changes
context
Each technology
   creates a new
    environment.



The effects of media
come from their form
 not their content.

Teens are not connecting in
the ways we fear. But, we need
to pay attention to:

•Properties: persistence,
replicability, searchability,
scalability, (de)locatability.

•Dynamics: invisible
audiences, collapsed contexts,
blurring of public & private     @zephoria
spaces
Michael Wesch

          • Inspired by McLuhan’s
          “We shape our tools and
          thereafter our tools shape
          us.”

          • Youtube & other social
          media mitigate “connection
          without constraint”. In
          many cases this leaves to
@mwesch   “tremendously deep
          communities”.
enablers
(for connected learning)
“A key to transformation
  F/OSS       is for the teaching
           profession to establish
Movement   innovation networks that
            capture the spirit and
           culture of hackers - the
             passion, the can-do,
            collective sharing.” ~
                   ~Hargreaves
Free Tools
Open Content

       “describes any kind of creative work in a
       format that explicitly allows copying and
        modifying of its information by anyone,
       not exclusively by a closed organization,
            firm, or individual. (wikipedia)
Open Access
   “The aim of the open access movement is to make
scientific and scholarly literature openly accessible
   to all users free of charge.” (open-access.net)

       courses, and other educational events

why this matters?
@willrich45
this is not going away

              social media provides
              engagement/motivation

incredible possibilities
for teaching and learning


      ethical responsibility of schools


good teaching is shared & transparent
Don’t limit a child to
your own learning, for
he was born in another
    time. ~Tagore

Editor's Notes

  1. Institutional Survivor
  2. How many people have watched this video “David After the Dentist”, a seven year old boy coming home from the Dentist after some anesthetic. Something like 21 milllion people have now viewed this clip, and there have various remixes. And there are certainly some issues of what we share online, how it quickly goes out of our control. This is something all of us must understand.
