Social media and mobile devices have changed how today’s students behave and learn. The social web has put
students in a world where being digitally literate, constantly-connectedmulti-taskers is expected. Instructors
respond with new teaching methods such as the flipped classroomand collaborative learning environments to
promote student engagement, but do these activities help students translate their technology skills into a
professional context? This session explores the impact of social and digital media on student learning and ways that
faculty and students can use these tools to engage with each other both inside and outside the classroom.

We are not podcasting in order to teach Audacity nor Garageband. We are not recording students for the fun of using microphone, nor are we blogging, so we can practice typing, we are not skyping for the purpose of using a webcam.
Teachers, parents and administrators, unfamiliar with the tools, might worry that “important” academic time is being lost and wasted as teachers are taking the time to podcast, blog, skype or wiki! It is important to explain that it is not about the latest technology tool.
It is about basic literacy skills (reading & writing)
It is about curriculum content
It is about engaging and motivating students.
It is about addressing, integrating and embedding 21st century skills and literacies, such as media, information, network and intercultural literacy.

Presenter: Dr. Debora Katz, United States Naval Academy
We've all heard the expression, "You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink." Many of us think this expression applies to our physics students. We lead them to physics, but we make them drink it in. Put in more concrete terms we are responsible for teaching, but our students are responsible for learning. So how can we get them to learn? In this webinar, Dr. Debora Katz, author of the new calculus-based physics text, Physics for Scientists and Engineers: Foundations and Connections, will discuss how flipping her classroom has shifted the focus from her teaching to her students' learning.

Date Recorded: 10/3/2014
The idea of competency-based education has steadily gained traction in the media, but its appropriateness in the educational arena remains questioned. How does this drive critical thinking? Should we measure learning based on the application of existing knowledge, or the ability to acquire and apply new knowledge?

Editor's Notes
Rushkoff (2006)Today’s screenagers have been forced to adapt to such an extent that many of their behaviors are inscrutable to their elders. We feel threatened by how different they have become. Indeed, screenagers appear to be interacting with their world in ways that are as dramatically altered from their grandfather’s experience as the first winged creature from their earthbound forebears.
Howard Rheingold (2012)Most importantly, as people who are trying to get along day to day in a hyper-scale, warp-speed civilization that seems so often to be beyond anyone’s control, digital literacy is something powerful we can learn and exercise for ourselves and each other. "
And what is the impact of having all this technology on learning?Nicholascarr, The world of the screen ... is a very different place from the world of the page. A new intellectual ethic is taking hold. The pathways in our brains are once again being rerouted.Students today think differently.
Hyperlinks, encourage us to dip in and out of texts, but he fears that its pells the death of thinking by books,Web search draws our attention to a particular snippet of text that is relevant to what we’re searching for at the moment, but makes it difficult to view work as a wholeIt’s happening fast – increased use of digital media, and from an instructor’s point of view, how to integrate in the classroom?
We can connect anywhere The most profound impact of the Internet is its ability to support and expand the various aspects of social learning. Kids today are connected through skype and facebook, and text. How can we integrate these technologies in the classroom?
Rather than being empowered to choose what they want and to see what interests them and to create their own personalized identity—as they are in the rest of their lives—in school, they must eat what they are served.
Digital natives vs digital immigrants this 10 year old model ….
teachers should not assume that because many children are adept at using … technology, that they are able to apply them freely in formalized learning contexts such as school. Nor … should they shy away from using technology in the classroom with the fear that 'the children will know more about it than me' -
When thinking about the space, think about what students might want to do there – what equipment do you need, what equipment do students already have?Bentley has a mobile computing program, where every student has a laptop, so we needed table space for laptops.Wireless needed to work well because mobile devices are wireless. That meant enough hubs and routers ….And the smartboards and big tv’s are just cool.
almost every student already has a powerful computer- we are far along with 1:1, because a great percentage of your students has a powerful computer in their pocket: a cell phonecell phones are- powerful computers- inexpensive- more….what is missing here is often our imagination and support of schools to integrate the tech we already have
