Editor's Notes
- #7: Global competition for jobs means that today’s students must not only be well-educated, creative problem solvers but they must also be equipped to collaborate globally.
- #29: All students and teachers should conduct themselves in a professional and culturally sensitive manner. This includes the types of avatars they choose, the styles of language they use, and the quality of material they upload. Digiteen Project is a launching pad into this professional learning mode.
- #31: Homework, staying in touch with family, cultural understanding, blended learning
- #32: Develop strategies to measure and verify the quality and quantity of online participation using Web 2.0 toolsPractices for measuring student contribution - Ning and wiki. A group project using Web 2.0 tools now provides better transparency by being able to accurately record participant contribution. Both quality and quantity of contribution can be collected via history tabs on the wiki or revision history in Google docs.
- #48: Teachers are taught to:
- #49: 1) Research the Technology and become connected themselves
- #50: 2) Monitor and Be Engaged with the technology and the learning
- #51: 3) Avoid the Fear Factor: Make a difference. Fear-based education is shown to be ineffective in changing student behaviors - this focuses on the methods that work with students and promoting teacher behaviors that must underlie such an environment.
- #57: Simplified slide for access to resources
