Our sources of information were encyclopedias and other reference books. Very few families could afford them. I know my family could not. So we used the public and school libraries. That's just the way it was. Our teachers never worried about how we would access the needed resource materials.<br />I know, I'm dating myself as I went to school in the 60's and early 70's.Karen Janowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09735088828586482051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20103655.post-56736237938382835012010-02-10T09:14:12.615-08:002010-02-10T09:14:12.615-08:00I'm a former Church and Private School Tech Di...I'm a former Church and Private School Tech Dir. what you say may be true in your area but it not true in lots of area's around large city and small towns. Being a private school everyone had access and the school/church had 'fiter access' for them to use during study hall. (I uses a Sonicwall firewall and filter, porn and the such is out there and as a church I wanted to block what I could.) What I found out when three 'church techs' volunteered to help a 'mission school' (it's a private school in the hard part of town that) there were a high percentage that didn't have internet. And you know McDonald, Starbucks our not located in that part of town. We were able to get the 6th grade class all 'Dell basic laptops' but internet was just rare and this is Franklin TN a 'top 10' small city in America Just south of Nashville.my view from 6 foot 2https://www.blogger.com/profile/08831462868039912379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20103655.post-11609155856409170502010-01-18T11:38:44.041-08:002010-01-18T11:38:44.041-08:00I don't see that barrier at all.

The list of skills seemed like a great idea and so this year (2010) I decided to look it over and make it a springboard for my own list. This got me thinking more and so I wrote my own blog post which I am posting here also. Thanks for your though provoking and helpful ideas.<br /><br />___________________<br />All Teachers Really Need to Know about Technology…<br /><br />Is it possible that most of what teachers need to know in order to effectively use technology is “soft” knowledge, which is basically impossible to teach in the tradtional sense, but is picked up with use? Can they learn it all, or most of it, by using Facebook?<br /><br />I started this list because I was reading a blog post by Kyle Brumbaugh called the 50 Tech Skills the Tech Savvy Educator needs to have http://edtechvalley.blogspot.com/2008/12/top-50-skills-tech-savvy-educator-needs.html and I realized that even though I consider myself tech savvy I don’t know some of them! However, it is pretty easy for me to figure out how to learn these things. I didn’t know how to turn on Google Safe Search, but I did know how to get to an advanced search and figure it out. <br /><br />I decided that I don’t agree with Kyle about the skills a teacher needs to know. Knowing how to do a Google Safe Search doesn’t help teachers when Google moves the link or changes the process or if the teacher uses a different search engine. Teachers don’t need to know how to word process or step by step how to make a spreadsheet. We tried teaching them all of this and then a few years later they came back to us and said that they still need training. Most of the time teachers forget how to do things because they don’t use them right away after they are trained and they have no skills for figuring it out themselves. I thought that making sure they had the software or the equipment to use right after the training would help, but still the new learning would not get used right away and a month later they were back saying they needed more training.<br /><br />I think that Technology PD needs to be related to what teachers are doing anyway (either enhancing the curriculum or enhancing their lives (Facebook, personal slideshows) <br /><br />As a Technology Instructional Partner I can also secretly be figuring out ways to teach them the “soft” skills that will help them figure things out themselves and even help them to think of possibilities. Here are some beginning thoughts. I would be interested in your thoughts.<br /><br />1. How to figure out things you want to know, but don’t. (i.e. for me how to turn on Google Safe Search)<br />• how to ask questions that will get you someplace<br />• certain tech vocabulary can help (preferences, fyi, options, tools, etc…)<br />• how to edit your own privacy settings on a website<br />2. How to collaborate online.<br />• it is OK to edit someone elses work-the concept of “history” of a website<br />• Using Wikis, Blogs, Google Docs and Spreadsheets<br />• CAPITOLs means yelling.<br />3. How to keep kids save while using the Internet<br />• decode URLs<br />• how to deal with copyright-where to find the info.<br />• basic safety rules (use of names, personal information, what to do if…, )<br />4. How to deal with tech frustration and overload<br />• dealing with passwords<br />• it is OK to take baby steps, but not OK to stop<br />• When tension rises put technology aside. It will make sense or work tomorrow or later. <br />• photo and video management<br />5. Concepts<br />• embedding<br />• shared workspace<br />• backchanneling/multitasking<br />communication through images, video, etc… not just words<br /><br />My post is at http://malahinitx.blogspot.com.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20103655.post-63786652001648888742009-09-11T12:29:24.312-07:002009-09-11T12:29:24.312-07:00"Along with these developments, the Pew Inter..."Along with these developments, the Pew Internet and Life Project published a new report about how people are accessing the Internet and more than half (56%) have done so using a wireless connection through a phone or wifi."<br /><br />Speaking of that Pew Research report, a representative of Pew just discussed its findings <a href="http://safeinternet.org/blog/%E2%80%9C-experts%E2%80%99-take-new-online-demographics%E2%80%9D" rel="nofollow">in a recent podcast</a> about changing online demographics.SIAhttp://safeinternet.org/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20103655.post-28241382751808928412009-08-01T08:15:51.085-07:002009-08-01T08:15:51.085-07:00When graduates go on to community college (and fou...When graduates go on to community college (and four year colleges, I'm sure), there is an expectation that students will find a way to access Blackboard or WebCT. It takes time and hard work for a student to set up a schedule that does NOT include a web component. <br /><br />Students who do not have experience using the Internet in an educational context self-select out of on-line classes (often on the last day to drop). I would think that these students might benefit (for a number of reasons) from the flexibility of one or two online classes a semester.<br /><br />In my humble opinion, the whole equity/Internet argument really hurts students - the ones teachers think they are protecting.<br /><br />Keep up the good work Kyle.Daniel Kielynoreply@blogger.com
