John Dewey Would Hate Your Digital Citizenship Curriculum – Dr. Kristen Mattson
Excellent blog post. Dewey would remind us that being a citizen means more than just following rules. A citizen is part of a community, and being a citizen of a community means interacting with each other, supporting one another, and working together to make our corner of the world a better place. Isn’t it time for our digital citizenship lessons to start reflecting some of his ideals? @julielindsay - this may interest you #digcit https://t.co/PGmVFITSc2

OPEN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES (OER): A REALITY CHECK | teachonline.ca
Many faculty and instructors have not yet “bought into” the use of OER. They continue to make extensive use of published textbooks and require their students to access proprietary and costly materials. There are four basic reasons for this reluctance: According to a survey by Babson (2014), most faculty and instructors have never heard of OER – it’s a “new thing” about which they know very little. When faculty and instructors look at what materials they require their students to use, they look for a track record of proven use and quality – many OER resources, though seen to be of high quality, do not have the track record of use. In general, faculty and instructors do not take into account the cost of textbooks and related materials when making their course content decisions nor do they look at the total cost of study to the student. It takes time and commitment to search for and find appropriate OER.

Mobile phones in the classroom – what does the research say? - Teacher
n a recent Teacher article, two schools discussed their differing policies on mobile phone use during school hours. Here, we look at a range of studies that have explored the positives and negatives of allowing mobile phones to be used in class. As Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) programs become more widespread, questions are being raised about the benefits of allowing students to actively use mobile phones as learning devices in school. Over the past decade, several studies have taken a closer look at student and educator perspectives on the issue.
