Student Data, Algorithms, Ideology, and Identity-less-ness - 0 views

  • These ideologies permeate new digital learning technologies. They reward the “roaming autodidact” while always judging others as inferior. (A lack of "intrinsic motivation," for example.)
  • We can help students understand their learning history without knowing their identity.”
  • What happens to bodies – particularly bodies of marginalized people – when they're submittted to a new knowledge regime that claims to be identity-less, that privileges identity-less-ness?

Choosing to Leave Private School for a Self-Directed Journey | GenDIY - 3 views

  • Nick initiated this experiment to convince others at his school that students need space to drive their own learning as part of their education
  • "By explaining something to a peer, synthesizing and concretizing vague concepts, it strengthens my confidence in the mastery of a topic."
  • We can go much farther, and get there far more efficiently, with self-paced study.... We can often reach more ambitious goals if we are given the latitude to set those goals for ourselves.

Sugata Mitra | School in the Cloud | TED.com - 2 views

  • The "Hole in the Wall" project demonstrates that, even in the absence of any direct input from a teacher, an environment that stimulates curiosity can cause learning through self-instruction and peer-shared knowledge.
  •  
    I wonder if 'ask Mr YouTube' comes under the category of peer-shared knowledge? I think the gaming community might think it does if the industry of 'let's play' videos is any indication. I wonder then if this industry might also come under the category of student-generated learning?

Readers absorb less on Kindles than on paper, study finds | Books | The Guardian - 0 views

  • The researchers suggest that "the haptic and tactile feedback of a Kindle does not provide the same support for mental reconstruction of a story as a print pocket book does".
  • She and her fellow researchers found that "students who read texts in print scored significantly better on the reading comprehension test than students who read the texts digitally".
  • a new European research network doing empirical research on the effects of digitisation on text reading. The network says that "research shows that the amount of time spent reading long-form texts is in decline, and due to digitisation, reading is becoming more intermittent and fragmented", with "empirical evidence indicat[ing] that affordances of screen devices might negatively impact cognitive and emotional aspects of reading". They hope their work will improve scientific understanding of the implications of digitisation, thus helping to cope with its impact.

  • "We need to provide research and evidence-based knowledge to publishers on what kind of devices (iPad, Kindle, print) should be used for what kind of content; what kinds of texts are likely to be less hampered by being read digitally, and which might require the support of paper,"

Social Media and the 'Spiral of Silence' | Pew Research Center's Internet & American Li... - 2 views

  • A major insight into human behavior from pre-internet era studies of communication is the tendency of people not to speak up about policy issues in public—or among their family, friends, and work colleagues—when they believe their own point of view is not widely shared. This tendency is called the “spiral of silence.
  • Not only were social media sites not an alternative forum for discussion, social media users were less willing to share their opinions in face-to-face settings.
  • The traditional view of the spiral of silence is that people choose not to speak out for fear of isolation

  • People also say they would speak up, or stay silent, under specific conditions.
  • Their confidence in how much they know.
  • The intensity of their opinions.
  • Their level of interest.
  •  
    Social media (network learning) doesn't always change everything. Again perhaps the fear of being "wrong" in public is factor? Being different is hard
  •  
    I found this article really interesting - particularly the hierarchy of relationships in which people were comfortable sharing their views - family, then friends, then colleagues and then facebook or twitter. To me, this suggests that discussions are most likely to occur in situations where people are confident of being accepted regardless of their views on an individual topic. This has interesting implications for teaching - and links in with some of the literature on creating "safe" learning environments. However, I wonder whether we need more of an emphasis on building/strengthening relationships between students - and what implications this has for group sizes, and how we manage learners.
