Before COVID-19, Nevada was already trying to get every student outfitted with \u003ca href=\"https://ccsd.net/district/mobile-device-initiatives/\">tablets\u003c/a> and cellular hotspots. And due to the pandemic, CARES Act money is fast tracking that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So when McDermitt reopened Sept. 8 initially for distance education, Molina ditched those dreaded paper packets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We spent that week troubleshooting a lot of technology and calling and hounding parents and students,\" Molina says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says some of her kids had to be reminded that, unlike in the spring, online attendance was not optional and work had to be turned in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Opportunity out of crisis\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, it's widely held that hot spots aren't a long-term solution for rural learning, especially since cell service can be spotty, if sometimes non-existent in more rugged areas of the West in particular.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rural leaders have been lobbying Congress for \u003ca href=\"https://www.nexttv.com/news/senators-collins-jones-propose-5-billion-plan-for-rural-broadband-buildout\">a big public works project\u003c/a> to build out broadband here, much like when the government paid to bring electricity to rural areas during another crisis, the Great Depression.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Honestly, the challenge is bringing about some good, it really is,\" says Jojo Myers Campos, Nevada's broadband development manager.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Myers Campos has been helping spearhead more Internet connectivity in urban and rural areas of the state, including the ambitious plans to issue every student a Chromebook and hotspot. She hopes the pandemic makes people realize that fast Internet should be a right, not a privilege.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I wish that every single time a big project was done, you had to put in conduit and fiber in the ground,\" Myers Campos says. \"Just like you do water and sewer, just like you do gas, just like you do electricity.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in Idaho, CARES Act funds are also being tapped to build out rural broadband connections. But Mandi Boren recently learned that the fiber wasn't going to reach her remote ranch by a year-end deadline. So for now, she's just hoping her kids' school — the Bruneau Grandview district — can stay in-person so long as it's safe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It makes you appreciate your teachers a whole lot more,\" Boren says. \"I always appreciated them, but just [for me ] to have to do four grades as one person, that's tough.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2020 NPR.

Most live on the Fort McDermitt Reservation and about 75% have no Internet access at home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Plus, we're also so extremely rural,\" Molina says. \"We're 80 miles from a WalMart.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Molina, when a fifth of tribal members tested positive for coronavirus over the summer, the school decided to start back this month virtually, at least for the first couple weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But they've had time to plan. Before COVID-19, Nevada was already trying to get every student outfitted with \u003ca href=\"https://ccsd.net/district/mobile-device-initiatives/\">tablets\u003c/a> and cellular hotspots. And due to the pandemic, CARES Act money is fast tracking that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So when McDermitt reopened Sept. 8 initially for distance education, Molina ditched those dreaded paper packets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We spent that week troubleshooting a lot of technology and calling and hounding parents and students,\" Molina says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says some of her kids had to be reminded that, unlike in the spring, online attendance was not optional and work had to be turned in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Opportunity out of crisis\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, it's widely held that hot spots aren't a long-term solution for rural learning, especially since cell service can be spotty, if sometimes non-existent in more rugged areas of the West in particular.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rural leaders have been lobbying Congress for \u003ca href=\"https://www.nexttv.com/news/senators-collins-jones-propose-5-billion-plan-for-rural-broadband-buildout\">a big public works project\u003c/a> to build out broadband here, much like when the government paid to bring electricity to rural areas during another crisis, the Great Depression.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Honestly, the challenge is bringing about some good, it really is,\" says Jojo Myers Campos, Nevada's broadband development manager.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Myers Campos has been helping spearhead more Internet connectivity in urban and rural areas of the state, including the ambitious plans to issue every student a Chromebook and hotspot. She hopes the pandemic makes people realize that fast Internet should be a right, not a privilege.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I wish that every single time a big project was done, you had to put in conduit and fiber in the ground,\" Myers Campos says. \"Just like you do water and sewer, just like you do gas, just like you do electricity.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in Idaho, CARES Act funds are also being tapped to build out rural broadband connections. But Mandi Boren recently learned that the fiber wasn't going to reach her remote ranch by a year-end deadline. So for now, she's just hoping her kids' school — the Bruneau Grandview district — can stay in-person so long as it's safe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It makes you appreciate your teachers a whole lot more,\" Boren says. \"I always appreciated them, but just [for me ] to have to do four grades as one person, that's tough.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2020 NPR.

Plain text is easier to access and requires less data (therefore, less money), so consolidating lesson content into the email body using plain text rather than attaching a .pdf is preferable.

Ely says: “I always thought, just put Bill Nye the Science Guy on. You don’t want kids just watching TV, but … if it’s something that’s going to broaden exposure, it would be beneficial. At least the time isn’t lost time.” Districts have experimented with piping music onto buses, but Ely would prefer more, envisioning “interactive games where kids have clickers, and they’re actually responding to questions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It sounds fanciful, but one district has brought something along these lines to life. Over the last two years, Google piloted its \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/5f394f60d0344748bb4f9be0579bc762\">Rolling Study Halls\u003c/a> program, providing grants to help equip school buses with Wi-Fi and stripped-down laptops. Priscilla Calcutt, director of instructional technology for the Berkeley County School District in South Carolina, says the students who live in the more high-poverty areas of her district ride the bus for 90 to 120 minutes each direction. For them, “the Wi-Fi has been a great tool.” The district has filters in place that block certain websites and keywords on both the district-provided Chromebooks and kids’ handheld devices, “but they could play games if they wanted to on the bus on the way home,” Calcutt says. Or they can get a jump on the \u003ca href=\"http://www.wbtv.com/story/32124689/wifi-on-school-buses-why-not-says-caldwell-county/\">evening’s homework\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To incentivize enrichment over entertainment, Berkeley County instructional technologist Jessica Levine helped create “bus challenges” aligned with Achieve3000, a reading and writing instruction platform used by the district’s schools. Calcutt explains: “One of the bus challenges would be to read two articles from Achieve3000 and score 80 percent or higher on your quiz.” For tackling the extra work, students earn incentives such as badges, a dance or a pizza party. A virtual help desk, Levine says, allows kids to connect with teachers and ask questions about the challenges, or get help with other homework, all while in transit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These innovations, aligned as they are with in-school work, function as a virtual analog of something \u003ca href=\"http://milehighconnects.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Transportation-Extended-Learning-Time-Report-2014-sm.pdf\">academic research \u003c/a>shows districts relying on busing often can’t adopt: extended learning programs such as longer school days. They also help level the playing field vis-a-vis children who have essentially cobbled that together by living close to school (they get after-school tutoring on site and hop on Achieve3000 from home, Calcutt says).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though the district doesn’t have data directly tying the program to improved academic performance, Levine says teachers report the kids coming off the bus with “improved overall attitude” and bus drivers see less misbehavior “because students are engaged in doing something.” It’s enough to justify \u003ca href=\"https://gizmodo.com/googles-school-bus-wi-fi-rollout-means-kids-can-cram-be-1824263022\">Google expanding\u003c/a> the program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the 2016-17 school year, Berkeley County even had teachers on the bus giving coding lessons thanks to a grant awarded to the College of Charleston, but Calcutt says the model wasn’t sustainable, both financially (once the grant money ran out) and due to other demands on teachers’ time (their training often takes place after school, and even when that’s not an issue, riding four hours round trip after teaching a full day is a tall order).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other side of the country, Rooftop’s on-site after-school program director, Leslie Einhorn, sees an easy solution to that logistical hurdle: putting someone who doesn’t teach at the school on the bus. The instructor could work in conjunction with high-tech solutions or go analog, she says, getting the kids involved in something like singing. But she and parent advocates haven’t been able to arrange \u003ca href=\"https://www.forbes.com/sites/gailcornwall/2018/05/01/why-tech-is-prepping-to-overhaul-school-transportation/#54c33b7b588a\">evening bus service\u003c/a> to try it out. In a 2014 grant application, Einhorn tried to work around that hurdle, proposing what she calls “escorted transportation” where her instructors would ride public transit with students, spending the hour-plus commute facilitating conversations that boost social-emotional development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The school’s principal decided not to wait for any of these big ideas to materialize. In her first semester on the job, Nancy Bui five times rode the bus that delivers students from the Bayview neighborhood up into the hills where her school is nestled, the same one that bus monitor Sheila Hall boards. Bui and her vice principal observed not just what one would expect—that incendiary pairing: boredom and energy—but also anxiety. Second-grade teacher Nicole Wickstrom agrees, describing students having arrived at her classroom in the morning “often in a state of fight-or-flight or heightened emotions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a shoestring budget and with the help of the school’s art coordinators, Bui launched a program dubbed #FirstClass that distributes kits filled with supplies like markers, modeling clay, connect-the-dots, origami and whiteboards. Hall brings extras along in a rolling backpack, “like a stewardess, only for enrichment materials instead of drinks,” Bui jokes before adding, “though Ms. Sheila is so much more than that.” The school’s literacy specialist got involved, too, ensuring that vocabulary words included on cards in the kits serve students’ individual needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s boring; it’s bumpy,” Bui says: “Traffic happens. Things happen.” Four times during the 2017-18 school year the bus was involved in an accident. The first occurred before the #FirstClass rollout, and Bui calls it “a disaster.” But after a subsequent fender bender, she says: “The police were shocked. They were like, ‘They’re so happy!’” Wickstrom echoes the qualitative conclusions of her teacher counterparts in South Carolina, saying engaging in something meaningful on the bus “can allow them to come to school ready to learn.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As promising as these small programs are, Professor Ely hasn’t heard anyone else “talking about how to make that time more constructive.” He says: “I don’t think that’s out there. It’s still a logistics field where if you talk to transportation people, it’s all time and distance for them. They’re not educators.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet high-quality, in-transit enrichment—in conjunction with programs that decrease ride times—could address a problem that has plagued integration efforts for more than half a century: how to keep the burden of transportation from falling solely on the backs of brown-skinned and low-income children. Decreasing the level of strain is a step in the right direction, Ely says. There’s a second theory—that the more appealing busing can be made, the more likely wealthier families are to use it—but Pedro Noguera, director of the Center for the Transformation of Schools at UCLA’s Graduate School of Education and Information Studies, is skeptical.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I like the idea of using travel time to educate or sing,” he says, but knowing what he does about racial bias and fear, he isn’t “sure if anything will make the bus attractive to the white middle class, unless it was to attend school with white elites.” The kids who currently ride buses need programs to ensure bus time isn’t wasted time, Noguera concludes, but they deserve far more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Gail Cornwall is a former public school teacher and lawyer whose children attend Rooftop Elementary School in San Francisco.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Kids who have to get on buses right after school can miss out on after school activities and help.

The status quo puts the rural students and low-income children in large urban districts who rack up the most bus minutes at a disadvantage compared to their peers who live within walking distance of school or whose parents have the time and money to drive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_52119\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-52119 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2018/09/IMG_7670-28129-1-e1536348070103-800x1067.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sheila Hall and her roller bag of student activities.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Some are trying to change that with a variety of \u003ca href=\"https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/articles/2018-06-06/will-ride-sharing-replace-traditional-school-buses\">ride-sharing\u003c/a> initiatives that decrease transit time, but long rides sometimes can’t be helped and even relatively short ones could be better managed. Ely says: “I always thought, just put Bill Nye the Science Guy on. You don’t want kids just watching TV, but … if it’s something that’s going to broaden exposure, it would be beneficial. At least the time isn’t lost time.” Districts have experimented with piping music onto buses, but Ely would prefer more, envisioning “interactive games where kids have clickers, and they’re actually responding to questions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It sounds fanciful, but one district has brought something along these lines to life. Over the last two years, Google piloted its \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/5f394f60d0344748bb4f9be0579bc762\">Rolling Study Halls\u003c/a> program, providing grants to help equip school buses with Wi-Fi and stripped-down laptops. Priscilla Calcutt, director of instructional technology for the Berkeley County School District in South Carolina, says the students who live in the more high-poverty areas of her district ride the bus for 90 to 120 minutes each direction. For them, “the Wi-Fi has been a great tool.” The district has filters in place that block certain websites and keywords on both the district-provided Chromebooks and kids’ handheld devices, “but they could play games if they wanted to on the bus on the way home,” Calcutt says. Or they can get a jump on the \u003ca href=\"http://www.wbtv.com/story/32124689/wifi-on-school-buses-why-not-says-caldwell-county/\">evening’s homework\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To incentivize enrichment over entertainment, Berkeley County instructional technologist Jessica Levine helped create “bus challenges” aligned with Achieve3000, a reading and writing instruction platform used by the district’s schools. Calcutt explains: “One of the bus challenges would be to read two articles from Achieve3000 and score 80 percent or higher on your quiz.” For tackling the extra work, students earn incentives such as badges, a dance or a pizza party. A virtual help desk, Levine says, allows kids to connect with teachers and ask questions about the challenges, or get help with other homework, all while in transit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These innovations, aligned as they are with in-school work, function as a virtual analog of something \u003ca href=\"http://milehighconnects.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Transportation-Extended-Learning-Time-Report-2014-sm.pdf\">academic research \u003c/a>shows districts relying on busing often can’t adopt: extended learning programs such as longer school days. They also help level the playing field vis-a-vis children who have essentially cobbled that together by living close to school (they get after-school tutoring on site and hop on Achieve3000 from home, Calcutt says).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though the district doesn’t have data directly tying the program to improved academic performance, Levine says teachers report the kids coming off the bus with “improved overall attitude” and bus drivers see less misbehavior “because students are engaged in doing something.” It’s enough to justify \u003ca href=\"https://gizmodo.com/googles-school-bus-wi-fi-rollout-means-kids-can-cram-be-1824263022\">Google expanding\u003c/a> the program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the 2016-17 school year, Berkeley County even had teachers on the bus giving coding lessons thanks to a grant awarded to the College of Charleston, but Calcutt says the model wasn’t sustainable, both financially (once the grant money ran out) and due to other demands on teachers’ time (their training often takes place after school, and even when that’s not an issue, riding four hours round trip after teaching a full day is a tall order).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other side of the country, Rooftop’s on-site after-school program director, Leslie Einhorn, sees an easy solution to that logistical hurdle: putting someone who doesn’t teach at the school on the bus. The instructor could work in conjunction with high-tech solutions or go analog, she says, getting the kids involved in something like singing. But she and parent advocates haven’t been able to arrange \u003ca href=\"https://www.forbes.com/sites/gailcornwall/2018/05/01/why-tech-is-prepping-to-overhaul-school-transportation/#54c33b7b588a\">evening bus service\u003c/a> to try it out. In a 2014 grant application, Einhorn tried to work around that hurdle, proposing what she calls “escorted transportation” where her instructors would ride public transit with students, spending the hour-plus commute facilitating conversations that boost social-emotional development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The school’s principal decided not to wait for any of these big ideas to materialize. In her first semester on the job, Nancy Bui five times rode the bus that delivers students from the Bayview neighborhood up into the hills where her school is nestled, the same one that bus monitor Sheila Hall boards. Bui and her vice principal observed not just what one would expect—that incendiary pairing: boredom and energy—but also anxiety. Second-grade teacher Nicole Wickstrom agrees, describing students having arrived at her classroom in the morning “often in a state of fight-or-flight or heightened emotions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a shoestring budget and with the help of the school’s art coordinators, Bui launched a program dubbed #FirstClass that distributes kits filled with supplies like markers, modeling clay, connect-the-dots, origami and whiteboards. Hall brings extras along in a rolling backpack, “like a stewardess, only for enrichment materials instead of drinks,” Bui jokes before adding, “though Ms. Sheila is so much more than that.” The school’s literacy specialist got involved, too, ensuring that vocabulary words included on cards in the kits serve students’ individual needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s boring; it’s bumpy,” Bui says: “Traffic happens. Things happen.” Four times during the 2017-18 school year the bus was involved in an accident. The first occurred before the #FirstClass rollout, and Bui calls it “a disaster.” But after a subsequent fender bender, she says: “The police were shocked. They were like, ‘They’re so happy!’” Wickstrom echoes the qualitative conclusions of her teacher counterparts in South Carolina, saying engaging in something meaningful on the bus “can allow them to come to school ready to learn.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As promising as these small programs are, Professor Ely hasn’t heard anyone else “talking about how to make that time more constructive.” He says: “I don’t think that’s out there. It’s still a logistics field where if you talk to transportation people, it’s all time and distance for them. They’re not educators.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet high-quality, in-transit enrichment—in conjunction with programs that decrease ride times—could address a problem that has plagued integration efforts for more than half a century: how to keep the burden of transportation from falling solely on the backs of brown-skinned and low-income children. Decreasing the level of strain is a step in the right direction, Ely says. There’s a second theory—that the more appealing busing can be made, the more likely wealthier families are to use it—but Pedro Noguera, director of the Center for the Transformation of Schools at UCLA’s Graduate School of Education and Information Studies, is skeptical.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I like the idea of using travel time to educate or sing,” he says, but knowing what he does about racial bias and fear, he isn’t “sure if anything will make the bus attractive to the white middle class, unless it was to attend school with white elites.” The kids who currently ride buses need programs to ensure bus time isn’t wasted time, Noguera concludes, but they deserve far more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Gail Cornwall is a former public school teacher and lawyer whose children attend Rooftop Elementary School in San Francisco.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/mindshift/52116/how-to-create-learning-opportunities-for-kids-on-the-bus","authors":["byline_mindshift_52116"],"categories":["mindshift_192"],"tags":["mindshift_20928","mindshift_252","mindshift_20701","mindshift_20784","mindshift_1040","mindshift_20801","mindshift_21216"],"featImg":"mindshift_52144","label":"mindshift"},"mindshift_48956":{"type":"posts","id":"mindshift_48956","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"mindshift","id":"48956","score":null,"sort":[1502219197000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"can-minecraft-camp-help-open-up-the-tech-world-to-low-income-kids","title":"Can Minecraft Camp Help Open Up The Tech World To Low-Income Kids?","publishDate":1502219197,"format":"standard","headTitle":"MindShift | KQED News","labelTerm":{"site":"mindshift"},"content":"\u003cp>The cubist revolution, now in its eighth year, is thriving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's Minecraft cubes, of course.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The game where you build virtual Lego-like worlds and populate them with people, animals and just about everything in between is one of the most popular games ever made; it's second only to Tetris as the best-selling video game of all time.

Berkeley\u003c/a> who helped create this camp and has studied its impact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campers here, she says, get to work through \"the steps of designing something technological that somebody else will play.\" Using a Minecraft tool called \u003ca href=\"http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Redstone_circuit\">redstone circuits\u003c/a>, kids can \"think through the basics of circuits.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But to really get that full experience, kids need the PC or Mac version of the game. A version not all have access to, Ames says. \u003ca href=\"http://morganya.org/research/ames-cscw17-minecraft.pdf\">Ames also co-authored a study\u003c/a> of Minecraft, this camp, and equity and access gaps by race, class and gender.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Generally we found that middle- and upper middle-income kids play the PC version more. Boys tend to play it more than girls. And in general, white kids tend to play it more than children of color,\" Ames says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that's troubling, she says, because the PC version is simply a richer version of the game. \"It has more options. It has more opportunities to learn to code. And we wanted to make it more accessible,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More accessible for children such as Jaiden Newton, 9. On this day I find her eagerly conspiring with her brother in a multi-player game at the camp.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So he's trying to build an underground tunnel to the other person's arena so he can steal the flag,\" she tells me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She makes her way past a dazzling cube inside one of her elaborate cube structures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Those are Ender Pearls. It's like a teleportation,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How long have you been playing Minecraft?

When it comes to educational content, not all families consume media in the same way and differences can exist within ethnic and socioeconomic groups. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.joanganzcooneycenter.org/\">Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop\u003c/a> released the results of a survey that takes a deeper dive into how Hispanic-Latino families use educational content and the platforms by which they experience it. The Cooney Center surveyed 682 Hispanic-Latino parents of children ages 2-10, and the results may inform the development of educational content, policy and technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the survey, “educational content was defined for the parent as ‘products that teach a child some type of lesson, such as an academic or social skill, or are good for a child’s learning or growth.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> The survey was part of a larger nationally representative survey of family media use of 1,577 parents. Hispanic-Latino respondents were categorized as English-only, bilingual and Spanish-only. Here are some of the findings:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Spanish-only families had the least access to digital technologies.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>Among Hispanic-Latino populations, 43 percent of Spanish-only parents had computers versus 98 percent English-only and 73 percent bilingual. High-speed Internet, which is crucial to connecting the devices, was used by 43 percent of Spanish-only parents versus 86 percent English-only and 68 percent bilingual. Television ownership was nearly ubiquitous at 98 percent, and that was the dominant platform for Spanish-only families to get educational content. Of those surveyed, 71 percent of Spanish-only parents had less than a high school education, compared with 30 percent of bilingual respondents and 10 percent of English-only speakers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Educational television is engaging.\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nContrary to its perception as a passive medium (versus phones, tablets and computers that often require physical interaction with the content), educational television can be highly engaging because of the opportunities for families to sit together to talk about what they’re seeing and experiencing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Through joint media engagement, families can talk about what the children are viewing and discuss how it relates to their lives. This stands in contrast to electronic devices, which can often be a solitary experience, though some activities can be shared. According to the survey, 76 percent of children who watched educational TV with a parent did so for an average of 104 minutes. On the computer, 47 percent of children shared that time with a parent for an average of 64 minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“TV viewing looks passive. People are sitting in front of the TV and the children are not physically interactive. But it is certainly not cognitively passive,” said report co-author June Lee, describing what happens when children are watching educational content with engaged adults. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_39515\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1118px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/2015/02/how-latino-families-use-educational-content-and-what-that-means-for-communities/figure-7-aprendiendo/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-39515\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2015/02/Figure-7-Aprendiendo.png\" alt=\"From Aprendiendo en Casa: Media as a Resource for Learning Among Hispanic-Latino Families. \" width=\"1118\" height=\"541\" class=\"size-full wp-image-39515\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2015/02/Figure-7-Aprendiendo.png 1118w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2015/02/Figure-7-Aprendiendo-400x194.png 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2015/02/Figure-7-Aprendiendo-800x387.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2015/02/Figure-7-Aprendiendo-768x372.png 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2015/02/Figure-7-Aprendiendo-320x155.png 320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1118px) 100vw, 1118px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">From Aprendiendo en Casa: Media as a Resource for Learning Among Hispanic-Latino Families.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Parental engagement is platform agnostic.\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nFor all households, discussing what is being viewed can open up opportunities to talk about language and learn new words.

When it comes to educational content, not all families consume media in the same way and differences can exist within ethnic and socioeconomic groups. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.joanganzcooneycenter.org/\">Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop\u003c/a> released the results of a survey that takes a deeper dive into how Hispanic-Latino families use educational content and the platforms by which they experience it. The Cooney Center surveyed 682 Hispanic-Latino parents of children ages 2-10, and the results may inform the development of educational content, policy and technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the survey, “educational content was defined for the parent as ‘products that teach a child some type of lesson, such as an academic or social skill, or are good for a child’s learning or growth.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> The survey was part of a larger nationally representative survey of family media use of 1,577 parents. Hispanic-Latino respondents were categorized as English-only, bilingual and Spanish-only. Here are some of the findings:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Spanish-only families had the least access to digital technologies.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>Among Hispanic-Latino populations, 43 percent of Spanish-only parents had computers versus 98 percent English-only and 73 percent bilingual. High-speed Internet, which is crucial to connecting the devices, was used by 43 percent of Spanish-only parents versus 86 percent English-only and 68 percent bilingual. Television ownership was nearly ubiquitous at 98 percent, and that was the dominant platform for Spanish-only families to get educational content. Of those surveyed, 71 percent of Spanish-only parents had less than a high school education, compared with 30 percent of bilingual respondents and 10 percent of English-only speakers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Educational television is engaging.\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nContrary to its perception as a passive medium (versus phones, tablets and computers that often require physical interaction with the content), educational television can be highly engaging because of the opportunities for families to sit together to talk about what they’re seeing and experiencing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Through joint media engagement, families can talk about what the children are viewing and discuss how it relates to their lives. This stands in contrast to electronic devices, which can often be a solitary experience, though some activities can be shared. According to the survey, 76 percent of children who watched educational TV with a parent did so for an average of 104 minutes. On the computer, 47 percent of children shared that time with a parent for an average of 64 minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“TV viewing looks passive.

(League of Innovative Schools)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp class=\"dropcap-serif\">Like many districts serving low-income populations, it was fairly easy for \u003ca href=\"http://www.digitalpromise.org/districts/piedmont-city-school-district#anchor-header3\" target=\"_blank\">Piedmont City School District\u003c/a> officials in Alabama to find funds for devices. District officials wanted to leverage technology to open up opportunities for the 1,240 students in this rural community, so they started sending devices home with kids in grades 4-12 in 2009 through a program they call \u003ca href=\"http://www.digitalpromise.org/blog/entry/a-model-for-21st-century-rural-education-at-piedmont-city-school-district\" target=\"_blank\">mPower Piedmont\u003c/a>. However, lack of access to the Internet after school and in kids' homes became a major obstacle to learning with those devices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At first, teachers tried to work around Internet limitations, letting students download what they’d need for work at home before they left school. Teachers also helped students find places in the community that had free Internet, like restaurants. Downloading content worked for some things, but it didn't allow students to truly take advantage of digital tools, like interacting with peers, accessing flipped instruction or conducting online research, said Matt Akin, Piedmont’s superintendent, in an \u003ca href=\"http://home.edweb.net/\" target=\"_blank\">edWeb\u003c/a> webinar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was really not fair to say this homework requires Internet access, and if you don’t have it, go to McDonald's,” Akin said. “But it was the only option that we had.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At first, to compensate for disparities in Internet connections, many local businesses cooperated with the district and allowed students to use the Internet at their establishments. However, it was difficult for students without independent transportation to get themselves around town. Late one night, when Akin was leaving the middle school, he saw students sitting on the steps of the school trying to use its Internet. That's when he knew they needed to devise another solution.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">'Our goal is for our students to have higher expectations for themselves.'\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Akin applied for a \u003ca href=\"http://www.broadband.gov/issues/education.html\" target=\"_blank\">Learning on the Go\u003c/a> grant, part of the E-rate program that helps subsidize the cost of Internet for schools and libraries. The district used the money to contract with a vendor that partnered with the city to build a wireless network on existing fiber optic cables that weren’t being used. Then, the school district used E-rate funds to lease use of the network. But, as so often happens with pilot programs, E-rate didn’t renew the program the following year, so the district had to shoulder the costs of maintaining the network.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The advantage is, wherever they open their computers, they’re connecting back to a network that we lease that connects not only to the Internet, but back to our network at school,” Akin said. Students can now access online homework and flipped lessons, collaborate virtually and connect with their teachers. It costs the district about $10,000 per month to lease the network and pay for mobile hot spots given to students who live outside the range of the city network. That’s 3 percent of the district’s budget. It sounds expensive, but Akin says it was the single-biggest factor in transitioning the district toward new ways of teaching and learning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district’s commitment to access for all students and their families is part of what earned it a spot in \u003ca href=\"http://www.digitalpromise.org/league\" target=\"_blank\">Digital Promise’s League of Innovative Schools\u003c/a>, a network of schools pioneering new ideas and sharing with the larger education community. “Teaching in a digital environment is hard,” Akin said. “The first year, no matter how much professional development we did, we found out quickly that the general way that we adapted as educators is we took what we were doing on paper and put it on the computer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[vimeo 97934448 w=640 h=360]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://vimeo.com/97934448\">Changing a Rural Community’s Expectations Through 24/7 Learning\u003c/a> from \u003ca href=\"http://vimeo.com/user14299867\">Digital Promise\u003c/a> on \u003ca href=\"https://vimeo.com\">Vimeo\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But teachers worked hard to move away from traditional tools like PowerPoint and annotated PDFs and toward more creative uses of the new tools at their disposal. “We invested a lot in teachers,” Akin said. “We found that it doesn’t matter if the environment is digital, it’s all about the teachers. The best professional development we do is to try and find times for our teachers to collaborate and work together.” Teachers have common planning times and seven flexible paid professional development days during the summer built into their contract.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>NEW DIGITAL LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district’s total commitment to this experiment is paying off. Not only are teachers using a variety of tools to change how they approach instruction, but online learning has also expanded the course offerings. As a small rural district, Piedmont used to offer only Spanish as a foreign language. Now it can offer five languages, including Chinese. Access to the Internet has also pushed the district toward a \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/2013/04/to-break-the-mold-is-competency-learning-the-key/\" target=\"_blank\">competency-based model\u003c/a>, where students can move at their own pace through course work, sometimes taking two courses in a year, allowing them to pick up an elective or take AP courses for college credit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Blending online courses with what can be offered in person has also given students who have fallen behind a real chance at catching up and graduating. “What traditionally happens is a kid gets behind and they can only take a certain number of credits in a year, so they never really have the opportunity to catch up,” Akin said.

(League of Innovative Schools)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp class=\"dropcap-serif\">Like many districts serving low-income populations, it was fairly easy for \u003ca href=\"http://www.digitalpromise.org/districts/piedmont-city-school-district#anchor-header3\" target=\"_blank\">Piedmont City School District\u003c/a> officials in Alabama to find funds for devices. District officials wanted to leverage technology to open up opportunities for the 1,240 students in this rural community, so they started sending devices home with kids in grades 4-12 in 2009 through a program they call \u003ca href=\"http://www.digitalpromise.org/blog/entry/a-model-for-21st-century-rural-education-at-piedmont-city-school-district\" target=\"_blank\">mPower Piedmont\u003c/a>. However, lack of access to the Internet after school and in kids' homes became a major obstacle to learning with those devices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At first, teachers tried to work around Internet limitations, letting students download what they’d need for work at home before they left school. Teachers also helped students find places in the community that had free Internet, like restaurants. Downloading content worked for some things, but it didn't allow students to truly take advantage of digital tools, like interacting with peers, accessing flipped instruction or conducting online research, said Matt Akin, Piedmont’s superintendent, in an \u003ca href=\"http://home.edweb.net/\" target=\"_blank\">edWeb\u003c/a> webinar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was really not fair to say this homework requires Internet access, and if you don’t have it, go to McDonald's,” Akin said. “But it was the only option that we had.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At first, to compensate for disparities in Internet connections, many local businesses cooperated with the district and allowed students to use the Internet at their establishments. However, it was difficult for students without independent transportation to get themselves around town. Late one night, when Akin was leaving the middle school, he saw students sitting on the steps of the school trying to use its Internet. That's when he knew they needed to devise another solution.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">'Our goal is for our students to have higher expectations for themselves.'\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Akin applied for a \u003ca href=\"http://www.broadband.gov/issues/education.html\" target=\"_blank\">Learning on the Go\u003c/a> grant, part of the E-rate program that helps subsidize the cost of Internet for schools and libraries. The district used the money to contract with a vendor that partnered with the city to build a wireless network on existing fiber optic cables that weren’t being used. Then, the school district used E-rate funds to lease use of the network. But, as so often happens with pilot programs, E-rate didn’t renew the program the following year, so the district had to shoulder the costs of maintaining the network.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The advantage is, wherever they open their computers, they’re connecting back to a network that we lease that connects not only to the Internet, but back to our network at school,” Akin said. Students can now access online homework and flipped lessons, collaborate virtually and connect with their teachers. It costs the district about $10,000 per month to lease the network and pay for mobile hot spots given to students who live outside the range of the city network. That’s 3 percent of the district’s budget. It sounds expensive, but Akin says it was the single-biggest factor in transitioning the district toward new ways of teaching and learning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district’s commitment to access for all students and their families is part of what earned it a spot in \u003ca href=\"http://www.digitalpromise.org/league\" target=\"_blank\">Digital Promise’s League of Innovative Schools\u003c/a>, a network of schools pioneering new ideas and sharing with the larger education community. “Teaching in a digital environment is hard,” Akin said. “The first year, no matter how much professional development we did, we found out quickly that the general way that we adapted as educators is we took what we were doing on paper and put it on the computer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"vimeo","attributes":{"named":{"w":"640","h":"360","label":"97934448"},"numeric":["97934448"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://vimeo.com/97934448\">Changing a Rural Community’s Expectations Through 24/7 Learning\u003c/a> from \u003ca href=\"http://vimeo.com/user14299867\">Digital Promise\u003c/a> on \u003ca href=\"https://vimeo.com\">Vimeo\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But teachers worked hard to move away from traditional tools like PowerPoint and annotated PDFs and toward more creative uses of the new tools at their disposal. “We invested a lot in teachers,” Akin said. “We found that it doesn’t matter if the environment is digital, it’s all about the teachers. The best professional development we do is to try and find times for our teachers to collaborate and work together.” Teachers have common planning times and seven flexible paid professional development days during the summer built into their contract.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>NEW DIGITAL LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district’s total commitment to this experiment is paying off.

Walker says a few years ago cell phone use in class was getting out of control so the school banned them entirely. Now, the administration is starting to ease that policy, allowing phones in school, but only if they are face down on students' desks. Walker is pushing back against that rule, allowing students to use phones all the time in her class with the hope the technology can help her bridge the gap between kids lives in and outside the classroom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"OCz7lIkiJpW9BHYQpgd3IMhtXzYqODUf\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She's found some success by giving students a chance to prove they can be responsible and relying on mutual trust to maintain classroom order. She knows that teenagers are bound to mess up sometimes, that's part of their developmental process. \"As long as you are learning from your mistakes it's all good in my book,\" Walker said. She does have some students who aren't as mature about device use or completing assignments independently. She works more diligently to keep those few engaged and supported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a Spanish teacher, Walker doesn't have to worry about high stakes tests the way English or Math teachers do. She's under less institutional pressure and has more freedom to create a classroom culture that's comfortable for students. That starts with the classroom design; there are couches in her room and students are rarely found sitting at desks. She also assigns lots of online, creative and collaborative work. \"By giving them more online assignments I'm free to meet with students individually,\" Walker said. \"I know who needs help and who's being more responsible.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She also makes it clear that kids start with a blank slate when they enter her class on the first day; they each have the opportunity to prove to her they can handle the independence and freedom she's offering. \"I think that we as a population, not just educators, do a poor job of looking past bias,\" Walker said. \"In the teaching world, you hear from the eighth-grade teacher about how terrible the kids are and so it's already predetermined that we're going to have problems.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Walker is trying to change that bias in her classroom. \"I'm not going to form an opinion about you based on what someone else said,\" she said. \"It has to do with mutual respect, I think.\" That respect is what allows Walker to give students open-ended learning opportunities, which they don't always appreciate. \"The first couple times they really struggled with it because they wanted me to tell them what to do,\" Walker said. \"Now they like it.

Despite her openness to \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/tag/byod/\" target=\"_blank\">Bring Your Own Device policies \u003c/a>(BYOD), Walker’s students can't access the internet with their phones because the wireless system can't handle the load.

Walker says a few years ago cell phone use in class was getting out of control so the school banned them entirely. Now, the administration is starting to ease that policy, allowing phones in school, but only if they are face down on students' desks. Walker is pushing back against that rule, allowing students to use phones all the time in her class with the hope the technology can help her bridge the gap between kids lives in and outside the classroom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She's found some success by giving students a chance to prove they can be responsible and relying on mutual trust to maintain classroom order. She knows that teenagers are bound to mess up sometimes, that's part of their developmental process. \"As long as you are learning from your mistakes it's all good in my book,\" Walker said. She does have some students who aren't as mature about device use or completing assignments independently. She works more diligently to keep those few engaged and supported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a Spanish teacher, Walker doesn't have to worry about high stakes tests the way English or Math teachers do. She's under less institutional pressure and has more freedom to create a classroom culture that's comfortable for students. That starts with the classroom design; there are couches in her room and students are rarely found sitting at desks. She also assigns lots of online, creative and collaborative work. \"By giving them more online assignments I'm free to meet with students individually,\" Walker said. \"I know who needs help and who's being more responsible.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She also makes it clear that kids start with a blank slate when they enter her class on the first day; they each have the opportunity to prove to her they can handle the independence and freedom she's offering. \"I think that we as a population, not just educators, do a poor job of looking past bias,\" Walker said. \"In the teaching world, you hear from the eighth-grade teacher about how terrible the kids are and so it's already predetermined that we're going to have problems.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Walker is trying to change that bias in her classroom. \"I'm not going to form an opinion about you based on what someone else said,\" she said. \"It has to do with mutual respect, I think.\" That respect is what allows Walker to give students open-ended learning opportunities, which they don't always appreciate. \"The first couple times they really struggled with it because they wanted me to tell them what to do,\" Walker said. \"Now they like it. We just kept doing it and eventually they realized that it wasn't going away.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_37180\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 247px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2014/08/amy-walker2.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-37180 size-full\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2014/08/amy-walker2.jpg\" alt=\"Amy Walker teaches high school spanish in Missouri.
