I remain very, very concerned with the notion that all we have to do is let the kids connect with the world -- just like they do on Facebook or MySpace -- and the kids will learn. There's a fallacy there, and my experience with how much really deep teaching of digital ethics we've had to do at SLA to counter all that the kids come in the door thinking about the digital world.

is there much of an honest discussion of just how hard implementation of these ideas actually is.

And the problem is that our entire structure has to change to make it easier. You can't teach 150 kids a day this way... you can't have traditional credit hours... you have to find new ways to look at your classroom. Everything from school design to teacher contracts to class size and teacher load to curriculum and assessment -- everything we do in schools -- has to be on the table for change if we are to achieve the kind of schools that video is speaking about. The only thing that shouldn't be on the table, and that the video actually hints that it should be, is the need for teachers in their day to day lives-- the adults who can make a deep profound impact in kids' lives.

"If we just change it all up, the kids will all suddenly just start learning like crazy" when that misses several points -- 1) we still have an insanely anti-intellectual culture that is so much more powerful than schools. 2) Deep learning is still hard, and our culture is moving away from valuing things that are hard to do. 3) We still need teachers to teach kids thoughtfulness, wisdom, care, compassion, and there's an anti-teacher rhetoric that, to me, undermines that video's message.

We cannot pretend these ideas "save" our schools, they create different schools -- better ones, I believe -- but very, very different ones, and that's the piece I see missing.

I started podcasting four months ago when I launched the first episode of Lifehack Live as part of Lifehack.org's podcast series. Although I'd been listening to podcasts for a couple of years already, and had some experience behind the deck in a recording studio (granted, it was 14 years ago), I really had no idea how to produce a podcast that people would want to listen to. (Some of you might say I still don't know how to do that….)

If you don't keep your mind open to new experiences, you are in the way of learning. If you take more than you give, you are in the way of learning. If you use your voice to tear apart learning metaphors, destroy other people's ideas, or make personal attacks, however passive aggressive, you are in the way of learning.

The pace of technological change has challenged historical notions of what counts as knowledge. Dave Cormier describes an alternative to the traditional notion of knowledge as defined by experts who decide what enters the canon and thus what is students should learn. In the place of the expert-centered pedagogical planning and publishing cycle, Cormier suggests a rhizomatic model of learning. In the rhizomatic model, knowledge is negotiated, and the learning experience is a social as well as a personal knowledge creation process with mutable goals and constantly negotiated premises.

I can say without hesitation that all my traditional educational experiences combined, everything from grade school to grad school, have not taught me as much about learning and being a learner as blogging has. My ability to easily consume other people's ideas, share my own in return, and communicate with other educators around the world has led me to dozens of smart, passionate teachers from whom I learn every day. It's also led me to technologies and techniques that leverage this newfound network in ways that look nothing like what's happening in traditional classrooms.

In many schools and even states, it's been, rather, a movement to block and bust: no blogs, no cell phones, no IM. We take away the powerful social technologies our kids are already using to learn and, in doing so, tell them their own tools are irrelevant. Or, instead of using the complex and challenging phenomenon of a site such as Wikipedia to teach the realities of navigating information in this new world, we prohibit its use. In fact, at this writing, the U.S. legislature is in the process of deciding whether schools and libraries should have access to any of the potential of the Read/Write Web at all. When you read this, blogs and wikis and podcasts (and much more) may be things that students (and teachers) can access and create only from off-campus.

I wonder whether, twenty-five or fifty years from now, when four or five billion people are connecting online, the real story of these times won't be the more global tests and transformations these technologies offered. How, as educators and learners, did we respond? Did we embrace the potentials of a connected, collaborative world and put our creative imaginations to work to reenvision our classrooms? Did we use these new tools to develop passionate, fearless, lifelong learners? Did we ourselves become those learners?

Storycaching is a proof-of-concept project combining GPS units, iPods, and laptop computers to create, store and share audio stories where absolute place is important. By using a GPS to locate a specific point on the earth and then listening to a podcast specific to that area, a new dimension in communication is created. Also, an artifact, trinket, or other symbolic object can be cached at that exact site adding a compelling relevance to the story. The experience could even include the podcast guiding the listener to the cache from the beginning point noted by the GPS. Once combined, the iPod and the GPS will recreate concept of sharing stories both in the capabilities of the storyteller and the expectations of the listener. via Brenda Muench

booklet online web2.0Tools school teachers project

shared by Allison Burrell on 03 Mar 11 - No Cached

Allison Burrell on 03 Mar 11

I'm excited about the possibilities this site might have for our school, especially as we're trying to be "greener" in our project choices. The booklets seem very simple to create (you're able to add images, files, backgrounds, text, video, embed code, webpages, music and your own code), are saved in the cloud, and can be published in MANY different ways, all without having to print a single sheet of paper! (actually the print function isn't available yet, but they're working on it.) For students: "Create reports, project portfolios, presentations, book reviews, papers, and more. Leverage your expertise with Internet technologies by adding multiple content elements to your project. Your teacher will appreciate the dynamic and engaging experience." For teachers: "Engage students with class newsletters, creative writing exercises, and school projects using simplebooklet. No more lost reports or "I'm almost done" excuses. A simplebooklet is stored in the cloud so you can always find it, even the half completed ones. Simplebooklet is based on the middlespot architecture, so authoring a booklet is a snap. Simple add tools allow a student to quickly upload almost anything to their booklet page. Then drag and drop tools allow for easy formatting and styling. Since each element is saved as a separately, no single element will take down the entire booklet."

Abstract: "This paper addresses current definitions of quality in online assessment and examines emerging expectations of what constitutes appropriate online assessment. A case study is presented of a Web-based assessment framework that is both interactive and product-oriented and involves learners in making contributions to course resources through learning activities. It is proposed that an interactive participatory model of assessment utilises the communicative features of technology while affording a motivating and authentic assessment experience."
