Most of us grew up during a century that was, in many ways, defined by it’s machines. We identify washing clothes with a clothes washing machine, lawn care with a lawn mower, and getting to the store with an automobile. So, as we witness the emergence of new information and communication technologies, which many of us could not have imagined at the beginning of our careers, it is natural that, as we try to envision “21st century” education, we should try to paint that picture with brush strokes about technology.

My objection is obvious. This suggests a belief that laptops should be used to enhance traditional schooling functions (be quiet, pay attention, and take notes). To me, this is a waste of money, though I'll certainly be taking notes on my iPad at ISTE. My preference is for student to use ICT to interact, build, produce, experiment, discover, and communicate (lot of overlap there).

Conferences are setting up social networks as a best practice. As these handy sites go mainstream, effective use of such networks seems to be increasingly an important understanding for students as behavior on these sites is very different from the "social" social networks in their personal lives. -
Excellent article for conference organizers from David Warlick. He has some great recommendations and links to the works from a conference in California this week. Conferences are setting up social networks as a best practice. As these handy sites go mainstream, effective use of such networks seems to be increasingly an important understanding for students as behavior on these sites is very different from the "social" social networks in their personal lives.

Bottom line is that we will see learners becoming responsible to their peers, audiences, and communities for their learning. ..and that responsibility will not be based on a measure of their learning (how much or how well), but on what they have learned and what they can do with what they’ve learned.

In a pre-life-long Learning environment, the task of education was to teach all of us the knowledge and skills that we would need to know and to know how to do to become employed. After our schooling, we got a job, and kept that job for 35 years. We did some learning “on the job”, but not for the sake of a changing environment. It was for the sake of our job. It was considered part of the job.
