Digital Access ScenarioDigital Access Scenario

The students in your GED class have been given the task of watching a 20-minute Discovery Education streaming movie outside of regular class time.

They have one week in which they are to watch the online movie and take the online quiz.


What the Teacher said…

The students have been told that they will receive a “zero” if they do not

watch the movie and take the quiz at home, even though some students do not have Internet access, and some

students who do have Internet access, have a dial-up connection.


The teacher gives the assignment that all students are to view the movie and take the quiz. For students who do not have the appropriate Internet connections at home, he/she offers the opportunity for them to

1. come to the classroom 30 minutes before school starts, or

2. come to the classroom after school, or3. take home a CD with the movie and a printed

quiz so they may complete the assignment.

What SHOULD have happened?

LibraryIpodSmart PhoneFriend’s What else?


What could make a differenceWhat could make a difference

When giving online assignments for students to complete outside of school, it is important to remember that they may not have access to the Internet.

For some this may be an ongoing situation and for others it may be a temporary non-access issue.

Since the Internet is a valuable resource, teachers need to provide alternative ways for the students to access the information in order to complete assignments.

Melissa

Melissa, who recently celebrated her 19th birthday, received an $1000 check from her rich grandmother. She deposited the check in her bank account for which she has a debit card.

Melissa’s home internet connection is temporarily down, so she rode with her older sister to the local public library to use the computer there.

While on the eBay site, she saw that they have just what she wants – a brand new Wii for only $10.00!


What happened…What happened…

Excitedly, Melissa took our her debit card and bid on the item. She had watched her father do this before and knows just what to do.

She wanted to make sure she is the highest bidder so she quickly entered her debit card information and selected $300 as her maximum bid.

She didn’t log off as she left the library computer.


What Do You Think About That?


What She SHOULD Have DoneWhat She SHOULD Have Done

Melissa realized that a new Wii could not possibly sell for $10.00. She looked at other Wii’s that were listed on eBay and saw that the winning bids have averaged around $275.

She really wants the Wii but is uncomfortable putting her debit card information online to purchase something for which she is unsure of the final price.

She logs off the library computer and goes home.



Melissa would do well to go to a store that sells retail Nintendo products such as the Wii. She will know the exact price of the new product she is purchasing plus she will have a receipt in order to return it if it does not work properly.

Her parents and teachers would do well to advise her to be careful where she uses her debit card as that card is the “key” to her checking account funds.

ScenarioScenario

Adult learners at a local school were terrified earlier in the school year when they learned there was an armed intruder on their campus.

Since that incident, almost all of the students at the school now bring cell phones to school in order to be able to contact family in case of any future emergency.


What Happened…What Happened…

The students set their “interesting” ring tones on loud rather than setting the phone to vibrate or turning it off.

Whenever possible, they took the phones out and used them to text messages to their classmates in and out of class.

One student also took unflattering photos of their Adult Ed teacher behind her back and sent them to classmates as well.


The Adult Ed Teacher should have discussed with the students the cell phone issue. She should explain that while she understands their wishes to have their phones with them, they should only to be used for classroom exercises or emergency purposes.

What She Should Have DoneWhat She Should Have Done



All of these students actually have a mini-computer in their possession. How could you use the cell phones as technology tools?

• Students could text grammar exercises to her.

• Students could use the video options to record each other rehearsing presentations and then review the videos to critique themselves.

• Students could use the calculator functions while studying math

• Students could take photos for lessons and projects.

• Technology-fused learning has become more commonplace

• Learning WITH doesn’t always include Learning HOW

• Technology seen as a CLASS as opposed as part of curriculum.

• Teachers need to know how to use technology to stimulate learning.

She entered the ballroom and began to talk to several friends and colleagues. She forgot about the impending phone call.

During the keynote presentation, her cell phone rang, loudly. Everyone began looking in her direction as she struggled to find her phone. Because she was flustered, she began the conversation before she exited the room.

Betty’s StoryBetty’s Story

Betty loves to play games on her computer. She’s constantly downloading games and found a solitaire card game on the Internet that is “shareware.”

It can be legally used for 30 days and then Betty must either delete it from her computer or send its author a fee. Betty has been using the game for 30 days.


What HappenedWhat Happened

After the 30 day trial period, Betty decided that she really liked the game and believed that she’ll just see how much longer the software will run without timing out.



Betty realized that her 30 days were up and decided to purchase the game. She sent a PayPal payment to the creator.

Two weeks later the creator of the game sent her a link to the newest, upgraded version, with more bells and whistles. Whoo hoo!

The attachment is entitled “dancing pigs.” She has had a stressful day and feels that she could use a good laugh. The attachment “dancing pigs” might be funny.

Ms. Perlman opened the e-mail. When she did, her computer started doing crazy things and within a period of five minutes, the computer crashed.

Ms. Perlman immediately ran to the school technology coordinator to tell her that something was wrong with her computer.



Ms. Perlman should have opened the e-mail and realized that she didn’t know the sender. She remembered that she had been advised to not open e-mail attachments from strangers.

Even though the attachment title sounded interesting, she deleted the message without opening the attachment. She continued checking e-mail.
