Digital Culture
                           and
                      Education

                  From where it all began


Kerrie Davis
29 October 2012
In the Beginning
    The first computers began to appear
    in NSW High School classrooms
    around 1979
    I remember this because I was there!

    It was in the Maths room


Kerrie Davis

In the Beginning
   • ICT had begun to be slowly taken up in
     schools throughout the 1980’s
   • Until early 90’s Apple ruled supreme in
     schools
   • The growing phenomena being the
     Internet and WWW pressured
     the advent of new productivity
   • Research to guide best
   practices has yet to be developed
Kerrie Davis
29 October 2012
In the Beginning
   • Schools in NSW all have Internet
     connectivity in 1996

   • The early days of Internet saw schools and
     other education facilities develop websites

   • These were merely an information service
     – users unable to “interact” with sites


Kerrie Davis
29 October 2012
In the Beginning
   • High schools begin to introduce Windows
     95 PC’s, Apple was more expensive
     declining in popularity with schools

   • 1997 saw NSW schools start receive the
     first official government roll out of PC’s

   • 1 for every 12 students


Kerrie Davis
29 October 2012
Internet and WWW maturing
   • 2001 other services begin to emerge
   • Wikipedia, Google, MySpace, Facebook,
     Digg, Twitter…
   • Known as Software as a Service (SaaS)
     applications
   • SaaS removes the need for desktop
     productivity suites
   • Such as Word, Excel and Power Point


Kerrie Davis
29 October 2012
WEB 2.0 changes everything
   • WWW was moving towards a read/write
     platform

   • Allowing for “interactivity”

   • User could now engage with others

   • Contribute and publish information

   • Such as graphics, animation, audio and
     video

Kerrie Davis
29 October 2012
WEB 2.0 changes everything
   • Computer now a productivity and
     communication network tool

   • Web 2.0 effect on education focus of
     researchers such as danah boyd

   • Web 2.0 becoming common place in
     education requires that there be research


Kerrie Davis
29 October 2012
Digital Education Revolution
   • 2008 Australian government announce
     plan

   • Every student from Year9-12 to have
     access to individual computer

   • 2012 this goal is achieved

   • Lenovo laptops available for all these
     students
Kerrie Davis
29 October 2012
Digital Education Revolution
   • 2010 Windows 7 and Office 2010 on
     NSW school computers

   • Interactive whiteboards are readily
     available in many class rooms

   • Now that the infrastructure is in place –
     Where to from here?


Kerrie Davis
29 October 2012
Importance of Teacher Education
    • Schools must no longer simply teach
      computer skills

    • Digital technology must be embedded in
      the process of education

    • Improve educational opportunities

    • Boost outcomes, energise learning
      experiences
Kerrie Davis
29 October 2012
Importance of Teacher Education


    • Professional development for teachers
      needs to be provided in order for teachers
      to be able to deliver suitable educational
      outcomes through embedding
      technological practices within current
      pedagogy. (Buchanan 2011)




Kerrie Davis
29 October 2012
Importance of Teacher Education
  • The educational landscape has transformed
  • Notions of literacy, knowledge and
    communication has been altered by digital
    technologies
  • Educational practices have to change to
    accommodate the new learning styles
    preferred by this “Digital Native”
    generation
  • Students need freedom to be able to create
    own digital culture and identities
Kerrie Davis
29 October 2012

      education

Kerrie Davis
29 October 2012
Digital Culture and Education
                        Schools
    • Interactive platforms like Moodle
    enable student’s to participate in online
    learning as a supplement and enhancement
    to classroom learning.

    • Students can access class resources and
      participate in further activities.

    • Students that are absent due to illness or
      some other reason do not need to miss
      out on class work, the resources and
      activities are still available to them.

Digital Culture and Education
                       Tertiary
    • Distance education has been around in
      Australia as long as we have had a postal
      service!
    • University of Queensland offered first
      course by correspondence in 1911

    • Digital technologies has vastly changed
      our attitudes and opportunities in
      obtaining education by distance (online)

Digital Culture and Education
                       Industry
    • Industries can provide online training to
      further worker’s knowledge and skills
    • A snapshot of some available:




Kerrie Davis
29 October 2012
Digital Culture and Education
  Self-Directed, Peer based learning
  •        Freedom and autonomy available that
       is less apparent in a classroom setting

  •               More motivated to learn from peers

  •        Outcomes emerge through exploration,
       (in contrast to classroom learning that
       has set predefined goals)

  • Social and technological skills are
    enhanced by social media and can be
    utilised for learning
Kerrie Davis
29 October 2012
Digital Culture and Education
      Self-Directed, Peer based learning

  •        Research conducted independently and
       alternatively of formal instruction

  • Desire to source knowledge out of curiosity or
    interest is made easy via Internet

  • Thanks to vast tools and communities available
    such as Google, Wikipedia, LiveJournal,
    DeviantArt to name a miniscule few

Kerrie Davis
29 October 2012
Digital Culture and Education
    Self-Directed, Peer based learning
  • Interest-based social groups and network
    communities further enhance thirst for
    knowledge and ability to produce
    knowledge to contribute to the
    communities

  • Peer-based sharing and feedback provides
    validity, encouragement , status,
    recognition and reputation among
    likeminded people

Digital Culture and Education
                 My thoughts in a nutshell
    • Digital culture is constantly evolving and
      developing, and we all need to be educated on
      how to effectively utilise and appreciate the tools
      at hand.

    • As we are better educated in matters such as our
      obligations to privacy and etiquette we inturn
      add improvements and enhancements in our
      digital cultures

    • Education and digital culture go hand in hand
      together in the evolution of each other

Kerrie Davis

Digital Culture and Education
                        In a nutshell



                                     Education is
      Digital Culture

      is enriched,
