Julie Pyburn commented on the post, Copyright in the Classroom: A Complicated Relationship, on the site Digital Journeys 2 weeks, 1 day ago
I’d agree, it’s disconcerting to find there aren’t hard and fast rules about what is allowed and what isn’t regarding copyright. It would help if individual schools had a policy and if that policy reflected the […]

I’ve just spent 5 days disconnected from the Internet at the wonderful Telunas Beach Resort in the Riau Islands. I was with 40 great 8th grade kids, all computer-less and mobile phone-less, and it was […] -

Julie Pyburn wrote a new post, Does Facebook encourage or discourage bullying?, on the site Pyburn's Ponderings 3 weeks, 1 day ago

Julie Pyburn commented on the post, Re-examining the Remix (Video), on the site COETAIL Online Cohort 2012-2013 3 weeks, 1 day ago
I’m wondering if the copyright laws that Lawrence Lessig is talking about apply to the rest of the world. Are these US or world-wide policies? Are other governments coming up with different policies or are […]

Julie Pyburn commented on the post, The Power of Introverts, on the site Full Court Press 1 month, 1 week ago
What a great TED Talk. I’m sure it will resonate with many teachers, whether they feel they’re introverts or not. We’ve all seen student groups and class discussions taken over by dominant personalities and tried […]

Megan’s comments remind me of an article I read recently in the Jakarta

Coming from the UK, which apparently has the greatest number of CCTV cameras per head of population, I didn’t think I had a problem with being monitored; after all if you’re not doing anything criminal then does […] -
Julie Pyburn wrote a new post, Airbrushing your Digital Footprint, on the site Pyburn's Ponderings 1 month, 2 weeks ago
I think I have to accept that everyone who uses a computer today probably has a digital footprint; but do I like the idea of this seemingly permanent, trackable record? Is it a good thing? – My gut reaction is no […] -
Julie Pyburn wrote a new post, Will WOW save our world?, on the site Pyburn's Ponderings 2 months ago
The speed with which technology is changing the landscape of education, and the world in general, is literally breathtaking. When I think about it I get that familiar breathless treadmill feeling – you’re […]

For my final project I chose to create/adapt a unit, probably lasting for about four weeks, on the topic of film study. Basically in 8th grade English, within a writing workshop unit on writing reviews, the […]

As Sarah says, the value of technology does seem to be a theme running through many blogs. It does seem to be a double edged sword, allowing us to communicate with family and friends thousands of miles away( Skype […]

I can see that the divide between the haves and the have-nots could easily become greater as those with access to technology, and all the skills and information it provides, will thrive. But I can also see that […]

Julie Pyburn commented on the post, It worked!!, on the site Learning in Progress 2 months, 1 week ago
As the students have worked it out for themselves I wonder if they’ll be more likely to remember the steps they had to take. There’s a tendency to think it’ll be quicker if we just tell the students what to do, […]

Julie Pyburn wrote a new post, Is ‘gaming’ the new reading?, on the site Pyburn's Ponderings 2 months, 2 weeks ago
I found myself disagreeing with some of what was being said by Marc Prensky in ‘Shaping Tech for the Classroom’, although I’d agree with the overall premise that 1:1, in some form or other, has to be embraced. I’d […]

I started Saturday heading off to have a root canal ‘done’, only to find it wasn’t necessary, and therefore I had an hour and a half of extra time on my hands. I finally had time to spend with my Google reader and […]

The whole idea of ‘messing around’ is quite interesting. I can see that children have always used ‘messing around’ to learn things they’ve bee really interested in; whether it’s how a bicycle works, or a stream […]
