  2.0 education conversation

  • The edublogosphere has changed from being about ‘the conversation’ to being part of ‘the network’. It all smacks a little too much of ‘keeping up with the Joneses’ and, to be honest, viral marketing of Web 2.0 apps
  • the map is not the territory.
  • the what, but not the why
  • I can’t believe that it’s 2008 and we’re still using a method of education more than a little reminiscent of the Industrial Revolution…

  Are primary/secondary teachers becoming hapless shills for tech marketers? Consider this question in relation to privatisation of education and teacher salaries. Will classrooms become proprietary branded spaces or spaces of critical thinking and inquiry

  I see two different but interrelated issues at work in this post and the subsequent comments and I would like to address them both. First, the evangelizing of new tools has come to feel a bit sickening lately and I agree we run the risk of moving away fro

  • Reminds me of a Native Indian in the USA that once said to me, “Go back to Europe.” I could have returned, “Go back to Asia,” but what would be the point really? We are all here now. And, this is why tools need to evolve to help us manage the data and relationships. We each have a choice on our level of participation. Fresh voices along with seasoned experts is a mix that I have personally adopted. As a right-brainer, I like divergent thinking as a starting point. I can always converge when the time is right. Some people, however, are convergent thinkers at the start. As a divergent thinker and explorer, the Web and it’s varied voices and ability to connect is the greatest gift of my lifetime.

  I found myself sympathetic to Doug Belshaw's post about the state of the edublogosphere. I got into it about the same time Doug did. I don't long for any "good old days" but I believe that not all the changes are for the better.

  ..and Doug is not too happy with it. But even back in 2003/4 it was hip to be the first kid on the block to use the new technologies.

  • I think we all need to maintain a focus on school change
  • we need people in classrooms arguing for change and showing what can be done. I’m a bit concerned that all of the ‘best’ people are going to end up as full-time consultants…

  • I think more people are twittering than reading RSS, particularly the blogging type.

     

    There are lot of people adding us all to their RSS readers for the sake of having an RSS reader but not really to converse.
  • We no longer send our kids to school where they are sectioned off by grade level
  • if I can provoke teachers to consider what these technologies mean in terms of their own learning, and help them then think about the changes in terms of their classrooms, then so be it
  • And where would newbies find these seminal posts?

  Doug Belshaw's ruminations on the edublogosphere and how it is changing. I'm going to be thinking on this one.
