  • 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?

  • 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
  • Learning now occurs in a variety of ways – through communities of practice, personal networks, and through completion of work-related tasks.

      PLN's or PLE's are valuable ways to learn!

  • 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."

Half an Hour: The Future of Online Learning: Ten Years On - 0 views

  •  
    "The development of new technology continues to have an impact on learning. While on the one hand, new technology allows schools and instructors to offer learning in new ways, educators nonetheless continue to face limitations imposed by technology, and sometimes the lack of technology. While access to the internet has increased greatly over the last decade, some schools continue to experience bandwidth shortages and most schools do not have enough computers for every student. Yet, this is changing, and the pace of this change will continue to accelerate."

Measuring 1:1 Results -- THE Journal - 0 views

  • Staff development was a big issue.
  • Before the 1:1 rollout we spent at least six months on staff development. Going from 30 kids in a room opening textbooks to 30 kids opening computers is a significant shift.
  • Four years later we're still not there yet but we've definitely made progress. Getting to 100 percent is going to take a while.

    "When you move an entire district into a digital environment a lot of things change. What doesn't change is the fact that everything revolves around academic achievement."

Developing Questions for Gallery Walk to Engage Higher Order Thinking - 0 views

  •  
    Gallery Walk involves preparing questions based around a lecture's central concept, issue, or debate. The wording of the question depends on the desired learning skill or level of abstraction. A variety of questions can be used but the technique seems to work best with higher order questions relating to analysis, evaluation, and synthesis.
