Shift Happens http://shifthappens.wikispaces.com/ Vance Stevens WorldCALL 2008 Fukuoka

10 Aspects of Paradigm Shift

Pedagogy : Didactic --> constructivist

Modeling : Do as I say --> AND as I do

Transfer : Technology enjoyed at leisure is F.U.N. --> also, applied to professional practice

Trepidation : Will they find out? --> ok to say “I don’t know!”

Literacy : Print literacy --> multiliteracies

Heuristics : Client server --> peer to peer

Sharing : Copyrighted --> creative commons

Classification : Taxonomies --> folksonomies

Directionality : Push --> pull

Ownership : Proprietary --> open source

Writingmatrix These concepts applied with students ... View from Doris Molero in Venezuela: http://tinyurl.com/5fnbgk Vance Stevens WorldCALL 2008 Fukuoka

Writingmatrix

Involved bloggers in

Argentina

Venezuela

Slovenia

Utilized

tagging

social networking tools

to enable students to

locate each other's blogs

interact with selected individuals thus identified as being of similar age and interests.

Technique

Students encouraged

To blog their interests and concerns

To tag relevant posts with an identifier unique to the project

To Use Technorati to identify posts of participants in other countries

Outcomes in Theory

Students are motivated to form writing partnerships

spontaneously

in projects set by teachers collaborating in the project

A final aspect of the project is to have students

explore areas of mutual interest through tagging some of their and each other's posts in Del.icio.us,

then discern who else is reading and tagging their posts

Outcome in Practice: It Works! Ronaldo commented on this posting: http://advanceducation.blogspot.com/2008/02/all-i-know-about-blogging-and.html Vance Stevens WorldCALL 2008 Fukuoka
