Class Struggle - When teachers reject the Internet

I found this article very interesting. I'm running into the opposite problem this year. Though I have lost the ability to post my grades online, I do have a class website, calendar, wiki and use edmodo to communicate with students and families. Even though I have all of this, my students do not voluntarily look at any of the available resources (except edmodo) and my emails to parents now always include links to the resources I've created. I've encountered a couple of parents this year who don't want to look for the information themselves; they want me to send it to them in a personal email.

Posted from Diigo. The rest of my favorite links are here.

Another Tag Cloud

This tag cloud is based on a writing prompt asking students to identify the most significant technological innovation in human history. The essays were pretty interesting and clearly reflect the times (i.e. the idea that it would be nearly impossible to conduct daily business without computers and the internet). I have to wonder what I would have written when I was 15. Perhaps it would have been the Sony Walkman (the one that played cassette tapes, not the one that plays CDs).
