When we talk about connected learning, we're implicating a whole host of different actors to enable learning - educators, parents, students, librarians, administrators, government agencies, technologists, learning companies, etc.
-
4. Do you know of any tools, procedures, apps, and/or systems enabling or disabling trust? How are they doing this? What do these tools, procedures, and/or systems change how learning can happen in connected learning environments?
-
But trust starts from collectively recognizing that we're all working towards a desirable goal of empowering learners and realizing that getting there will be imperfect and require iteration.
-
The other core issue is that people's failure to understand technology's strengths and weaknesses mean that the public often has unreasonable expectations regarding technology and its application.
-
understand, respect, and trust one another. And then we need them to help bake trust into the systems that they build - technological, social, and governmental.
-
So a huge part of the process of building and sustaining trust is to plan for what happens when things go wrong. We do this all the time in education - think about fire drills - but we don't realize how important this is when we think about technology.
-
. What are some of the literacies you think are required for learners to have a digital “trust literacy”?
-
think that people need to understand how data is collected, aggregated, sold, and used in the process of enabling all sorts of everyday services.
