  • 70% of the new jobs recently created in the U.S. are positions that require interactions between people and involve judgment, insight, and collaboration.

      This is so interesting. I think that students need to learn technology to be sucessful in their lives because technology is only going to grow, so it would be niave to think that we don't need to teach technology in schools.
  • another aspect of a social learning network is the potential to build global awareness among students.

      Students could use skype to achieve this.

      I had no thought about the language barrier as a complication. It would be interesting to see what other socail networking tools have the ability to translate.
  • Consider what tools, when implemented together in a holistic and thoughtful manner, can encourage collaboration, spark creativity, teach 21st-century skills, and address the needs and challenges of different socioeconomic environments.
  • Consider the following questions
    • Kate Castle
      Kate Castle on 13 Jul 11
       
      These are five really crucial questions. I suspect too they are very different approaches to teaching than what has been typical in the past.
  • what tools best fulfill the needs of each school and district’s environment
  • What should be encouraged is the next level of communication—collaboration.
  • create, invent, and showcase their work
  • as many as 70% of the new jobs recently created in the U.S. are positions that require interactions between people and involve judgment, insight, and collaboration.

      Students need to be aware in a different way than before. Learning is no longer a passive activity. This new interactive stance fosters the skills of judgement, insight, and collaboration that employers are looking for.
  • the framework suggests three overarching student outcomes, including life and career skills; learning and innovation skills; and information, media, and technology skills. Ultimately, the Partnership is advocating for educators and students to consider the implication of skills beyond the basic subject areas that are critical to success in the 21st century.

      It makes me happy to see that it is obvious to people that producing a literate student involves more than teaching him or her the core subjects. Learning how to learn, meta-learning (has anyone coined that one yet?) is THE indispensable skill of the 21st century it seems. If I take nothing from this class, it will be that.
  • free, online email service for K–12

      This is a cool site. Worth looking into. Connects educators who want to collaborate on classroom projects, great and interesting forums, and email accounts for kids to use for school.

      Good to know this exists.
  • to match students with other students around the world
  • Educators can choose to utilize Web 2.0 tools
  • preparing them for working in a global marketplace
  • His students take part in a global newscast, featuring students from the U.S., Japan, Russia, Belize, and several other countries.

      What a great idea! Very cool.
  • narrowing down which combination of tools would be best with the curriculum and pedagogy for the class
    • Kate Castle
      Kate Castle on 13 Jul 11
       
      Each class will be unique in its abilities and needs and having knowledge of a wide varitety of tools makes teachers able to customize web tools to best serve their classrooms.

  • discovering online possibilities is a skill
    • Kate Castle
      Kate Castle on 13 Jul 11
       
      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

      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. . .

      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 on 13 Jul 11
       
      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.

    This site has taught me the endless options of tool available for educators. In alphabetical order, tools are listed for educators to search through, and find tools they could apply to their classroom. Links to the tools with information to each tool is available at their fingertips. It would be impossible for any educator to search this site and not find a tool that is interesting or applicable to their subject.
