Teach them the skills they need in the real world, with tools they use every day. That's exactly what Esther Wojcicki, a teacher of English and journalism at Palo Alto High School, is attempting to do with the recent launch of the website \u003ca href=\"http://21stcenturylit.org\">21STCenturyLit\u003c/a>. I interviewed Esther about the site, and how she hopes it will serve as a useful tool for both students and educators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>- How do you describe the mission for \u003ca href=\"http://21stcenturylit.org\">21STcenturylit\u003c/a>?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mission of 21STcenturylit.org is three fold: it is to teach students how to be intelligent consumers of digital media, to teach students how to be skillful creators of digital media, and to teach students how to search intelligently. We are living in an age when digital media and new digital tools are revolutionizing the world. Schools need to help student learn these skills, not block and censor the Internet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>- Why is this important right now?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We need to make school more relevant to the world we live in to combat the huge dropout problem we face. We also need to train kids to have the skills needed in the digital world. They need to know how to communicate using multiple media; they need to know how to read and write for the web; they need to know how to use social media for things other than checking on their friends. Schools should be teaching this; businesses want to hire kids with these skills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 40 percent of high school students nationwide drop out of school. While there are many reasons why kids drop out including economic factors, lack of reading skills, one of the main reasons cited is that they find school irrelevant, boring, and punitive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We as a nation also have a critical need for trained IT workers that is not being met by our educational system. If students learn to use digital media in school and go on to computer science courses, it will provide good jobs for them and fill an important need for our country. Right now we are getting IT workers from other countries and kids are not getting the training they need in schools.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How do you think the work of a journalist mirrors that of a media consumer (newspaper reader, web user, etc.)? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The skills of a journalist mirror those of today’s media consumer which is why news literacy is a critical skill for all students. Like journalists, students today are gathering information; however, unlike journalists they do not have the skills for analyzing it, or writing about it. They should be taught these skills in school; we need to teach kids how to critically examine their research and make intelligent decisions about it. We need to teach them how to write for the web so they can feed empowered to participate. Many kids are connected to their Facebook account and their phone, but they do not comment on blogs or even write blogs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How is this being received by the education community? How are you getting the word out, and how many educators so far have come upon this site?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most teachers are interested in teaching these skills; however, many don’t feel that they have the necessary skills themselves. Teachers need time to learn these skills through professional development. They need time to learn how they can modify their teaching to incorporate the teaching of digital skills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_6277\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 140px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-6277\" title=\"EstherWojcicki\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2011/01/EstherWojcicki-140x140.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"140\" height=\"140\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Esther Wojcicki\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>For example, English teachers need to teach students how to collaborate online with their writing projects. Just using the web to collaborate helps student understand what is happening in businesses. Instead of writing a paper, printing it out and turning it in, kids can turn the paper in online and peer-edit their work online before turning it in. One of the most widely used collaboration tools is Google Docs, a free online word processing program. In using this method, students learn more than just how to write a paper; they learn how to use digital tools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students should also learn to blog. At the moment, many schools block blogging because they are worried kids will access ‘inappropriate’ blogs. How is this teaching kids about the real world?\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">We need to make school more relevant to the world we live in to combat the huge dropout problem we face. We also need to train kids to have the skills needed in the digital world.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Students can be asked, for example, to do research on health care in America and compare it to health care in other parts of the world. Just doing the research is exciting for students but most of them do not know how to analyze their results. They need to be taught. For example, who created the website, what are their political objectives, how objective is the information. Administrators need to help teachers who in turn help students learn how to analyze their result, not block the web. In too many schools today, the web is blocked!! Yes, blocked. Schools use special censoring services that ensure that kids will never find anything ‘objectionable.’ How is this teaching about the real world when they are never allowed to access the real world, except at home. Schools are making themselves irrelevant by failing to teach kids about the world we live in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>- What's your hope with this site?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I'm hoping that this site will provide teachers several lesson plans that will help them teach students a) how to search effectively b) how to analyze their search results c) how to differentiate between fact and opinion d) how to write for the web. I have lesson plans to teach how to write a personality feature, how to write a news story, how to write reviews of movies, games, books, websites. There are also lesson plans of how to understand copyright and how to use Creative Commons licenses to modify copyright so students can learn to share and remix legally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How are educators accessing these kinds of excellent resources online? Do you believe there's a good system in place to let them know, or do you think it's still quite fragmented and decentralized?\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The system is still quite fragmented and decentralized. There are many sites and many entrepreneurs trying to create materials for teachers but one of the main problems is finding these resources. If the user doesn’t know the key words, then they won’t find them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What solution do you think might work for creating a central repository of sorts? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I am working with a group of universities who are looking at ways to optimize the finding of \u003ca href=\"http://www.oercommons.org/\">Open Educational Resources\u003c/a>. Hopefully, this will happen in 2011 but until then teachers need to know the address of the site or the key words to find the materials.\u003c/p>\n\n",

That's exactly what Esther Wojcicki, a teacher of English and journalism at Palo Alto High School, is attempting to do with the recent launch of the website \u003ca href=\"http://21stcenturylit.org\">21STCenturyLit\u003c/a>.

We are living in an age when digital media and new digital tools are revolutionizing the world. Schools need to help student learn these skills, not block and censor the Internet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>- Why is this important right now?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

We also need to train kids to have the skills needed in the digital world. They need to know how to communicate using multiple media; they need to know how to read and write for the web; they need to know how to use social media for things other than checking on their friends. Schools should be teaching this; businesses want to hire kids with these skills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 40 percent of high school students nationwide drop out of school. While there are many reasons why kids drop out including economic factors, lack of reading skills, one of the main reasons cited is that they find school irrelevant, boring, and punitive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We as a nation also have a critical need for trained IT workers that is not being met by our educational system. If students learn to use digital media in school and go on to computer science courses, it will provide good jobs for them and fill an important need for our country. Right now we are getting IT workers from other countries and kids are not getting the training they need in schools.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How do you think the work of a journalist mirrors that of a media consumer (newspaper reader, web user, etc.)? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The skills of a journalist mirror those of today’s media consumer which is why news literacy is a critical skill for all students. Like journalists, students today are gathering information; however, unlike journalists they do not have the skills for analyzing it, or writing about it. They should be taught these skills in school; we need to teach kids how to critically examine their research and make intelligent decisions about it. We need to teach them how to write for the web so they can feed empowered to participate. Many kids are connected to their Facebook account and their phone, but they do not comment on blogs or even write blogs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How is this being received by the education community? How are you getting the word out, and how many educators so far have come upon this site?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most teachers are interested in teaching these skills; however, many don’t feel that they have the necessary skills themselves. Teachers need time to learn these skills through professional development. They need time to learn how they can modify their teaching to incorporate the teaching of digital skills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_6277\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 140px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-6277\" title=\"EstherWojcicki\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2011/01/EstherWojcicki-140x140.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"140\" height=\"140\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Esther Wojcicki\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>For example, English teachers need to teach students how to collaborate online with their writing projects. Just using the web to collaborate helps student understand what is happening in businesses. Instead of writing a paper, printing it out and turning it in, kids can turn the paper in online and peer-edit their work online before turning it in. One of the most widely used collaboration tools is Google Docs, a free online word processing program. In using this method, students learn more than just how to write a paper; they learn how to use digital tools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students should also learn to blog. At the moment, many schools block blogging because they are worried kids will access ‘inappropriate’ blogs. How is this teaching kids about the real world?\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">We need to make school more relevant to the world we live in to combat the huge dropout problem we face. We also need to train kids to have the skills needed in the digital world.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Students can be asked, for example, to do research on health care in America and compare it to health care in other parts of the world. Just doing the research is exciting for students but most of them do not know how to analyze their results. They need to be taught. For example, who created the website, what are their political objectives, how objective is the information. Administrators need to help teachers who in turn help students learn how to analyze their result, not block the web. In too many schools today, the web is blocked!! Yes, blocked. Schools use special censoring services that ensure that kids will never find anything ‘objectionable.’ How is this teaching about the real world when they are never allowed to access the real world, except at home. Schools are making themselves irrelevant by failing to teach kids about the world we live in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>- What's your hope with this site?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I'm hoping that this site will provide teachers several lesson plans that will help them teach students a) how to search effectively b) how to analyze their search results c) how to differentiate between fact and opinion d) how to write for the web. I have lesson plans to teach how to write a personality feature, how to write a news story, how to write reviews of movies, games, books, websites. There are also lesson plans of how to understand copyright and how to use Creative Commons licenses to modify copyright so students can learn to share and remix legally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How are educators accessing these kinds of excellent resources online? Do you believe there's a good system in place to let them know, or do you think it's still quite fragmented and decentralized?\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The system is still quite fragmented and decentralized. There are many sites and many entrepreneurs trying to create materials for teachers but one of the main problems is finding these resources.

But we discovered that the unique affordances of the mobile device is actually going to shift how technology is used in educational settings. This breakthrough has potential to address long standing concerns with young children using media. 1) The average session is short - this calls for a different kind of application. Kids probably aren't going to watch a 30-minute show on a phone or spend an hour playing a game like they might on a computer or video game console. This may help to allay concerns of too much screen time for kids. 2) The touch screen allows for more active involvement. This can help to address concerns of passive learning (like watching a show).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Should parents feel guilty about allowing their kids to use their mobile phones for games? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No. Kids see their parents using mobile phones all the time. It is only natural for them to want to use them too. And from the data in our study it looks like many parents are letting their children use them responsibly - with restrictions and in moderation. We recommend a balanced media diet that consists of content that is fun, educational, and doesn't take up too much time in a given day. \u003cimg title=\"More...\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wordpress/img/trans.gif\" alt=\"\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However there is reason to worry that such vigilance will erode over time and we would be quite concerned if young children, especially preschoolers began to dramatically increase their mobile screen time.\u003cbr>\n\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Based on the design principles the study lists, are there any mobile apps you'd recommend to parents now, even if they're not fully \"there\" yet? The study mentions \u003ca href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/martha-speaks-dog-party/id343675996?mt=8\" target=\"_blank\">Martha Speaks\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/super-why/id357422351?mt=8\">Superwhy\u003c/a>, but any others that might not be PBS-related?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are dozens of fun and educational new app's for elementary age children. Two that we have looked at closely are \u003ca href=\"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/project-noah/id351012414?mt=8\">Project NOAH\u003c/a>, a citizen science app that allows children to collect real time data on their favorite animals, flowers and other organisms. A second one is \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/2010/10/motion-math-app-for-kids/\">Motion Math\u003c/a>, which teaches fractions to children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Were you surprised at the finding in the study that \"there is reason to believe that children currently may not play with an app for long enough to learn much\"?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not surprising at all. Researchers and designers are just at the beginning of their work on mobile apps and there isn't yet an established \"mobile theory of learning.\" The shortened sessions we observed will probably be an important factor for designing educational apps. It's especially not surprising when you think about the context that children are most often playing with apps - in the car and on the go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are the most important factors of a great educational app?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At least for right now, mobile apps are meant as supplemental and informal - so make it fun! We also value the intergenerational potential for the apps to help start rich conversations among adults and their children. They should be based on pedagogy and we should continue to do more research in the area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why is adaptive technology important in these apps? Are you seeing any encouraging products in the market that truly qualify as such?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">The shortened sessions we observed will probably be an important factor for designing educational apps.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Students learn and progress at different paces. It is important to be able to target specific skills at an individual level. Adaptive technology makes it easier to pinpoint those specific skills and also monitor individual student progress. Thus, adaptive technology is often seen in relation to assessment measures. The leader in creating adaptive mobile learning tools in classrooms for young children is \u003ca href=\"http://www.wgen.net\">Wireless Generation\u003c/a>. Another group well worth watching is the work of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.innovationsforlearning.org/about_teachermate.php\">Teacher Mate technology\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How can parents differentiate between legitimate educational apps and those that just claim they are?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is a significant gap in this rapidly emerging field, and one of the main recommendations that our report makes: App developers’ claims of educational impact are largely unsubstantiated and should be based on specific evidence. Parents need more information from consumer groups and educators on how mobile devices can and should be used as learning tools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1) Go to trusted sources--groups such as \u003ca href=\"http://www.commonsensemedia.org\" target=\"_blank\">Common Sense Media\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://childrenstech.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Children's Technology Review\u003c/a> are establishing criteria to judge just how effective, age appropriate and well-designed apps are.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2) Most products that have research backing the content will have those research studies available on their website.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How can the educational community make sure that kids from under-served communities have the same access to these educational materials?\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We know that the average smart phone buyer - at least for iphones - is skewed towards higher income individuals. But reports still show that more lower income families own a new smart phone than a new computer. Smart phones are cheaper. Perhaps smart phones are a good way to start bridging that gap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ideally, these devices will begin to get integrated into the education system through public funding and other grants, taking the expense away from the consumer. However, at this point examples of such are few and far between.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The leader in creating adaptive mobile learning tools in classrooms for young children is \u003ca href=\"http://www.wgen.net\">Wireless Generation\u003c/a>. Another group well worth watching is the work of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.innovationsforlearning.org/about_teachermate.php\">Teacher Mate technology\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How can parents differentiate between legitimate educational apps and those that just claim they are?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is a significant gap in this rapidly emerging field, and one of the main recommendations that our report makes: App developers’ claims of educational impact are largely unsubstantiated and should be based on specific evidence. Parents need more information from consumer groups and educators on how mobile devices can and should be used as learning tools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1) Go to trusted sources--groups such as \u003ca href=\"http://www.commonsensemedia.org\" target=\"_blank\">Common Sense Media\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://childrenstech.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Children's Technology Review\u003c/a> are establishing criteria to judge just how effective, age appropriate and well-designed apps are.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2) Most products that have research backing the content will have those research studies available on their website.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How can the educational community make sure that kids from under-served communities have the same access to these educational materials?\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We know that the average smart phone buyer - at least for iphones - is skewed towards higher income individuals. But reports still show that more lower income families own a new smart phone than a new computer. Smart phones are cheaper.
