10 years ago…”We” thought we succeeded with technology integration in schools.

K–12 schools, state and federal governments have spent around $6.9 billion on computer hardware, Internet access, wiring, software, servers, and

other digital equipment to make today’s technology available to students and

teachers

Recommendations have not changed much since 1983

1. Improve access, connectivity, and requisite infrastructure;

2. Create more, high-quality content and software;

3. Provide more, sustained, high-quality professional development and overall support for teachers seeking to innovate and grow in this domain;

4. Increase funding from multiple sources for a range of relevant activities

5. Define and promote the roles of multiple stakeholders, including the public and private sectors;

6. Increase and diversify research, evaluation, and assessment; and

7. Review, revise and update regulations and policy that affect in-school use of technology, particularly regarding privacy, and security.http://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:gz5N4W_2Me4J:www.ed.gov/rschstat/eval/tech/

Life Consequences

• Students are sometimes “sexting” “to friends for their entertainment value, as a joke or for fun."

• Six teens face child porn (13 to 15) charges after being caught "sexting" each other. Criminal Charge!

• IN PA, 3 girls (12, 12, 16) charged with child pornography for sexing. Picture of them in bras.

• 15% of teenagers have risque photos of themselves or their friends on their cell phones.

Current Banning and Structures are NOT working

• Students still “cheating”, “Off-task”, or “inappropriately” using cell phones in schools

• Students still bring them to schools and use them when told not to.

• Students still do not understand consequences of their use

• Students have no idea how to use them in future job force!

The history of educational technology has not been glowing, and it is difficult to point to particular advances in the effectiveness of schools that are related to technology (Cuban, Kilpatrick, & Peck, 2001).

Teacher’s Conference, 1703

“Student’s today can’t prepare bark to calculate their problems. They depend on their slates, which are more expensive. What will they do when the slate is dropped and it breaks? They will not be able to write.”

Principal’s Assocation, 1815

“Students today depend upon paper too much. They don’t know how to write on slate without getting chalk dust all over themselves. They can’t clean a slate properly. What will they do when they run out of paper?”

1999 Michael Mowe (1999) wrote in The Montgomery County Heard

“The Internet is not a great tool for teaching...People think that children can think of any topic and pull up a wealth of information on it, but that is not the case. The information in the library is what people seem to expect, but nobody has the time to transcribe entire libraries onto computers. There is nothing on the Internet that is incredibly beneficial to education.”

Mayor Micaehel bloomberg, 2007

“We are not going to allow iPods and BlackBerrys and cell phones and things that are disruptive in the classroom. Classrooms are for learning. Teachers cannot be expected to look under every kid’s desk at what they’re doing.”

I also understand that I may receive disciplinary consequences for violating school board policies regarding cyber-bullying. I _______________________ have gone over the Cell Phones in Class Acceptable Use Policy with my child and agree to allow my child to participate. 

Addressing: Safety & Access

Dr. Kipp Rogers Says…

"For the most part, the kids respect the rules. I never had any problems with kids using them inappropriately in my class. We spent a lot of time talking about their digital footprint and that what they do can be tracked.”

He said he initially worried about "the haves and have nots," but students work in teams for most assignments requiring cell phones, so there is always at least one phone among the group.

First Project

How to use Google to find information with their phones. (GOOGLE (466453).

http://www.google.com/mobile/products/sms.html#p=default

Using key words, students can look up definitions, download weather, get directions, search for information about a location or object, translate a word or phrase into Spanish or French or receive the latest sports scores for their favorite teams.

iReporting

Students also use their phones to take photos and assemble reports and story projects on Blogger.com

Some classes have blogs developed by the students with uploaded text, photos and audio clips.

Most of the programs he and the other teachers use are free.

Reviewing

“Students sat in small groups in the classroom, staring intently at a projected image at the front of the class. A question popped onto the screen. I gave the students a six-digit number and said, ‘Go.’ Instantly thumbs began dancing over cell phone keypads. Within seconds, phones trilled the signal that a text message had been sent. At the same time, answers began dropping into view on the screen, one answer for each group of students, identified by a student's cell phone screen name.” – Tony Neeley, Science Teacher

In less than an hour, the students worked their way through more than 70 questions for a semester exam review, with every eighth-grader participating!

Teacher’s Reactions

Teachers said participation is up and discipline problems are down in classes using cell phones.

Rogers is looking for ways to expand the phones' uses. "It's fighting a losing battle to ask them to leave them at home.”

Student’s Reaction

Sixth-grader Cassie Garn said her English teacher uses cell phones for several exercises.

"This is more interesting and people pay attention," she said. "It's fun. It beats writing stuff down and everybody likes to try to be first."

“My teacher roams the room to make sure students are sending answers and not texts to friends.”

"It's all related to work," Garn said. "We're not texting other people."

5 Rules for Cell Phones in Schools

Set rules based on business regulations for cell phone use (look at business contracts)

Social contract with students

Must be on vibrate at all times

Keep them in the front of the room until you are going to use them.

All messages/media sent or published must be related to lesson.

If you are referencing someone else in class, you must have their approval before posting or publishing.

Create a permission form (in addition to the School’s AUP)

Discuss Mobile Safety & Appropriate Use

• Part of digital footprint

• Your digital dossier that includes Internet activity such as social networking, email, chat rooms,

• YOU can’t erase this!!! Permanent record

• EVERYTHING you send via text message (pictures, videos, text, audio…etc) is PUBLIC!!!

• Example: Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick

• Mobile “bullying” and “sexting” is public

• Students should know their plans

• Bring in their cell phone plan and a bill

• Discuss what is charged and how much

• Give Students a Survey

In Cyberspace…

• Don’t assume anything you send or post is going to remain private.

• There is no changing your mind in cyberspace—anything you send or post will never truly go away.

• Don’t give in to the pressure to do something that makes you uncomfortable, even in cyberspace.

• Consider the recipient’s reaction.

• Nothing is truly anonymous.

Your Media is NEVER deleted!

Cambridge researchers posted pictures to sixteen websites, noting the direct URL to the image, and then deleted the original. They reopened the URLs over a period of 30 days to see whether the pictures were accessible and found that images were still visible on five sites at the end of that month. This is possible because the files remain in photo server caches of the underlying content delivery network (CDN) after they have been cleared from indices that provide data for dynamic pages (such as profiles) and search results. The terms of service for these sites indicate that deletion may not be immediate, with Facebook likening the process to putting a file in the Recycle Bin.

Way Back Machine

Social networks have been used to post content to embarrass or intimidate students, so it is important for learners to understand that the consequences of such actions may last even longer than they expected. Not only may content remain in caches and backups, but it can be copied to third party sites or be captured in archives without your knowledge or permission, such as the Wayback Machine.

53% of Employers Screen job candidates

via Social Networks

Looking for a job?

Of those hiring managers who have screened job candidates via social networking profiles, one-third (34 percent) reported they found content that caused them to dismiss the candidate from consideration.

Specific Reasons for NOT hiring based on Digital Footprint found

• 40% - candidate posted provocative or inappropriate photographs or information

• 29% - candidate had poor communication skills

• 28% - candidate bad-mouthed their previous company or fellow employee

• 22% - candidate’s screen name was unprofessional

The POSTIVE side of Digital Footprints!

On the other hand, social networking profiles gave some job seekers an edge over the competition.

24% of hiring managers who researched job candidates via social networking sites said they found content that helped to solidify their decision to hire the candidate.

Student or teacher Facebook Post? You Decide…

"you're a retard, but i love you.”

"I only have two feelings: hunger and lust. Also, I slept with a hooker. Be jealous. I like to go onto Jdate and get straight guys to agree to sleep with me."

"rocking out with some deaf kids. it. is. AWESOME."

Students who made light of drinking received jail sentences for DUI

Defense attorneys also use social networking sites to dig up dirt on witnesses

PROVIDENCE, Rhode Island (AP) -- Two weeks after Joshua Lipton was charged in a drunken driving crash that seriously injured a

woman, the 20-year-old college junior attended a Halloween party dressed as a prisoner. Pictures from the party showed him in a

black-and-white striped shirt and an orange jumpsuit labeled "Jail Bird.”

Clean Up Social Networking Site

1. Take control of your photos. Your personal and professional life are becoming one, largely due to Facebook. Go through what you have on your social network & untag yourself in photos that an employer might find inappropriate.

2. Set privacy settings. You have less reason to worry if employers can’t access your digital life.

3. Post photos that promote you as a professional. If you have photos from volunteering, studying abroad, working a job, giving a presentation, or any other semi-professional event, post them. They go a long way to help counteract other photos that might negatively impact your image.

4. Put up a clean profile photo of yourself. Even if you got a lot of compliments on your stripper Halloween costume, a profile picture that isn’t associated raucous college partying means a lot to people in hiring positions.

5) Stay active online. By commenting on blogs and forums, updating your profiles, and even creating your own site you can become much more visible and credible online. This gives the people who search you a much more comprehensive picture of who you are and allows you to highlight the good and bury the bad

6. Be mindful of who you accept as a “Friend.” Poor choices could reflect badly on you as a professional. Make sure to monitor their comments on your sites as well.
