Weblogg-ed » The Larger Lessons

weblogg-ed.com/...the-larger-lessons - Preview

We need more sessions on “why?’ not “how?”, more thinking about teaching with technology and less of what Gary classicallly described as “Burping with VoiceThread.”
kinds of larger lessons—-having students engage in conversations around content, encouraging shared reflection of articles connected to topics we’re studying in class, bringing experts into my room, pairing my kids with national or international partners—-seems so much more “doable” than it did when I tried to tackle the same tasks without digital tools.

- New digital tools haven’t changed the lessons—Instead, they’ve just made the kinds of learning experiences that support collaboration, creativity, critical thinking and problem solving more efficient, more instant, and more interesting.
  
  What does that mean for schools?
  
  That EVERY teacher—-not just top-performers—can engage students in the kinds of experiences that we know are valuable. Collaboration shouldn’t be intimidating to anyone when dozens of free collaborative tools are developed every day. Critical thinking is easy when one’s ideas can be challenged by audiences that were once impossible to provide and when tons of content on any topic–biased and otherwise—is readily available.
- I think I can make that compelling case, that the experience can be enriched when disparate voices engage in the conversation. That in the connections we can make with others around the things we most want to learn about can change the learning equation in some meaningful ways.
- If we can get them to take their interests and passions seriously, that’s awesome.
- It’s up to staff to learn to these new technologies and apply the pedagogical sense to them.
- In my view, our goal should be that our learners use, to the extent possible, the best and most up-to-date nouns (tools) to learn and perform each key verb (skill). Older tools often still work for a time (e.g. books), and others work less well (e.g. slide rules). But technology will continue to provide us with better nouns for each of the verbs.

Web 2.0 Is the Future of Education - Classroom 2.0

www.classroom20.com/...649749:BlogPost:115854 - Preview

I believe that the read/write Web, or what we are calling Web 2.0, will culturally, socially, intellectually, and politically have a greater impact than the advent of the printing press.
while we don't know what the solutions will be to the information dilemma, we can be pretty sure they will be brought forth from the collaborative web itself.
7 more annotations...
- Because it is in the act of our becoming a creator that our relationship with content changes, and we become more engaged and more capable at the same time.
- The nature not just of how knowledge is acquired, but how it is produced, is changing.
- The era of trusted authority (Time magazine, for instance, when I was young) is giving way to an era of transparent and collaborative scholarship (Wikipedia).
- distinction between the "lecture" room and the "hallway" is diminishing--since it's in the hallway discussions after the lecture where JSB mentions that learning actually takes place.
- From "access to information" to "access to people"
- For centuries we have had to teach students how to seek out information – now we have to teach them how to sort from an overabundance of information. We've spent the last ten years teaching students how to protect themselves from inappropriate content – now we have to teach them to create appropriate content. They may be "digital natives," but their knowledge is surface level, and they desperately need training in real thinking skills.
- More than any other generation, they live lives that are largely separated from the adults around them, talking and texting on cell phones, and connecting online. We may be afraid to enter that world, but enter it we must, for they often swim in uncharted waters without the benefit of adult guidance.

How the E-Book Will Change the Way We Read and Write - WSJ.com

But because books have largely been excluded from Google's index -- distant planets of unlinked analog text -- that vast trove of knowledge can't compete with its hyperlinked rivals.
In other words, an infinite bookstore at your fingertips is great news for book sales, and may be great news for the dissemination of knowledge, but not necessarily so great for that most finite of 21st-century resources: attention.
