Digital Citizenship and Cyber-Bullying 

7/19/2012

Cyber-Bullying  tends to be the buzz word right now.  With stories such as the Megan Meier tragedy, it is critical that we teach students how to be responsible, and most importantly, safe, in the digital world. 

The participants in the Technology Endorsement class just posted some very thought-provoking feedback regarding the importance of teaching about cyber-bullying , starting at a very young age.  Most of the participants in the class have recommended that we begin teaching about cyber-bullying as early as kindergarten.

Technology Endorsement - PLNs 

7/17/2012

 
Teachers participating in the technology endorsement had the opportunity to learn and develop a PLN (personal learning network) and how to use Web 2.0, Social Media, and other technology tools in their professional life.  Each teacher created a presentation using a Web 2.0 tool of their choice that represented their understand of what a PLN is and how they plan to continue to expand their PLN to help them learn and grow as educators. Below are links to a few of the presentations that were created.

STEM the Flipping iPad by BYOD!

7/9/2012

At the ISTE conference every year there are a few themes that emerge. The title of this post suggests the themes that I found this year and there were four of them. There was a lot of talk and some sessions on STEM. There was a LOT of talk and sessions on Flipping the Classroom. There were A LOT of sessions and workshops about using the iPad in education. Finally, THERE WAS A LOT OF TALK and sessions about BYOD. 

When I say there were a lot of sessions on these topics, I mean probably 10 or more each. One of the problems with the sessions though was that if you didn't get to the session 30-45 minutes early, you were not likely to get in. You literally needed to skip going to one session period to get to one the next period that you really wanted to see before everyone else got there.

This sign was a much too frequent sight.

Fortunately ISTE recorded 49 of the sessions, including one by our own PJ Giles and Sallie Warnecke on Creative Collaboration Using Comic Life. Unfortunately they can be a little difficult to find. If you would like to view the recorded sessions (Approx. 1 hr. each) Go to http://www.isteconference.org/2012/ Then under the Quick Links, click on Search the Program. You are taken to the Custom Search page. At the bottom of that page is a section called Other Search Options. Click on the expand button and one of the options then listed is Video-on-Demand. Click on that checkbox, then New Search and you will be taken to the list of sessions that were recorded. 

There are great sessions offered for review here. Find one that appeals to you and check it out. Many of these are sessions I was unable to get into,  so I am
