Tip 114 - Audio QR Codes - 1 views

  •  
    "Imagine students' artwork hanging in your school's hallway and beside each masterpiece is a QR code. When parents, students, and other teachers scan the code using a mobile device, they hear the student telling about themselves and the relevance of their art... Or what about a QR code in the back of a library book that allows you to hear a student's review of the book? Or a QR code sent home to parents that allows them to listen to their 1st grader reading or telling a story?"

  • Over the last twenty years, technology has reorganized how we live, how we communicate, and how we learn.
  • Formal education no longer comprises the majority of our learning.
    • Stephen Bujno
       
      What then should be the focus of formal education?
    • Rick Lanciano
       
      great question
  • Valid sources of knowledge - Do we gain knowledge through experiences? Is it innate (present at birth)? Do we acquire it through thinking and reasoning?
    • Rick Lanciano
       
      What does the group think of this?

  • Interpretivism (similar to constructivism) states that reality is internal, and knowledge is constructed.
  • These theories, however, were developed in a time when learning was not impacted through technology
  • to try to keep abreast of the surprising, novel, messy, obtrusive, recurring events

      There is a real connection between learning in different ways and the ability to work in different fields. Sounds like the Liberal Arts??
  • The “half-life of knowledge”
  • unrelated fields

  • Technology is altering (rewiring) our brains. The tools we use define and shape our thinking.
    • Sean Christ
       
      Digital "immigrants" are trying to teach digital "natives". This is a major challenge.
  • A central tenet of most learning theories is that learning occurs inside a person. Even social constructivist views, which hold that learning is a socially enacted process, promotes the principality of the individual (and her/his physical presence – i.e. brain-based) in learning. These theories do not address learning that occurs outside of people (i.e. learning that is stored and manipulated by technology). They also fail to describe how learning happens within organizations
  • Many learners will move into a variety of different, possibly unrelated fields over the course of their lifetime.

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

      It is very interesting how fast things become obsolete these days.

    "Editor's Note: This is a milestone article that deserves careful study. Connectivism should not be con fused with constructivism. George Siemens advances a theory of learning that is consistent with the needs of the twenty first century. His theory takes into account trends in learning, the use of technology and networks, and the diminishing half-life of knowledge. It combines relevant elements of many learning theories, social structures, and technology to create a powerful theoretical construct for learning in the digital age."
