Weblogg-ed

All forms of child abuse, not just sexual abuse, are undergoing a dramatic decline. Of course, you’d never know this from the hype the media is giving the cases of online related sexual abuse that they can trace back to MySpace or Facebook.

other people know. If you tell me something I didn’t know before, I’m
changed by that. I am not merely in receipt of a box of facts. I am
enlarged by knowing more than I did before.

Weblogs and Wikis as Work Arounds "The Internet really has become my notebook in a big way. Used to be a pretty much just a research tool, but now it's the warehousing and organizing tool as well. I can almost picture what a personal, interactive portal on the Internet might look and feel like...almost. Tom quotes Tim Berners-Lee whose original vision for the Internet was 'to connect every person to every other person.' We're getting there..."

Scott McLeod who is also on the call, (and has a list of the “education” bloggers on his site) says that the bill is basically useless because there is no attention to supporting and training school leaders (and Scott, if you read this, please feel free to be much more lucid about your question than I am being here…my brain was hurting at the time.) Another basic non answer answer and mercifully the staffer who set up the call chimes in and says time’s up.

By participating, they get to see what’s “inside” of creativity; learning how this stuff really works. It’s not truth, it’s what is presented. That teaches something crucially important for participating in modern society; how to tell the truth; how to acculturate what the truth is. " --Larry Lessig

First, in a world where we can learn anything, anywhere, anytime, we need every kid connected to the Internet. Second, we’re going to be throwing good money after bad on all this if we don’t start having a conversation about learning, not more content and skills. (It was a little better than that, I think.)

The thing that bothers me most when I see legislators, either national or state or local, putting up bills that are supposed to “protect” kids or make schools safer, is that none of them have a clue as to the technology that they are legislating. Case in point, this new proposal from the state house in Harrisburg, Pa.

Section 1317.1 Posession of [Telephone Pagers] Electronic Devices Prohibited.–(a) The possession by students of telephone paging devices, commonly referred to as beepers, cellular telephones and portable electronic devices that record or play audio or video material shall be prohibited on school grounds, at school sponsored activities, and on buses or other vehicles provided by the school district.

God forbid we manage to think about the phone as a learning device. I guarantee you that none of the sponsors of the bill have ever typed “define insipid >” (or any other word, for that matter) into a text message on their phone and sent it to 46645? (Try it sometime.) I know I mention this a lot in my presentations, but I’m wondering why cell phones aren’t a part of my kids’ curriculum between now and the time they graduate from high school. I’m wondering why teachers aren’t picking up their cell phones and finding answers to the questions they’re asking, modeling the technology for their students. Why they aren’t talking about ethical and effective use instead of making sure kids check them at the door.

As a journalism major, I really find the challenges that reporters and MSM are facing these days to be incredibly interesting. For me, the writing part was always the easy part; it was the reporting that I found and still find difficult, and these days the rules are being rewritten.

I mean seriously. Do we really think that in ten years’ time that my kids aren’t going to be using their phones in all kinds of ways that we haven’t even imagined yet?
