            If I don’t include this slide, I’m
            probably going to forget to
            introduce myself.
                                  If you have a question
                                  or a comment, I’ll be

            Let’s take a moment to
            review your questionnaire.
            I like knowing my audience.



  #emergent2013 / @stickbyatlas
Thursday, 18 April, 13
INTRODUCTION

            What exactly do I mean by
            ‘democratizing’ educational
            technology?
            It seems democratic enough
            already.

INTRODUCTION

        Traditional instructional design
        (textbooks, worksheets, summative assessments)

                                  The interactions that
                                  bring about learning
                                  are controlled by the
                                  instructor, not the
                                  learner. Not democratic.


  #emergent2013 / @stickbyatlas
Thursday, 18 April, 13
INTRODUCTION

        Democratic instructional design
        (supported by the right ed-tech tools, of course.)

                                    The interactions that
                                    bring about learning
                                    are controlled by the
                                    learners, not the
                                    instructor. Democratic!


  #emergent2013 / @stickbyatlas
Thursday, 18 April, 13
INTRODUCTION

          Basically, democratic
          instructional design means
          getting out of the way of your
          students’ learning interactions.
          You’re not special. They are!

            So, let’s get on with it. What
            are these democratic ed-tech
            tools you promised to talk
            about, and how might I use
            them in my classroom?
