Good morning everyone,
The two K class members have made an impressive start and I am hoping that the rest of you will be inspired by their good blog entries.
In my list of bookmarks from Diigo was this entry yesterday. I read a book about this effect several years ago although I cannot remember the title of it and it is in Florida but this is a digest of what it said. Mike Fisher seems to work for ASCD and as such is a serious blogger. You can read the blog for yourself but you can see that the digital native often feels out of place in the world of academia. I'd love to hear your comments; is this true in your class, especially those of you who teach older kids or who have your own kids that might fit this stereotype?
Here's the link.
While I was getting ready for class I went over some of the Diigo
bookmarks that others had shared with me and was fascinated to see this
one. It would be great to hear how you feel about this person's blog writing.
Hope you had a great 4th of July.

WOW - EVERY teacher should read the link you provided - the snapshot of a digital native's school day. It's a powerful insight to the interface of teachers and students today. I have not seen it to this extent, but I am not surprised at this account. It would seem that part of our job as teachers is to help a student to determine WHEN to access info - specifically social media so students maximize their in-class time. ( Yeah, but the time needs to be worth maximizing, as shown by the same article.)
