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.

  • 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.

10 Principles for the Future of Learning » Edurati Review - 3 views

    • Daphne O'Donnell
       
      Students are beginning to use technology younger and younger.
    • Daphne O'Donnell
       
      Students should be taught about using others work and copyright. Also, how to find valid and credible sources.
    • Daphne O'Donnell
       
      Made me think of professional development and how there is no learning boundaries anymore.

      Interesting to me that even as we search the web we are always learning and expanding our knowledge.
    • Daphne O'Donnell
       
      World wide learning. No boundaries for education, This article has similar points related to the NETS Standards for Teachers
    • Daphne O'Donnell
       
      Students need to learn about copyright and giving credit to others.
  •  
    Learn about the role the internet is playing in transforming education to shared and interactive learning. This article suggests 10 principals as "fundamental to the future of learning institutions." This article states that we are connected now through technology, and this is forming us into lifelong self-learners. In addtion, it talks about the credibility of where we seek information. Come read about how technology is changing education.

    Number 2 in the list caught my eye because I remember memorizing so much information when I was in school. Whereas today, the process is stressed and simply knowing how to find the information needed is the key.

Love Zoho for students to work together on a presentation on a period in art history, or a study of the life and work of an artist. They could even create a group presentation with artist statement...

Thinking Machine / Think Social Networking for Education - 1 views

  • National School Boards' Assocation says that Social Networking technologies should be adapted for use in the classroom.
    • Andrew Tucker
       
      These facts are very interesting and I had no idea that this was the case! These statistics prove that we, as teaching professionals, cannot ignore the impact that social networking has on the kids that we will be teaching. They are going to be using these tools and using them a lot, so we should reach them on their level.
    • Daphne O'Donnell
       
      I'm surprised by the fact of 50% of students talk online about hw. Honestly, I thought it would be less than that.
  • Facebook - a social utility that connects people with friends and others who work, study and live around them.
    • Andrew Tucker
       
      Everyone knows my love of Facebook by now. I really think Facebook can be used in so many ways: groups, posting school work as statuses, posting links to websites and articles that can be used and shared, etc.
    • Lesley Maurer
       
      Facebook is such a widely used social networking tool, I think you would be very hard-pressed to find someone who does not know how to use it. Kids can be steered in the direction of using it for educational and introspection purposes which they probably didn't consider. I love the idea of creating a page for a book character.
    • Daphne O'Donnell
       
      Andrew, I like Facebook too. And I think that students and adults alike figure out how to use it with ease. I just worry about the over exposure for younger students, for instance the advertisements and so on.
    • Victoria Steele
       
      I think there is a ton of potential for Facebook to be used in the classroom but like Daphne said, could it lead to overexposure or to unwanted sites/people/ideas that are out there? Maybe somehow setting up very private settings would work best for teacher-student collaboration.

      Video with quick flashes of information to get you thinking about the future of education and the world.

      Hard to include Club Penguin as a social networking site. My daughters used it when they were little and were more interested in the game than the limited networking aspect.
  •  
    Wiki based on statistics and information supporting use of social networking, and internet use in education. Although a little dated (2006) it's clear to see how things have progressed as expected through today. "Did you know 2.0" is a video worth the time.
