Digital Education, A Prelude to Digital India | TutStu - 0 views

  •  
    Digital India is not a 'Policy Change" but also a "Social Change" which involves transforming the mind-set of its Citizen. E-Learning and Digital Education are the two sides of the same coin. Students nowadays are apt with Computers, Laptops, Tablets and Smartphones. They are getting introduced & gaining experience of E-Learning.

ACMA - Media Literacy - Concepts, Research and Regulatory Issues - 0 views

  • Key findings from the research are that: Media literacy, whether in traditional or convergent media contexts, is important for being engaged in society. Effective use of media and communications services is increasingly a prerequisite to broader citizen engagement including access to essential services. While the gap between ‘haves’ and ‘have nots’ is narrowing in terms of access to information and communications technologies, there is evidence of a digital ‘use/literacy’ divide associated with socio-economic status, age, workforce participation and household type. The promotion of media literacy is an important prerequisite to effective regulatory intervention designed to protect consumers, particularly for online and mobile services.

elearnspace. Connectivism: A Learning Theory for the Digital Age - 0 views

  • Albert-László Barabási states that “nodes always compete for connections because links represent survival in an interconnected world” (2002, p.106).

      My prediction is that the schools that initiate and establish contact with other schools for authentic inquiry based learning using connectivist tools will gain greater immunity from irrelavence. Relavence will become increasingly important to parents/students when choosing venues for learning to occur. A colleague once said to me that academic results at the private schools she chose for her kids were not as important as the lifelong connections they made with friends with influence. Optimistically I disagreed, but the power of connectivism whilst not immediately apparent is related at the contextual core to this element of Darwinist process.
  • Some questions to explore in relation to learning theories and the impact of technology and new sciences (chaos and networks) on learning: How are learning theories impacted when knowledge is no longer acquired in the linear manner? What adjustments need to made with learning theories when technology performs many of the cognitive operations previously performed by learners (information storage and retrieval). How can we continue to stay current in a rapidly evolving information ecology? How do learning theories address moments where performance is needed in the absence of complete understanding? What is the impact of networks and complexity theories on learning? What is the impact of chaos as a complex pattern recognition process on learning? With increased recognition of interconnections in differing fields of knowledge, how are systems and ecology theories perceived in light of learning tasks?
  • Constructivism suggests that learners create knowledge as they attempt to understand their experiences (Driscoll, 2000, p. 376).

    Digital citizenship isn't just about recognising and dealing with online hazards. It's about building safe spaces and communities, understanding how to manage personal information, and about being internet savvy - using your online presence to grow and shape your world in a safe, creative way, and inspiring others to do the same.

    the eStrategy mentions embedded practice (as opposed to undeveloped) it includes "Embedded The site has developed innovative approaches to the sharing of effective practice, coaching and mentoring within and beyond the site and makes use of technology to achieve this. Child and student, peer and/or community mentors are an essential component. Organised and planned processes are in place to support and enhance teaching and learning activities and opportunities." and "Resources - Virtual Environments All children and students and staff contribute to virtual learning environments, complementing and extending teaching, learning and the curriculum.

digital digs: NEMLA presentation on networked composition - 0 views

  • I'm not saying these are necessarily bad things. I'm just saying they no longer exist as they once did b/c they relied on an inaccessibility/scarcity of information and the difficulty of forming and maintaining groups: two things media networks obviously do very well.
