This guide identifies five principles that represent the media literacy education community’s current consensus about acceptable practices for the fair use of copyrighted materials, wherever and however it occurs: in K–12 education, in higher education, in nonprofit organizations that offer programs for children and youth, and in adult education.
Todd A. Fishburn's instructional resources for K-12 teachers (from Seaford School District, Delaware).
The Technology Integration Matrix (TIM) illustrates how teachers can use technology to enhance learning for K-12 students. The TIM incorporates five interdependent characteristics of meaningful learning environments: active, constructive, goal directed (i.e., reflective), authentic, and collaborative (Jonassen, Howland, Moore, & Marra, 2003). The TIM associates five levels of technology integration (i.e., entry, adoption, adaptation, infusion, and transformation) with each of the five characteristics of meaningful learning environments. Together, the five levels of technology integration and the five characteristics of meaningful learning environments create a matrix of 25 cells as illustrated below.
You’ve likely heard of podcasting by now. Countless universities, colleges and K-12 classes worldwide are using the technology to deliver recorded lectures, news and information to students. In fact, nothing has had a greater impact on students since the invention of the paddle. OK, I kid, but I?m also making a point here—podcasting has taken education by storm, and the technology cannot be ignored.
Welcome to the Consortium for School Networking (CoSN) Small District Technology Leadership wiki.
The Consortium for School Networking (CoSN) is the country's premier voice for K-12 education leaders who use technology strategically to improve teaching and learning. The objective of this wiki is to provide a space for collaborative work around topics regarding effective planning for and use and implementation of technology.
There are a variety of sources on this wiki. CoSN, in conjunction with a grant from SRI International and support from the National Technology Activities contract with the U.S. Department of Education, has created the Small District Technology Leadership wiki to support systematic planning at the local level for district- and school-based technologies. The objective of this project is to develop a set of resources that fits the needs of small school districts, those with student populations of 2,500 or less. The content may prove useful for any district but is particularly focused on the specific needs and challenges of small school districts.
A conversation with Jeremy Roschelle about technology in K-12 math and science education.
2001: The past decade has seen great strides in the design of new learning technologies that support
learning aligned with standards-based constructivist and inquiry teaching practices. Though
there is considerable evidence that these technologies can help students learn when used
appropriately, they are rarely employed beyond the small-scale settings in which they were
designed and nurtured.
This page (megite.com) lists a bunch of sites related to edtags.org. The list is strikingly accurate!
Edtags caught my eye: a sector-specific deli.cio.us. And education has plenty of web-using professionals to make it worth trying. It says it has more than 17,000 bookmarks so far, and unsurprisingly much of the content and many of the users appear to be based in North America. The developers have made it compatible with deli.cio.us, which seems sensible.
A roundup of social bookmarking tools for education--or at least how general social bookmarking tools can be used in the field of education...
