"One thing with the Kindle, though, is that they identify by location in the book. So you could get them to a specific 'page' by telling them to find a location. It is challenging, especially if you had students with special needs, but…"

"I have not seen any of them used in class. We have a teacher piloting the use of the iPad this year and she seems to have the same mixed feelings as you. I just got a Kindle for Christmas, and while I haven't had a lot of time to play with it,…"
Alan Stange replied to Danielle Cripe's discussion Age Limits on 2.0 Tools"When I find it necessary to use an age restricted service with my students I create a class account. The students use this communally under a common profile. Frankly, many of my fourth, fifth, and sixth graders ignore the restrictions with their…"
Christopher Casal replied to Danielle Cripe's discussion Age Limits on 2.0 Tools"So basically you stick to those that don't require them to sign up, those that your school may have an account for, or those that you create a teacher account for so their information isn't shared??
Yup. Again, I'm k-5 so the oldest…"

I agree it is important for them to be…"
Christopher Casal replied to Danielle Cripe's discussion Age Limits on 2.0 Tools"I'm in elementary school so I run in to this problem a lot. In a sense I do feel it holds me back a bit with my 4th and 5th graders, but at the same time I am not sure if they are fully ready to understand the ramifications of creating and…"
"I'm not sure how we can handle the standardized test problem since we all have to follow those guidelines. But, as for testing in the classroom, I think there are many more assessment strategies that show our students' knowledge in a…"
Age Limits on 2.0 Tools
My school is embarking on a pilot program where students are able to bring in their own devices starting in the 3rd quarter grading period. As a staff, we are trying to prep for this process by 'beefing up' our knowledge of 2.0 tools and 21st century learning in general. However, a problem we have stumbled across is the 13-year-old restriction of the COPPA law which restricts companies from collecting information from those under 13. As a 7th/8th grade middle school, most of our 7th graders are…See More
"I think this is a great idea. I also love that it will include the information they provided, not just the information you are providing for them.
Even though note-taking is a valuable skill, in a situation like this, I think it would be beneficial…"
"Awesome! Add that to my list of things to do...
I just think it might be nice to have both so I can connect to more people - students or colleagues."
"I have used Delicious because I haven't gotten into Diigo... but now that I know they can connect, I may explore a little more.
My only question... all of the 'stuff' I have bookmared on Delicious now... can it be transfered to Diigo…"
"I have heard a lot about this idea. We changed our grading scale to a 10 point scale this year. At the 7th grade level, we are definitely seeing more As and Bs because it is easier to get those grades. I don't agree and feel that I have made it…"
"What if you gave it as an option for those who were 13? I had to do this with mine as I still have some 12-year-olds in my 7th grade class."
"I have used Prezi with my 7th graders (those who were 13). Some really struggled with the idea since it's an outside-the- box way of thinking. It's not the traditional PowerPoint (which is why we as teachers love it!). Once they got going,…"
"Doug, that is awesome! We have a mix of Delicious and Diigo users so there is some sharing going on, but not as much as could be happening.
I think if you get people hooked on the same one, it would be easier to share among teachers, between…"
"Well, that's what I thought too. But I wasn't going to be the one going against the grain and getting reprimanded since I still have so many under 13.
Was there a way you got your school on board with the parent approval? I'm hoping…"
