What is Connected Learning?
“I am looking beyond the traditional meaning of being
connected…...I mean being connected to people (who
you most likely will never meet) who inspire, support
and amplify your LEARNING.”
Sylvia Tolisano @langwitches

“The pipe is more important than the content in the pipe.”
Connectivism – George Siemens
The future of learning is connected
and includes collaboration online…

#flatconnect | #digitalcitizenship | #ACEC2014
DIGITAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
(DLE) refers to the tools, skills, standards, attitudes and habits for
learning while using technology and accessing digital resources.
#flatconnect | #digitalcitizenship | #ACEC2014
In a ‘flattened’ DLE where learning is
connected there is no hierarchy.
Students, teachers, ALL learners have
freedom to communicate ‘across’
rather than up or down

What does this mean?
• Authentic, real-world tasks - students are
engaged with the world
• Develop partners for the learning
process - with other learners who are not in the same
time and space, with the extended community
• A shared understanding - of what it means to
learn within a DLE
#flatconnect | #digitalcitizenship | #ACEC2014
Technology must be the bridge, not the barrier to new connected teaching and learning modes

This is beyond merely ‘integrating
technology’ This is a new ‘category’ of
tools and learning habits that
supports 21C skills and global
collaborative objectives

“…the norms of behavior with regard to technology use”
Ribble and Bailey
Digital Citizenship….
Technical Awareness
Technical awareness is the core awareness that enables a person to be a digital citizen.
It lets you put on your “shoes” and run into the 21st century.

Individual Awareness
It comes down to how you want to behave online, and if you will go online.
Healthy lifestyle choices, balance and a person’s individual goals.

Social Awareness
The digital citizen is able to interpret situations and retain interpersonal skills with friends and colleagues whether they are face-to-face or online.

Cultural Awareness

Everyone is not just like me. Everyone is like me in some ways.
Global Awareness

• Different countries have different laws– Copyright, legal
– Taboo subjects
• Nationality transcends culture– Every nation has
multiple cultures
– Never stereotype a nation

Our long-term goal is to bridge
the divide between what
students know and do at
school and what they know
and do in real life.

We believe increased global
links will provide new catalysts
to build on our focus of leading
our students towards
becoming effective global
citizens

A New Paradigm for Educational
Leadership…..
• Online learning communities are leveling the playing field to advantage learners
• Leadership must address:
– School revitalization in a digital world
– Teachers as providers of new forms of leadership in schools and communities
