Consider for a moment the repercussions,
for example, of helping people in your workplace get up to speed on a new
system implementation.
This
is expensive, of course. But even more problematic, it’s likely that the
classes would be held prior to the implementation, and then people would forget
much of what they learned by the time the implementation occurred
you could
try another scenario, which better fits the way people learn
keep a number of volunteers across the
organization well trained, then provide asynchronous training and performance
support tools for the new system and allow these local volunteers to support
people at their site.
Bandura is the person whom we
can credit with the actual phrase “social learning.”
Schools must regard 100Mbps Broadband not as an opportunity to do existing things faster, but to do new things altogether. These are things that some of our students are doing at home (and occasionally in school) - creating music, animations, sound, music, programming, curating, remixing - that should be given a voice and a place in our schools. this type of work will help support at least four of Hargreaves gateways: Learning to Learn, Assessment for Learning, New Technologies (ICT) and Student Voice.
8 Interesting Examples of Blended Learning

educators hesitant to use the modern tools of today, to stop relying on others and take ownership of their learning and suggests this can be done through developing a personal learning network
educators must take ownership of their learning rather than waiting for/relying on others to provide it.
Teachers do not need to be technology experts to allow students to use it to retrieve information, collaborate, create, and communicate
There is less tolerance for educators who do not believe it is their responsibility to move their teaching out of the past. Those stuck in the past... those who are not developing their own personal learning networks... those not taking ownership for their learning... are doing a great disservice to our students and themselves.
Learning Without Frontiers is a global platform for disruptive thinkers and practitioners from the education, digital media, technology and entertainment sectors who come together to explore how new disruptive technologies can drive radical efficiencies and improvements in learning whilst providing equality of access.
Learning Without Frontiers is a global platform for disruptive thinkers, innovators and practitioners to share knowledge, ideas and experiences about new learning
It requires us to continually reinvent ourselves, to stay on top of where research and practice meet and to balance the desire for easy and structured with messy and self-directed.
are people confusing talking to people online with deep, connected learning?
Personal Learning Networks are one of the three prongs necessary to be a do it yourself learner in today’s world.
If all I do is network I do not shift or grow because I am missing the opportunity to go deep and actually learn by doing. It takes both: Networks and Community. Online, global communities of practice and f2f learning communities in my local context.
those of us who are online learning prefer networks. Networks like we have on Twitter or other electronic spaces where we can share short snips of conversations and where our ideas are met with like minded support and agreement
"Is there value in knowing how to start, lead, implement, empower, and use online communities for the type of collaboration that is going to provide significant shift? The kind where we all bring our best giftings to the table and use them together to create something new and powerful. Are online communities the focus or merely the venue through which we learn?"
