Steven Parker's List: Learning design

"This workshop is intended as a Primer to introduce educators to Project Based Learning - and to the use of free online tools in project based learning. - Thanks Stephen Downes, I was just thinking about these kind of resources for PIE.

"there is no procedural method to go from data to wisdom... Data does not create information; information does not create knowledge and knowledge does not create wisdom. People use their knowledge to make sense of data and information. People create information that represents their knowledge, which can then be more widely shared."

Really enjoyed this, will use as a talking point in a learning design for TAFE \nteachers towards adopting these technologies, I'll be designing connecting and \nconstructivist actvities to encourage them to explore the use of the \ntechnologies you speak of in their teaching...with Moodle in the mix as an \naggregator and sense maker in the learning sequence.

The amount of time people now spend on social networking sites has soared to
six hours a week - that's up more than 80 per cent in a year, and the longer we
spend online, the harder it is to connect with the real world.

Psychologist Arthur Cassidy says that friendships forged via social
networking sites and messaging services are different to those we make in the
real world.

Excellent presneation on the importance of learning design.
