The ‘Native’ information experience Responsive • Provokes Conversation • Demands Personal Investment • Guided by Safely-Made Mistakes• Tuesday, February 8, 2011 20

The foundation Responsive • Provokes Conversation • Demands Personal Investment • Guided by Safely-Made MistakesTuesday, February 8, 2011 21ResponsiveOur learners’ outside-the-classroom information experiences are responsive. They are accustomed to receiving feedback on their actions, decisions, and ideas. Videogames are an obvious example of how they play and work in an environment that responds to them. If you send your player down the wrong road or through the wrongdoor, he dies and you have to start again. But there has to be a logical and contextual reason for it. There has to be a basis that the player reasons through to rationalizethe death and plan better for the next time through.But it would be a mistake to believe that all of the responsiveness that our learners are accustomed to is immediate – orthat immediacy is even the most important element of responsiveness. Many video games fail the player out, not because of a single mistake, but for committing a cascadeof mistakes, some of which may have been committed minutes, hours, or days earlier. Even their social networking is responsive, and the comments they receive back areoften extended across hours or days.The key to responsiveness is not time-based as much as it is relevance- based. If the response is authentic to what the learner isdoing, then the influence on learning is greater.Classroom Examples:Instructional software that provides feedback within a learner identified contextWriting assignments submitted as blog entries or wiki pages to be read and responded to by classmates or readers outside the classroomePortfolios, accessible from outside the school environment and available for comment/feedbackVarious academic (and physical) competitions (website creation, robotics, field day, competitive quizzes)Collaborative work that involves group planning, individual specialization, and a valued deliverableStudent produced learning resources (study guides or even studentproduced textbooks)Provokes ConversationThere is very little that millennials do alone, and it is, to some peoples reckoning, counter intuitive that today’s youngsters are actually more sociable and skilled sociallythan previous generations. They are together at school, at the ball game, at band camp, at the mall, and at home, through their IM, text messaging, and social networks.They are more like room mates than mere friends. They are constantly engaged with each other and they never say goodbye – because the conversation continues, evenwhen they are no longer physically together or even in the same state.Beyond the availability that they have with each other, through the information and communication technologies (ICT) that they assume to be a part of their experience,many of their activities demand communication. The very nature of Facebook, Beebo, and MySpace is conversation. You are posting your updates to be read and respondedto. They comment on their digital walls, upload photos and videos for comment, and discuss their homework through their social networks.Many video games also require conversation. Operated over the Internet, players are encouraged to form themselves into teams or guilds, plan and implement campaigns,form economic cartels, and even push the games into unintended functionality, such as machinima (http://bit.ly/o5lm7).Classroom Examples:Online collaborations across classrooms and even age groupingsAsk students to read separate parts of a chapter and then sequence and outline the context as a teamArrange guest speakers either in-class or virtually, but, after a short introduction, have students interview the speaker rather than ask for an extended formal presentationAssign homework that asks students to collaborate through theirsocial networksAsk students from geographically different places to plan, together, virtual field tripsthroughSkype or other video conferencing softwareGoogle and what it represents has turned us into a question-asking culture. We love to ask questions at a rate of more than a hundred billion a month, through the top tensearch engines.3We ask questions, because we know that the answers are available and often no further away than our pockets. Our demand for high speed access to theanswers has increased, even during recession years and among previously reluctant demographics.4But, for our students, it goes much deeper than posing questions out of curiosity. Consider that many of the video games that they play come without user guides. With asense of context that they receive from introductory videos and conversations with friends, they find themselves thrust into an alien world with almost no guidance. Howdo you approach an experience like this? You approach it by asking questions:•What are the goals of this game? •What are the rules? •How can I use the rules toaccomplish the goals?The game constantly presents barriers to accomplishment that the player has to question his way around.Classroom Examples:
