- 10. A pre-cursor to the Internet • Includes “…legal, educational, religious, research, industrial and technical systems. In this sense, the noosphere emerges through and is constituted by the interaction of human minds.”
- 11. But not all believed …
- 12. • “I think there is a world market for maybe five computers.” – Thomas Watson, IBM, 1943 • “There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home.” – Ken Olsen, Founder of Digital Equip Corp, 1977 • “I predict the Internet will soon go spectacularly supernova and in 1996 catastrophically collapse.” – Bob Metcalfe, Founder of 3Com, 1995
- 13. How big is the Internet…?
- 15. How big is that…? • As of September 2014, 1 billion websites • Internet vs Library of Congress – NSA can gather the entire LoC … every 6 hours – 140+ billion photos on Facebook = 10k x LoC – 26 Petabytes uploaded daily = 70x LoC – The entire LoC can be stored in 2 Tb = $1,500
- 17. Meanwhile …
- 18. “The underlying delivery model or pedagogical model hasn’t really changed much…”
- 19. “Teachers and text books are assumed to be the source of knowledge. Teachers ‘teach’ – they impart knowledge to their students, who through practice and assignments learn how to perform well on tests…This is the very best model of pedagogy that 18th century technology can provide. It’s teacher-centered model that is one way, one-size-fits- all and the student is isolated in the learning process.” - Don Tapscott, author, Growing Up Digital
- 20. Mediated world
- 21. Analog model
- 22. A Digital Divide
- 26. Today’s learners think differently.
- 28. Digital Natives • born after 1980 • Technology has been a normal part of their everyday lives for their whole lives • accustomed to – unrestricted access to information – having to evaluate its quality, accuracy and usefulness – make sense of it in terms of their own life
- 31. Traditional classroom teaching methods, even when taken online, don’t resonate with these learners.
- 32. Learning like a native requires a new model
- 33. 4 Steps…
- 34. Flip it. 1 of 4
- 36. • Meet people where they are – be present in the myriad informal & unstructured environments in which people learn • Responding to challenges folks actually have – So What? • Serving as “more capable peers” – Making our materials, expertise, and and insights available
- 37. Make it social. 2 of 4
- 39. “...when students in the combined course completed an interactive activity, they learned six times as much as those who only read the material or watched the video”
- 40. “...when students in the combined course completed an interactive activity, they learned six times as much as those who only read the material or watched the video”
- 41. 3 of 4 Make it open.
- 46. 4 of 4 Make it immersive.
- 54. “Our duty, as men and women, is to proceed as if limits to our ability did not exist. We are collaborators in creation.” – Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

Editor's Notes
- And what she didn’t teach us, we learned from whatever books were available to us in our local libraries … >
- Or, from the friends, neighbors, and other members available to us in our local communities. >
- I’m suggesting we are doing it differently today
- Wrote about the noosphere in 1922. Vatican made him stop publishing, which he did – but he didn’t stop writing. In the 1960’s he was rediscovered and, today, is recognized by church, science, and academy.
- .
- We are surrounded by data and relationships; swimming in a sea of uber-connection.
- For some, all this seems quite unnatural, and a bit overwhelming, sometimes. There’s a word for people like us.
- in which ubiquitous, high-speed, 24 x 7 connectivity to all things and all people is not a result of technology, per se, but instead, is simply a component of their naturally-occurring world. But there is a new generation of “digital natives” is among us. These “Immediates.” they do not know a world without immediate, 24x7, high-speed, ubiquitous access to any content, any expert, and any community – delivered directly to them how, when, and where they need They are social sharers; They were born into a world where a mediated connection with people and experiences is natural;
- This blended, mediated sense of place, group, task and self is opening new worlds for learning
- Learning is Open
- Blends real and virtual
- in supporting a new generation of connected learners and educators … I call them, the “Immediates” … for whom these technologies are natural extensions of their ways of knowing, being, and doing.
