In my opinion this is very true, there are few if any directives on how teachers should be facing the changes in the 21st Century, everybody is still focused on hardware rather than cloud computing and web 2.0.

Yes - it is a focus on the technology - as educaltors the focus should be on the pedagogy

This isn't just about online learning! How many of these roles do you fulfill as a teacher, "facilitator," or admin? How successful have professional development efforts been in getting teachers to try out new roles? How successful have they been in getting kids to try out some of these roles? What other roles are there for students?

Teachers have to expect and recognize that they can’t just say ‘Google something,’ because some of our students still don’t know what that means

Over the last twenty years, technology has reorganized how we live, how we communicate, and how we learn.
-
I aggree that as teachers we need to realize that technology has changed instruction and the way that our students learn and the way that we learn and instruct.
-
Technology has always changed the way we live. How did we respond to changes in the past? One thought is that some institutions, some businesses disappeared, while others, who took advantage of the new tech, appeared to replace the old. It will happen again and we as educators need to lead the way.
-
With technology our students brains are wired differently and they can multi-task and learn in multiple virtual environments all at once. This should make us think about how we present lessons, structure learning and keep kids engaged.
-
Rubbish. The idea that digital native are adept at multitasking is wrong. They may be doing many things but the quality and depth is reduced. There is a significant body of research to support this. Development of grit and determination are key attributes of successful people. Set and demand high standards. No one plays sport or an instrument because it is easy rather because they can clearly see a link between hard work and pleasure.

Connectivism is the integration of principles explored by chaos, network, and complexity and self-organization theories.
-
Learning and knowledge rests in diversity of opinions. Learning is a process of connecting specialized nodes or information sources. Learning may reside in non-human appliances. Capacity to know more is more critical than what is currently known Nurturing and maintaining connections is needed to facilitate continual learning. Ability to see connections between fields, ideas, and concepts is a core skill. Currency (accurate, up-to-date knowledge) is the intent of all connectivist learning activities. Decision-making is itself a learning process. Choosing what to learn and the meaning of incoming information is seen through the lens of a shifting reality. While there is a right answer now, it may be wrong tomorrow due to alterations in the information climate affecting the decision.

Classrooms which emulate the “fuzziness”

John Seely Brown presents an interesting notion that the internet leverages the small efforts of many with the large efforts of few.
-
The pipe is more important than the content within the pipe. Our ability to learn what we need for tomorrow is more important than what we know today.

To combat the shrinking half-life of knowledge, organizations have been forced to develop new methods of deploying instruction.”

a persisting change in human performance or performance potential…[which] must come about as a result of the learner’s experience and interaction with the world”
-
Learning theories are concerned with the actual process of learning, not with the value of what is being learned.
-
Chaos is the breakdown of predictability, evidenced in complicated arrangements that initially defy order.
-
If the underlying conditions used to make decisions change, the decision itself is no longer as correct as it was at the time it was made.
-
principle that people, groups, systems, nodes, entities can be connected to create an integrated whole.
-
Learning is a process that occurs within nebulous environments of shifting core elements – not entirely under the control of the individual
-
Behaviorism, cognitivism, and constructivism do not attempt to address the challenges of organizational knowledge and transference.
-
The health of the learning ecology of the organization depends on effective nurturing of information flow.
-
This cycle of knowledge development (personal to network to organization) allows learners to remain current in their field through the connections they have formed.
-
This amplification of learning, knowledge and understanding through the extension of a personal network is the epitome of connectivism.

An organizations ability to foster, nurture, and synthesize the impacts of varying views of information is critical to knowledge economy surviva

As knowledge continues to grow and evolve, access to what is needed is more important than what the learner currently possesses.
