NMSA2010 Getting The Most Out of Your Students in the Networked World

Editor's Notes

  1. Welcome to Day to of NMSA’s 37th Annual Conference. My name is Todd Williamson and I am a 7th grade Science teacher from North Carolina. I’m also a Teacher Leader for the Middle School Portal and we’ve taken over this room for the day. This is the first of 5 sessions in this room related to Science/Math and Technology in the classroom. This is: Getting the Most Out of Your Students in the Networked World. I’d like to share with you a vision of our students today.
  2. Quite the polar opposite impression given by Dr. Carson last night isn’t it? Well…that is Don Tapscott author of Growing Up Digital and most recently Grown Up Digital actually goes on to say that those claims are unsupported by the research he has completed. But let’s look for a moment at an example of this digital thievery in action. These young kids have lost their creativity…they simply consume content 24/7…In fact, there’s a Norwegian band that has not created a single piece of original music, but is an Internet sensation…They rip off Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Snoop Dogg, Taylor Swift, and are even so bold as to rip Survivor of Eye of the Tiger Fame…let’s watch just how uncreative they are…
  3. There are four caveats to working in a digital networked world that I think we need to keep in mind in order to get the most out of our students.
  4. Prenksy…Either/Or Age based…if you are an Immigrant you never lose your “accent”…Calling to ask “did you get my email” Natives default to technology…Immigrants can get there with practice… My daughter doesn’t think it’s strange for people to walk around with a phone in their pocket at all times…nor does she understand a camera where you can’t immediately see the pictures that were taken…to her, those things aren’t technology, they just are…
  5. Wes Fryer Refugees refuse to believe such things exist or just don’t know about them… Voyeurs have a knowledge of things like Facebook and Twitter, but don’t actively use them Bridges help us get between worlds Immigrants are participating in the technology, using it or dabbling in it… Natives live it and can’t imagine life without it… Each is Technology specific…I might be a Refugee when it comes to digital video, but a Native when it comes to learning in networks
  6. Key point…just because it’s there doesn’t mean everyone knows how to use it…especially true for our students…they’ve learned for their own uses, not necessarily academic pursuits.
  7. Howard Reingold brought this idea to my attention from an old Ernest Hemingway quote “Every man should have a built in, automatic crap detector operating inside him” Here are a few things that our kids may come to us believing or at least, are very easily convinced of…
  8. Is this vast amount of “unfiltered” information dangerous to our students? There’s just SO much information out there…I feel like I’m on Information Overload all the time… And the absolute KINGS of Information Overload are Google…Have you guys seen the newest problems they’re having with Google Maps? I took this photo on the drive up here from North Carolina…
  9. In the case of Google Maps, it appears so… People have been putting so many Google Placemarks out there it’s getting to be impossible to drive safely…
  10. There’s always been Information Overload…there is far more information out there, than you can take in… The problem is when you are unable to filter out the necessary information you need…Part of our job as educators is to 1) learn how to filter information ourselves, and 2) help our students become the filters of information they need to be…
  11. The Web allows us to do three things well…or at least 3 things we can do better because of the web…
  12. Blogs, wikis, podcasts, comics, videos, photo sharing, music…
  13. Find and talk to other people about what is important to them…
  14. Work together with their peers in order to solve REAL world problems…These three things, when done, well, and intelligently, allow students to create their own Digital Footprint…
  15. That was three slides and 14 tools...plus others that I mentioned…INFORMATION OVERLOAD…INFORMATION OVERLOAD…
  16. Just like a carpenter doesn’t build a house with only a hammer, we can’t teach students with only a PowerPoint…The web offers a ridiculously full toolbox for content discussion…
  17. How do I find the best tools in all that “junk”?
  18. I know nothing… And I can prove it, mathematically… I have a finite amount of knowledge…if you’ve ever seen me try to dance, you’ll understand that I don’t know everything… The amount of things that are out there to know and learn is approaching infinity… Where are my math teachers? Ask these folks for help later… If we take a finite number and divide it by a number approaching infinity the result gets closer and closer to…
  19. Is nothing…The same goes for each of you in this room… In fact, unless you’ve learned something from what I’ve said, you now know less than when I started talking… Now if you add what I know, to what you know, to what others in the room know, suddenly, we start to make a dent in the amount of knowledge there is out there…And we form a learning network
  20. On the left you will see the PLN tools we have always (or so it seems) had as teachers…these are the classic ways in which teachers have connected with others around the topics that interested them Today the walls have been torn down and you no longer have to live or meet in physical space. It is possible to build a learning network with people you have never met in real life.
  21. Why do I need to do this? Isn’t all this stuff just a fad? I’ve been in teaching for a long time and have seen things come and go…I’ll just wait until all this technology stuff dies down and then get back to really teaching the way I always have…
  22. As Will Richardson said, Our students are ALREADY learning in networks…or at least building them. There are lots of middle school students who already have networks of 500+ people on Facebook. If you don’t understand what that means, it’s difficult to explain to them why it might not be a good thing… Build your own learning network…find other teachers in your subject area, grade level, interest group, and let them help you find new and better ways to work with your students…
  23. Many of my thoughts on the topics in this session have been influenced by these books: Here Comes Everybody by Clay Shirky…discusses the “tectonic shift” that has made organization online ridiculously easy Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts by Will Richardson…talks about using online tools in the classroom to build community
  24. Rethinking Education in the Age of Tech. by Allan Collins and Richard Halverson…discusses the changes that are taking place in our educational environment today and makes some recommendations for the directions we go on the future Web Literacy for Educators by Alan November…discusses how teachers need to understand the information that is on the web and how to verify whether or not that information is good and valid for their students.
