TheirSpace: Educating Digitally Ethical Teens · techwithintent · Storify

The most significant goal of this presentation is to provide frameworks for schools, teachers and parents to use in developing a Digital Ethics curriculum alongside other elements of technology integration. By layering common data about use on top of current work on brain science, and adolescent media, we'll offer access points for meaningful engagement of complex teen issues in a quickly evolving digital geography. In particular we are presenting ways to link "non-native users" with digital natives through an exploration and application of ethics. We'll use storytelling, data models, and examples of lesson series, which empower students to engage adults knowledgeably, and equitably in the learning curve that characterizes conversations about behavior online and within social media contexts. At our school, we have seen the incidence of online harassment decline well below national norms while students are increasingly utilizing the tools of informed citizenship, caring for each other online, and resolving conflict in sophisticated ways.

- No one knows Africa like someone born and raised surrounded by it’s magic and beauty. The owner and founder of Rothschild Safaris, Leora Rothschild, grew up in South Africa and traveled throughout this magnificent continent falling in love with its wild scenery, amazing wildlife and the elegant rhythms of safari life.
  Fifteen years ago, after working with some of the premier safari companies in the world, her passion for Africa led her to form Rothschild Safaris to share with others her love and in depth knowledge of Africa and enable them to experience the life changing magic it so often works on those who experience its wonders.

Launch of New Digital Literacy Portal: THINKB4U

Feb. 7, 2012 – Today, on Safer Internet Day, we proudly announce the launch
of a new digital literacy portal, ThinkB4U. ThinkB4U is a collaboration between Google and expert safety partners Common Sense Media, ConnectSafely, and the National Consumers League . Together we are tackling some of the biggest learning curves thrown at the average user
in a fun and interactive way.

As more of our life happens online, Internet skills are crucial to living
responsibly. What are the skills needed to navigate today’s Internet
society? How can parents and educators teach themselves, their families,
and their communities about important topics like identity protection,
fraud detection, and digital citizenship?

To answer these questions, ThinkB4U combines “choose-your-adventure” style
videos with resources from trusted consumer safety experts. ThinkB4U
follows a family through its daily activities with media use, and examines
the scenarios and outcomes of online decisions. Should Nat send that text?
Should Grandma buy the ukulele from that online seller? You get to decide
the ending.

This Is How Apple Changes Education, Forever

Apple’s plan to bring iPad textbooks to schools across America and around the world via iBooks 2 and iBooks Author is nothing short of a revolution. It could mean the end of giant, overused dog-eared volumes jammed into bulging backpacks balanced atop the over-burdened backs of America’s youth.It might also mean I’ll never have to explain to my daughter again where the rest of chapter 16 went.

What You (Really) Need to Know - NYTimes.com

"A PARADOX of American higher education is this: The expectations of leading universities do much to define what secondary schools teach, and much to establish a template for what it means to be an educated man or woman. College campuses are seen as the source for the newest thinking and for the generation of new ideas, as society’s cutting edge. "

Danah Boyd - Cracking Teenagers’ Online Codes - NYTimes.com

"WITH her coordinated zebra-striped scarf, tights and arm warmers (arm warmers?), spiky out-to-there hat and pierced tongue, 34-year-old Danah Boyd provides an electric Gen Y contrast to the staid gray lobby of Microsoft Research in Cambridge, Mass., which she enters in a flurry of animated conversation, Elmo-decorated iPhone in hand. In a juxtaposition that causes her no end of mischievous delight, her laptop bears a sticker of Snow White, whose outstretched arm gently cradled the Apple logo. "

NOTE: GPSVisualizer_overlays.kml (a GE "network link") gives you automatic access to this form's output from within Google Earth. [more info]

This page will help you create alternate overlays for use with Google Earth. It's true that Google Earth already contains high-resolution satellite data for many cities (and even some non-urban areas); but in parts of the U.S., the USGS black-and-white 1m aerial photos provide better detail, and the USGS topo maps contain information which is not available in GE in any form. For the rest of the world, the images from NASA's MODIS satellites might be of interest, if your data covers a large area; they transmit up-to-date (but low-resolution) images back to earth every day.

Blogs vs. Term Papers - NYTimes.com

OF all the challenges faced by college and high school students, few inspire as much angst, profanity, procrastination and caffeine consumption as the academic paper. The format — meant to force students to make a point, explain it, defend it, repeat it (whether in 20 pages or 5 paragraphs) — feels to many like an exercise in rigidity and boredom, like practicing piano scales in a minor key.

Mobile Education Store | Helping Kids Connect the Dots

The apps you’ll find on this site were designed to help elementary age children build their language skills.

They are being used by educators to help kids who are struggling with syntax or narrative skills, healthcare professionals working with special needs children, teachers in ESL classrooms and parents of kids who just need a bit of extra help. All the apps engage the visual, audio and tactile senses, helping students learn faster and retain what they’ve learned.

Lee Kolbert: Top 10 Reasons Why I'm Not Following You On Twitter And 10 Why I Am

For me and many educators, Twitter has often been like an online faculty lounge where I get control over who stays in the room and who has to leave.

A new list published during the Edublogs awards lets you check out some of the best education sites out there.

I’d recommend adding as many of these sites (including Edudemic!) to your preferred RSS reader as soon as possible.

Open Educational Resources infoKit / What are Open Educational Resources

"There is no one, standard definition of Open Educational Resources. However, the following broad definition of OERs from OER Commons seems to be generally accepted by the community:

Open Educational Resources (OER) are teaching and learning materials that are freely available online for everyone to use, whether you are an instructor, student or self-learner. Examples of OER include: full courses, course modules, syllabi, lectures, homework assignments, quizzes, lab and classroom activities, pedagogical materials, games, simulations, and many more resources contained in digital media collections from around the world.

OERs exist within a wider 'Open' movement and context, explored below."

Science Literacy Maine UnConference

2011-12-04T20:41:00.001-05:00

Saturday, I attended an unconference at the Gulf of Maine Research Center in Portland, Maine. One of the organizers, Justine (we met at EdCamp Keene and EdCamp Boston) wanted to try arranging an unconference based on a topic to see who might attend. She capped participants at 50. The topic was Science Literacy.

And what a terrific day of the "meeting of the minds". I enjoyed meeting everyone and was so impressed by the diversity and knowledge of the group. It's wonderful to know that such a pool of talent exists locally. The food was yummy and the spaces were perfect for sharing. Thank you Justine and Gayle for organizing the day. It was a great success. I hope we can do it again.

Resources are posted here.

The young members of the Lab, coached by Berkman mentors, play the role of online and offline “ambassadors” and are trained to engage kids in their home towns, school districts, etc. on information quality and news literacy issues using some of the highly effective peer-learning strategies identified in previous youth-related research.
