Active vs Passive

How do students think they learn best?

“I prefer practical learning as I like to do things and get bored when just listening to someone talking. I do quite well when working in a group as well as it gives me more ideas and opinions”

“Through repetition. I like to study independently initially but then to consolidate the learning I like to discuss it and have feedback on it. I have a low attention span and so find a lot of reading and quiet time very hard work. I like to interact with people and so the discussion and debate of ideas appeals to me greatly”

“I learn best from doing things or thinking through a problem with other people or by writing something down, drawing it. I don't learn much by just reading something”

Engage

"If we believe that learning is anchored in engagement,

...then we really need to design for engagement.

Open as Freedom

Open as Sustainable

How many people teach the same thing as someone else in the room?

In your school or college? In other places in NZ? In the world?

We gain by being open, as users and creators

What is digital literacy? Some rights reserved by hugojcardoso

"Digital Literacy is about mastering ideas, not keystrokes" Gilster, 1997

"Digital Literacy is a condition, not a threshold" Martin, 2006

<literate></illiterate>

"It is really not possible to speak of illiterate and literate persons as two distinct categories" (unesco 1957)

Source http://dougbelshaw.com/blog/2011/11/22/how-to-develop-digital-literacies-in-yourself-and-others-presentation/#.UGEM26T9F60

"Digital literacy defines those capabilities which fit an individual for living, learning and working in a digital society" JISC

Be Different

"As educators, we need to stop doing the things for our students that we used to have to do under a system where we didn't have access and we didn't have some of the technological affordances that we have today. We need to restructure education so students do the things that the Internet allows them to do for themselves and we as educators start to take advantage of the different ways of interacting in a class setting." George Siemens 2009

Horizon Report NZ 2011

Digital literacy is a key skill in every discipline and profession

Most academics are not using new and compelling technologies for learning & teaching, nor for their own research

The abundance of resources & relationships easily accessible via the Internet challenges us to revisit our roles as educators

Digital literacy themes

OpennessParticipationSharingOnline identityPermission

Wonder & curiosity

Summary

Design learning which requires activity, to foster deep engagement with the concepts. Construction is good!

Be Open. The world will love you for it

Approach the digital world with wonder. Explore and experiment with it

End?

Stay social, keep sharing
