Digital Pedagogies: Technology and the Australian Curriculum Daniel M Groenewald

Harvesting the Power of Informal and Social Learning with SharePointJoel Oleson
Join Joel Oleson and Jerry Goguen as they dive deeper into harvesting the knowledge within the enterprise and its business value for your SharePoint implementation. Informal learning takes place in many forms and it is happening all the time. Capturing it for success is vital to any organization. As we all work more transparently and “like a network,” adoption and measurement becomes clearer and the shared knowledge remains in the organization as attrition occurs.
Embrace informal learning and see employee motivation and more recognition as well as cost savings over traditional methods. Learn how NanoLearn can provide a way to capture informal learning throughout your organization and reward your employees for their efforts and see the ultimate return on your SharePoint investment.
Social media is rapidly changing education and school environments, from students’ educational experiences to its use as a communication and information sharing tool for the education profession.
Australia has always been one of the fastest growing early adopter markets for new platforms and technologies. Coupled with the National Broadband Network (NBN) rollout, we will see even faster adoption and use. The NBN will provide enhanced infrastructure for delivering rich multimedia experiences and cloud-hosted applications in education. Over the next five years, the use of tablet devices like the iPad will become the norm and the desktop computer will disappear.
Understanding what the future will look like from a technology perspective is key to being able to develop the skills to maximise the opportunities it offers. The skills needed for teachers, students and parents in technology are quickly changing. Social media is at the forefront of this, with use and time spent in Australia online increasing significantly every year.
Understanding how to collect and share information and observe appropriate online etiquette in safe and secure ways are important concerns for educators, especially with the rapid uptake of social media. The aim of this workshop is to provide a picture of Australia’s current online usage and behaviour, outline broad international trends and their application in education and provide the opportunity to develop a safe and practical understanding of social media technologies that would be valuable in professional practice in education.

We’re working together with communities in Africa to enable them to build fully-functional, internet-enabled computer stations. We call them Hello Hubs. Each Hello Hub provides underprivileged children and adults with access to the internet: allowing them to educate themselves, communicate with others, and ultimately have a voice in the global community.

We are training 7 girls in the current program.

One that is standing out right now has left her
abusive father of her child, and started her
own business (selling snacks to school children
in the morning and evening at a nearby school
path) she has no bank account but is using her
feature phone to save through mobile money.
6. networking
•
She plans to save and buy two computers, to
train other girls like her but for a fee and open
up an internet café in her area and teach
people to use the internet.
•
Networking events encourage women to talk
about what they are doing thus creating
relationships among women in similar
situations plus identifying solutions together.
7. Future plans
•
This coming year we hope to train girls in
programming and designing so that they can build
applications and earn a living by identifying specific
organizational software solution needs and building
them, instead of looking for jobs.
•
Also to assist girls at university that do not have
personal computers which hinders their performance
by providing them with a center to access a
computer anytime at the hive colab.
