  • “If print culture shaped the environment from which the Enlightenment blossomed and set the scene for the Industrial Revolution, participatory media might similarly forge the cognitive and social environments in which 21st-century life will take place.”
  • the “literacy of participation,” and I guess this consists of the social norms of social media. What are they, and why are they so important?

    Insightful audio interview. The interviewee mentions about the "literacy of participation" as a key factor in the upcoming shifts in our cognitive and social environments of the 21st century.

  • Teaching is not simply presenting ideas and insights, nor filling students’ heads with what we know or transmitting information. Learning is not just committing facts to memory but the ability to critique, synthesise, analyse, use and apply information.
  • The addition of greater interactivity is essential to make knowledge transfer in universities more meaningful in today’s world
  • . But how do we integrate the digital world’s resources into classroom-based learning?
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • A key element in any directed learning environment is the assessment of competence in that knowledge.
  • The first step — “knows” — is knowledge about a subject, such as recalling facts. The second is to “know how” to use the knowledge, such as in analysing a problem. The third step is to demonstrate proficiency in applying the knowledge — “shows how”.
  • The fourth step is to see how the knowledge is integrated into the real world.
  • The final step, “mastery”, refers to the competence of an expert who teaches the next generation.

    NIE is mentioned in this article talking about mobile technology in schools. And the platform chosen was Windows.... The National Institute of Education of Singapore is assisting teachers with the development of customized curriculum in English, Science and Chinese that leverages the benefits of mobile, Internet-connected, learning devices and provides students with new learning opportunities that are not possible with paper and pencil. We co-design technology enabled lessons with the teachers and provide professional development to teachers that enable them to enact lessons using smartphones. It is critical to empower teachers to orchestrate the transformed classroom to support students' personalized learning," says Professor Looi Chee Kit of the National Institute of Education. All smartphones are equipped with MyDesk, a next-generation mobile learning platform tailored to leverage the capabilities of Microsoft's Windows Phone operating system. MyDesk enables each student to access his or her assignments, relevant websites that contain podcasts, textual material and video clips and educational applications, such as concept mapping, drawing and animating, to practice both self-directed and collaborative learning.

    Instead of a compass telling you exactly which direction to go, it acts as a facilitator, allowing you to work out your own route - and discover new things along the way. This can serve as a metaphor for our 21st-century style of facilitated and directed e-learning. How can we use and even reverse the default affordances of a mobile phone to enhance exploratory and creative learning? Based on the above reflection, here's one random idea for stimulating creative learning using mobile apps: - Language: As you walk along a path, the phone automatically generates a "cloud" of words extracted from geolocated tweets associated with the location that you are currently on, and invites you to contribute your own tweets about your own location.

    Thanks for sharing this. It's something I might be able to use for my trainees next semester. BTW, gaming as tests is news only to the layperson. Gamers and educators/researchers involved with gaming know that games are mainly a series of tests! People can't get over the idea that you can actually enjoy yourself taking tests.

    Influence them from top down and bottom up. Our stakeholders like ACIS, Programme Offices and AG supports may be our initial targets. Hopefully with a bigger support group, we will be able to induce the others to come on board. I am trying to influence my bus buddies in a small way too :)
