Engaging students in the media design and production process themselves is far more important than focusing on the ways in which media is designed for their consumption, as Kadle emphasizes. I would argue that engaging students in interactive media design, particularly game design, is the key to helping them achieve a useful 21st Century education that teaches them concrete skills as well as how to be innovative thinkers.

How young do we have to teach kids about plagiarism these days? And is it supremely important in this world today? Yes and no. On one hand the world decides what can be counted as plagiarism and what cannot. On the other hand, ONCE AGAIN, almost everything is game for accusations of plagiarism. I think even a children’s novel these days is as vulnerable to this as is something as huge as a movie or a piece of music. I’ll just end this scoop.it with a question... What are your thoughts on how the worlds works with copyrights and plagiarism?

I have been using these tools with my students in order to improve their speaking. I give them an English text and they have to record it during the week (It's a weekly activity). After that they bring the mp3 file to class and I correct it and they receive feedback. Later, the original audio of the text is given to them and they study to record again. They really enjoy it !!!

First, it is forward looking, drawing on present trends toward the convergence of radio, television, Internet, newspapers, books, digital archives and libraries into one platform – thereby, for the first time, presenting MIL in a holistic manner. Second, it is specifically designed with teachers in mind and for integration into the formal teacher education system, thus launching a catalytic process which should reach and build capacities of millions of young people.”

Scott McLeod share three shifts he believes need to be implemented by schools:
* Move from lower-level thinking to higher-level thinking (often called Lower Order Thinking and Higher Order Thinking or LOTS and HOTS)
* Move from analog to digital
* Move from teacher directed to student directed.
In his post he provides a short description of each and asks where you would put your school. This post would be a great tool for a faculty discussion on these issues? Are teachers in your building aware that these discussions are taking place in the field of education? How many teachers might feel threatened by the idea of student-directed learning? There is food for thought in this post.
