Post Discussion: Technology and Bullying
Students of the Digital Age want to use technology in all aspects of their lives because they are familiar with it and understand it. This can be incorporated into daily educational tasks -- however, there should be some cautionary factors in place. Some cautionary factors can be positive while others can be negative. One way to include digital media would be to open a learning environment that is less rigid than the traditional "brick and mortar school" concept -- that allows students to manage their time on their own, so long as they complete assignments using the various multi-sensory media available to them (Koonce, 2016, p. 249). While this would be a good, positive factor, one negative factor is that there has been almost no data compiled as to how this would work in a real world scenario -- and the need for quality controls would impair the project's effectiveness (Koonce, 2016, p. 249). At the same time that digital technology can be used to involve students more fully in the educative process, there are warnings from academics that this should not come at the expense of traditional core studies (Koonce, 2016, p. 261). Thus, the exchange has to be worked...
As Brody (2015) notes "screen addiction is taking a toll on children" and this means that too much screen time at too early an age can actually frustrate the development process in terms of the whole-child being educated rather than just a particular function.
One way around this issue may be to have learning stations, where digital media could be used for assigned tasks or at assigned times -- and in this way "on-task behavior" could be promoted (Rollins, 2014, p. 110). This could help to ensure that digital time is monitored and quality controlled but also that it is utilized to enhance the educative process.
One other area of concern associated with digital use is the issue of cyber-bullying. Educators should attempt to effectively deal with all types of bullying by adopting a zero tolerance policy towards it. This means that…

New media can seem threatening at first, as it signals deep and meaningful changes in the ways information is created and shared in the society. In "Mind Over Mass Media," Steven Pinker (2010) argues that new technologies are typically perceived as threatening until they become commonplace. Early hysteria and fear about new media soon subsides, as the actual effects of the new media are not as adverse as was initially
Digital Knowledge and the Human Art of Thinking Digital Knowledge, New Horizons for the Human Art of Thinking, and Creating Knowledge Digital technology has introduced people to new paradigms of thinking and creativity necessary to make use of this elaborate technology. In the past, the limited technology environment reinforced a linear approach to education and thinking dictated by the use of books and expected to work in digital settings in much the
Technology: The Silent Killer Introduction In the relentless march of technological advancement, we have become engrossed in a world where devices and digital screens dominate our daily lives. While technology has undeniably enriched our lives in many ways, it is equally important to acknowledge its pernicious impact on our physical and mental well-being. From the sedentary lifestyles it promotes to the constant bombardment of information it provides, technology is taking a toll on
young people faced (particular adolescents in high school) were pimples, pregnancy, grades and parental over-protection. There were also mean-spirited rumors that were spread, there were cliques and pecking orders, and there was bullying as well. But in the 21st century, with the power of digital technologies, those mean-spirited rumors -- and bullying practices -- have transitioned into video and still photography scenarios that can be sent at the speed
Education Administrator Standards National Educational Technology Standards for Administrators (NETS*A) The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) designed a set of standards by which they believe that students, teachers and administrators can better move forward in the digital age. The administrator standards provide a means for school and district executive staff to guide their progress as electronic technology becomes even more engrained in society and institutions of learning. The ISTE
Media I believe that the media exerts tremendous power on people. I certainly subscribe to McLuhan's view that media allows humans to perceive the world differently. The world in which we live is rich with media, and most of our interactions with the world are today governed by some form of media. In McLuhan's day it was television, radio, newspapers, and telephones. Today, those are one device, and we might have
