Infographic and Information about Mobile learning and educators tipps on podcasting.

EduCamp 2009 in Graz Digital native, totally wired, lifestreaming, information overload, mobile society sind Stichwörter, die immer mehr an Bedeutung gewinnen und deren Auswirkungen auf den Bildungsbereich bereits heute in Ansätzen sichtbar werden. Diskutierte man vor Jahren noch über online Lehren und Lernen an Hochschulen, Schulen und in der Weiterbildung, so scheint dieses Thema in der Debatte über Web 2.0 Anwendungen unwichtig zu sein. Doch was passiert, wenn die Jugend von heute, aufgewachsen in virtuellen Netzwerken, ausgestattet mit hochleistungsfähigen Endgeräten und breitem Wissen über Webanwendungen und Programmiertechnologie, Schule und Universitäten bevölkert? Um diese Entwicklung im Bildungsbereich umfassend diskutieren zu können, möchten wir vom 6.-7. November 2009 das erste österreichische und vierte deutschsprachige EduCamp rund um das Thema "Lernende von morgen - Informationsjunkies?" veranstalten.

Are you ready to lead a revolution at your school or in your district? Leadership Day 2009. Intro: The Professional Networked Learning Collaborative Back in 2002 in his book Smart Mobs: The Next Social Revolution Howard Rheingold predicted that, "The 'killer apps' of tomorrow's mobile infocom industry won't be hardware devices or software program but social practices. The most far reaching changes will come, as they often do, from the kinds of relationships, enterprises, communities, and markets that the infrastructure makes possible." The prediction, as we now know, was spot dead on. The technology has transformed our relationships, how we are able to collaborate, how we now define communities, what constitutes a network, and what kinds of work we are able to do. According to Deborah Ancona and Henrik Bresman, authors of X-Teams, "…team effectiveness is not just a matter of managing well around the conference table. Success also depends on team's reaching out across their borders to find needed information and expertise."It is this intersection of collaboration and technology that has now allowed us to create and leverage a new form of boundary crossing Professional Learning Community. It's called a Professional Networked Learning Collaborative.

The ability to relate abstract knowledge to real-world experiences is indispensable in the modern society. Therefore the construction of knowledge from real-world contexts is a major issue of education. This issue is not supported by the current learning management systems. In the RAFT project we develop a system to support remote accessible field trips. One of its applications, the mobile collector, facilitates constructivistic learning processes in real-world contexts.
