Connected Learningin Parti cipatory Culture

Page 2: Connected Learning in Participatory Culture ALISE 2014

We all now live in global participatory digital culture.

Page 3: Connected Learning in Participatory Culture ALISE 2014

Web. 2.0 allowed us all to participate.Will Web 3.0 help us navigate the flood?

Page 4: Connected Learning in Participatory Culture ALISE 2014

Participatory culture contributes to the flood of information online. We are both consumers and producers

(prosumers).

Alvin Toffler coined term in 1980.

Page 5: Connected Learning in Participatory Culture ALISE 2014

Throw (or grab) a digital life-preserver ring.

Build a PLN & teach IL in digital culture.

Opening the gates presented obstacles because the lovely garden is now filled with weeds, pests, and litter.

Were gatekeepers so bad?

Blurred Content (mashed up & remixed)

What was the original color? Where did it come from?User-generated content requires personal responsibility.

Page 8: Connected Learning in Participatory Culture ALISE 2014

Blurred Life(personal & professional)

Who am I sharing with? Friends or family or colleagues?Social media content requires personal responsibility.

Page 9: Connected Learning in Participatory Culture ALISE 2014

Connections get confusing!

Digital culture requires personal responsibility and trust.

Page 10: Connected Learning in Participatory Culture ALISE 2014

People merge with metadata.

Behind the keyboard is a person. Information professionals still serve people- in new ways.

Tools for Participatory Digital Culture

• Blogs• Wikis• Curation tools• Audiovisual tools• Augmented reality• Social networks & PLNs• MOOCs & courses• Virtual worlds• Gamification tools• ePortfolios

Great educators embed Information Literacy in every tool.

QR Codes are “old school” now?Oh well, at least they are fast.

Page 13: Connected Learning in Participatory Culture ALISE 2014

Balancing Tradition & Innovation

Being both follower and leader...both holding on to core values of the profession and letting go of “how things have always been done”… That’s the challenge.

Web 3.0 & the Rise of a Networked Generation

We all live in virtual worlds, whether or not we have avatars.

Page 15: Connected Learning in Participatory Culture ALISE 2014

MOOCs & Minecraft

A virtual circulation desk built by my 5th grade students. The library is a virtual “makerspace”.

Page 16: Connected Learning in Participatory Culture ALISE 2014

Is individual privacy a relic?Can we embed #infolit online? Can we assure

trust, authenticity, and authority?

Page 17: Connected Learning in Participatory Culture ALISE 2014

My colleagues• Joyce Valenza – LibGuides

We can serve as navigators (no longer gatekeepers).• Danilo M. Baylen- Wikis

We can model best collaboration practices.• Sung Un Kim- Edmodo

We can utilize social networking for education and information literacy.

• Judi Moreillon and Ruth Nicole Hall- All the social media toolsWe can mentor through connectivity in digital participatory culture.

I’m @valibrarian and I try to choose my connections wisely!

Digital Citizens Understand

Digital Footprints

The future depends on it.Won’t everyone contribute to Web 3.0?The “Internet of Things” is created by us.

The library and the librarian are not synonymous.

Take a risk and go where nolibrarian has gone before!

“It may be that the great age of libraries is waning, but I am here to tell you that the great age of librarians is just beginning. It’s up to you to decide if you want to be a part of it.”
