype to connect with other classrooms around the globe, bring in guest speakers without asking them to travel, and take virtual field trips. Now, Skype is making it easier for them to do so. The company launched Skype in the Classroom, a dedicated teacher network, on Tuesday. Since the beta version launched in December, about 4,000 teachers have signed up. "We use Skype all the time in my classroom. ... A "project" tab in the new version of Skype in the Classroom allows users to post and search for projects that, like Cornejo's weather project, require collaboration. Accommodating teachers is a natural move for Skype. "We saw that growth, and we wanted to find a way to support that community," Skype spokeswoman Jacqueline Botterill says.

Va. Board of Education urges policy on social networks as teaching tools Such assignments are coming under new scrutiny as Virginia and other states consider restricting how teachers and students interact on social-networking platforms such as Facebook, MySpace and Twitter. Officials want to preserve the educational opportunity offered by Ludwig and other teachers but also want to prevent sexual predators from exploiting the casual tone of such sites to build rapport with potential victims. The Virginia Board of Education voted Thursday to encourage school districts statewide to adopt policies regulating social-media use by teachers. The move was not as bold as an earlier proposal but still ranks the state as among the first to address such issues. The push for new restrictions grew, in part, from the case of Kevin Ricks, a former Manassas High School teacher convicted last year of molesting a former student. Now, the debate over how to manage teacher-student contact on social-networking sites is expected to come before local school boards.

Should Cell Phones Be Allowed in Classrooms? Most Parents Say Yes A national survey conducted on the role of technology in education – comprised of 30,000 students from over 6,500 private and public schools – has just been released, and (surprise, surprise!) students really wish they could use their phones in class. The full Speak Up report, titled “The New 3 E’s of Education: Enabled, Engaged and Empowered – How Today’s Students are Leveraging Emerging Technologies for Learning,” is part of an initiative investigating how students, educators and parents see technology (cell phones, laptops, eReaders, etc.) shaping the future of education. Some key bits: For high schoolers, 61% indicated they owned cell phones, though 53% of schools ban them outright. 74% of those students say they would likely use their phones to check grades, 68% say they would take class notes, and 44% would use them for digital textbooks.

What Does "Technology Integration" Mean? One reason why I love blogging is the chance to get a variety of responses to my ideas and thoughts. A reader of my last post commented: "This article describes how to help children learn to use an unfamiliar computer program. Is that what 'integrating technology' means?" This got me thinking: what do we really mean when we talk about "technology integration?" However, how do we get to that point? Therefore, technology integration may not look the way we want it to until our students move beyond familiarity with tools and into being able to choose the correct tool for the job. I see various levels of integration, with the ultimate goal being seamless integration. This table is by no means perfect, but is a starting point to think about how technology integration looks in your own classroom. To get to "seamless," you must ask yourself: What skills are applied to nearly all tools? Of course, you often do not have a choice about how integrated our classrooms are due to lack of availability.
