Gangnam Style Shows What Can Happen When You Don't Lean On Copyright | Techdirt - 0 views

    Another, appropriate in my view, look at copyright. Maybe the patent and copyright offices SHOULD close and put a lot of lawyers out of work :)

Manifesto for education change | Connected Principals - 3 views

  • We need to train teachers to know how to maximise benefits of online learning. We need to re-shape online learning space and make it personalised, engaging & suited to the task.
  • Will schools have a role into the future? Yes! Schools should be the core functional, relational communities of society.
  • Physical space is just as important as virtual and/or pedagogic space. Kill off desks, chairs and lockers.

  • There are so many better & engaging ways to furnish a space.
  • Leadership roles should match priorities, not history.
  • Students must learn to be engaged learners. Parents need to grow their understanding of the realities their children will face, not re-live their own school experience.
  • Teaching could be about creative direction, rather than about behaviour management.
  • Curriculum should be meaningful, contextual, authentic, integrated, challenge based, relational.
  • We should kill off the one teacher per class model. It is fraught with emotional risks.
  • Students should be given capacity to delve deeply into topics, not punctuated by factory-style bells. Schools need to experiment with far more timetable-less days – opportunities for real life learning.

Why Curation Will Transform Education and Learning: 10 Key Reasons - 6 views

  • the adoption of "curation approaches" will directly affect the way competences are taught, how textbooks are put together, how students are going to learn about a subject, and more than anything, the value that can be generated for "others" through a personal learning path.
  • The goal is to learn how to learn, to know where to look for something and to be able to identify which parts of all the information available are most relevant to learn or achieve a certain goal or objective.
  • Content curation embodies these research, investigative and sense-making traits.

  • find, identify, monitor and update which are the most relevant "information sources", hubs or curators in every possible area of interest. Search engines and traditional media do not presently provide this information
  • Some of these would certainly include online searching, research, critical thinking, comparative analysis, evaluation and verification of alternative sources, classification and labeling, questioning, summarizing and synthesis skills (among others)
  • In other words, researchers, educators and guides prefer to refer to trusted "curators" of specific information areas rather than to rely on Google-style secret and commercially-driven algorithms.

Why You Should Care About and Defend Your Privacy - 0 views

  • Privacy is dead, right? Facebook knows everything about you, and the world is still turning.
  • Making the case that information about you, your demographics, your behaviors and habits—all information you may think has little to no value—is valuable to the people looking for it is one important step in explaining why this is all important.
  • The fact is, your data is worth real, tangible money to the companies that offer you free services (in Facebook's case, you're worth just shy of $5 per year) and the companies they do business with, even if they're not asking you to open your wallet.P

  • what data is requested of them, how much of the requested information is required for the service they want to use, and how their data is eventually used. The survey notes that even young people are concerned about their privacy, the ones often written off as part of a generation that's willing to share everything online.
  • people are still quite concerned with their privacy. The baseline for privacy has simply changed.
  • Rainey says that even those who dismiss privacy concerns become concerned when confronted with the depth of information they've revealed, and when shown how that information is used once they give it up.
  • "They just want control over what information they give up,
  • what they agree to, and what information is made public versus kept private in the databases and annals of the companies and organizations that get to see it."
