Agenda The Case for Digital Learning The Learning Profile of Digital Natives National Educational Technology Standards The Evolution of Web 2.0  Implications of Participatory Culture 21 st  Century Literacies Web 2.0 Applications That Support 21 st  Century Learning
Essential Questions What is education for?  What attributes do we value and need in our young people as workers, as learners?  Where does learning happen?  What role should young people themselves play in shaping their education? How can students harness technology to become lufe-long learners? http://snipurl.com/1xi77
Powerful Learning Environments Powerful learning environments are usually defined as being environments that seek to develop complex and higher order cognitive skills, deep conceptual understanding and metacognitive skills such as the ability to self-regulate one’s own learning  de Corte 1990
Learning Career A learning career describes the changes in a student’s dispositions to knowledge and learning across contexts and time. Bloomer 1997
Based in Research Such outcomes, which foster the productive use of acquired knowledge and skill and support the transfer of learning, have long been deemed desirable, and recent research has shown how digital technologies can positively affect powerful learning environments  de Corte 1994; Bereiter and Scardamalia 2003; Lehtinen 2003; Kremer 2004
Education is changing. Competition is changing internationally. The workplace, jobs, and skill demands are changing. The Case for Digital Learning
Did You Know? http://www.teachertube.com/view_video.php?viewkey=6f2c2eba77f39993d118
The Implications These changes, among others, are ushering us toward a world where knowledge, power, and productive capability will be more dispersed than at any time in our history—a world where value creation will be fast, fluid, and persistently disruptive.

Digital Natives Learning Profile
Digital Natives Our students today are all “native speakers” of the digital language of computers, video games, instantaneous communication, and the Internet. Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants  – Marc Prensky
Digital Natives It is now clear that as a result of this ubiquitous information environment and the sheer volume of their interaction with it, today’s students  think and process information fundamentally differently  from their predecessors. Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants  – Marc Prensky
Digital Natives “Different kinds of experiences lead to different brain structures” - Dr. Bruce D. Berry of Baylor College of Medicine.  it is very likely that  our students’ brains have physically changed  – and are different from ours – as a result of how they grew up Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants  – Marc Prensky
The Challenge Our Digital Immigrant instructors, who speak an outdated language (that of the pre-digital age), are struggling to teach a population that speaks an entirely new language
Digital Natives are used to receiving information really fast.  They like to parallel process and multi-task.  They prefer their graphics  before  their text rather than the opposite.  Learning Profile of Digital Natives Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants  – Marc Prensky
Learning Profile of Digital Natives They prefer random access (like hypertext).  They function best when networked.  They thrive on instant gratification and frequent rewards.  They prefer games to “serious” work.  Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants  – Marc Prensky

Web 2.0
Web 1.0    Web 2.0
What is Web 2.0? "It's made of people. It's not content."  Jeff Jarvis, Buzzmachine "The interconnected web."  Andrew Anker, Six Apart "Web 2.0 is the two-way web where content finds you." Ron Rasmussen, KnowNow "People doing things together on the web." Mitchell Baker, Mozilla Foundation "Web 2.0 is about platforms that other people can build on." Rajat Paharia, Bunchball
The New WWW Whatever Whenever Wherever Tom March,  Web-based educator, author, and instructional designer
What is Web 2.0? Web 2.0 is a term often applied to a perceived ongoing transition of the World Wide Web from a collection of static websites to a full-fledged computing platform serving web applications to end users The evolution of social software Tim O’Reilly
Social Software The term  social software  came into use in 2002 and is generally attributed to Clay Shirky.  Shirky, a writer and teacher on the social implications of internet technology, defines social software simply as “software that supports group interaction”
Social Software and Education Social software and the changing goals in education seem to be moving in the same direction.

Participatory Culture
Participatory Culture According to a recent study from the Pew Internet & American Life project (Lenhardt & Madden, 2005), more than one-half of all teens have created media content, and roughly one-third of teens who use the Internet have shared content they produced. Confronting the Challenges of Participatory Culture: Media Education for the 21st Century Henry Jenkins
Forms of Participatory Culture Affiliations — memberships, formal and informal, in online communities centered around various forms of media Expressions — producing new creative forms, such as digital sampling, skinning and modding, fan videomaking, fan fiction writing, zines, mash-ups Confronting the Challenges of Participatory Culture: Media Education for the 21st Century Henry Jenkins
Forms of Participatory Culture Collaborative Problem-solving — working together in teams, formal and informal, to complete tasks and develop new knowledge  Circulations — Shaping the flow of media Confronting the Challenges of Participatory Culture: Media Education for the 21st Century Henry Jenkins
Benefits A growing body of scholarship suggests potential benefits of these forms of participatory culture, including: opportunities for peer-to-peer learning,  a changed attitude toward intellectual property,  the diversification of cultural expression,  the development of skills valued in the modern workplace, and a more empowered conception of citizenship.  Confronting the Challenges of Participatory Culture: Media Education for the 21st Century Henry Jenkins
Impact on Learning Participatory culture shifts the focus of literacy from one of individual expression to community involvement. The new literacies almost all involve social skills developed through collaboration and networking. These skills build on the foundation of traditional literacy, research skills, technical skills, and critical analysis skills taught in the classroom.

21 st  Century Literacies
21 st  Century Literacies Play  — the capacity to experiment with one’s surroundings as a form of problem-solving Performance  — the ability to adopt alternative identities for the purpose of improvisation and discovery Simulation  — the ability to interpret and construct dynamic models of real-world processes Confronting the Challenges of Participatory Culture: Media Education for the 21st Century Henry Jenkins
21 st  Century Literacies Appropriation  — the ability to meaningfully sample and remix media content Multitasking  — the ability to scan one’s environment and shift focus as needed to salient details. Distributed Cognition  — the ability to interact meaningfully with tools that expand mental capacities Confronting the Challenges of Participatory Culture: Media Education for the 21st Century Henry Jenkins

Learning 2.0
Learning 2.0? Is it possible to draw on the activities emerging through social software to create learning communities which offer young people personalized, collaborative learning experiences such as those that are already emerging in the world outside the school gates ? www.futurelab.org.uk/research/opening_education.htm
Social Software and Learning Some of the key attributes of social software in relation to education are that it:  Delivers communication between groups.  Enables communication between many people.  Provides gathering and sharing resources. Delivers collaborative collecting and indexing of information.  Allows syndication and assists personalization of priorities.  Has new tools for knowledge aggregation and creation of new knowledge.  Delivers to many platforms as is appropriate to the creator, recipient and context.   www.futurelab.org.uk/research/opening_education.htm
Delivers communication between groups There are implicit mechanisms that allow interest groups to electronically coalesce – to be aware of what each other are doing and to review each others’ actions and to allow those actions to benefit each other member of a community.   www.futurelab.org.uk/research/opening_education.htm
Enables communication between many people If the authors wish, all their work is available to the rest of the digital world.  Access is available to expert and novice alike and, in fact, social software provides systems whereby experts and novices can work together. www.futurelab.org.uk/research/opening_education.htm
Provides gathering and sharing resources It provides a means of gathering and making material available.  Simple acts like putting holiday snapshots on a searchable photo site can give others insight into the location, for instance; for other people making available their work in progress can both inform others and prompt critical feedback.   www.futurelab.org.uk/research/opening_education.htm
Delivers collaborative collecting and indexing of information No longer is knowledge limited by historically constructed visions of curricula.  There are new ways of organizing and finding knowledge objects that are of interest to you and the groups with whom you share interests.  www.futurelab.org.uk/research/opening_education.htm
Allows syndication and assists personalization of priorities   There are mechanisms to be passively active.  You can choose what information streams you want to be kept informed about and that information will come to you rather than you having to go and seek it.  It will help you both keep abreast with your co-workers’ online activity and those other information streams you actually prioritize. www.futurelab.org.uk/research/opening_education.htm
Has new tools for knowledge aggregation and creation of new knowledge   The massive uptake of MP3 music players is  indicative of a move to collecting material from many sources and aggregating it for our personal use.  There are also tools that allow that content to be modified and incorporated in new formulations: the concept of a mash-up. www.futurelab.org.uk/research/opening_education.htm
Delivers to many platforms as is appropriate to the creator, recipient and context   Creators and users of social software tools and content know their lives are not constrained to desktops, they use many media: mobile phones; PDAs; MP3 players and games consoles.  They increasingly expect that the digital part of their life will integrate with them in the context that they are in. www.futurelab.org.uk/research/opening_education.htm

Blogs in Plain English http://www.teachertube.com/view_video.php?viewkey=367ab9eed5af82966a48
Blogs Weblogs are easily updatable personal websites, often used as personal journals.  The social aspect of weblogs can be seen in the ability for readers to comment on postings, to post links to other blogs and, through using pingback or trackback functions, to keep track of other blogs referencing their posts.  This enables bloggers to know who is referring to and building on what they say in their blogs.

Social Bookmarking and Tagging
Social Bookmarking and Tagging Fundamentally, social bookmarking is a web-based application that allows users to store bookmarked links to URLs in a format accessible via the internet rather than searching bookmarks stored on a specific computer.  It has taken off since the launch in 2003 of one of the early social bookmarking sites, del.icio.us.
Social Bookmarking and Tagging The point at which this bookmarking activity becomes  social  is when tagging is added to the functionality.  This means that when users add a bookmark to their list, they also add a tag (a keyword) to that link.  This means that users can search other people’s bookmarks through tags (keywords) defined by users.
Social Bookmarking and Tagging The principle here is that searching by keywords assigned by other members of your community means you are searching in a social context.  Because you are searching sites tagged by people with whom you may share a perspective rather than simply searching text in a web page, you will achieve more relevant results than relying on search engines.
Social Bookmarking in Plain English http://www.teachertube.com/view_video.php?viewkey=3e17aa176019eafac82a
Clipping Tools Clipping tools are a compliment to tagging tools. A clipping tool sits on the toolbar of your browser and allows you to either clip the resource you are viewing and add it to your blog and/or add it to your social bookmarks.  Whichever way you choose, clipping tools allow you to add annotation to information that you have found and want to keep a reference to, and then to share this information and your added value-tags and annotation with others.

Wikis
Wikis Wiki software allows people to easily upload content to the internet, with the important addition that it is then editable by other readers.  One of the most well-known examples is Wikipedia, an online encyclopedia.
Wikis The principle behind the operation of wikis is that the knowledge of the group is greater than that of an individual, and that the group who use it are also the group who create it.  In this way, individuals within the group decide when new entries should be created and through collaborative editing of entries an article will emerge that satisfies the needs of the group.

Learning and Affinity Networks
Affinity and Social Networks Personal networks are shared contacts systems - databases of contacts, and contacts of contacts.  These are often geared to plain sociability (e.g. Friendster) or for business contacts (Linkedin). Affinity systems allow people to register their membership of groups – such as old school friends or work colleagues. Profile matching systems require individuals to enter personal details which are either matched against the profiles of others or searchable by others. This is the typical mechanism for dating websites, but this approach can be mapped onto any need to find people of a particular profile.

The Implications These changes, among others, are ushering us toward a world where knowledge, power, and productive capability will be more dispersed than at any time in our history—a world where value creation will be fast, fluid, and persistently disruptive. Wikinomics: How Mass Collaboration Changes Everything Don Tapscott & Anthony D. Williams
  • 12. Digital Natives Our students today are all “native speakers” of the digital language of computers, video games, instantaneous communication, and the Internet. Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants – Marc Prensky
  • 13. Digital Natives It is now clear that as a result of this ubiquitous information environment and the sheer volume of their interaction with it, today’s students think and process information fundamentally differently from their predecessors. Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants – Marc Prensky
  • 14. Digital Natives “Different kinds of experiences lead to different brain structures” - Dr. Bruce D. Berry of Baylor College of Medicine. it is very likely that our students’ brains have physically changed – and are different from ours – as a result of how they grew up Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants – Marc Prensky
  • 15. The Challenge Our Digital Immigrant instructors, who speak an outdated language (that of the pre-digital age), are struggling to teach a population that speaks an entirely new language
  • 16. Digital Natives are used to receiving information really fast. They like to parallel process and multi-task. They prefer their graphics before their text rather than the opposite. Learning Profile of Digital Natives Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants – Marc Prensky
  • 17. Learning Profile of Digital Natives They prefer random access (like hypertext). They function best when networked. They thrive on instant gratification and frequent rewards. They prefer games to “serious” work. Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants – Marc Prensky

  • 29. What is Web 2.0? Web 2.0 is a term often applied to a perceived ongoing transition of the World Wide Web from a collection of static websites to a full-fledged computing platform serving web applications to end users The evolution of social software Tim O’Reilly
  • 30. Social Software The term social software came into use in 2002 and is generally attributed to Clay Shirky. Shirky, a writer and teacher on the social implications of internet technology, defines social software simply as “software that supports group interaction”
  • 31. Social Software and Education Social software and the changing goals in education seem to be moving in the same direction.

  • 35. Participatory Culture According to a recent study from the Pew Internet & American Life project (Lenhardt & Madden, 2005), more than one-half of all teens have created media content, and roughly one-third of teens who use the Internet have shared content they produced. Confronting the Challenges of Participatory Culture: Media Education for the 21st Century Henry Jenkins
  • 36. Forms of Participatory Culture Affiliations — memberships, formal and informal, in online communities centered around various forms of media Expressions — producing new creative forms, such as digital sampling, skinning and modding, fan videomaking, fan fiction writing, zines, mash-ups Confronting the Challenges of Participatory Culture: Media Education for the 21st Century Henry Jenkins
  • 37. Forms of Participatory Culture Collaborative Problem-solving — working together in teams, formal and informal, to complete tasks and develop new knowledge Circulations — Shaping the flow of media Confronting the Challenges of Participatory Culture: Media Education for the 21st Century Henry Jenkins
  • 38. Benefits A growing body of scholarship suggests potential benefits of these forms of participatory culture, including: opportunities for peer-to-peer learning, a changed attitude toward intellectual property, the diversification of cultural expression, the development of skills valued in the modern workplace, and a more empowered conception of citizenship. Confronting the Challenges of Participatory Culture: Media Education for the 21st Century Henry Jenkins
  • 39. Impact on Learning Participatory culture shifts the focus of literacy from one of individual expression to community involvement. The new literacies almost all involve social skills developed through collaboration and networking. These skills build on the foundation of traditional literacy, research skills, technical skills, and critical analysis skills taught in the classroom.

  • 45. 21 st Century Literacies Negotiation — the ability to travel across diverse communities, discerning and respecting multiple perspectives, and grasping and following alternative norms Confronting the Challenges of Participatory Culture: Media Education for the 21st Century Henry Jenkins
  • 47. Learning 2.0? Is it possible to draw on the activities emerging through social software to create learning communities which offer young people personalized, collaborative learning experiences such as those that are already emerging in the world outside the school gates ? www.futurelab.org.uk/research/opening_education.htm
  • 48. Social Software and Learning Some of the key attributes of social software in relation to education are that it: Delivers communication between groups. Enables communication between many people. Provides gathering and sharing resources. Delivers collaborative collecting and indexing of information. Allows syndication and assists personalization of priorities. Has new tools for knowledge aggregation and creation of new knowledge. Delivers to many platforms as is appropriate to the creator, recipient and context. www.futurelab.org.uk/research/opening_education.htm
  • 49. Delivers communication between groups There are implicit mechanisms that allow interest groups to electronically coalesce – to be aware of what each other are doing and to review each others’ actions and to allow those actions to benefit each other member of a community. www.futurelab.org.uk/research/opening_education.htm
  • 50. Enables communication between many people If the authors wish, all their work is available to the rest of the digital world. Access is available to expert and novice alike and, in fact, social software provides systems whereby experts and novices can work together. www.futurelab.org.uk/research/opening_education.htm
  • 51. Provides gathering and sharing resources It provides a means of gathering and making material available. Simple acts like putting holiday snapshots on a searchable photo site can give others insight into the location, for instance; for other people making available their work in progress can both inform others and prompt critical feedback. www.futurelab.org.uk/research/opening_education.htm
  • 52. Delivers collaborative collecting and indexing of information No longer is knowledge limited by historically constructed visions of curricula. There are new ways of organizing and finding knowledge objects that are of interest to you and the groups with whom you share interests. www.futurelab.org.uk/research/opening_education.htm
  • 53. Allows syndication and assists personalization of priorities There are mechanisms to be passively active. You can choose what information streams you want to be kept informed about and that information will come to you rather than you having to go and seek it. It will help you both keep abreast with your co-workers’ online activity and those other information streams you actually prioritize. www.futurelab.org.uk/research/opening_education.htm
  • 54. Has new tools for knowledge aggregation and creation of new knowledge The massive uptake of MP3 music players is indicative of a move to collecting material from many sources and aggregating it for our personal use. There are also tools that allow that content to be modified and incorporated in new formulations: the concept of a mash-up. www.futurelab.org.uk/research/opening_education.htm
  • 55. Delivers to many platforms as is appropriate to the creator, recipient and context Creators and users of social software tools and content know their lives are not constrained to desktops, they use many media: mobile phones; PDAs; MP3 players and games consoles. They increasingly expect that the digital part of their life will integrate with them in the context that they are in. www.futurelab.org.uk/research/opening_education.htm

The social aspect of weblogs can be seen in the ability for readers to comment on postings, to post links to other blogs and, through using pingback or trackback functions, to keep track of other blogs referencing their posts. This enables bloggers to know who is referring to and building on what they say in their blogs.

A VoiceThread allows an entire group's story to be told and collected in one place. VoiceThreads can be embedded into blogs, wikis, and other web sites. http://voicethread.com/
  • 108. Social Bookmarking and Tagging Fundamentally, social bookmarking is a web-based application that allows users to store bookmarked links to URLs in a format accessible via the internet rather than searching bookmarks stored on a specific computer. It has taken off since the launch in 2003 of one of the early social bookmarking sites, del.icio.us.
  • 109. Social Bookmarking and Tagging The point at which this bookmarking activity becomes social is when tagging is added to the functionality. This means that when users add a bookmark to their list, they also add a tag (a keyword) to that link. This means that users can search other people’s bookmarks through tags (keywords) defined by users.
  • 110. Social Bookmarking and Tagging The principle here is that searching by keywords assigned by other members of your community means you are searching in a social context. Because you are searching sites tagged by people with whom you may share a perspective rather than simply searching text in a web page, you will achieve more relevant results than relying on search engines.
  • 111. Social Bookmarking in Plain English http://www.teachertube.com/view_video.php?viewkey=3e17aa176019eafac82a
  • 112. Clipping Tools Clipping tools are a compliment to tagging tools. A clipping tool sits on the toolbar of your browser and allows you to either clip the resource you are viewing and add it to your blog and/or add it to your social bookmarks. Whichever way you choose, clipping tools allow you to add annotation to information that you have found and want to keep a reference to, and then to share this information and your added value-tags and annotation with others.
  • 113. Social Bookmarking Diigo Del.icio.us Blinklist Furl
  • 118. Digg Find an article, video, or podcast online and submit it to Digg.com. Your submission will immediately appear in “Upcoming Stories,” where other members can find it and, if they like it, Digg it. Subscribe to RSS feeds of particular topics, popular/upcoming sections, individual users, and the search terms of your choice Digg. Participate in the collaborative editorial process by Digging the stuff that you like best. Build a friend list; then your friends can track what you’re Digging. They can also subscribe to an RSS feed of your submissions and/or your Diggs. http://www.digg.com/
  • 121. Wikis
  • 122. Wikis Wiki software allows people to easily upload content to the internet, with the important addition that it is then editable by other readers. One of the most well-known examples is Wikipedia, an online encyclopedia.
  • 123. Wikis The principle behind the operation of wikis is that the knowledge of the group is greater than that of an individual, and that the group who use it are also the group who create it. In this way, individuals within the group decide when new entries should be created and through collaborative editing of entries an article will emerge that satisfies the needs of the group.

  • 140. Affinity and Social Networks Personal networks are shared contacts systems - databases of contacts, and contacts of contacts. These are often geared to plain sociability (e.g. Friendster) or for business contacts (Linkedin). Affinity systems allow people to register their membership of groups – such as old school friends or work colleagues. Profile matching systems require individuals to enter personal details which are either matched against the profiles of others or searchable by others. This is the typical mechanism for dating websites, but this approach can be mapped onto any need to find people of a particular profile.
