• changing nature of information, and who produces it, and how it is consumed.
• dependent upon network and network effects

What does this mean for education and kids?  Will this change the landscape of the classroom and the learning that takes place there?  How do classrooms become more permeable?

Part A:  Understrating a framework for learning with technology

 

1.  The technology supports a fundamental literacy that the school believes in

2.  The technology adds value to the learning process | it takes learning to a place that could not be achieved unless the technology had been included.

3.  The use of technology is framed within a sound instructional pedagogy.

4.  There is assessment data that enables the evaluation of the learning, and of the application of technology, if possible.

 

Within the context of this framework, it is my belief that the following skills must be developed in students.

Student Skills

 

• Connect
• Create
• Communicate
• Collaborate

 

 

Part B:  Developing a Personal Learning Network-that's our focus.  Educators must live it first, see the benefits, and this can then translate into classroom practice.

 

 

STEP 1:  Get a Google Account.  We'll use Google to host our aggregator (Reader), develop a start page (iGoogle) and begin a blog (Blogger).

 

STEP 2:  Start by populating your reader, others can be found at Support Blogging.  The key to blogging is to read blogs first, develop a sense of what blogging is, what it can be, and how it can impact your thinking.  The next step beyond reading is to comment on the blogs of others and get your name out there.  At the same time, it's time to start publishing your own thoughts.
