ITEA's Technology for All Americans Project Technological Literacy Standards Briefings "Promoting Technological Literacy for All" ITEA has prepared a new set of ten videos that do a great job of explaining the ITEEA Standards for Technological Literacy (STL). Advancing Excellence in Technological Literacy (AETL), the four Addenda publications to STL and AETL, and other topics relevant to the standards. These are called the Technological Standards Briefings. Click here for the Technological Literacy Standards Briefings videos.

Have your say: guidelines for writers and contributors | Global Development Professionals Network | Guardian Professional It is not wrong to assume that most development professionals are passionate about their work. Many are also good writers. But for those who need a little help to communicate their passion clearly in writing, this guide may be helpful. Practically, our content is usually about 800 words long. How to develop your story First, decide what you want to write about (eg: aid flows from the US). You may have a rough idea (American aid isn't having the impact it should have – why?). Try to put that in one line (why US aid is not reaching the people who need it most). Then, put down the points that you want to discuss or highlight (historical bias, corrupt leaders in country, bureaucracy, lack of supervision and follow up, poorly targeted interventions etc). Next, back up those points with links to evidence – numbers, statistics, past evidence or history, case studies or opinions – your own opinion, other opinions, those of your peers or people related to the topic. Keep it simple 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Technology and Young Children Key Messages When used intentionally and appropriately, technology and interactive media are effective tools to support learning and development. Intentional use requires early childhood teachers and administrators to have information and resources regarding the nature of these tools and the implications of their use with children. Limitations on the use of technology and media are important. Special considerations must be given to the use of technology with infants and toddlers. Attention to digital citizenship and equitable access is essential.

Designing #mlearning Book Review – Chapter 2 As I mentioned in a previous blog post, I intend to provide a brief synopsis of each chapter of ‘Designing mlearning‘, but more importantly I intend to answer the questions that Clark poses at the end of each chapter and then pose those same questions back to you ‘Dear Reader‘ Chapter 2 – The Details In this chapter Clark shares a small exercise he undertakes when speaking on the subject of mobile devices, in which he allows people to acknowledge that cell phones, PDAs, iPods are ‘mobile learning devices’. I have to say that I’m surprised that there is anybody left on the surface of the planet that wouldn’t recognise those devices as mobile learning devices and wonder whether that is an exercise that may have lost its impact since the publishing of the book? Some blisteringly high figures are shown as to how many hours a day the average American spend accessing the mobile web (and let’s not forget that these figures are 2-3 years old!!) “we can’t provide mobile devices”

National Education Technology Plan About the National Educational Technology Plan The U.S. Department of Education released the 2024 National Educational Technology Plan (NETP): A Call to Action for Closing the Digital Access, Design and Use Divides. First released in fulfillment of Improving America’s Schools Act of 1994, NETP has been updated multiple times since its original release, most recently in 2016. The Digital Use Divide, addressing opportunities to improve how students use technology to enhance their learning, including dynamic applications of technology to explore, create, and engage in critical analysis of academic content and knowledge; The Digital Design Divide, addressing opportunities for educators to expand their professional learning and build the capacities necessary to design learning experiences enabled by technology; and
Bringing education to young mothers through mobiles | Global Development Professionals Network | Guardian Professional As we celebrate the International day of the girl today, we should take time to remember that young mothers are still girls, too. We need to do what we can to support them in their educational endeavours — even in means considered to be non-traditional. Mobile learning might be one way we can support young mothers when school interruptions occur due to early pregnancy. Here are some of my thoughts which draw upon the Kenyan context. Schooling and early pregnancy in Kenya With a high rate of early pregnancies among women in Kenya, female children in both primary and secondary school are increasingly being affected. Recently, speaking on education reform, cabinet secretary for education, science and technology in Kenya Jacob Kaimenyi drew attention to the difficulties that girls face when they want to return to school after having a baby. Inappropriate use of mobile devices is a common issue around the world among youth. This content is brought to you by Guardian Professional.
Understanding Mobility and its Impact on Learning Mobile Learning | Viewpoint Understanding Mobility and its Impact on Learning Online learning has been around long enough now for educators to understand its benefits and challenges in relation to traditional course delivery. What is Mobile Technology and What Does it Do? Otherwise known as "m-education" or "m-learning," mobile technology is having an effect on instruction. While the immediacy of the technology is understood and embraced for various administrative and communicative purposes, instructors still struggle with the actual benefit to instruction.
