PodcasterCon story A Story about the new shape of information, hot it flows in both unpredictable and predictable ways, and that we, as educators must come to understand how information is participatory, trainable, and collaboratory.

Nothing in this Presentation is New! Creativity, information fluency, communication, digital citizenship, technical proficiency, and problem solving. have been with us for a long time. What’s changed is that they are all anchored together by the changing nature of information and the rapidly changing times that we live in.

Web 2.0

Learning 2.0 In learning 2.0, we do not merely learn from educators who have killed and mounted the content and skills as curriculum. In stead, we learn through conversations that are facilitated by by community and a new breed of educator, who can create and cultivate powerful learning experiences.

Participatory VS

Participatory How many planets does your science book say are in the Solar System? How about the Wikipedia?

Participatory What’s in the encyclopedia Britannica, is there because some very smart people decided on the best, most valuable informa- tion to be made avail- able for the largest common denominator of reader. What’s in the Wikipedia is there because communities of people who love and care about their topics, maintain and improve them on an ongoing basis.

Participatory – Blogs Blogging has given my six and seven-year olds a window to the world. They see themselves as part of a global community--a community that shares ... This international audience gives my students a purpose and they are motivated to do their best writing on their blog. Kathy Cassidy Blogging has given my class and myself a window out to the world… We have an authentic global audience for the events that happen in our school. By blogging we have a real purpose for writing to inform , to educate , to connect . Teacher from New Zealand Without a doubt the children that find their voices first and carry the most enthusiasm for blogging are my special needs children. Students who would agonize over a sentence are writing prolifically about their lives. (…the improvements in writing are steadily making their way back to paper and pencil!) Elsie

Participatory – Blogs I have spent a great deal of time this weekend checking my students' blogs and comments. They're fifth graders who HATE working on the weekends, but they are blogging about television shows, books their reading, articles they find online, events coming up in school. None of these topics were assigned. Lisa Parisi If nothing else blogging gives me data about engagement. I have almost 40,000 hits in 6 months between my two class blogs and over 10,000 student entries. That data is a good way to start a discussion about the power of blogging and 1-1 computing. Brand Schneider &quot;I have never seen, in my 25+ years of teaching, a more powerful tool for motivating kids to write, than the blog. It's as simple as that. And when you have a powerful tool at your disposal... well, a smart teacher will use those tools&quot; . Mark Ahlness

Participatory – Blogs Blogging has changed the way I teach and learn. Yes, me, the so called teacher. Blogging has allowed me to look wider than my own school and grow from a community of teachers around the world. New Zealand Educator I worried about making my students’ developing language skills available to a wider audience – but I needn't have. They are developing their own voice and with it a greater degree of responsibility and confidence. Paul Harrington I would love to say it was my inspirational teaching. ;) However, the truth is that the new found care my students have taken with editing their writing really came as our Clustrmap started blooming.
