Comment on: Fluffy thinking in the edtech community…a waste of energy and time

  • voicethread.com used in first grade classroom so students are participating in asynchronous conversation and everyone gets to share on topic chosen by teacher. Combined with short recordings from audio enhancement classroom system help the teacher quickly post new content from class to the site.

  • I’m not saying there isn’t a place and a time for strategic thinking, what I’m saying is that the edublogosphere is loaded to the freakin’ gills with it. How many ways can you discuss the innate digital skills of middle school students before realizing it’s worth more to talk about what works and doesn’t work with them. In this case the why is truly “academic”.


    We’ve twittered, blogged, bookmarked, tagged, forwarded, and flogged this horse to an amazing degree. What I don’t see is the same amount of energy in capturing what’s been done with the students, the successes and failures, in anything longer than 140 characters.


    If we want our teachers to learn to fish, we have to show them how to bait the hook and cast the line…not wonder if the fish are truly hungry.

The Bamboo Project Blog: Jane Hart's Top 100 Tools for Learning: Looks Like Workplace Learning is Still Web 1.0

  • In looking at these two lists, I was intrigued and frankly bothered by how many "one-way" kinds of tools are being used by the workplace learning professionals. Most of the top 10 tools on their lists are presentation tools, with minimal interactivity for learners beyond what may get built in by an instructional designer. Related to this is the clear sense that workplace learning
    professionals are using more of a "push" mode of learning, pushing
    content to learners, and are focused on creating more structured,
    formal learning experiences.
  • Is it that there are no models for how to use the tools for workplace learning, as there are with the educational community? Certainly I've seen educators having many more discussions about how to use Web 2.0 technologies in learning than I've observed among workplace elearning professionals, so maybe this is part of the issue.
