21st Century Learning: Learning2.0 - 0 views

  • Independent school culture is such that teachers need to make certain they build on the rich heritage of what works and yet make room to rethink delivery of AP courses and such so that these kids not only get into some of the most prestigious colleges around, but they are fluent in the new literacies when they arrive.
  • Web 2.0 – and
    ultimately School 2.0 -- is all about this
    two-way or group communication. The Web is no longer just a place to search for
    resources. It’s a place to find people, to exchange ideas, to demonstrate our
    creativity before an audience. The Internet has become not only a great curriculum resource but a great learning resource. The second generation Web is in fact,
    laying the foundation for ideas such as Classroom 2.0, Teacher 2.0 and Learning 2.0.

Tryangulation: My part of the world is not flat - 0 views

  • The YouTube Wars



    Prof. Akalın was probably pleased last week when, for a few days at least, we lost our access to that Eurovision winning song. In response to a satirical video that was offensive to the memory of Atatürk, the founder of modern Turkey, a Turkish court shut down any access to YouTube.com. The offending video was uploaded supposedly by Greeks wanting to antagonize their neighbors, and it prompted a war of offensive and counter offensive videos and endless (and pointless) comments.  It is against the law here to insult Atatürk, but since the offenders were "out there" somewhere beyond prosecution on the Internet, punishment was levied on Turkish Internet users instead.



    The story is even sadder as I remember attending a conference in Athens last fall with several Turkish colleagues, and we were pleasantly surprised at the warmth of so many Greeks, including several who spoke with us in Turkish.
