    Notes on slide 1

    The students that we are teaching now are have grown up in a different world to us. We may not identify with all of their values, but we are responsible for their school education, so we need to try to understand them and engage them with technologies that they are used to.

    Education was traditionally based on ‘talk and chalk’ – listening, reading, writing and remembering. Concept-mastery. (from Cathy Nelson)

    The teacher was the centre of the classroom. Trad-->microphone was on stage with the ‘expert’ who would ‘tell’ information to a passive and largely ‘invisible’ audience Little focus on customizing for each listener, let alone getting them involved. Most schools and academic programs were (and still are) designed for this. Flip side - See it in a School 2.0 manner where all students are ‘broadcasters’ and managing their network ‘brand’, where their audiences are only ‘fuzzy’ because they are so widespread and ever-changing. (from Cathy Nelson)

    Scott McLeod on his blog, Dangerously Irrelevant, challenges all teachers and educators. http://www.dangerouslyirrelevant.org/2007/04/key_question.html

    Since the introduction of Web 2.0 there has been an explosion in the number of sites and applications available for people to use collaboratively. The internet is like a powerful machine that your students are confidently and expertly surging along on.

    Where are you? Are you also surging along enjoying the ride? Are you on there but not so confident or so expert? Or haven’t you taken the plunge yet? Quote from Will Richardson’s wiki

    There is so much information available on the internet today, that a simple search in Google might return 10,000,000 results. Students are easily distracted and they have a short attention span, so we need to teach them info-dieting – or selecting the best information for their needs without glutting themselves on a mass of low quality information.

    Quote from Will Richardson Practice info-dieting yourself and teach your students how to do this too. Image from www.choosehelp.com

    In the past, websites ‘pushed’ information at us, and we had to keep visiting each site to see if any content had changed. With RSS feeds you can now ‘pull’ that information to you, and you only have to visit one site to see it all. Image from http://www.flickr.com/photos/cjfinley/481428628/

    With RSS you can customise what you want to read – like having your own specific newspaper.

    If students plan their research topics well in advance they can set up RSS feeds for them, then forget about the assignment for a few weeks. Once they return, they should have lots of information sitting there in their feed reader.

    Reading other educators blogs via RSS feeds is the best professional development you can do. It opens your mind to what is happening in other schools, network groups and countries, and exposes you to the explosion of new tools and applications that is constantly being produced.

    People love to create, but it’s no fun unless you have someone to admire what you have created. The internet is an ideal place to create content and share it.
