Tämän päivän työelämässä tarvitaan taitoja, joilla pärjätään. Tähän ei riitä pelkästään oman ammattialan osaaminen vaan tarvitaan myöskin muunlaista osaamista. Tällaista on esimerkiksi sosiaalisen median hyödyntäminen.

Toimin toisen asteen ammatillisena opettajana tieto- ja viestintätekniikan perustutkinnossa (datanomi). Uuden opetussuunnitelman myötä tuli myöskin vaatimus sosiaalisen median osaamisesta ja opettamisesta.

perustutkinnon suorittanut kykenee seuraamaan jatkuvasti muuttuvan alan kehitysvirtauksia ja kehittymään työssään niiden mukaisesti sekä osallistumaan työyhteisön kehittämiseen

you have to demonstrate life-long learning, ability to switch jobs, be certified by multiple authorities and effectively becoming someone who evaluates the learning done by others.

It is evident that digitally distributed learning environments through mobile devices will be more scalable, more effective, more comprehensive, more social and more immersive than traditional physical class rooms and centralized locations for schools.

Mobile is about to liberate us from the walls and single point of access to content and resources.

We move from just-in-case learning (memorization) to just-in-time learning (interaction), where the real-time web combined with a mobile link enables contextual information to be readily accessible.

The whole world available in this manner through mobiles then becomes our 6th sense.

Through cloud-based mobile devices the global mind is effectively an extension of our minds – turning our minds from single brains to interconnected clouds.

Open Educational Resources (OER) are defined as “materials used to support education that may be freely accessed, reused, modified and shared by anyone” (Downes, 2011). Open Educational Practices (OEP) are practices which “support the production, use and reuse of high quality OER through institutional policies, which promote innovative pedagogical models, and respect and empower learners as co-producers on their lifelong learning path.” (ICDE, 2011). Open Communication is reciprocal and respectful exchange which contributes to social presence in online learning (Gunawardena & Zittle, 1997), and the development of intercultural awareness and competence in language learning.

Learning is not related to meeting the requirements set by someone else, but is motivated and expressed through personal situational needs and aspirations.

We are leaving behind the Western preoccupation with the autonomous individual and begin to appreciate the importance of social processes and interdependence.

The primary learning asset for a knowledge worker is the interactive, reflective practice. The network is also a means for signalling: making own learning not only visible to oneself, but also to others, thus creating a platform for comments, conversation and even formal accreditation.
