Start an information riot! Student led collaborative knowledge construction i...Peter Bryant
The response of higher education programmes to the transformative and creative spaces promulgated by web 2.0 and social media has been both inconsistent and intermittent, ignoring and embracing the potential for collaboration, knowledge construction and bricolage (Franklin & Harmelen 2007; Grosseck 2009). Outside the constraints of a Virtual Learning Environment and the University firewall, web 2.0 can support a deconstruction of the role of the teacher, a significant re-evaluation of the way knowledge is constructed and shared and a dramatic re-thinking of the inter-connections between learners, the crowd and their wider, separate networks in which learning can also occur (Downes 2009; O'Reilly 2003; Siemens 2005).
This case study will look at the use web 2.0 and social media in the design and delivery of the BA Professional Practice programme at Middlesex University. The programme utilised a set of enhanced literacies centred on a do-it-yourself inquiry philosophy, the application, sharing and reflection upon social experiences and the construction of professional identity, ‘for’ the practice of work, ‘at’ the practice of work and ‘through’ the practice of work (Garnett & Workman 2009; Hanley 2011; Kamenetz 2010).
Social Learning - The literacy that cannot be ignoreddughall
My presentation from the Northern Grid Conference 2012. I put the case for the teaching of social media skills in schools from the earliest age as essential literacy skills. The consequences of not doing so are that students may enter the world ill-equipped to communicate effectively or worse, in danger of damaging their reputations or inadvertantly committing criminal acts.
Digital literacy includes visual, electronic, and digital forms of expression and communication. It requires a lifelong commitment to remain literate as technology and culture change. Digital literacy provides benefits like higher performance with digital tasks, greater involvement with others, and more opportunities to participate and express opinions. However, there is no single definition of literacy that applies to all people and remains static over time. Constant updating of concepts and skills is needed to stay literate in the evolving information environment.
The document discusses the mission of education according to the New London Group. It aims to ensure all students can fully participate in society and the economy. Literacy pedagogy must account for increasing diversity and types of texts. The term "multiliteracies" describes the multiplicity of communication channels and increasing cultural diversity in a globalized world. It also summarizes how working, public, and private lives have changed with globalization, new technologies, and emphasis on markets and identity. Schools must prepare students for diverse and changing realities by transforming outcomes incrementally and supplementing what schools already do.
The document discusses teaching Generation Z students, who have grown up with technology like the internet, smartphones, and video games. It outlines new media skills students need, such as media literacy, networking, and evaluating online information. The challenges for schools are integrating these technological skills into education and teaching students how to critically analyze and remix digital content.
This document discusses the concept of multiliteracies as developed by the New London Group. It was coined to describe the growing linguistic and cultural diversity in communities as well as the influence of new communication technologies where meaning is made through multimodal ways. The multiliteracies framework views knowledge and meaning as socially constructed and advocates for an education that develops flexible, active learners who can communicate and solve problems in diverse contexts rather than passively receiving information. It involves immersing students in experiences, overt instruction, critically analyzing socio-cultural contexts, and applying learning in new situations.
The document discusses participatory culture and new media literacies. It defines participatory culture as having low barriers to participation, valuing contributions, and feeling social connection. New media literacies involve skills like collaboration, networking, and collective intelligence. The document explores forms of participatory culture like affiliations, creative expressions, collaborative problem solving, and circulations. It provides examples of online activities and resources that teachers could use to design instruction incorporating new literacies and participatory culture.

ICT Megatrend and Project based learningBarlin Kesuma
This document discusses ICT megatrends and project-based learning. It introduces the author and their contact information. The document then lists some ICT megatrends like traffic, connectivity, and platforms. It also discusses key words in learning like equal opportunity and solving educational divides. Project-based learning is proposed as a smart learning trend. The document discusses challenges of cross-cultural learning and benefits to students, like developing 21st century skills. It asks if readers are ready to collaborate and provides examples of platforms to find international partners for school collaboration projects.
The document discusses MICDS Upper School's curriculum and approach to technology which focuses on developing 21st century skills in students like visual/media literacy, information literacy, and digital citizenship. It emphasizes shifting from consuming to evaluating, constructing and creating knowledge in a globally connected world. MICDS aims to have an intentional, responsive and proactive curriculum supported by technology, collaboration between teachers and specialists, and experiences like graphic novels, speaker series, electives and role plays to prepare students.
This document summarizes a presentation on 21st century learning and media advocacy. It discusses why advocacy is important, as well as some common problems with advocacy like ignorance, fatigue, lack of empathy, and information overload. It then provides examples of 21st century skills like collaboration, sharing, integrity, openness and interdependence. It also discusses principles of media education according to David Gauntlett and skills for participatory culture outlined by Henry Jenkins. Finally, it discusses using real clients and authentic audiences for advocacy work and potential distribution methods.
The document discusses teaching Generation Z students, who grew up with technology like smartphones, laptops, and video games. It notes that Generation Z students are adept at multitasking and using new media skills like remixing content, but schools need to better integrate technology into teaching to make it truly useful. New media literacies are important for technology-savvy students to fully participate in today's society and schools should focus on developing students' critical understanding and evaluation of online information.
Rethinking literacy education in new times reinildesbruna_fontoura
This document discusses new approaches to literacy education called multiliteracies, multimodality, and new literacies. It notes literacy now involves multiple modes of meaning-making beyond just reading and writing, like visuals, sounds, and designs. New literacies are shaped by emerging technologies and involve multimodal meaning-making across varied modes. While research has not fully established the impact of multimodal communication, the document argues it is important for educators to learn how to use different communication modes for classroom learning to help students participate in today's world.
This document discusses the relationship between globalization and nationalism, and the implications for education leaders. It notes that while globalization aims to integrate the world, nationalism has led to the fragmentation of nations. This fragmentation could persist and dilute the ability to address global problems. However, nationalism can also strengthen cultural identities. The document considers how education can balance these competing forces by developing global citizens while still promoting cultural diversity. It examines the various impacts of globalization on students' cultural, economic, physical, ethical, and academic lives.
Globalization refers to the increasing interaction and integration between people around the world through advances in technology and transportation. It is characterized by borderless exchange, cultural diversity, mobility, and information sharing. In education, globalization allows students and teachers to interact with different schools worldwide and share information and ideas to improve classroom practices. Promoting globalization in the classroom can involve activities like connecting with pen pals in other countries or learning about different cultures through videos.

It is characterized by borderless exchange, cultural diversity, mobility, and information sharing. In education, globalization allows students and teachers to interact with others worldwide, share information and ideas to improve teaching practices, and gain new perspectives through understanding different cultures. Promoting globalization in classrooms can be done through activities like connecting with pen pals in other countries and learning about their cultures.
This document discusses the concept of digital literacy and its importance in modern society. Digital literacy refers to an individual's ability to use digital tools and access, evaluate, and communicate information online. The scope of literacy has broadened beyond traditional reading and writing to include visual and electronic skills. There are many types of literacies that have developed within different social contexts, including digital literacy, information literacy, and media literacy. Attaining a good understanding of digital formats and information is an essential part of being digitally literate. The development of technology both shapes relationships in society but is also shaped by social and cultural forces. Education plays an important role in developing digital literacy competencies.
Teachers as Makers: Content Creation as a Pedagogy of LearningRenee Hobbs
Professor Renee Hobbs shows how creative media production and collaboration are key dimensions of effective professional development of teachers, enabling them to advance digital learning that reflects their curriculum goals, their motivations and values, and the needs of their learners.
This document discusses how digital literacies and new technologies can be incorporated into school literacy curriculums in the 21st century. It provides examples of how students can use tools like blogs, podcasts, digital storytelling, and programming to develop identities as writers and engage in participatory and collaborative learning experiences. The document contrasts passive content consumption with participatory cultures enabled by Web 2.0, where users actively create and share content.
This document discusses multiliteracies and the changing nature of literacy in a digital world. It addresses the history of literacy and how technology has changed literacy over time, from the printing press to computers and digital technologies. It explores the concept of multiple literacies and how literacy looks different inside and outside the classroom. The document also examines how multimedia and digital technologies can be incorporated into the classroom to teach multiple literacies and benefit both students and teachers. It provides examples of digital tools and technologies that can be used, such as blogs, wikis, digital storytelling, and discusses best practices for teaching multiple literacies to students.
Craig Charnock talks about the critical role of language and relationships in a sustainable transition at the Growing Green Economies event in Cape Town on 16 August 2016.
Renee Hobbs is a professor of communication studies and director of the Media Education Lab at the University of Rhode Island. She discusses how literacy is expanding due to the convergence of media forms and platforms. Educators are developing consensus around instructional practices that support lifelong learning with digital and media texts. There are differing perspectives on priorities for digital literacy education but widespread agreement on learning processes that promote lifelong learning, including access, analysis, creation, reflection, and taking action.
This document discusses the aims and examples of global education projects that connect students around the world using internet technology. The goals are to develop cross-cultural communication, collaboration, citizenship, and creativity skills. Examples provided include a creative writing workshop connecting schools worldwide through a wiki, an environmental protection project by students from Taiwan, Canada and the USA, and a cultural comparisons project by students from Canada, Malaysia and the USA.
5 connections between globalization and education Med 560ako81688
This document discusses 5 connections between globalization and education: 1) Increased diversity in classrooms due to more international students and migration, 2) Impact on socioeconomic status and access to education, 3) Changes in education funding models with more private/international investment, 4) Delocalization of schooling with more online/distance learning options, 5) Growing role of social media in education. It includes 4 works cited used as sources on the topic.
The document discusses MICDS' curriculum and approach to technology integration. It highlights the school's focus on developing 21st century skills in students like visual/media literacy, information literacy, and digital citizenship. MICDS supports these skills through an intentional curriculum, opportunities for student personal learning, and collaborative use of instructional technology. The school's approach has received national and international recognition.
Technology is imperative for engaging students in today's class discussions and lectures. As technology has increased the complexity of literate environments, 21st century students must possess a wide range of abilities including the tools of technology. Education cannot lag behind the future, which is focused on technology and multi-screening. Incorporating technology improves students' skills like communication, collaboration, problem solving and prepares them for global communities.

Conference paper presentation at the
19th International Conference on Diversity in Organizations, Communities & Nations
https://ondiversity.com/2019-conference
Social media has become a ubiquitous web tool used by diverse groups for various purposes. The easy accessibility of social media means that those with internet access and minimal digital skills can use it. However, true social media literacy requires more than just technical skills due to the complexities of creating, sharing, consuming, interpreting and evaluating content that is publicly accessible and generated by both oneself and others.
1. The document discusses ways to measure social media in public relations, from basic metrics like impressions and reach to more advanced metrics that establish causation between communications activities and business outcomes.
2. It addresses common myths around digital ROI and the misconception that activity equals value. The key is to establish clear objectives and define success in measurable terms from the outset.
3. A framework is presented that distinguishes between measuring output, impact and outcomes. Output looks at engagement, impact looks at passive and active engagement, while outcomes demonstrate value through metrics like revenue, customer satisfaction and thought leadership.

The document provides information on social media including definitions of key terms, statistics on internet and mobile usage, demographics of social media users, and strategies for social media engagement. It discusses various social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Flickr, and YouTube. The document also touches on metrics for measuring social media performance like return on investment, key performance indicators, and approaches from McKinsey and Forrester.
This document discusses digital citizenship at The School at Columbia University. It provides examples of teachable moments involving students misusing shared documents and social networks. It outlines the technology resources available to students, including Google Apps, photos, videos, and an internal social network. It discusses frameworks for digital citizenship including ISTE standards and Henry Jenkins' new media literacies of skills like performance, appropriation, and collective intelligence. Examples are given of students applying these skills in projects involving Photoshop, character profiles, and data visualization. The document concludes with principles for students on making wise choices when using technology and maintaining an academic and respectful online community.
Digital literacy involves more than just the ability to read and write, and now means the ability to understand information across different media formats. It requires skills in deciphering complex images, sounds, and language. Digitally literate people can move between different media types and present information in a way their audience can easily understand. Central competencies of digital literacy include reading and understanding different formats, creating and sharing digital information, evaluating information, and practicing information and media literacy. These skills are widely needed but unevenly possessed globally. As technology advances rapidly, digital literacy as a field continues to evolve and teachers and students must constantly update their skills to stay engaged.
This document discusses collaborating with new media and new literacies in classrooms. It introduces Karen Blumberg and Don Buckley, who discuss the school's new media server including Google Apps, The Gallery, The Tube, and The Social Network. It also discusses concepts like media, literacy, new media, new literacies. Henry Jenkins is quoted discussing how participatory culture shifts literacy from individual expression to community involvement. Various new media literacies are also listed, like play, performance, simulation, appropriation, and multitasking. Examples are given of how different subjects incorporate some of these new media literacies.
The document discusses the changing definition and skills of literacy in the 21st century. It outlines how new technologies and a globalized world require students to develop skills in areas like collaboration, digital literacy, and multimodal communication. Effective 21st century instruction emphasizes participation, integration of technology, and teaching students to evaluate online information.
In the closing keynote to the Media Education Summit in Prague in 2014, Professor Hobbs shares insights gained from working with educators and researchers in Turkey, Russia, Brazil and Israel who are exploring media literacy pedagogy and practice at the elementary and secondary levels. She
describes and analyzes an example of a global media
literacy project that involved Turkish and American
middle-school students. Professor Hobbs considers
how teacher motivations regarding the use of digital
media interact with structural relationships between
government, school and higher education to produce
differential opportunities for innovation. She identifies the many flavors of digital literacy now circulating in contemporary culture and shows how collaborative global research in media literacy education can help researchers examine and question some fundamental assumptions and
expectations of the field.
Digital Futures is a resource that aims to help educators understand and explore what it means to be digitally literate. It discusses how the definition of literacy has changed over time and explores different views on literacy, including as a set of cognitive skills, as a social practice, and critical literacy. The resource also examines how digital literacy can be incorporated into school-based literacy teaching by using technologies to encourage creativity, critical thinking, and home-school connections. Challenges of using digital technologies in schools are also addressed, as well as visions for the future of education.
This document discusses how social media and new technologies are changing how students learn and access information. It provides statistics showing students are increasingly going online at earlier ages and using mobile devices and social media. This shift requires schools and libraries to guide students in developing digital literacy and citizenship skills. The document reviews various social media and collaboration tools libraries can implement, such as blogs, wikis and video sites. It emphasizes the importance of libraries developing social media policies and using new tools to help students learn effectively in the digital age.
Presentation by Jennifer D. Klein at GlobalEdCon2011. Explores some of the best ideas out there about why and how to globalize the curriculum, looking at a variety of excellent examples of global projects across the K-12 curriculum.
This presentation gives a small taste of the material offered by Jennifer through her TIGed Professional Development e-Courses, as well as through live in-service presentations and teacher coaching in schools.
This document discusses shifts towards digital fluency and embracing change in education. It notes that children are immersed in digital technologies from a young age, but the idea of "digital natives" is inaccurate as access and opportunities vary. It defines digital fluency as using technologies readily and strategically for learning, work and play. Communicating, connecting and collaborating online requires network literacies and understanding how networks function. Examples show using relevant modes, the power of global audiences, utilizing networks, and teaching/learning online. Embracing change involves planning for technology renewal, evaluating emerging technologies, responsible use policies, embracing free and open resources, understanding privacy and citizenship issues online.
The document summarizes Dr. James Stanfield's lecture on alternative views of the future of learning. It discusses futures thinking and looking beyond short-term constraints. It also outlines OECD's learning framework 2030, which envisions developing student agency, knowledge, skills, attitudes and values to thrive in a changing world. The framework emphasizes competencies like creativity, collaboration and digital literacy.
The document discusses the shift towards participatory culture and how it impacts learning. It outlines three key points:
1) Young people are actively creating and sharing media online within social networks, requiring new skills like collaboration, problem solving and creativity. However, schools have been slow to adapt.
2) Informal learning through social media and online communities is stepping in, teaching skills like collective intelligence and transmedia navigation.
3) Studies show learning now occurs both in and out of school as youth seamlessly move between physical and online spaces, gaining knowledge through peer interactions and mentors in their interest areas.
This document discusses the characteristics and media habits of 21st century learners, also known as the Net Generation. It notes that 8-10 year olds spend almost 8 hours per day consuming media, with most of that time spent outside the classroom. Only 38 minutes is spent reading books each day. The document advocates preparing students for their future by letting them create, collaborate, and communicate using technology in the classroom.
The document discusses how digital technologies and the internet have changed how students learn and engage with information. It describes key concepts like digital natives, participatory culture, Web 2.0, social software, and new literacies that have emerged in a networked world. Various online tools that support collaboration, communication, and learning are also presented, such as RSS feeds, blogs, wikis, and synchronous editing platforms.
This presentation by Jennifer D. Klein explores the importance of global education and educational strategies and pedagogy for transformative student experiences. Presented as part of the LearnCentral webinar series on August 31, 2011. See more about Jennifer's work at www.principledlearning.org.
Pulitzer Center and Student News Action Network PowerpointMark Schulte
The Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting provides short, accessible articles on under-reported international stories. It offers travel grants to journalists to cover issues from the field. The Center's Global Gateway program inspires students to engage with news and aims to educate students about global issues through online interactions with journalists and multimedia projects.
This summarizes a document about a participatory action research project on professional development for teachers. The project worked with a group of New Hampshire teachers called Early Adopters to integrate new media literacies into the curriculum. It used a distributed expertise model where teachers learned collaboratively as peers rather than relying only on individual expertise. Teachers completed media literacy challenges and shared lessons, gaining skills in areas like appropriation and negotiation. The project showed the value of teachers learning through participatory cultures and helped them apply new skills to their teaching practices.
This document discusses the changing literacy demands of the 21st century and recommendations for education policy. It notes that 21st century literacy requires skills like technology proficiency, collaboration, managing information, and ethical responsibility. Research shows that early childhood literacy programs, continued professional development for teachers, performance-based assessments, and technology infrastructure all help prepare students for 21st century literacy demands. The document recommends policies that support comprehensive literacy programs, professional development, performance assessments, and technology in schools.
The document discusses literacy for engaging in a participatory culture. It argues that developing new media literacies requires understanding our relationships with media, not just technology. A focus on media emphasizes the social and cultural practices that emerge around communication tools. The document outlines several core new media literacies like play, performance, and collaboration that are important for full participation in today's media landscape. It also discusses how initiatives are working to help students tap into rich learning networks through connected learning approaches.

The final instructions are to save the composite as a JPEG and upload it to a class gallery.
How to Fix the Import Error in the Odoo 17Celine George
An import error occurs when a program fails to import a module or library, disrupting its execution. In languages like Python, this issue arises when the specified module cannot be found or accessed, hindering the program's functionality. Resolving import errors is crucial for maintaining smooth software operation and uninterrupted development processes.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
