Editor's Notes
- Mapping major changes to education and training in 2025 Introduction. Focus on Logo Explain how it’s relevant to all your talks, but especially today.
- Are we learning differently because of new technologies, or creating new technologies/tools to serve new learning needs? A bit of a chicken-and-egg situation… … but I believe we are now actively creating technologies to compliment a new way of thinking, technologies we can actually interface with. Still it wasn’t always this way. This new way of thinking had to come from somewhere. Question: Which new technological innovation do you believe has most influenced the way we learn, think, relate to each other – in short, how we function as human beings? Elicit, and click on next slide…
- The Internet or World Wide Web. -Elicit some ideas for why we call it a web . Focus on idea of interconnectivity . Tell them that this idea is really at the center of the talk today. Everything boils down to a whole new understanding of what it means to be connected. This is really the revolution that is changing the way we relate to each other and see our place in the world. - Learning Webs : Discuss Ivan Illich and his idea from 1971. We’ll talk a bit more about him later, but basically he was describing the Internet as a tool for learning, which, when you think about it, is really its central function. -But what is the Internet doing to our brains? JOKE: I can tell you what I often think it’s doing to my children’s brains! But am I right to think this? WATCH VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NugRZGDbPFU&feature=related Pre: Coming up with GOOD IDEAS – that’s the goal of education. What does he mean by an ENVIRONMENTAL PERSPECTIVE? (spaces) Discuss BLOGS and horizontal vs. vertical organization of society.
- So yes, we’ll be talking about these last two points, but it’s impossible to talk about them without first dealing with the first two. These are really the WHY questions, and when you understand the answer to those questions, everything else falls into place. OR When you understand why we are beginning to use these new tools, you will be empowered to figure out how they can work for you and your students.
- If I teach, then you … elicit: LEARN. Tell them where you saw this and how you feel about it: A FALSE DICHOTOMY. This is an old-fashioned way of looking at education, so were we wrong to teach this way? Reveal photo and elicit the film: La lengua de las mariposas. Have you seen the film? Was he a good teacher? Did the boy learn? Why? What does this tell us about teaching and learning? LEARNING IS A NATURAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PEOPLE. IT’S ESSENTIALLY WHAT MAKES US HUMAN. WHAT WE DO. LEARNING IS STILL SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS BETWEEN HUMAN BEINGS. TECHNOLOGY CAN EITHER ENHANCE OR HINDER THIS. IT REALLY DEPENDS ON HOW YOU USE IT.
- Reveal quote. JOKE: OH HECK! THE CAT’S OUT OF THE BAG. THEY’VE FOUND OUT OUR LITTLE SECRET. (vendemos humo) We’re sure to be out of a job now! This is something I learned when I started teaching and it made quite a lasting impression on me. Teachers are aware of this, and yet they also seem to know what their job is about. Do you know Ivan Illich? Reveal book. What kind of person writes a book like this? Reveal Anarchy and discuss its importance (deconstructing institutions, places faith and trust in the individual) as well as his prescience (1971!). So, did he want to get rid of all teachers? Reveal and discuss final quote.
- Reveal first part of quote. Get them to guess who it’s from. Reveal Picture Ask them to finish quote. Reveal and compare. Give them Arthur C. Clarke /David Thornburg quote: “ Any teacher that can be replaced by a computer probably should be” Reveal final quote.
- Reveal Robot: This is a joke. If anything, I see the teacher as becoming MORE, not less HUMAN. Reveal and discuss. Focus on Sports/Coaching metaphors So, in the end, what is a teacher? Someone who helps to free you to realize your potential. A FREEDOM FACILITATOR!
- We started out crouched over and we’ve ended up crouched over a computer, never going outside, ignoring the REAL world! But is this really true?
- Discuss Dan Pink and meaning of DRIVE as in MOTIVATION. Reveal punishments and rewards. Traditional behaviorism. Reveal Carrots and Sticks: These actually do work in certain contexts (routine or physical tasks) Now reveal the rest one by one (underscore that cognitive skills means creative thinking – the kinds of things we want our students to be able to do now and in the future). How can this be? – Next Slide.
- This is Dan Pink again. Underscore: Autonomy: FREEDOM! Mastery: kind of obvious Purpose: Again, very much about being connected.
- Reveal and Speak about Digital Natives (Marc Prensky). Reveal Questions. Elicit possible answers, and reveal one by one. Last one is important. This is NOT ABOUT ISOLATION, it’s about inclusion and being connected.
- Collaboration: “Don’t Copy – That’s Cheating! Outside of school we call that collaboration” Sir Ken Robinson, world-renowned education and creativity expert New Tools: I-school initiative. Kids are taking the initiative, it’s us teachers who have to do the catching up!
- Underscore importance of these being tools, NOT methodologies. We are now living in an eclectic semi-post methodological world. Anything goes as long as it works and serves the purpose/task at hand. We want to look at some of these tools now and think HOW they fit into this new world where teacher and student roles have changed so much. Also reiterate the idea of empowering teachers and students to make choices about how they want to use these new tools.
- Reveal “From Blackboards…” and ask audience how many of them learned in school this way. Add a few jokes about chalk dust etc. Elicit how this facilitated learning in the classroom – Focal Point. Reveal IWBs and discuss similarities. But what are the differences? Talk about both positive and negative aspects of this: Can be very teacher/lecture centred, but great for heads-up, can be for student-led activities too (reference picture) and there is a real “WOW” factor. Elicit: this is basically a big computer screen, and you can do anything with it that you can do with a computer (powerful and familiar tool). What are the implications of this for new learning trends? Next…
- Don’t forget to mention
- Show picture and elicit what he is doing. (lecturing) Is this the central role of the teacher? Why or why not? (There is infinitely more information out there on the Internet than any one teacher could ever offer). Elicit idea of Lecture capture. RSA: Royal Society for the encouragement of the Arts, manufactures and Commerce TED Khan
- Hello Fish4fig
- Admin Communication: syllabus, noticeboard, discussions, chat, e-mail (or other communication device) Resources Homework Assessment (formal and self-assessed with immediate feedback) Authoring tools Actually economizes time and contributes to maximizing F2F. Next slide - blended learning.
- El caparazón Dolors Reig Se habla de TIC (Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación), en educación surge el término de TAC (Tecnologías del Aprendizaje y el Conocimiento) y propongo ahora desde las ciencias sociales el de TEP, teorías del empoderamiento y la participación
