    Short (about 1 minute) talks on varied topics. Creates a more natural way to make students respond to ideas. Can be used mostly with older learners who would have more to share and contribute

  • The differences between digital native learners and digital immigrant teachers. Digital Native Learners Digital Immigrant Teachers Prefer receiving information quickly from multiple multimedia sources. Prefer slow and controlled release of information from limited sources. Prefer parallel processing and multitasking. Prefer singular processing and single or limited tasking. Prefer processing pictures, sounds and video before text. Prefer to provide text before pictures, sounds and video. Prefer random access to hyperlinked multimedia information. Prefer to provide information linearly, logically and sequentially. Prefer to interact/network simultaneously with many others. Prefer students to work independently rather than network and interact. Prefer to learn “just-in-time.” Prefer to teach “just-in-case” (it’s on the exam). Prefer instant gratification and instant rewards. Prefer deferred gratification and deferred rewards. Prefer learning that is relevant, instantly useful and fun. Prefer to teach to the curriculum guide and standardized tests.*Ian Jukes and Anita Dosaj, The InfoSavvy Group, February 2003

    If you use at least one of these tools by the end of the course, you'll be able to see how your learners will turn into co-creators of their content, instead of being recipients of information

  • That is you and I.  Those who are driven out of love and hope that we are reaching this generation with some new tools.  Those of us who know there is no "magic pill" or "super website" that will fix all of our ills, but that teachers with heart, hard work, and knowledge of technology tools AND the tools of the past that still work can produce positive results.  People willing to take the challenge of building bridges that the societies of tomorrow will walk across.

  • control is over. This is not about control anymore. This is about finding a way to survive and thrive in chaos.
  • We can’t roll back the clock to an earlier age without computers, without Internet, without the subtle but profound distraction of text messaging. The school is of its time, not out it.
  • The role of the instructor has changed
  • ...14 more annotations...
  • helps the students find the material available online, and helps them to make sense of it, contextualizing and informing their understanding. even as the students continue to work their way through the ever-growing set of information.
  • The instructor facilitates and mentors, as they have always done, but they are no longer the gatekeepers, because there are no gatekeepers, anywhere.
  • the more something is shared, the more valuable it becomes.
  • Education happens everywhere, not just with your nose down in a book, or stuck into a computer screen
  • Many students will never be very computer literate, but every single one of them has a mobile handset, and every single one of them sends text messages.
  • net filtering throws the baby out with the bathwater
  • Services like Twitter get filtered out because they could potentially be disruptive, cutting students off from the amazing learning potential of social messaging. Facebook and MySpace are seen as time-wasters, rather than tools for organizing busy schedules
  • media sites are blocked because the schools don’t have enough bandwidth to support them; Wikipedia is blocked because teachers don’t want students cheating.
  • Filtering, while providing a stopgap, only leaves students painfully aware of how disconnected the classroom is from the real world.
  • the maxim of the 21st century: connection is king
  • Students must be free to connect with instructors
  • difficult for instructors to manage, but it is vital.
  • Connection is expensive, not in dollars, but in time. But for all its drawbacks, connection enriches us enormously.
  • We need to let go, we need to trust ourselves enough to recognize that what we have now, though it worked for a while, is no longer fit for the times.
