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.

"authentic learning" is relatively recent, the idea of learning in contexts that promote real-life applications of knowledge

learning in contexts that promote real-life applications of knowledge

Approaches that focus on such authentic tasks include project-based learning, the case method, problem-based learning, cognitive apprenticeship (Collins, Brown, & Newman, 1989), situated learning, constructive learning environments (Jonassen, 1999), collaborative problem solving (Nelson, 1999), and goal-based scenarios (Schank, Berman, & MacPerson, 1999).

A few days ago, the Podcasting Kit for SharePoint was released on CodePlex (our open source project hosting web site). For schools, it’s an opportunity to move into a multimedia, web 2.0 world, without losing control of either information, or users.

Auch der Hochschule werden von einigen Lehrenden Lehrveranstaltungen offen gestaltet, damit die Studierenden ihre Themen und ihre Fragen im Rahmen des Seminars kollaborativ bearbeiten können. Das Tableau der Themen entsteht an konkreten Interessen, forschendes Lernen steht im Mittelpunkt. Mir selbst ist es wichtig Seminare begreifbar zu machen als Räume einer gemeinsamen Produktion von Erkenntnissen. Ich wünsche mir, dass die auf dem EduCamp erlebte Lust an eigenen Erkenntnisprojekten und das Zutrauen in die eigenen Denkwege auch den Studierenden an der Hochschule wieder stärker zueigen würde.

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.

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.
