10 Principles for the Future of Learning » Edurati Review - 1 views

  • discovering online possibilities is a skill
    • Kate Castle
       
      Amen to that. It is most certainly a skill.
  • learning strategy shifts from a focus on information as such to judgment concerning reliable information, from memorizing information to how to find reliable sources. In short, from learning that to learning how, from content to process
    • Kate Castle
       
      Just what Lynn and I were talking about! The learning is now about navigating the internet and interacting with information. It's learning a new culture.
  • In secondary schools and higher education, many administrators and individual teachers have been moved to limit use of collectively and collaboratively crafted knowledge sources, most notably Wikipedia, for course assignments or to issue quite stringent guidelines for their consultation and reference.26 This is a catastrophically anti-intellectual reaction to a knowledge-making, global phenomenon of epic proportions. . .
    • Kate Castle
       
      Yeah! I agree completely! Love me some Wikipedia.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • The power of ten working interactively will almost invariably outstrip the power of one looking to beat out the other nine.
  • the creation of culture
    • Kate Castle
       
      Absolutely. Feels like a new culture to me!
  • freely available to all.
  • Individualized learning tends overwhelmingly to be hierarchical: one learns from the teacher or expert, on the basis overwhelmingly of copyright-protected publications bearing the current status of knowledge. Networked learning is at least peer-to-peer and more robustly many-to-many.
  • together.
    • Kate Castle
       
      key word...
  • Learning is lifelong
    • Kate Castle
       
      omg I love this post. I think we worship at the same altar.

Social Study Shows Social Networkgin a Boon for Education - 0 views

  •  
    This Wiki not only offers great insight through a video included called "Did you know 2.0" but through other quotes and references. Although it's a litte dated, 2006, it's amazing how its easy to see the progression from then to now five years later.
  •  
    Persuasive article using statistics to demonstrate the reason why we should be including social networking in our schools and for our students. Love the example of posting a paper for parents, peers and teachers to critique so students take it more seriously.

    This is a great resourceful website that everyone should keep bookmarked! It has a list of over 50 links to Web 2.0 tools that are good for education with a 1-5 sentence blurb about what they are capable of and how they can be used. They are also broken down into subcategories, document sharing, discussion forums, etc. If I had a highlighter tool I would have highlighted the CollaborizeClassroom tool because I have found that very interesting and my next link gives some more description about how and why it is used.
