"My students in class are writing papers on this starting tomorrow.  I am looking forward to the responses.  If I get kids interested in learning more uses, do you know of a good intermediate (5th/6th) resource to read?"

They found that playing video games led to markedly lower sleep quality than watching TV, and also led to a “significant decline” in the boys’ ability to remember vocabulary words. The findings were…See More

Facebooking First Graders

The other day my principal called my classroom and asked me to send a few of my students (8th graders) down to her office. She said someone had created a fake Facebook page for one of our campus supervisors, and three of my students appeared to be involved. They had copied a picture of the victim from his own Facebook page, and then gave him a name that was a slight variation of his own. Then they filled the page with all kinds of hateful profanity.These kids are so clueless about social…See More

Rugrats online?

I read a fun blog post here about bringing technology to rugrat-age students.  Now I'm curious: how young should we start?  But more important, with what do we start?  What should kindergartners learn to do with technology?  I'd love to hear from teachers at the elementary level who have made some decisions about…See More

"I found some examples online where people violated the terms and had their accounts disabled. I thought I might share those. But I also discovered some interesting things in the terms that the kids need to know... many adults probably should, too.…"

Since social networking appears to be here to stay, don't we owe it to our students to teach them how to use these sites safely and responsibly? Since bringing my students on to a class blog last year, I discovered how little they really know… Continue

The Myth of the Digital Native

Posted on August 23, 2010 at 7:30pm 2 Comments

Kids today are born with a mouse in their hand, right? They navigate websites intuitively, clicking their way around the Internet with their eyes closed. Their teachers are stuck in the binder-paper-and-#2-pencil routine, while the students go home to blogs, wikis and websites. Our students are the digital natives, while we are the immigrants, relying on pre-teens to show us how to insert a picture into a document...… Continue
