As part of a larger evaluation study on the equity and impacts of the nation’s largest community broadband initiative, this paper investigates the relationship between access, beliefs, and parents’ use of educational technology over two years. Surveying a random sample of 400+ households in addition to in-depth longitudinal interviews with eleven families, results show most parents actively engaged and positively valued several aspects of technology applied to support their child’s learning. Moreover, initial results indicate provision of broadband access also had a statistically significant relationship with parent uses of technology.Keywords: Parentshousehold surveydigital equitycommunity broadbandeducational technology AcknowledgementsThis independent research and evaluation study was generously supported by The Enterprise Center, Anonymous Broadband Provider, and Anonymous County Schools.Disclosure statementThe authors report there are no competing interests to declare.Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the Enterprise Center under Grant number 5111961.","PeriodicalId":45769,"journal":{"name":"COMPUTERS IN THE SCHOOLS","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136134569","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To support their knowledge and expertise on GBL, a group of Italian teachers volunteered in a four-month, free-access online training on GBL characteristics and GBL design to take games in school during the pandemic. Before the training, teachers had very high and generalized trust in relation to the potential of GBL, despite limited exposure. After the training, teachers developed more insightful opinions and expectations, strengthening their positive feeling of GBL. The study also analyzed teachers’ methodological choices and skills in implementing GBL activities in blended and digital learning environments. Teachers used games for different goals to promote student engagement and academic continuity in times of crisis, but also as a flexible and effective environment to promote active learning strategies in both face to face and distance education.Keywords: Game-based learningteacher trainingvideogames in educationonline and blended learningteacher self-efficacydistance learning AcknowledgementsThe authors would like to thank Donatella Solda and Damien Lanfrey from FEM Foundation for contributing to the project ideation, providing the resources for hosting, and implementing the course.

Teachers are open to improving their digital skills. Nevertheless, some teachers fear technology and are reluctant to embrace change. Our results indicate that it is timely to leverage the increased use of technologies in the classroom before teaching reverts to pre-pandemic norms of “face-to-face.” CD provides an excellent opportunity to introduce teachers and students to aspects of computer science without placing demands on them to develop technical skills. The paper provides considerations for the adoption of CD in our education system and in initial teacher education programs.","PeriodicalId":45769,"journal":{"name":"COMPUTERS IN THE SCHOOLS","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136308852","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, little is known about how teachers can support cyber-victims. This study aims to examine the specific support strategies that predict emotional relief from severe cyber-victimization. This study also identifies demographic and contextual determinants that further facilitate emotional relief when teacher support is provided. Using a within-subjects design, participants aged 12-to-17 years old rated the intensity of their emotions after being presented with vignettes about hypothetical cyberbullying scenarios. The study found that each type of teacher support predicted emotional relief in comparison to no support for each form of severe cyberbullying, but the amount of emotional relief varied across support types, demographic factors, and contextual factors. These findings have implications for early prevention methods for teachers of victimized youth.Keywords: Cyberbullyingadolescentsocial supportteacheremotional impact Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementData and study materials are available upon request.","PeriodicalId":45769,"journal":{"name":"COMPUTERS IN THE SCHOOLS","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135308308","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This artificial intelligence (AI) large language model (LLM) is designed to generate human-like text based on patterns found in massive amounts of data scraped from the internet. ChatGPT is significantly different from previous versions of GPT by its quality of output, capability to interact and hold human-like conversations, enormous speed, and ability to have its output refined by users or experts. New iterations of ChatGPT as well as open source and alternative LLMs, and ChatGPT plugins extend the current capabilities of ChatGPT and offer unlimited opportunities to change how we do things. Despite its newfound popularity and capabilities, ChatGPT is fraught with concerns such as cheating, misinformation, bias, abuse and misuse, and privacy and safety. On the other hand, the integration of ChatGPT in the classroom prompts us to envision better ways of providing instruction and assessment of writing skills. ChatGPT also provides unparalleled approaches for personalized learning. As educators, we must consider and deal with the serious concerns of using ChatGPT but simultaneously explore how this AI technology can enhance and extend current methods of instruction. In this paper, authors explain what ChatGPT is and how it works, and future iterations of ChatGPT. They also present concerns and opportunities, and educational implications of using ChatGPT in the classroom.","PeriodicalId":45769,"journal":{"name":"COMPUTERS IN THE SCHOOLS","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136191859","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the beginning, the author emphasizes fundamentally different cognitive objectives of empirical science and humanities. In the authors’ opinion, the current scientification of the humanities leads to the domination of a single type of knowledge based on empiricism promoted in schools as a part of the so-called STEM education. A visible manifestation of this process is the labification of school learning methods. The laboratory metaphor may, however, be destructive for the non-science studies. Thereafter, the author outlines how advanced technologies can be used to teach literature according to the specificity of the cognitive model of philological studies. Through the example of an ongoing research project he shows how using cultural heritage sites and embedded education can enhance the process of studying literature, and thus help students develop new interpretative pathways and cognitive skills based on elements typical for digital environments and augmented reality.","PeriodicalId":45769,"journal":{"name":"COMPUTERS IN THE SCHOOLS","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46789677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
