Checking this video I got to understand why some school systems in the US have a more proactive view about the appropriate use of the internet. They have a visionary perspective about the kind of instruction students need today. Regarding social networks, they ironnically believe that the more you train them on their applicability, protocols and correct use, the BETTER! Kids should have an access to the internet, in general. Will students benefit from this "Liberal Approach"?
Watch this video and leave your comments about it, and about those local agencies which are literally "against the general policy". If you were the principal of your school, would you have such an approach? What would happen to your students, your teachers and to you? Would you have a rather indifferent attitude towards it? Would you leave it to the total control of your board of education?
Choose your side!!!
See the videos related in queue,at the bottom, they are enlightening!
ReplyDeleteThis is an excellent follow-up to your post. Great job my friend you really keep us informed.
ReplyDeleteI liked the end comment...why would we want to teach our students to use the internet and not allow them to participate in the internet?
ReplyDeleteThat is so true Sir. What I have learnt in this life is that many people are selective and often times see and hear what they want to. It is like saying I like you but.... Everything in life has its pros and cons. We have to accept the internet for all that it has and learn how to use it appropriately.
ReplyDeleteGood follow up post as Visionary Leader said!
Hello Ancizar! This is Janet Cobos. Nice article. "No child left behind" turned into chibchonbiano ment decreto 230. Law which has not disappeared evethough they said so. Teachers must leverage technology and work in teams BUT, just in order to decrease ignorance levels, keep on talking the youth language, and prevent the profession from extintion, BUT NOT in order to make MORE MERE PRODUCTIVE CITIZENS. Have you ever read "Animal Farm"?
