The Connected Workplace | Harold Jarche - 1 views

  • learning amongst ourselves is the real work in organizations today
  • social learning is how work gets done
  • Personal knowledge management (PKM) skills can help to make sense of, and learn from, the constant stream of information that workers encounter from social channels both inside and outside the organization.

  • PKM is a process of filtering, creating, and discerning, and it also helps manage individual professional development through continuous learning.
  • Work is changing and so organizational learning must change. There is an urgent need for organizational support functions (HR, OD, KM, Training) to move beyond offering training services and toward supporting learning as it is happening in the digitally connected workplace. The connected workplace will not wait for the training department to catch up.

14 things that are obsolete in 21st century schools | Ingvi Hrannar - 3 views

    Thanks Suzanne!
  •  
    Some interesting ideas here. But I would contend with, first, with the lack of non-technology 'innovative ways' to approach 21 century learning, and, second, his 'ranking' of what is 'obsolete'. thoughts?

    Just saw this Doug. I agree that innovative movements in education certainly don't need to involve technology. When I read this article I see much more than technology tool as offerings 21st century learning. I see major themes including collaboration, information access, personalization of the learning process, student choice, and better opportunities for students to be active learners. It's true you can't read too many paragraphs in this article that don't involve words like "blog" and "device." Yet, if these tools have become such a useful part of the lives of the 21st century student, why shouldn't we as teachers advocate for their use in our curriculum re-designs and innovative approaches to 21 century learning in schools?

Is technology changing how students learn? - Daniel Willingham - 0 views

  • a lot of psychologists are actually skeptical that digital media are likely to fundamentally change the fundamentals of human cognition.
  • Steven Pinker has written "Electronic media aren't going to revamp the brain's mechanisms of information processing." I made the same argument here.
  • he basic architecture is likely to be relatively fixed, and in the absence of extreme deprivation, will develop fairly predictably.

  • Rather, the seemingly shorter attention span is their ability to maintain attention on a task that is not very interesting to them.
  • The second is the willingness to do so.
  • It's much easier for me to accept that one's beliefs--beliefs about what is worthy of my attention, beliefs about how much effort I should dispense to tasks--can be moved around, because beliefs are a product of experience.
