Raising Children in the Digital Age: An Interview with Lynn Schofield Clark (Part One) - 1 views

  • The preteens and teens in my study were concerned about risks that they related to identity: what you might call dissing, drama, and disregard (or being ignored).

      She hit the nail on the head!  These are the very things that concern my daughter who is 13.

A New Culture of Learning: An Interview with John Seely Brown and Douglas Thomas (Part ... - 0 views

  • users are not so much creating content as they are constantly reshaping context
    • cherylanneburris
       
      This is such an "ah-ha" moment for me and highlights the contrast between Learning 1.0 and Learning 2.0 - Learning 1.0 = Creating Content while Learning 2.0 = Reshaping Context.

Minds on Fire: Open Education, the Long Tail, and Learning 2.0 (EDUCAUSE Review) | EDUC... - 22 views

  • world has become increasingly “flat,”
    • cherylanneburris
       
      Our world has also flattened by our lack of knowledge depth.  We are expected to know a little about a lot and what we don't know be able to find by technological means.  Is it enough to have a knowledge base that is a mile wide and an inch deep?
  • well-educated workforce with the requisite competitive skills
    • cherylanneburris
       
      I wonder how this though impacts enrollment in technological school.  I ask only because of a recent conversation with an electrician that came to install a new light fixture for me who commented that it is harder to find younger people interested in the vocational trades.  In fact, the average age for the company he worked for was around 38.
  • The latest evolution of the Internet, the so-called Web 2.0, has blurred the line between producers and consumers of content and has shifted attention from access to information toward access to other people

      Steve Case, of early AOL fame, was the commencement speaker for UNC's graduation where he tweeted a picture of the class standing after he finished his speech (cool use of social networking especially since he sent it to Duke).  Here he commented that people have multiple jobs and multiple careers so they should keep learning and be flexible. He also recently gave an interview about the internet and its future and offers interesting insight into the potential of Web 2.0 in education.  The article discusses that the only thing holding back the 2.0 revolution is issues with the infrastructure.  His interview can be found here: http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2013/05/29/2nd-great-internet-revolution-is-coming-aol-founder-says/

      When passion is injected into learning it no longer becomes a chore or a job but an experience.
