Technological determinism / Neil Postman | KrustelKram's Adventures in Online Learning - 0 views

  •  
    "Every teacher should begin every course making a little speech to the students, that would go along these lines: Hey look I am a fallible human being so during the duration of this course I am bound to make lots of mistakes. I will say things that are untrue. I will give opinions that are unfounded.Your job as a student is to pay a lot of attention and try to identify when I made a mistake. And then try to show me and your classmates where I made that mistake." Neil Postman "Textbooks present facts and information...and teach kids that subjects are boring, when in fact they are not."

What does digital mean? - 0 views

  • digital Traditionally, digital means the use of numbers and the term comes from digit, or finger. Today, digital is synonymous with computer.  Digital Means Original The 0s and 1s of digital data mean more than than just on and off. They mean perfect copying. When information, music, voice and video are turned into binary digital form, they can be electronically manipulated, preserved and regenerated perfectly at high speed. The millionth copy of a computer file is exactly the same as the original. While this continually drives the software industry crazy protecting its copyrights, it is nevertheless a major advantage of digital processing.  (http://www.techweb.com/encyclopedia/)

How MOOCs Could Meet the Challenge of Providing a Global Education | MIT Technology Review - 0 views

  •  
    "Though its first courses will be in English, the school is now thinking about offering a civil engineering course designed for Francophone regions in East and Central Africa, according to an edX spokesman. As MOOCs cast their eye to the developing world, very minor tweaks matter a great deal, such as the ability to allow students to download, rather than only stream course videos."

      Sort of an outdated reference, isn't it?
    • Laurie Niestrath
       
      I'd agree, but in some parts of the world, it is still a viable form of technology, compact and easy
  • four principles that you should apply to thought or action that involves information and communications technology
  • bias,
  • ...32 more annotations...
  • vendor bias has now got a firm grip on much of the public discourse about information and communications technology
  • be sceptical about assertions of the value of technology coming either from those who want to sell it to you or from their surrogates in political life
  • the suppression of research reports or evaluative studies that undermine the thesis that technology improves everything.
    • Laurie Niestrath
       
      Technology can make one feel very dissatisfied with life. When you know something better is out there, do you pine away for it feeling like it will make your life oh, so much easier?
  • bullshit
  • When we see a concept everywhere it is easy to suspend our critical faculties and assume it must be right
  • breadth
  • think broadly about technology in teaching and learning.
  • Technology always involves people and their social systems
  • Remember that there are many technologies: books, blackboard, film, radio, television, programmed learning and so on. The Internet has not made them obsolete
  • starts with teaching and attempts to use technology to expand the range and impact of the teacher
  • the remote classroom approach
  • the rest of the world had a different tradition
  • started on the other side of the coin, with learning, and used technology to create a good learning environment for the student wherever and whenever the student wanted to study.
  • We must strive for balance on a number of dimensions.
  • When we use technology are we using it to enhance learning or to enhance teaching?
  • Dimension number two means seeking balance in answer to the question: teaching and learning for what?
  • Open University students have an extensive range of online facilities available. Which ones do they use?
  • they like using the web for informational and administrative transactions.
  • communication between students
  • Online technologies can, of course, be useful for learning
  • two key virtues.
  • support active learning experiences
  • devising good active learning experiences is expensive because it requires lots of work by the teachers
  • notably by destroying old jobs and creating new ones.

      Please tell me something new. This is an idea that has perpetuated itself for centuries!The cotton gin destroyed the need to hand pick and clean cotton, It created the opportunity for the enslaved to have yet, another job.

      I hope you are being "cheeky" when you so easily type the words: "enslaved," "job," and "opportunity" in the same sentence. This clip and the full documentary may shed some light on the topic: http://video.pbs.org/video/2192491729
  • The best way to reach learners is to use technology that the learner already has.
    • Laurie Niestrath
       
      Okay, I'd agree with this one. Start where you are and move on. Too many institutions moan over the lack of "technology." If you have a computer, you have so many social media resources at your disposal IF you know how to access, use and apply them!
  • technology more for activities associated with their studies
  • rather than for the mainline work of studying course content. T
  • Why should we want to use technology? How should we use technology for learning and teaching? What are the basic principles? Who can benefit most from educational technology? Where should we apply it? Which technologies are best? More generally, how do you make judgements about the many claims that are made for technology?
  • illiteracy
  • In both cases technology is changing society, notably by destroying old jobs and creating new ones.
  • vendor bias

      The most effective softwares are the once licensed under Creative Commons and are open source. This gives great power and independence to institutions and individuals. It truly IS the way to avoid the pervasive pitfalls that software tycoons throw education in (costly updates, upgrade caps etc. ).
