This document discusses the changing nature of teaching and learning from the 20th to 21st centuries. It notes that today's digital students learn differently than traditional students and that teachers need to adapt practices to the new digital landscape. Specifically, it advocates creating various learning spaces in the classroom to support different styles such as secret spaces for solitary work, group spaces for collaboration, and publishing spaces where students can document and share their learning. The document suggests that embracing technology, social media, and new approaches can help engage today's students and spark positive educational change.

Blended e-Learning Resources to support WritingJanelle Riki
21st Century writing needs 21st Century tools! Take a look at how you might support the teaching and learning of writing in your classroom using blended e-learning approaches and resources.
Used in a series of teacher workshops.
The idea was to see if any of these needs (and solutions) were familiar or perhaps useful to teachers and their students.

The way we think about schools and schooling must change to reflect the exponential changes that are happening in the world around us. This presentation uses the example of 3D printing to challenge how we think about knowledge and our approach to teaching and learning in the modern world.

Educational Priorities for the 21st CenturySam Gliksman
The current rate of technology advance, coupled with the rapid growth of the Internet, is revolutionizing society and the ways in which we communicate, connect and learn. In order to remain relevant, schools need to revise their educational objectives and prepare students with skills for a life of continual change and re-learning.
Beyond the walled garden - the story of how one learner used social media for...Helen Crump
Presentation at Galway Symposium on Higher Education 2013
http://www.nuigalway.ie/celt/conference/conference13.html
Here, I offer to relate my learning story, about how I discovered Twitter as a tool for professional networking and development and how I subsequently went on to discover open education, take advantage of the new ways of learning online in networks and communities, and to develop as a digitally literate learner/practitioner.
It is thought that an autobiographical narrative, such as this, will serve to bring the lived experience to the discussion and make concepts regarding change and “thinking differently” within Higher Education real. This story encompasses a range of new theories and practices: social media/ social networking for teaching and learning, personal learning networks [PLNs],
digital literacies ‐ tools, practices and identity, blogging for reflecting and learning, MOOCs, open education, digital age learning theories ‐ connectivism, rhizomatic learning, heutagogy and open badges.
Biographical information:
Helen Crump is a literacies practitioner and a recent graduate of St. Angela’s College, Sligo where she completed an M.A. in Technology, Learning, Innovation and Change. Her dissertation, “To tweet or not to tweet?”, took a New LiteracyStudies perspective to position the use of Twitter as a social practice and enquire into the disposition of Higher Education lecturers towards the adoption of Twitter practices.

Change can be fun!
‘The world we have created is a
product of our thinking. It cannot be
changed without changing our
thinking.’
Albert Einstein
This site is dedicated to the thought that something as simple as fun is the easiest
way to change people’s behaviour for the better. Be it for yourself, for the
environment, or for something entirely different, the only thing that matters is that
it’s change for the better.
5. This is a video made by young learners in a primary school in Birmingham,
UK. Teachers helped them produce it but it is the children's own work and
the opinions are theirs.
The simple points they make concern their desire for schools to allow them
to use technology they find useful elsewhere in their lives. They feel it would
be useful for their learning too.
8. What is e-learning?
e-learning is about...
students choosing and using the best ‘tool’ or
plan to facilitate their own learning
children developing their own learning
pathways and journeys
children documenting their own learning
which ends up as a digital portfolio
‘open classroom’ walls
the child’s individual learning styles
reflection and self-assessment
using social media to communicate and learn
encompassing key competencies

Data spaces
11. Secret spaces
Somewhere you can go to read a book, be
alone, be reflective, be private, talk to one
other person.
12. Group spaces
Online Group Spaces
• Skype (Have a class account)
• iChat
• Facebook (Have a class account)
• Twitter (Have a class account)
• Delicious (Have a class account)
• Slideshare (Have a class account)
• Google Docs
You will need to look at some sort of 'safe' collaborative networking site where students can talk and discuss. The
Classroom Wiki and Blogs will be one forum.
Classroom Spaces
Our classrooms are so small so we have to make the most of what we have got. Ewan McIntosh talks about spaces
(virtual or real gathering around the fireplace) for students to meet and moveable walls. Think about making small
rooms (spaces) in your classroom. Use you furniture creatively. Kids like to lie on the floor, kneel at a kneeler, sit on
a step, loll on a couch or a beanbag, sit in a big comfy chair. Use cardboard trellis to create the walls that make
the spaces. Children do not have to sit in any one particular area or even on the mat.

19. Small Steps
Take small steps to change - you don't have
to have everything immediately - do things
in small steps, a 5 degree turn. Start with a
blog or a wiki or facebook or twitter - if you
don’t already explore social networking.
Explore ipads, ipods, iphones and try out
some applications. If you need help please
ask people are only too willing to share their
knowledge.
