Old school: Teacher-centered education
The teachers own the truth
Teaching means transfering knowledge to the students
Learning is what gets into the students’ heads

New school: Student-centered education
The students know the truth
Teaching means facilitating for learning
Learning means constructing knowledge
Students are assumed to be digital
natives
Teachers are assumed to be digital immigrants

” Our school”
Teachers have knowledge and digital competence
Internet makes knowledge available to all, including students
Students know some use of the available tools
Together they can explore how they can use the information and tools available to learn and to construct common knowledge

76 per cent of Norwegians between 36 and 44 are online daily
Many of them have been digital since before the digital natives were born
Many of them are teachers
Ref: Citizen Media Project and ssb.no
Digital immigrants but not digital ignorant

Digital natives with digital learning strategies (25 per cent)
Google generation using digital tools just for fun (50 per cent)

New technologies New cooperative strategies
Digital tools (i.e. blogs, wikis, Twitter etc.)
Students and teachers collaborate in the choice of tools
All tools are not automaticaly appropriate for learning
Digital content
Students and teachers collaborate in constructing knowledge based on the information availabel
What is good information?
What turns information into knowledge?
How do you qoute?
How do you mash and re-create?
This creates digital literacy and information competence

Conclusion
The teaching strategy must consider the students’ digital competency and learning strategies
Digital tools change learning cultures and learning spaces
Digital tools expand our pedagogical tool box
Students know the tools, teachers know pedagogy, and together we can find out how to use the digital tools in teaching and learning
