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.

Computer self-learning Experiment in India "Hole-in-the-Wall" - 0 views

  • In an amazing experiment a Delhi-based IT professional has proved that kids can learn computer skills on their own. Over the years the results of Dr. Mitra’s experiments have been so spectacular that the National Geographic Channel has made a film on his unique research.
  • Again, to his surprise he discovered that the slum kids quickly taught themselves how to surf the Internet, read news and download games and music. Dr. Mitra then replicated the experiment in other locations, with the same results---within hours the children would teach themselves how to use the Net.

Concrete examples don't help students learn math, study finds - 0 views

  • However, the true test came later when the researchers asked these students to apply the same principles in a totally different setting
    • glen gatin
       
      Another true test might be how well the teacher could apply the same principles in a totally different setting.
  •  
    Could it be that part of the problem be that the teachers who attempt to teach with "real world" concrete examples have never had any real world concrete experience. 12 years of school followed by 4-5 years of undergrad, now you are a teacher, teach about the real world. hmmm

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).
    • paul reid
       
      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).

  • Becta's "Next Generation Learning" campaign aims to improve the way schools and colleges use technology for learning, and a key part of this drive is about raising awareness among parents of the benefits of technology and the internet, while encouraging them to stay safe online. There is a huge amount of advice and guidance available for parents to ensure their children are protected in the virtual world. Organisations like the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP) and Stay Safe Online, for example, are working hard to help parents understand more about what their children are doing on the web.
