Learning with Mobile millenials Born in 1995, they do not remember a world without social media. 3 years old – Google changes the way we search the web. 4 years old – Netflix begins digitally delivering movies and TV shows. 6 years old – The iPod hits the market and changes the way the world listened to music. 7 years old – American Idol airs and “live voting” by mobile device becomes mainstream 8 years old – Tom launches Myspace, and social media begins the climb to world domination.. 9 years old – The first episode of Lost hits the airwaves. Facebook is born. 10 years old – Youtube adds a whole new element to searching the web. 11 years old – Twitter – and 140 characters – becomes popular. 12 years old – The iPhone took the world by storm. (2008) .......the rest, as they say, is history

Longhand multiplication of numbers using paper and pencil is considered a worthy intellectual achievement. Using a mobile phone to multiply is not. But to the people who invented it, longhand multiplication was just a convenient technology.” Sugata Mitra is professor of educational technology at Newcastle University, and the winner of the $1m TED Prize 2013. He devised the Hole in the Wall experiment, where a computer was embedded in a wall in a slum in Delhi for children to use freely.
BIGA information world
BIG A time to get organised
We live in a connected world. Nearly two billion people connect to the internet, share information and communicate over blogs, Wikis, social networks and a host of other media.
Anything imaginable is capable of being connected to the network, become intelligent offering almost endless possibilities.
The question is.....?
How should technology impact the way we learn and the way we work? cc licensed ( BY NC SA ) flickr photo by fatboyke (Luc): http://flickr.com/photos/fatboyke/2984569992/
More content, streams of data, topic structures, (theoretically) better quality - all of these in online environments require an equivalent shift in our online capabilities.
1. Find the right thing 2. Get the best summary 3. Go broader and deeper What should we do...?
LIFESTREAMS Today, our view of cyberspace is shaped by a 20-year-old metaphor in which files are documents, documents are organized into folders, and all are littered around the flatland known as the desktop. Lifestreams takes a completely different approach: instead of organizing by space, it organizes by time. It is a diary rather than a desktop. Steve G. Steinberg February 1997 http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/5.02/fflifestreams.html?pg=1&topic=&topic_set=
The End of the Web, Search, and Computer as We Know It David Gelernter February 2013 http://www.wired.com/opinion/2013/02/the-end-of-the-web-computers-and-search-as-we-know-it/
David Gelernter February 2013 This LIFESTREAM — a heterogeneous, content-searchable, real-time messaging stream — arrived in the form of blog posts and RSS feeds,Twitter and other chatstreams, and Facebook walls and timelines.
David Gelernter February 2013 Today, the most important function of the internet is to deliver the latest information, to tell us what’s happening right now. Whether tweet or timeline, all are time- ordered streams designed to tell you what’s new.
The answer is....?
We must be
We must understand our information and knowledge environments

It’s Monday morning, and as I sit down for my morning cup of tea and toast, I open my iPhone to see what’s in my email, and what items in my calendar will need my attention.
In just a couple of minutes of my twitter feed (never mind all the hours I was asleep) I found: • Founders Online – a new online History resources from the US • The name of a Dr Who episode I must rewatch • Google’s efforts to build a system to help eradicate Child Porn on the web • A good post about the new learning organisation • A commentary article from the ABC that asks if Big Data is all that it’s cracked up to be • A post speculating on MOOCs as slowly deflating bubbles • A little piece of historical memorabilia about to happen – last telegram in the world • A new ProjectTomorrow research report which confirms that teachers’ unsophisticated use of tech is creating the second level digital divide

Simply using the latest 1-to-1 device, or the latest website, or the latest app is not the solution either, although these shiny new toys can provide an illusion of advancement and success.
