Technology Supporting Education

According to U.S. Department of Education, twenty-first century classrooms are in a state of revolutionary transformation.

In order to meet the demands of 21st century learning there has been a paradigm shift in education and how technology is integrated within.

Technology allows for personalized learning models that open the door for students to take ownership and become empowered in their educational journey (The Journal, 2018.)

Technology Supporting Education

Much of Pennoyer’s curriculum, classroom activity resources and assignments require access to school managed apps that are not accessible to home devices.

In order to ensure the academic success of the students, Pennoyer School is providing the ability for students in grades 3-8 to take their devices home and have the necessary access to district applications.

My Message today:

Technology is a wonderful tool and if used responsibly, can be a powerful way to access information, learn, and be creative. However, as parents, we need to be aware of the pitfalls of technology use and take steps to prevent possible problems.

Make a Plan:

Decide what will be done and when it will be over...not necessarily time.

Example: “I will be on the iPad to make this Pic Collage for school.”
Example: “I will play the car-racing game until I advance to the next level.”
Example: “I will be on minecraft for 15 minutes.”

Keep Screens in One Place

Treat screen time like a ‘date’
Having a designated spot for digital devices, makes it less likely that your child will go everywhere with it...dinner table, in front of tv, bedroom…
This also makes it easier to supervise
Every source I’ve read on this topic says... keep the digital devices out of the bedroom

15 of 35

Find the Balance

Digital vs Non-Digital
Find the balance...and if it is difficult in the beginning, make a more structured plan

example: 30 minutes of bike-riding earns 10 minutes of Tech Time

Active can mean drawing, cooking, dancing, etc.

16 of 35

Take a Tech Break

Designate times that you will not use technology
Put devices out of reach and out of “ear”
When not using a device turn it ALL THE WAY OFF...not only is the good for the device, but you will be less likely to go back to it if it is OFF

17 of 35

Get Creative

For example, if your child is really into the world of gaming…

Make a board game version of the game
Draw characters and scenes from the game
Write stories about the game
Imagine you meet one of the characters
There are many books about gaming, coding, and game design

More tips for Parents of Gamers

Have the conversation...

What keeps you coming back to games? The people who create these games are very smart in how they design them! They want you to keep playing!

Achievement: Makes you feel like you’re getting better at something; getting to the ‘next level’, getting a badge, or your name on a leaderboard.

Random Rewards: You never know what or when the next reward or treasure is coming. It could be just around the corner. A powerful tool to get you to keep playing!

More tips for Parents of Gamers (continued)

Duty: This is why many games have ‘multiplayer’ mode. They want you to feel like you’re letting people down if you don’t play.

Penalties for quitting: In some games you lose everything you worked for if you stop playing.

Fantasy: Get to do things you don’t do in the real world. This is fine... UNLESS it makes you spend so much time on the game that it causes problems in your life.

* Remember...this is all exactly how the game designer intends!

Social Media

Most social media has an age requirement for a reason
However...young people still go on and so, it is important to have the conversations

Support at Pennoyer

We understand kids are learning to navigate the complex world of technology.
We are committed to supporting each child and understanding of digital citizenship

Passwords
Private/personal information
Photographs
Property (copyright)

Permission
Protection
Professionalism
Personal brand (digital footprint)

Passwords: Do students know how to create a secure password? Do they know that email and online banking should have a higher level of security and never use the same passwords as other sites? Do they have a system like LastPass for managing passwords, or a secure app where they store this information?

Private/Personal information: Private information is information that can be used to identify a person. Do students know how to protect details like their address, email, and phone number? I recommend the Common Sense Media curriculum on this. While this information (like the number of brothers and sisters you have or your favorite food) can’t be used to identify you, you still need to choose who you will share it with.

Photographs: Are students aware that some private details (like license plates or street signs) may show up in photographs, and that they may not want to post those pictures? Do they know how to turn off a geotagging feature? Do they know that some facial recognition software can find them by inserting their latitude and longitude in the picture—even if they aren’t tagged? (See my “Location-Based Safety Guide.”)

Property: Do students understand copyright, Creative Commons, and how to generate a license for their own work? Do they respect the property rights of those who create intellectual property? Some students will search Google Images and copy anything they see, assuming they have the rights. Sometimes they’ll even cite “Google Images” as the source. We have to teach them that Google Images compiles content from a variety of sources. Students have to go to the source, see if they have permission to use the graphic, and then cite that source.

Permission: Do students know how to get permission for work they use, and do they know how to cite it?

Protection: Do students understand what viruses, malware, phishing, ransomware, and identity theft are, and how these things work?

Professionalism: Do students understand the professionalism of academics versus decisions about how they will interact in their social lives? Do they know about netiquette and online grammar? Are they globally competent? Can they understand cultural taboos and recognize cultural disconnects when they happen, and do they have the skills to work problems out?

Personal brand (DIGITAL FOOTPRINT): Have students decided about their voice and how they want to be perceived online? Do they realize they have a “digital tattoo” that is almost impossible to erase? Are they intentional about what they share?
