45. Research on cell phones in learning says… "The proportions of textisms that kids used in their sentence translations was positively linked to verbal reasoning; the more textspeak kids used, the higher their test scores” 2) "The younger the age at which the kids had received mobile phones, the better their ability to read words and identify patterns of sound in speech.” http://www.britac.ac.uk/news/news.cfm/newsid/14
46. PBS: Ready to Learn Study Parent’s cell phones loaded with literacy software Parents living at or below poverty line Findings: Participants found the intervention to be a positive experience, especially for their children. They reacted enthusiastically to receiving early literacy content via cell phone. Most importantly, participants reported that their children enjoyed and benefited from the program. Child participants, for the most part, were eager and excited to view the letter video clips. They frequently requested to view the videos. Some parents reported that each time the phone rang, their children came running, hoping the call was from Elmo.
47. Research on Video Games in learning says… Games teach skills that employers want: analytical thinking, team building, multitasking and problem-solving under duress. Unlike humans, the games never lose patience. Simulation and adventure games - such as Sim City and RollerCoaster Tycoon, where players create societies or build theme parks, developed children's strategic thinking and planning skills. Doctors who spent at least three hours a week playing video games made about 37% fewer mistakes in laparoscopic surgery and performed the task 27% faster than their counterparts who did not play video games.

58. Life Consequences Students are sometimes “sexting” to friends for their entertainment value, as a joke or for fun." Six teens face child porn (13 to 15) charges after being caught "sexting" each other. Criminal Charge! IN PA, 3 girls (12, 12, 16) charged with child pornography for sexing. Picture of them in bras. 15% of teenagers have risqué photos of themselves or their friends on their cell phones. 1 in 5 sext recipients report that they have passed the images along to someone else http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/bestoftv/2009/01/15/pn.sexting.teens.cnn
59. "If you take a picture, you can be accused of producing child pornography; if you send it to somebody, you can be accused of distributing child pornography; and if you keep a picture, you can be accused of possessing child pornography. Anywhere along this chain of transmission of the images, you can be charged as a registered sex offender." -Parry Aftab, an Internet privacy and security lawyer.
61. Underage On Facebook 750,000 kids between the ages of 8 and 12 have set up a profile on the big social-networking sites http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/technology/article709704.ece
62. Student’s Lack of concern over privacy and permanent record Research shows that issues of privacy and safety are not at the forefront of younger users' minds. 41% of children aged 8 to 17 who had a visible profile had them set so they were open and accessible to anyone. (Office of Communications in GB) Younger adults and children are much more likely to share sensitive information After weeks of butting heads with his coaches, Taylor, 17, logged on to Facebook from home Jan. 3. He typed his frustrations for the online world to see: "I'ma kill em all. I'ma bust this (expletive) up from the inside like nobody's ever done before.” (USA Today, Jan 2010) Taylor's profile was public, so there were no restrictions on who could view it.

65. Current Banning Structures are NOT working Students still “cheating”, “Off-task”, or “inappropriately” using cell phones in schools Students still bring them to schools and use them when told not to. Students still do not understand consequences of their social media use Students have no idea how to use mobile phones or social media in future job force!
68. 2007: Middle School Principal’s Journey “Last year the school ran out of calculators needed for a math exam, So I let a student use the calculator function on his cell phone. The student was excited to use a phone instead of a calculator. I found 19 of my 22 students had phones.” -Kipp Rogers, Principal at Passages Middle School in Virginia
69. Mary Passage Middle School Cell Phone Policy 1. Students will talk on their cell phone only to complete assignments that are related to the instructional lesson. 2. Students will keep cell phones turned off or left in lockers when they are not being used for instructional purposes in class. 3. Students will only send text- messages, pictures or video- messages to others outside of the classroom with permission and directions from the teacher. 4. Students will not record still or moving images or voices of students or the teacher without permission from the teacher. 5. Students will not post recordings of still or moving images or voice recordings of students or the teacher to online websites without their permission. 6. Students will practice internet safety with online resources. 7. Students will post only appropriate text, audio and visual media to on-line websites. I _____________________ understand that violation of our class acceptable cell phone use policy may result in my not being able to participate in additional class activities that involve using the cell phone. I also understand that I may receive disciplinary consequences for violating school board policies regarding cyber-bullying. I _______________________ have gone over the Cell Phones in Class Acceptable Use Policy with my child and agree to allow my child to participate.
70. Addressing: Safety & Access Dr. Kipp Rogers Says… "For the most part, the kids respect the rules. I never had any problems with kids using them inappropriately in my class. We spent a lot of time talking about their digital footprint and that what they do can be tracked.” He said he initially worried about "the haves and have nots," but students work in teams for most assignments requiring cell phones, so there is always at least one phone among the group.
71. Teacher’s Reactions Teachers said participation is up and discipline problems are down in classes using cell phones. Rogers is looking for ways to expand the phones' uses. "It's fighting a losing battle to ask them to leave them at home.” Learn more from Dr. Rogers: http://passage.nn.k12.va.us/
72. Student’s Reaction Sixth-grader Cassie Garn said her English teacher uses cell phones for several exercises. "This is more interesting and people pay attention," she said. "It's fun. It beats writing stuff down and everybody likes to try to be first." “My teacher roams the room to make sure students are sending answers and not texts to friends.” "It's all related to work," Garn said. "We're not texting other people."

111. Getting Started: Hints and tips Set up a special class Facebook Profile (separate from your personal space), Fan Pages are also a good option Let them know how having a positive FB profile can help them in the future (digital footprints) Tell students that you are required by law to report them. Ask them to clean up profiles Take down inappropriate picts or videos or posts Focus on positive posts and images (ie church groups, volunteer activities, after school jobs) Profile pict should be clean (okay for Grandma to see) Avoid “friends” they don’t know in person Ask friends to de-tag them in inappropriate pictures Ask students to “Friend” your profile You can also have students set up a separate account just for class
113. Guitar Hero Virtual Battle of the Bands Collaboration Project http://olliebray.typepad.com/olliebraycom/2008/06/mgs-guitar-hero.html
114. 2009: the Sacred Heart Senior National School in Ireland decided to use Nintendo DS gaming devices as and aid to teaching math. 3 classes spent 15 minutes a day using two games, Math Training and Brain Training. In 6th grade, relative to their peers, the Nintendo group scored substantially better. Gains were “obvious and significant”. In 5th grade, the average gain in the experimental group was 6 percentile points higher than in the control group. In 4th grade, almost every pupil in the Nintendo group improved their score in comparison with last year – the average increase was more than 10 percentile points. The children who made the greatest gains were those who had been using the game both in school and at home.
115. Wii in physics class "Project Surf.” Use: Wii Homerun Derby (from Wii Sports) First, a video clip from "Science of Summer" is shown in which we discuss the force of a pitch as it hits the catcher's glove. The Wii is used to have students try to hit pitches (using homerun derby game) The purpose is to show just how fast pitches come in and how a batter's timing needs to be perfect. Students take data in the excel-to-go program on our palm pilots. Students record the time of each pitch and then deduce how to find the velocity, acceleration, force, momentum, and work of the pitch. The unit culminates in May when they attend an Atlantic City Surf game. Students time pitches and enter data in the palm pilots for a pitch-by-pitch analysis of a few innings of the game.

124. In Cyberspace… Don’t assume anything you send or post is going to remain private. There is no changing your mind in cyberspace—anything you send or post will never truly go away. Don’t give in to the pressure to do something that makes you uncomfortable, even in cyberspace. Consider the recipient’s reaction. Nothing is truly anonymous.
125. Your Media is NEVER deleted! Cambridge researchers posted pictures to sixteen websites, noting the direct URL to the image, and then deleted the original. They reopened the URLs over a period of 30 days to see whether the pictures were accessible and found that images were still visible on five sites at the end of that month. This is possible because the files remain in photo server caches of the underlying content delivery network (CDN) after they have been cleared from indices that provide data for dynamic pages (such as profiles) and search results. The terms of service for these sites indicate that deletion may not be immediate, with Facebook likening the process to putting a file in the Recycle Bin. http://emergingtechnologies.becta.org.uk/index.php?section=etn&rid=14632
126. Way Back Machine Social networks have been used to post content to embarrass or intimidate students, so it is important for learners to understand that the consequences of such actions may last even longer than they expected. Not only may content remain in caches and backups, but it can be copied to third party sites or be captured in archives without your knowledge or permission, such as the Wayback Machine.
131. Of those hiring managers who have screened job candidates via social networking profiles, one-third (34%) reported they found content that caused them to dismiss the candidate from consideration.
132. Specific Reasons for NOT hiring based on Digital Footprint found 40% - candidate posted provocative or inappropriate photographs or information 29% - candidate had poor communication skills 28% - candidate bad-mouthed their previous company or fellow employee 22% - candidate’s screen name was unprofessional
133. The POSTIVE side of Digital Footprints! On the other hand, social networking profiles gave some job seekers an edge over the competition. 24% of hiring managers who researched job candidates via social networking sites said they found content that helped to solidify their decision to hire the candidate.

135. Prosecutors Search Social Networking Sites! Prosecutors use Facebook, MySpace photos Students who made light of drinking received jail sentences for DUI Defense attorneys also use social networking sites to dig up dirt on witnesses PROVIDENCE, Rhode Island (AP) -- Two weeks after Joshua Lipton was charged in a drunken driving crash that seriously injured a woman, the 20-year-old college junior attended a Halloween party dressed as a prisoner. Pictures from the party showed him in a black-and-white striped shirt and an orange jumpsuit labeled "Jail Bird.” http://74.125.93.132/search?q=cache:SgDbAA0gzEoJ:freedom-school.com/reading-room/unrepentant-on-facebook-expect-jail-time.pdf+Unrepentent+on+Facebook&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=firefox-a
136. What is YOUR digital footprint? http://dsc.discovery.com/convergence/koppel/interactive/interactive.html
137. Clean Up Social Networking Site 1. Take control of your photos. Your personal and professional life are becoming one, largely due to Facebook. Go through what you have on your social network & untag yourself in photos that an employer might find inappropriate. 2. Set privacy settings. You have less reason to worry if employers can’t access your digital life. 3. Post photos that promote you as a professional. If you have photos from volunteering, studying abroad, working a job, giving a presentation, or any other semi-professional event, post them. They go a long way to help counteract other photos that might negatively impact your image. 4. Put up a clean profile photo of yourself. Even if you got a lot of compliments on your stripper Halloween costume, a profile picture that isn’t associated raucous college partying means a lot to people in hiring positions. 5) Stay active online. By commenting on blogs and forums, updating your profiles, and even creating your own site you can become much more visible and credible online. This gives the people who search you a much more comprehensive picture of who you are and allows you to highlight the good and bury the bad 6. Be mindful of who you accept as a “Friend.” Poor choices could reflect badly on you as a professional. Make sure to monitor their comments on your sites as well.

158. Student’s Say… "The whole having to hide the cell phone is really why so many students are not able to pay attention. If we were allowed our cell phones as we work, we would pay a lot more attention, since we don't have to keep glancing down at the cell phone we are currently hiding under a table. I am able to avoid the whole messaging thing during school, but if they allowed it I have the feeling my grades would go higher, and my learning would improve” -Thomas, high school student
(Minksy, 1988 p. 102).I interpret Papert to mean that the key to learning new ideas or tools is often in teaching students how to redefine what they already know.
