The article was about transforming yourself into a professional who can effectively research technology trends, monitor use of technology in school or district, avoid the fear factor that can easily paralyze you, and empower student-centered learning to create vibrant, exciting learning projects. Students want to use customized tools, such as mobile technology and customized learning environments. We want to involve in student-centered, globally connected projects, each student’s learning experiences becomes different, and each classroom becomes as unique as students and teachers who learn there. There are rules for being a good digital citizen. We need to monitor and be engaged to share experiences in a focused and monitored environment. We need to lead by example and don’t let students cross the line while in the digital world. The scariest part about this is the begging. You start out alone and collaborate with others who did this and learn from them. Some Flat classroom projects are Net Generation Education, Digiteen, Digiparents, and Eracism. We should not be scared out technology we should embrace it.
What happens if student crosses the line?
The teacher will report the student and the student will apologize to the educational network. Depending on how bad it is they can be suspended from the network. It is rare to ban students there has been 10 out of 3000.
How safe is this?
The educational network watches the network and monitors it for 24 hours a day. They also will monitor and take off anything that is not acceptable.
