I'd like to involve children's parents via creative & interesting coding activities. We often work on this topic & children like it. It will be great pupils show their parents  how to program & how to code online through amazing platforms like: Code.org, Kodu, Tynker, Scratch, CoderDojo, etc. BYOD, play & have fun with your teachers & parents! Challenge - based learning is lovely! :)

# data[].attributes.body
First of all, I'd talk with parents...there are a lot of ways to do it/online or face to face/. Then, it will be great to motivate parents to inspire Max for successful work via interesting homework including nice project - based learning. Creative job in class will show him the advantages of school & studying. Here's a little bit of our amazing work which can help related to Max's case. Thanks! :)

We don't imagine modern life without social networking, Facebook, Twitter, You Tube, etc are already a part of our life. As teachers we use them in our work with students. We use them in order to share good practice & nice experience. Students are motivated to communicate & collaborate on different topics, to be creative & to share their products of project - based learning. Teachers are inspired to provide innovative educational techniques & methods, too. 'Stay tuned & be creative' is our motto, but students have to keep the safety. 'Think before you post!

Thanks for the questions! Maybe the lack of PCs & laptops for each student, the software, too. We need of modern ICT & new devices in order to provide successful teaching & learning. Although that we've got good teachers, they need of help & great support related to iCT. We need of new language, of new challenge. :)

Teachers need of a lot of digital skills in order to teach new ICT, especially coding & programming. New digital literacy is important & teachers should give it to their students. The job market needs of successful IT specialists & creative young people. That's why the e - learning has to start in primary classes like language one. The educational system needs of innovative IT teachers to young learners. It would be great to know more about foreign language teaching, but also coding & programming. Give teachers an opportunity to learn PC languages, help them to be innovative in the digital era! Thanks! :)

The Pacific Northwest tree octopus is an Internet hoax created in 1998 by a humor writer under the pseudonym Lyle Zapato. Since its creation, the Pacific Northwest tree octopus website has been commonly referenced in Internet literacy classes in schools and has been used in multiple studies demonstrating children's gullibility regarding online sources of information.

Description

This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it.

This fictitious endangered species of cephalopod was given the Latin name " Octopus paxarbolis" (the species name being coined from Latin pax, the root of Pacific, and Spanish arbol meaning "tree"). It was purportedly able to live both on land and in water, and was said to live in the Olympic National Forest and nearby rivers, spawning in water where its eggs are laid. Its major predator was said to be the Sasquatch.

This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it.

In 2018, the website was selected as one of 30 websites to form the initial collection of the Library of Congress's Web Culture's Web Archive.

Internet literacy studies

Leu et al. (2007) conducted an empirical study on 13-year old US school children's ability to critically evaluate online information for reliability. The sample included the top quartile of school children (n=53) in samples from the states of Connecticut and South Carolina. Each school child was exposed to the spoof site "Save The Northwest Pacific Tree Octopus", devoted to this rare species of octopus, complete with pictures of the animal itself and its environment. The school children then received a short, fictitious, message from another class, asking them to locate and evaluate the reliability of the website. They were to provide three reasons for their answer, and summarize the most important information from that website in one or two sentences. Then they were asked to send their information via IM, email, or to post this on a blog site. Following the activity, school children were interviewed to ensure that they were familiar with the term "reliable," an important concept in the task. When asked what this term meant, all responded with answers indicating that they understood the term (e.g., "It means that you can trust it;" "It means it will always be there for you;" or "It's like a friend that you can trust"). See also.

In the spring of 2017, Loos, Ivan & Leu (2018) replicated the study in a Dutch school class of 27 children (13 girls and 14 boys, 11/12 years old) in the following way: The teacher and the school children were told by the first author of the study that the lesson that would follow would be an online reading comprehension exercise; the real purpose of the lesson was not revealed in advance. The children were asked by the scholar to visit the abovementioned website. They were given the following instructions: "Have a look at this website. Look at the pictures, click on the links if you wish. Do not hurry, you have time enough. And this is not a test. It will not be graded." The website was automatically translated to Dutch, a facility offered by the Chromebook they all used. Then, they were asked to answer the following questions:

(1) This website presents an octopus living in trees. What country does this animal live in?

(2) According to the website, this particular octopus is an endangered species. For what reason?

(3) If Greenpeace were to ask you to save this octopus, would you support this and sign? YES, because ... NO, because ... (choose one)

(4) Were there parts of the website you didn't understand? If so, please explain.

(5) Are there any other comments about this website you would like to make?" Hence, these school children thought the text was about their willingness to undertake action for an endangered animal.

The pupils who answered 'YES' to question (3) were judged as perceiving the site as a reliable one. In this way, it was not necessary to explicitly ask about the reliability of the site, which would have risked priming them. The school children were debriefed after the session and they received a new media literacies training.

The 2007 US study found that slightly more than half (27) of the 53 school children taking part in the study reported the website as being very reliable. Only 6 out of the 53 school children (11%) viewed the website as unreliable. Each of these 6 school children had just participated in a lesson that used this website to teach them to be suspicious of information online.

In the 2017 Dutch study only 2 out of the total 27 school children (7%) recognized that the website was a hoax. The setting of the task (school environment), the trust in their teacher and the scholar, and the emotional involvement (the topic was an animal in danger) might have made it more difficult for them to perceive the information on the website as fake. Several told the scholar they were shocked that they had considered the digital information on the website to be reliable, as they had received several lessons in new literacy training at school over the past year.

First of all I'd like to thank you for these nice videos! Think that the 10 items are important in order to develop digital competencies of people. Young learners need to know more about new language - coding & programming related to job market. Modern digital era requires new knowledge, modern virtual skills for great communication & collaboration. The world is global & people need to learn new literacy like digital languages in order to write, speak, read, think, listen to themselves. Here's a little bit of my 'coding' lessons with pupils. Enjoy it! :)

All of it is true & agree with you, Of course, it's a positive development, because new ICT & modern devices give us amazing opportunities to be together in the global world like a family. People communicate face to face, help, work each other & that's great. Ya, the present is different, the future will be more different as well. We have to prepare for these challenges developing our digital competencies & virtual skills. ;)

I've never used the model of 'flipping classrooms', but I'm going to try it, because I'm inspired of this technique very much. We all live in the world of modern technologies & social networking, so we should use this method in our lessons. Tablets can be useful related to it, because they provide flexible mobile learning with new ICT. How do I start? For example, with some online instructions for QR codes & about pair programming to pupils...then children can discuss their job in the classroom. The instructions should include some info about websites like: QR Generator, QR Reader, scanning apps & so on. Then students can work on pairs online like navigators & drivers. When they make the tasks/ generate, scan, read & share QR codes/, they can exchange their job with others. 'Flipping Classrooms' are amazing for coding! Thanks!. :)

First of all, many thanks for the great videos & nice suggestions. Think that tablets can be used on social networking between pupils, in order to improve their communication, with a lot of modern apps, & also to develop their collaborative work on projects, for example on activities of QR codes/generating, scanning, reading of bar codes/ & coding. Imagine future classroom with modern devices & gadgets which will give students first steps in coding, where pupils will learn not with pen or pencil, but on their mobile phones, smartphones, tablets...:)

# data[].attributes.body
My pupils are young, 7 - 11 years old, but they learn with pleasure & good motivation. Most of them like reading, another prefer writing, listening, speaking. They are so active when work on great eTwinning projects. In this way , they learn how to think critically, & also develop their creativity related to the main competencies. This school year my pupils worked on nice project activities related to digital competencies/they're almost 11/. Children were so active on the topic of QR codes & coding. You can see my learning diary when I posted their job. All of these activities need of use tablets, smartphones & other mobile devices. My pupils made amazing tasks of QR codes & coding with their own personal gadgets. So..think that the learning style of my young learners is great, especially when it combines with modern ICT. Digital devices help students to develop their skills & competencies, & also multiple intelligence. 'Be Creative!' is the motto of them. They already think about summer holiday when everybody can BYOD & have fun...:)
