Less Talking About Twitter, More Asking About Learning | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

“No, tweeting isn’t for everyone, but here is another question: If used effectively, would it make someone a better educator?

 

If the answer is yes, then what?”

 

So I guess that I am asking you, what are the things outside of social media that make you a better teacher, learner, and/or leader?  Why?

Gust MEES's insight:

I taught my niece already 10 years ago as she was 4 1/2 and that worked perfectly! Kids are learning very quickly THE reflexes up from the moment that they understand the difference between GOOD and BAD, that's the moment where parents can start with it.

 

Also on that age they know the colors RED and GREEN, where GREEN is for GOOD and RED for BAD, here one can show them the following programs as:

Neelie Kroes blog - Protecting kids online: the industry setting new benchmarks for Safer Internet Day 2013 - European Commission

Neelie Kroes blog - Protecting kids online: the industry setting new benchmarks for Safer Internet Day 2013 - European Commission | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
European Commission

There are many different people who need to help build a better internet for kids. The private sector, in particular, can do a lot: after all, there the ones who often create and run websites, software, networks and devices. Showing that they’re “thinking safety” wouldn’t just be good for kids – it would be good for their bottom line: many children and parents do worry about this subject, and it’s time they saw the private sector as part of the solution, not part of the problem.

 

So I’m delighted that our “Internet coalition” of 31 leading companies, which we set up just over a year ago, has now reported: setting a new online industry benchmark for child protection. And look at how much progress has been committed after one year of collective work across sectors!

- Tools to report online abuse or bullying are now becoming universal.

- More and more of the devices you see for sale (from computers and mobiles, to games consoles and connected TV sets) will have parental control options.

 

- Age ratings, a long-standing and well-known feature for movies and video games, are starting to appear for apps and online content too – and the coalition will be working further on aligning systems to help this.

I will follow closely and make sure these leading companies deliver on their commitment in 2013 and beyond. And I would like to see the whole industry moving in the direction of child safety by default.

I think that this is such a great visual for my generation. It is so representative of how we rely, and use technology to demonstrate common core values in the classroom. This is great but it also could be our achilles heel, we need to apeal to all types of learners and visual is just one, there are so many more type that must be catered to so that we can be affective.
