This guide provides instructions and ideas for using the Action Zone activities that are bundled in this Ethical Use Kit. The Sorting Hat Challenge requires searchers to dig for information within a site to find its author. Four new MicroModule Companions test skills in finding information about Copyright, Citation and Plagiarism (2 sets). In addition to serving as tutorial resources, each one may be used to assess the extent to which students are able to demonstrate skills in secondary searching and citing resources properly.

Learning basic digital skills through use of a network is somewhat of a contradiction. Hence, I have commented on Siemens’s key principles in the context of this most fundamental learning in a networked world. In the developing world, the most basic of digital skills (keyboard, mouse, logging on etc.) have to be learned before more valuable skills (searching, publishing) can be developed.
A non-networked person will have been exposed to only a narrow range of opinions. Hence the acquisition of digital skills is an essential precursor to accessing a diversity of opinions. It is no surprise that repressive regimes limit access to diversity of information.
However, a more fundamental learning is that of understanding that such sources exist and how to find them.

When we decide that digital is the only way, we lack the foresight to know it is not for everyone immediately. We need to learn what is relevant and what is not. Delete the scoop?

Meet the latest tech superheroes: school librarians. According to School Library Journal’s 2012 School Technology Survey, media specialists are leading the charge to bring new media, mobile devices, social apps, and web-based technologies into our nation’s classrooms.
So far, the results have been pretty impressive: 87 percent of school librarians report that they’re in charge of their library’s technology, with 60 percent adding that they’ve also introduced it into the classroom. Furthermore, 44 percent now serve on their school’s tech team, and in these budget-troubled times, when many library positions are on the line, that role may mean increased job security. In fact, 55 percent of the elementary, middle, and high school librarians that responded to our survey say that their tech skills have increased their value in administrators’ eyes.

Colleen Lee: I remember when I first figured out the “power of the pair”. I had walked onto our school library and the noise was way above what I would expect. I asked our librarian how it could be like that and she told me it wasn’t ‘noise’ – that if I listened closely it was ‘learning’. As I looked around the room it was evident. Students were working together to help each other in learn. For me the ‘pair’ is now one of my most powerful tools. I use it in all my foreign language classes and see it increasingly used in other disciplines. Here’s a few reasons why: Via Dennis T OConnor

Als betrokken vader van een schoolgaande dochter (basisschool, groep 5) heb ik een aantal jaar deel uitgemaakt van de ouderraad. Hierbinnen fascineerden vooral de uiteenlopende beelden over mediagebruik mij mateloos. Terwijl sommige ouders al volop aan het twitteren waren, hoorde ik in 2011 op school nog de legendarische opmerking dat “mailen het helemaal ging worden”. Ondertussen liepen de kinderen nog altijd op het schoolplein met papieren brieven over een kamp of 10-minutengesprek. Delete the scoop?

Vanochtend heb ik eindelijk gelegenheid gehad om een zeer gedegen analyse over de 'Steve Jobs'-scholen te lezen. .Hulshof focust zich daarbij terecht op vier kernelementen van het schoolmodel van O4NT, en niet op de naam of het apparaat: Het onderscheid tussen een fysieke en een virtuele schoolDe verschillende leerdoelen (kerndoelen en 21st century skills)Communities in en rond de school (de school als onderdeel van een groter geheel)De praktische organisatie van de school (wat uiteenvalt in acht aspecten)Casper concludeert dat het schoolmodel ambitieus en redelijk coherent is, maar dat er ook nog wel wat hobbels te nemen zijn. Het is bijvoorbeeld onduidelijk hoe men vorderingen van lerenden wil gaan monitoren. Hij constateert terecht dat de iPad eigenlijk maar een bijrol vervult in het concept. .. Delete the scoop?
