Teaching Students Better Online Research Skills

Teaching Students Better Online Research Skills | Being Online | Scoop.it
Many educators are explicitly teaching online research skills, such as how to evaluate a website's credibility, how to use precise keywords, and how to better mine search engines.

Jan Schwartz's curator insight, May 24, 11:57 AM

The idea of having a class 'searcher' is brilliant!  This rotating responsibility gives students a chance to practice their skills in the classroom without having to add to the curriculum.

Where the real dangers lie in social networking use | Being Online | Scoop.it
But by far the most likely threat that Paul or any of us face in any online presence is what we do to ourselves by posting in thoughtless ways that may impact our reputations. The understanding that little or nothing posted online remains private is key to "online safety.".

5 Teacher Secrets for Managing the One-to-One Classroom

5 Teacher Secrets for Managing the One-to-One Classroom | Being Online | Scoop.it

"Chances are your first or second answer is classroom management and that’s in the ordinary classroom.  With one-to-one classroom technology integration, classroom management takes on a whole new meaning.  Not only must you manage between 20 and 30 students, their individual learning paths, and the classroom environment, but you must also help them to use technology tools in ways that deepen learning, enhance creativity, and maximize time on task whenever possible. Make no mistake—this is no mean feat!"

iPads for education? | Teacher's Monthly

iPads for education? | Teacher's Monthly | Being Online | Scoop.it

"Elkanah have a set of iPads that roam around from class to class. Both schools found it important for the teachers to be acquainted with the technology before the learners began using it in school. Elkanah provided teachers with iPads six months before implementing the system with learners. Stadler found that this approach worked best and that hands-on staff training was very important. Elkanah selected their Grade 6 teachers, being the most technology-enthused group in the school, to take part in the iPad project. “Sharing ideas and collaborating amongst each other while using the device as a personal device first, before taking it to the classroom, was a key to success,” said Stadle"
