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.

"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.

“Student’s today can’t prepare bark to calculate their problems. They depend on their slates, which are more expensive. What will they do when the slate is dropped and it breaks? They will not be able to write.”

-Teachers Conference, 1703

“Students today depend upon paper too much. They don’t know how to write on slate without getting chalk dust all over themselves. They can’t clean a slate properly. What will they do when they run out of paper?”

-Principal’s Association, 1815

“The Internet is not a great tool for teaching. ..People think that children can think of any topic and pull up a wealth of information on it, but that is not the case.

The information in the library is what people seem to expect, but nobody has the time to transcribe entire libraries onto computers. There is nothing on the Internet that is incredibly beneficial to education.”

-The Monterey County Herald, 1999

“We are not going to allow iPods and BlackBerrys and cell phones and things that are disruptive in the classroom. Classrooms are for learning. Teachers cannot be expected to look under every kid’s desk at what they’re doing.”

-Mayor Michael Bloomberg, 2007

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.

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.

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.

"I know for a fact that when a superintendent in Missouri was interviewing potential teachers last year, he would ask, 'Do you have a Facebook or MySpace page?' " said Todd Fuller, a spokesman for the Missouri State Teachers Association, which is warning members to clean up their pages. "If the candidate said yes, then the superintendent would say, 'I've got my computer up right now. Let's take a look.' "

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.

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

"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."

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.

Taylor’s family argued that students and parents aren't properly educated or warned that what they write online can have consequences in the classroom.

78% report they frequently see other players being kind or helpful to those who are gaming
