Children's apps and websites raise privacy concerns

Children's apps and websites raise privacy concerns | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Given the publicity attracted by recent high-profile data breaches and the consequences for those whose personal information was subsequently leaked, it may, perhaps, concern parents to learn that around half of the sites examined by GPEN were happily and willingly sharing their children's data with third parties.

Also, considering the occasionally dark nature of the world we live in, anyone with responsibility for a child's welfare may well not like the revelation that just under 1 in 4 sites and apps gave kids the opportunity to upload their photo or add video clips. 22% of the services looked at also allowed youngsters to hand over their phone numbers.

Sadly, despite the potential problems posed by allowing children to share too much data, only 24% of the tested apps and websites encouraged any sort of parental oversight.

What's more, should a concerned adult discover that their offspring is revealing too much personal information, the options for remedying the situation are few and far between - with 71% of the investigated services making it difficult or impossible to delete accounts.

Adam Stevens, head of the ICO's intelligence hub said:

These are concerning results. The attitude shown by a number of these websites and apps suggested little regard for how anyone's personal information should be handled, let alone that of children.

The Creative Classrooms Lab project (CCL) brought together teachers and policy-makers in eight countries to design, implement and evaluate 1:1 tablet scenarios in 45 schools. The project produced learning scenarios and activities, guidelines and recommendations to help policy-makers and schools to take informed decisions on optimal strategies for implementing 1:1 initiatives in schools and for the effective integration of tablets into teaching and learning. The project, funded by the European Commission’s Lifelong Learning Programme, was coordinated by European Schoolnet, involved 10 partners and ran from April 2013 to May 2015.

Featured Activity: International Pen Pals | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
How does this activity impact your students?

The PenPal News program challenges them to craft precise questions for their international partners to read and consider. If my students can develop a keen sense of how to elicit meaningful answers from a peer writing in his or her second language, they can certainly practice high-quality reporting right here when they work as student journalists around the school. Some of my students have kept in touch with their pen pal through social media, and a few have developed friendships that have lasted for years.


Do you have advice for teachers who want to get more involved with global programs?

Start with a program that provides resources and support, like PenPal Schools. Determine what standards you want and need to address through the program. Schedule time in your class to proctor and participate—and soon you will be experiencing a dynamic shift in how your students learn.

EUN Academy


Join us on this exciting course covering the hugely important topic of developing digital skills in our classrooms. Digital skills are already an essential requirement for young people to succeed in an increasingly digitized society. Not only are these skills demanded for an increasing number of jobs, they also are a requirement and a right of citizens, if they are to be functional in today’s society. 


Schools and teachers therefore need support to work with their students to develop a wide range of digital skills that ensure young people leaving school have the skills required by the labour market and by an increasingly digitized society. 


The course therefore aims to guide teachers in how to develop a range of digital skills and to introduce them to the tools and resources that are available to them. At the end of the course, teachers should be able to design lessons that focus on a range of digital skills, make use of innovative tools to assist their own and the students’ work in this area.

'Sometimes I'm terrified' of the Internet of Things, says father of the Internet | CyberSecurity

'Sometimes I'm terrified' of the Internet of Things, says father of the Internet | CyberSecurity | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Vint Cerf is known as a "father of the Internet," and like any good parent, he worries about his offspring -- most recently, the IoT.

"Sometimes I'm terrified by it," he said in a news briefing Monday at the Heidelberg Laureate Forum in Germany. "It's a combination of appliances and software, and I'm always nervous about software -- software has bugs."

The Internet of Things will offer the ability to manage many of the appliances we depend on, acknowledged Cerf, who won the Turing Award in 2004. With its ability to continuously monitor such devices, it also promises new insight into our use of resources, he said.

Devices such as Google's Nest thermostat, for instance, can "help me decide how well or poorly I've chosen my lifestyle to minimize cost and my use of resources -- it can be an important tool," he said.

As with so many technological tools, however, there are plenty of potential downsides. Safety is one of them.

Cerf is now vice president and chief Internet evangelist at Google, but you won't find him enjoying any of the massage chairs the company provides for its employees. "I know they're run by software -- I worry they will fold up on me," he quipped.

As more such appliances are run by software, people will be increasingly reliant on programmers' ability to write good code, he pointed out.

"It's fraught with issues, some technical and some legislative," he said. "Who is liable when an appliance doesn't work the way it should, and what if that's a software question?"

Connecting Students and Teachers for Better Learning

Connecting Students and Teachers for Better Learning | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Research demonstrates that a sense of social connection can improve learning. In fact, activities that bring students together — like peer tutoring and cooperative learning — have shown a marked increase of up to 75% greater performance on assessments. Teachers who support student-centered learning in this way often make a bigger impact on students’ lives and education than teachers who remain aloof or apart from their students.

A sense of separation from a teacher (and other students) can happen pretty easily in an online environment. It can take a special effort on the part of online teachers to become a “favorite teacher”. David Wiley noted that the impersonal nature of the web is not only easy to slip into, it is sometimes designed into the way LMSs direct pedagogy:

“With the pile of philosophical, conceptual, and empirical evidence showing the social nature of learning and the importance of human relationships (particularly the relationship between teacher and student) in learning and wellbeing, why are we working so hard to automate away any opportunity for these relationships to exist?”

But the truth is that there are a myriad of ways that teachers and students can create digital connections in online classes. A new paper from the Research and Education Department — “Increased Social Connectedness through Digital Peer Learning” — explores several ways that Canvas supports social learning, including:

Peer Tutoring
Reciprocal Teaching

The One Thing We Can't Afford to Waste in Education

The One Thing We Can't Afford to Waste in Education | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

I hadn't heard Fuller's realisation previously, but it does put some sense into the world, and can be utilised across education and many other channels.

Emma Miller's curator insight, August 25, 2015 8:53 PM

The article is a very interesting one as it brings up a very good point. Education is a a vital part of society as it develops better individuals and prepares the future of the country. The key idea of this article is that the K-12 education system does not key in on what each student is best as and prepare them for a career they would look into and excel in. Instead, we do a general education with your "core classes" such as math, english/reading, science, and social studies. I personally find that way of education contradicting as the standardized testing being issued nationwide through Common Core is named "Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers" so you would think we key in on what students feel they will go into as a career. This idea that K-12 education could be bettered by keying in on a student's strengths is a rather good one. Rather than producing the "well-rounded" student that knows endless fats about subjects not needed for their career, they excel at their future career, whether it be medical, economic, political, or anything in the world.

Ce philosophe français qui tranche avec ses pairs s'intéresse dans son dernier ouvrage, Oser la jeunesse, aux "nouveaux jeunes" dans une société qui, assure-t-il, ne rate jamais une occasion de les déconsidérer. Pour les sauver du suivisme consumériste ou du manichéisme des islamistes, Vincent Cespe


À méditer et suivre...

Devenir compétent en matière numérique : un devoir pour le citoyen du 21e siècle

Devenir compétent en matière numérique : un devoir pour le citoyen du 21e siècle | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Le travail, l’employabilité, l’enseignement, les loisirs, l’intégration et la participation dans la société… Tous ces sujets et d’autres domaines de notre société sont de plus en plus « numérisés », c’est-à-dire que les informations et les services sont de plus en plus accessibles via l’internet.


Par conséquent, la compétence numérique est essentielle pour pouvoir participer dans la société et l’économie d’aujourd’hui. Étant une compétence transversale, la compétence numérique aide également à maîtriser d’autres compétences clés, telles que la communication, les langues ou des compétences de base en mathématiques et en sciences.


Être compétent en matière numérique dans le monde d’aujourd’hui exige non seulement un accès et une utilisation des TIC, mais aussi une connaissance appropriée, des compétences et des attitudes envers elles.


Selon une enquête de 2014 sur l’insertion et les compétences numériques dans l’UE, jusqu'à 47 % de la population européenne n’a pas suffisamment de compétences numériques, dont 23 % qui n’en a pas du tout.

It’s time to demystify computational thinking

It’s time to demystify computational thinking | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
In the universe of computer science, the definition and application of computational thinking is widely acknowledged as a pathway to problem solving, easily transferable to other academic subjects and even everyday life.

Computational thinking (CT) es un proceso orientado a la solución de problemas, particularmente  los relativos a aplicaciones computacionales, pero que no deja de ser útil en otras disciplinas. Google ofrece una serie de recursos para experimentar, ganar destreza y conocimientos en CT, lo cual es vital para la programación de computadoras.

Why We Can No Longer Rely Only On Schools And Companies For Professional And Personal Development

Why We Can No Longer Rely Only On Schools And Companies For Professional And Personal Development | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

There once was a time where everything you needed to know for your career was taught to you by the educational institution you attended and the company you worked for. You would go get your four year bachelor’s degree in whatever topic and that information would stay with you for a little while, then you would periodically take some additional classes offered through your company.


Today by the time you graduate with a four year college degree most of the information you will learn will be outdated and perhaps obsolete.


The world has changed and it’s up to us as individuals (and as companies) to make sure that we can change too. Organizations must enable employees by deploying the right technologies to connect people and by supporting employees and allowing them learn outside of the company. Individuals must get rid of all excuses and understand that they can learn anything they want anytime they want to learn it.

What Do We Really Mean When We Say ‘Personalized Learning’?

What Do We Really Mean When We Say ‘Personalized Learning’? | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
“We often say we want creativity and innovation – personalization – but every mechanism we use to measure it is through control and compliance,” Laufenberg said. “Those things never come together as long as that is the overriding moment.” She cautions educators who may be excited about the progressive educational implications for “personalized learning” to make sure everyone they work with is on the same page about what that phrase means.

6 Tips For Creating Effective Student Groups | LEARNing To LEARN | eSkills

6 Tips For Creating Effective Student Groups | LEARNing To LEARN | eSkills | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Grouping students is easy; creating effective student groups is less so.

The following infographic from Mia MacMeekin seeks to provide some ideas to help make group work easier in your classroom. The strength of this particular graphic is in the range of the ideas. The first tip refers teachers to Vygotsky’s Zone of Proximal development, which frames student ability in terms of a range: what they can do unassisted, what they can do with the support of a More Knowledgeable Other (MKO), and what they cannot do even with support. This is different for each student, and understanding these ranges for students can help inform grouping decisions, whether you’re using a peer instruction model, ability grouping, or another approach.

I love letting my students work in groups, this such a great 'cheat sheet' on how to do group-work right!
Annaliese Mauchline's curator insight, May 18, 2020 9:30 PM
One of the things I love implementing in my classes is group work, and this resource presents a short 'cheat sheet' for how to do group-work right - how to maximise that collaborative opportunity.
James Douglas's curator insight, May 20, 2020 9:07 PM
What a great breakdown of how to create effective student groups. Especially relevant to Film and Media collaborations for developing student centred learning and higher order thinking. It's not simply a matter of pairing friend with friend!
