Educational Technology Infographics Elementary School Infographics Kindergarten Infographics Other Infographics Today, most Gen Xers and Gen Yers didn’t receive their first cellphone until they were in high school, maybe even college or later. But these days, children are getting their hands on mobile devices at a younger age every day. According to a new study, kids are ditching their nondigital toys by age three and turning their attention to smartphones and tablets.

Coding for Kindergarteners
Last year at this time, I was trying not to think about kindergarteners. I was still teaching ninth grade English and had just accepted a job teaching technology to K-5. I was excited about the challenge, and I knew that I'd bitten off more than I could chew. Developing the tech curriculum challenged me to teach programming or at least computational thinking at each elementary grade level. Our school is mid-pivot in technology -- we're in our second year of a middle school 1:2 iPad program, our first year of having a cart of iPads available for elementary, and our last year of two PC labs for the students to use (next year we'll have only one lab). Challenges and Resources I was really excited when I was introduced to the apps Daisy the Dinosaur and Hopscotch. With these apps, I was confident that I had a good entry point for grades 1 and 2. I'm happy to report that, my own surprise, the first challenge has been met. Practical Tips for the Early Grades The Power of Pairs

Build a Media Gallery With Your Students in 2013
One of the challenges of having students create videos, slideshows, podcasts, and other multimedia productions in your classroom is making sure that they are respectful of copyright. One way to avoid any worry about copyright is by having students use media that they have created from scratch. Of course, building up a gallery of media that is large enough for all of your students to use takes time. To start building up a gallery of images, sounds, and video clips that your students can use in their projects commit to a 365 project for 2013. This year have your students make daily contributions to a group media gallery. Tools for creating a classroom media gallery.Aviary's Mobile image editor is a free app for iOS and Android devices. To capture quick audio recordings try AudioBoo for Android and iOS devices. To organize your gallery of B-roll media try using DropItToMe to have students contribute to a DropBox folder.

Dorothy C. Kropf [Dorothy.Kropf@waldenu.edu], Walden University, 100 Washington Avenue South, #900, Minneapolis, MN 55401, United States of America [ Transformed into a large collaborative learning environment, the Internet is comprised of information reservoirs namely, (a) online classrooms, (b) social networks, and (c) virtual reality or simulated communities, to expeditiously create, reproduce, share, and deliver information into the hands of educators and students. Most importantly, the Internet has become a focal point for a potentially dynamic modern learning theory called connectivism. Like any learning theory, connectivism has its share of supporters and critics. Keywords: connectivism, e-learning, information repositories, learning theory Today’s students are “do-it-yourself” learners (Nussbaum-Beach & Hall, 2012, p.11). The most radical educational transformation befalls on higher education (Hogg & Lomicky, 2012). Figure 1. Online EPHOC Remix World NING site
The Digital Learning Switchover Infographic
Distance Education Infographics The Digital Learning Switchover Infographic explores the differences between an ‘analogue’ style lesson and the new ‘digital’ learning. According to the infographic, analogue lessons are about teacher-led input, which then means checking understanding through receptive practice, eventually leading to revision and assessment. Bringing mobile devices into the classroom opens up this straightforward system into one with more dynamic verbs like “publish”, “contextualise”, “share” and “extend”, allowing students to research and create things for themselves.
