innovative learning designs | teaching & learning for the 21st century - 3 views

  •  
    This is a blog entry report of a webinar in which the presenters discussed using technology to transform learning. "It empowers students to use the tool to access information and engage in the creation of a new product. Fisher emphasized the need to shift to student-centered work; the student is the producer rather than consumer. To make this happen learners need ample opportunities with authentic tasks in alternative instructional contexts." There are lots of suggestions for hardware and apps, with links to the ideas and resources discussed.

Digital Learning: What to Know in 2020 | Schoology - 5 views

  • Digital learning is meant to enhance learning, not simply continue it via a digital means.
  • The reason being the LMS is not just another tool; it often represents a cultural shift
  • 97% of which were from the United States
  • ...30 more annotations...
  • The data clearly reveals that our respondents overwhelmingly agree that digital learning positively impacts students and teachers.
  • In short, digital learning can enhance learning experiences, save teachers time, enable teachers to better tailor learning to student needs, aid in tracking student progress, provide transparency into the learning process for all stakeholders, and much more.
  • we’ve identified 10 key insights from our survey that provide some clarity into the current state of digital learning.
  • professional development.
  • digital citizenship programs
  • helping to address internet safety issues—teacher’s #1 digital citizenship concern.
  • Twitter
  • professionally
  • earning management system (LMS)
  • Both personalized and individualized learning are considered to be the most effective types of differentiated learning.
  • Social Media
  • debate about the role of mobile devices in the classroom rages
  • winner
  • emerging
  • mobile devices are being incorporated into digital learning more frequently than ever
  • Obstacles
  • lack of a digitized curriculum,
  • ineffective professional development and a lack of parent involvement
  • lack of parental involvement or understanding as a challenge has jumped from the #7 challenge all the way to #3
  • Digital learning takes many forms—from barely blended learning to gamified, mastery learning
  • Schoology conducted a landmark K-12 study called The State of Digital Learning.
  • As you can see, their #1 challenge is providing relevant and effective PD.
  • Many education professionals agree that ongoing instructional coaching is one of the most effective forms of professional development.
  • This year, we’re excited that nearly 70% of respondents now use the same LMS for professional development as in the classroom
  • I
  • nterestingly, schools and districts in which LMS usage is mandated are the most effective at enabling collaboration.
  • The data that comes to mind is the fact the majority of PD isn't modeling instructional best practices and that has to change.
  • From personalized learning to social media and coding in the classroom, the education landscape is being fertilized by technology and will continue to grow.
  • In fact, the data suggests that merely providing students with access to devices doesn't necessarily lead to better outcomes. But the thoughtful integration of technology to enable students to actively engage with ideas and their peers does enhance the learning experience. It's a nuanced and strategic challenge that grapples with countless tangible and abstract variables—devices, software, classroom practices, professional development, and collaboration among the many stakeholders just to name a few.

    A recent article by Lauren Davis in the Schoology (LMS) website that unpacks a survey of 16000+, mostly USA teachers, about the impact of digital learning. It includes some interesting insights into enablers and barriers for DLE. A good starting point for the 523 Assessment 3 environmental scan.

Using digital tools to connect learners: Present and future scenarios for citizenship 2.0 - 0 views

  •  
    The concepts of digital citizenship and citizenship 2.0 are particularly relevant in the context of globalisation and the knowledge economy. The most recent technology standards for students published by ISTE enshrine a major category for digital citizenship (ISTE, 2007). "Digital citizenship" is now being dubbed as "citizen 2.0" and in the simplest terms it refers to the ability to participate in society online and to use technology appropriately. Digital citizenship represents capacity, belonging, and the potential for political and economic engagement in society in the information age (O‟Brien, 2008). Digital citizens practice conscientious use of technology, demonstrate responsible use of information, and maintain a positive attitude to learning with technology (ISTE 2007 cited in Richards, 2010). The affordances of the recent raft of web 2.0 technologies - sharing, collaborating, networking, customising and personalization enable new forms of civic participation which are changing existing social relations (Punie & Cabrera, 2006). Social communication technologies offer new channels for political engagement, contacting officials, and discussing issues. The network effects or benefits of bringing people together online exceed the satisfaction gained by individual participants - creating what economists call "positive externalities" or spill over benefits.

What is digital fluency? - karen spencer - 0 views

  • Crucially, the outcome of being digitally fluent relates to issues of responsibility, equity and access. We all need to be able to fully participate in a digitally-enabled education system and in an increasingly digitised society. If we work with fluency in the way we use technologies, we are able to keep ourselves safe online and take full advantage of life chance opportunities such as being able to apply for work, manage our finances, or be part of our local community).
  • Being ‘digitally literate’ means acquiring the skills to make and create meaning, and select technologies to do so. Being fluent requires competencies and capabilities that go beyond the skill level. Someone who is digitally fluent not only selects tools and knows what to do with them, but can explain why they work in the way they do and how they might adapt what they do if the context were to change.

Attention, and Other 21st-Century Social Media Literacies (EDUCAUSE Review) | EDUCAUSE - 1 views

  • Attention is the fundamental building block for how individuals think, how humans create tools and teach each other to use them, how groups socialize, and how people transform civilizations.
  • Participation is a broader literacy.
  • We are seeing a change in their participation in society—yet this does not mean that they automatically understand the rhetorics of participation, something that is particularly important for citizens.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • The whole notion of the public sphere is that we have sufficiently well-educated citizens who are free to access information about workings of the state so that they will be able to govern themselves. Implicit in the notion that ordinary people can shape policies of state is the assumption that they know how to communicate their opinions in concert with other citizens in a productive manner—a literacy of participation.
    • Judy O'Connell
       
      So we have a need for digital citizenship, and policies that help shape a culture of participation.
  • Just as the print technologies and literacies shaped the Enlightenment, the social media technologies and literacies will shape the cognitive, social, and cultural environments of the 21st century.
