  • The critical task is not finding information or stimuli, but organizing, cataloging, archiving, and developing habits and practices to exercise control over our surfeit of opportunity.
  • How might efforts to curate benefit from the portability and ubiquity of mobile devices? What would a “relevance portfolio” look like, where students catalog their daily encounters with ideas or experiences?
  • the task of the teacher is no longer to collect and distribute, but to empower students to curate their own collections of intellectual resources.

  • Students can collect, organize and annotate web sites on Diigo, books on GoodReads, photos of Flickr, scholarly references on Zotero, music on SoundCloud, and anything and everything on a Tumblr or WordPress blog.
  • Evernote is one of the best apps to start to bridge this gap between the digital and physical.
  • Touch App Creator allows users to organize eBooks, text, images, and web-based content together into web apps hosted on Google Drive.
  • In the spirit of Gardner’s beauty journals, we should aim not just to help students get organized, but to closely and intentionally examine what they read, watch, see, hear, and collect.

    Excellent article- "The critical task is not finding information or stimuli, but organizing, cataloging, archiving, and developing habits and practices to exercise control over our surfeit of opportunity." So we need to help students get organized (a few key tools highlighted here for this) and "closely and intentionally examine what they read, watch, see, hear, and collect."

      parents  more than ever could be key partners in contributing to this new frontier in  learning.  Parent perceptions matter. Their support and influence can smooth the way  for educational technology in schools and help overcome the limitations of  school coffers, without which digital initiatives can stall.

      Defining Terms To ensure parents had a consistent basis for responding to questions  about different types of technology, the survey provided them with these  definitions and examples:  nMobile devices-wireless handheld devices that use Wi-Fi, 3G or 4G to  connect to the Internet, many of which use an operating system such as  iOS, Windows or Android, and can run various types of apps. Examples  include smartphones, tablets, e-readers, and the iPod Touch.  nPortable devices-laptops, notebooks, netbooks, ultrabooks

      Many children are using many different devices-and using them often.  Even some pre-K children are using multiple devices. Smartphones are the  most commonly used mobile device; 43 percent of all children (pre-K-12),  and 60 percent of high school students, use a smartphone. One in three  children (34 percent) use tablets. Children use most devices daily or weekly,  with smartphones the most commonly and frequently used device.

    Some very interesting terms, definitions and thought provoking discussions for us to think about. Is 3.0 the aim of RCHK Tech Vision 2014?
  • Johnny Hogan on 20 May 13
     
    Interesting, however, a number of the key "differences" shown in the table seem a bit contrived. The description of 1.0, and moreso 2.0, seem to be intentionally antiquated and negative. In reality, education is of course changing, thankfully, regardless of what type of numerical moniker is assigned.

      fostering autonomous and self regulated learners: when an instructor does for learners what learners should do for themsleves the learning experience is incomplete. developing capacity for learning and the mindsets needed to be successful learners is a central attribute. We are not only concerend with the epistemological development of learners (knowing stuff) - we traget ontological development (being a certain type of person) as well.

      in heutology the instructor facilitates the learning process by providing guidance and resources, but fully relinquishes ownership of the learning path and process to the learner, who negotiates learning and determines what will be learned and how it will be learned
