How Decontextualized Standardized Testing Can Destroy Education http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Net-Gold/message/12784 It is important to use databases which many public libraries provide for those without a connection with a database providing higher education institution. This importance lies in the fact that databases contain a defined information content such as indexing only a specific group of journals and / or popular magazines and thus preventing the advertisements and poor quality hits found in response to many internet search engine searches. Secondly, the searching software of many database providers like EBSCO is complex and allows once learned very precise detailed multi-step searches for the content or subject one is researching. In the above example of a search, all of the specific phrase searches were combined into one step in the final step so that one may see all of the results in a single group. This is a brief sample of the articles found in that last search step. 1. Health Behaviors of School-Age Children: Evidence From One Large City. By: Cartland, Jenifer; Ruch-Ross, Holly S..

I'm sure, given where Apple's interests lie, they won't be following UPnP AV but rather something with better protection for their intellectual property - and in the process will try to kill everything they can't control so that at the end of the day the money ends up in the right pockets. My take: don't get too excited about iTunes or DRM or any announcements about how Apple is going to patent ideas they have ripped off from others.

Re: [DDN] Cell-phone carrying students
Back on topic. It seems to me that the cell phone can be used as a viable educational tool. New ones are coming out with many of the same capabilities that that PDAs and MP3 players have. Most, these days, have cameras that can be used to capture information that can be used in the classroom. The text messaging feature can be used in the same way as an IM to have students work collaboratively and share information to be learned. I can see wonderful potential for the cell phone instructionally if we can think out of the box and work on curriculum development and instructional strategies that include the cell phone in the educational environment (not use the 4 walls we call a classroom).

I've posted a dozen or so blog entries already and a couple of Second Life Machinima (virtual reality cinema videos) here: http://www.andycarvin.com Be sure to read the entry on Eszter Hargittai's talk about her research on how college students use the Internet.

Re: [DDN] Cell-phone carrying students
Can we divide this into two subject lines? Cell-phone carrying students and Cell phone recycling perhaps? While I think the cell phone has tremendous potential as an educational tool, I also think there are other factors affecting cell phone use. In the school where my girlfriend teaches a theatre program, there are rules against cell phone use. The teachers try (with varying levels of strictness) to make students conform to these rules. However, they are rarely successful. Students use cell phones continuously, and are often text messaging or playing games during class, when they are intended to be interacting with instructors and other students. Cellular phones present a discipline issue, because there is no easy way to know if the student is doing something educational or not, or if the activity is appropriate for the classroom or not. Similarly, there seems little way to prevent disrespectful or indisciplined cell phone use, since many schools are having a hard time doing that now, even with complete cell phone bans. So the question isn't the educational uses of the cell phone. We can make a million arguments for how the cell phone could be a pivotal tool in a child's education, and even educators who agree with us will refuse to budge on this. The question that needs to be addressed is not a technology question, but a pedagogical question: how do we instill discipline in the children being educated so that cell phones are used appropriately? I'm sure many educators agree that cell phones may make children safer (note: I got along fine without one during my childhood, and I'm not sure I buy this argument), though some educators might be downplaying this in favor of a cell phone ban. And if children had cell phones in their pockets that they never took out except in an emergency, schools wouldn't have a problem with it. On the other hand, I've seen inner city Chicago public schools where kids could care less about cell phone rules. I've also attended community college classes where a student would answer their phone in class, while the professor was talking, and then get up and walk out while laughing and talking with the friend who'd called, while the professor shut up and waited for the interruption to end before continuing. When I mentioned that at the liberal arts college I had attended previously, if a student had been that rude they would probably have been asked to leave the class permanently, the professor replied that at least this student walked out to finish the conversation...some others simply continue talking at their seats. That's the problem. That level of indiscipline (at the level of indecency / rudeness) is the result of ineffective policies on cell phone use during several years of public schooling. An answer to this has to address the discipline issue involved, not just the positive implications of cell phone possession. I wish I had an answer to the discipline questions...I can only raise them and hope an experienced educator can suggest a solution? Dave. --- Dave A.
