The document discusses the shifting digital landscape and its implications for education. It notes that digital learning involves more than just technology skills and requires new approaches to instructional design. Case studies show how some schools have created learning networks that allow learning to occur anywhere and involve students collaborating online. Research highlights trends like mobile computing and electronic books that will impact education in the next few years. Effective digital learning requires developing students' new media literacies and competencies for a 21st century world.

4. Our values and norms in
education are being
challenged by a shifting
landscape of media and
communications.

5. buzzwords
Social Media
gather, communicate,
share, collaborate, play
Web 2.0
social media tools

6. virtual spaces
MUVEs: multi-user virtual environments
Narrative environments : game style worlds
Virtual worlds
Social & professional networks
Sharing & collaborative spaces
Aggregation & storage
Products & services [e-commerce]
Information sources
In these spaces, people:
// run businesses & engage in e-commerce

7. what would education look like if it resembled the culture?

8. social media matters in education
What’s important: the properties and dynamics of social
media – not the tools – and how to evolve with them.

9. web as participatory platform
‘us-ness’ | community | participation

10. current technology demands a totally different approach to
instructional design and teaching methodology
it requires new skills from both teacher and student

11. responding to opportunites & challenges
Trying to protect students and instructional time by banning Web 2.0
or setting policies to keep it “safe.”
Preserving existing programs and practices by using technology in a
way that “fits” into what is already in place.
Taking a progressive approach by allowing technology to transform
the organisation rather than moving it faster and further on its
existing path.

12. research | pedagogy | competencies

13. digital literacy – more than ict skills
the ability to:
• read & write [create] digital texts
• analyse & evaluate knowledge available on the web
• interacting effectively with online information:
find | sort | navigate | synthesise
• communicate | collaborate | participate
interact safely & ethically

14. 21st Century Education Rethinking the who, what,
where & when of learning.
The delivery & distribution
of learning.
From prescriptive to

19. blended learning
“Blended learning is more effective than either face to face or
online learning by themselves.”
“Between online and face to face instruction, online is at least
as good and may even have the advantage in terms of
improving student achievement and potentially expanding the
amount of time (and quality time) students spend learning.”
Evaluation of Evidence-Based Practices in Online Learning [The US Department of Education 2009]
