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.

Digital Native vs Digital Citizen? Examining a Dangerous Stereotype | Edutopia - 1 views

  • what happens when and if those children become connected to the larger, global online community? It is not guaranteed that they will be ready to navigate etiquette and intellectual property rights on their own. It is dangerous for us to assume that there is such a thing as a "digital native."

Disrupting Class: Student-Centric Education Is the Future | Edutopia - 0 views

  • Current Classrooms -- Teacher Centric: Standardization, which replaced personalization as public school enrollment rose in the late 1800s, still dictates the way subjects are taught
  • Future Classrooms -- Student Centric: This model utilizes the teacher as mentor, problem solver, and support person
  • Students partake in interactive learning with computers and other technology devices; teachers roam around as mentors and individual learning coaches; learning is tailored to each student's differences; students are engaged and motivated.

  • the computers have not transformed the classroom, nor has their use boosted learning as measured by test scores

      Do test scores measure what has been added or transformed?
  • How can we start down the path to transform the classroom?
  • The classroom of today doesn't even look that much different from the classroom of thirty years ago
  • An organization's natural instinct is to cram the innovation into its existing operating model to sustain what it already does
  • target those who are not being served -- people we call nonconsumers. That way, all the new approach has to do is be better than the alternative -- which is nothing at all.
  • disrupts that trajectory by offering a product or service that actually is not as good as that which companies are already selling.
  • the disruptive innovation extends its benefits to people who, for one reason or another, are unable to consume the original product
  • Instead, we must find areas of nonconsumption to deploy computer-based learning where it will be unencumbered by existing education processes.
  • For computer-based learning to bring about a disruptive transformation, it must be implemented where the alternative is no class at all.
  • online learning is gaining hold in the advanced courses that many schools are unable to offer
