  • How are pupils and teachers encouraged and motivated to relate to digital culture and use digital technology?
  • main incentives usually offered with respect to digital technology use are concerned with life after schooling and the promise of a future career in the workplace. The ineffectiveness of such incentives is clearly evidenced in the “lifestyle choices” of many children
  • the role of both face to face (friends, relatives, family, peers, neighbors, memberships to groups, etc) and remote (online help facilities, helplines, etc) social and resource networks needs to be recognized (Selwyn, 2004). Social networks may represent a significant determinant in the process within which different pupils and teachers, as members of diverse communities and collectivities, identify a “use” for digital technology in their daily and leisure lives, develop an interest towards this use, establish an initial and later a meaningful engagement with digital tools and contents and sustain this interest and engagement throughout time by expanding their skills and knowledge.

  • Essentially then, pupils’ and teachers’ membership to different social communities, which may be considered as sources of advice and agents of socialization into differentiated forms of culture, is an influential aspect of digital literacy development.
  • Could the school as a significant socialization and enculturation agent address effectively factors related to issues of relevance and social networks and empower pupils and teachers to participate in digital practice, not only as consumers of digital dominant culture but also as producers and communicators of their own culture?”

Vernacular | deschooling.classroom(o^o) - 0 views

  • Although deschooling resonates a kind of poststructuralist and deconstructionist model of critical interpretation of the power regimes of knowledge based control society and education system of control (think Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze) we actually owe the term “deschooling” to Ivan Illich.
  • Ivan Illich
  • precursor of postcolonial critique of the church

  • war on subsistence
  • argued for the creation of convivial, rather than manipulative institutions, for universal and self-directed education and intentional social relations in fluid, informal arrangements
  • referring to already exhisting ideas of Everett Reimer and Basil Yeaxlee
  • Before even Internet was widely spread he wrote that the most radical alternative to school would be a network
  • The concept of vernacular
  • obviously for Illich the process of destabilization of the vernacular language was also the starting point for establishing control society through education
  • from the 80s Illich’s work has been often neglected for being too radical and controversial

In-class laptop use sparks backlash, possibly lower grades - Ars Technica - 0 views

  • Recent studies of the educational value of in-class computer use, however, are suggesting that it's difficult for these programs to improve classroom performance, and there are some signs that a backlash may be brewing.
  • The 1:1 laptop programs do seem to help with the students' ability to use the technology they're exposed to, and a variety of studies show what might be an unexpected benefit: improved writing skills.
  • Distractions on campus
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Outside of these areas, however, the benefits of 1:1 laptop availability are mixed. Different studies have found changes in math and science test performance that were inconsistent. In general, the authors argue, the benefits of laptops come in cases where the larger educational program has been redesigned to incorporate their unique capabilities,
  • unless the use of laptops is focused on providing a relevant portion of the lesson plan, they'll (obviously) wind up being irrelevant at best, and a distraction at worst
  • Of course, given their popularity with college students, laptops are showing up in classrooms where they have nothing to do with lesson plans at all.
  • That's the theory. The reality is that everything from IM chats to online shopping excursions take place over the in-class ether, distracting everyone involved:
  • What's to be done?
  • Our own Jacqui Cheng suggests a variation on this: make all laptop users sit in the back, so that they only distract each other, and let them figure out whether their grades are suffering on their own.

Wikis as a Tool for Collaborative Course Management - 0 views

  • In today’s Web 2.0 world, wikis have emerged as a tool that may complement or replace the use of traditional course management systems as a tool for disseminating course information.  Because of a wiki’s collaborative nature, its use also allows students to participate in the process of course management, information sharing, and content creation.
  • Traditional course management systems such as Blackboard, Moodle, or WebCT
  • are often document-centered

  • This paper describes best practices for using a collaborative web application known as a wiki to augment a traditional course management system.
  • y introducing a wiki for collaborative course management, students also learn to interact with a real world tool, enabling them to accomplish some tasks that would be more cumbersome if not impossible using a traditional course management system.
  • Wikis are useful for students to share their class notes (O’Neill, 2005; Guth, 2007). O’Neill proposes that “the instructor places skeletal lecture notes onto a wiki site, and students flesh them out with materials they have learned in class...” 
  • Maloney (2007) suggests that today’s course management systems are not being used to their fullest potential. Because they are “built around the … course, not the … student,”
  • “The role that the systems play most often is like that of an advanced photocopier
  • a next-generation CMS must be centered around the student’s learning, not the course’s administration
  • In one project, each group set up its own wiki page to chronicle work and share materials with other group members. A template provides the structure for students to enter their names and tasks completed.
  • To promote collaboration, two or three students are assigned specific dates throughout the semester to post their notes from class to the wiki. To ensure that they were posted in a timely fashion, students had to complete their wiki notes prior to the start of the following class. Classmates then reviewed these “Wikipedia-style” notes pages, and added information that they learned but the original authors may have omitted.
  • The instructor provided a template containing the class date, space for the contributors to enter their names, and a blank page below for the notes.

Harvard Education Letter September/October 2008: Teaching 21st Century Skills - 0 views

  • As 2014 approaches—the deadline for all students to be proficient on state tests—academics, educators, business groups, and policymakers are finding common ground in a movement to bring “21st century skills” to the classroom, prompting state agencies and district leaders across the country to rewrite curriculum standards and even to contemplate big changes to existing state testing systems.
  • Some of these skills have always been important but are now taking on another meaning—like collaboration

    September/October 2008 Teaching 21st Century Skills What does it look like in practice? by Nancy Walser Call it a quiet revolution. As 2014 approaches-the deadline for all students to be proficient on state tests-academics, educators, business groups, and policymakers are finding common ground in a movement to bring "21st century skills" to the classroom, prompting state agencies and district leaders across the country to rewrite curriculum standards and even to contemplate big changes to existing state testing systems. What are 21st century skills, who's pushing them, and what does 21st century teaching look like in practice? Although definitions vary, most lists of 21st century skills include those needed to make the best use of rapidly changing technologies; the so-called "soft skills" that computers can't provide, like creativity; and those considered vital to working and living in an increasingly complex, rapidly changing global society (see "Skills for a New Century," p. 2). "Some of these skills have always been important but are now taking on another meaning-like collaboration. Now you have to be able to collaborate across the globe with someone you might never meet," explains Christopher Dede, a Harvard professor who sits on the Massachusetts 21st Century Skills Task Force. "Some are unique to the 21st century. It's only relatively recently, for example, that you could get two million hits on an [Internet] search and have to filter down to five that you want."

  • Nearly 30% of survey respondents (19 of 66) said their organization recouped their investment in immersive technologies in less than nine months, once their project(s) launched.
  • The top motivations for investment in immersive technology in 2008 /1Q 2009 were enabling people in disparate locations to spend time together, increased innovation, and cost savings or avoidance.
  • Early implementers are choosing the simplest use cases first. The most common were learning and training (80%, or 53 of 66 respondents focused on this use case) and meetings (76%, or 50 of 66 respondents). Some intend to take on more complex use cases in 2010 or 2011.

  • Immersive technology won out over a variety of alternatives primarily due to low cost and the increased engagement it delivers. The leading alternatives were Web conferencing and in-person meetings, followed by phone calls.
  • Work-related use of the Immersive Internet is in the early adopter phase. Before it can pass into the early majority phase, practitioners and the technology vendors who serve them must “cross the chasm.” The most common barriers to adoption are target users having inadequate hardware, corporate security restrictions, and getting users interested in the technology.

EDGE - 0 views

    "This year's Question is "How is the Internet changing the way YOU think?" Not "How is the Internet changing the way WE think?" We spent a lot of time going back on forth on "YOU" vs. "WE" and came to the conclusion to go with "YOU", the reason being that Edge is a conversation. "WE" responses tend to come across like expert papers, public pronouncements, or talks delivered from stage. We wanted people to think about the "Internet", which includes, but is a much bigger subject than the Web, an application on the Internet, or search, browsing, etc., which are apps on the Web. Back in 1996, computer scientist and visionary Danny Hillis pointed out that when it comes to the Internet, "Many people sense this, but don't want to think about it because the change is too profound. Today, on the Internet the main event is the Web. A lot of people think that the Web is the Internet, and they're missing something. The Internet is a brand-new fertile ground where things can grow, and the Web is the first thing that grew there. But the stuff growing there is in a very primitive form. The Web is the old media incorporated into the new medium. It both adds something to the Internet and takes something away." "

Colleges Consider Using Blogs Instead of Blackboard - Chronicle.com - 0 views

  • Instead of using a course-management system to distribute materials and run class discussions, why not use free blogging software
  • And true believers like Mr. Groom argue that by using blogs, professors can open their students' work to the public, not just to those in the class who have a login and password to a campus course-management system.
  • Open-source blog software, supporters say, also gives professors more ability to customize their online classrooms than most commercial course-management software does.

  • "It looks like a real Web site," she said, noting that the course blog has a look and feel similar to those of other blogs. "For students to have a sense that they're doing something 'for real' is very powerful."
  • "I think the model for the CMS is outdated given the new Web, and I think that's one of the problems," he said. "It can serve certain functions well, but it's hard for proprietary CMS's, whatever they are, to keep up with the how the Web is changing."
