The End in Mind » A Post-LMS Manifesto - 1 views

  •  
    "While LMS providers are making laudable efforts to incrementally make their tools more social, open, modular, and interoperable, they remain embedded in the classroom paradigm. The paradigm-not the technology-is the problem. We need to build, bootstrap, cobble together, implement, support, and leverage something that is much more open and loosely structured such that learners can connect with other learners (sometimes called teachers) and content as they engage in the authentic behaviors, activities and work of learning. Building a better, more feature-rich LMS won't close the 2-sigma gap. We need to utilize technology to better connect people, content, and learning communities to facilitate authentic, personal, individualized learning. What are we waiting for?"

BusinessWorld Online: The role of technology in education - 0 views

  • Nevertheless, we warn institutions against making dramatic leaps into the digital learning space without understanding how students will respond or how technology complements, instead of merely replaces, teaching.

      I like the idea of online learning's rite of passage
  • Online learning’s rite of passage Email, social media, and even the telephone all faced resistance when they were introduced to the market; but convenience and necessity soon trumped concerns around security and the detriment of human interactivity. Online learning faces similar arguments. We expect that opposition will subside in the near future as learning evolves with student demand, not through mandates from budget-minded administrators.

Teachers Embracing Social Media in the Classroom | TechNewsDaily - 0 views

  • But, Lehmann cautions, the use of social media in school can't be left to chance; it needs to be mediated. "It's very much a part of our curriculum," he said. "The kids take a semester-long technology class at the beginning of the ninth grade. It teaches the kids to use the tools in the context of their academic classrooms." Social media does not replace the existing curriculum, Lehmann said – it's a transformation of it.

      This the most important statement made here.
  • "Schools need to think how powerful it could be as a learning tool to bring that engagement outside the classroom into the classroom," he said.

The Social Media Classroom | DMLcentral - 0 views

  • I had assumed that all the laptop-staring, smartphone-glancing students were like my daughter (a college student when I started teaching) and all her friends and the other digital natives I had heard so much about. So I put together an online survey and discovered a wide disparity in my students' web skills. Just because they Facebook, text, or participate in online games doesn't mean that all young people understand rhetorics of blogging or collaborative uses of wikis or building personal learning networks with Twitter.

      We have to be careful not to assume that all "social media engaged" individuals understand all social tools. I made that assumption about myself in CI593 because I used a few tools I thought everything else would be easy. That was far from reality.
