Evolving ersonalized Information Construct

Pile of trivia,
2015 - Journalist begins to correct and filter broadcasts.
2004 is when Web2.0 was launched and this changed everything. We had just gotten over the tech bubble that burst in 1999-2000 when a bunch of petcom collapsed on themselves so a bunch of engineers had nothing to do from 2001 to 2003 when then there was venture capital money available again. So the evolutionary climb began again.
The current huge economica crash will foster another burst of creativity because we are forced to.

2004: just gotten over the tech bubble. allows for the creation of web 2.0. VC $ to fund these closet engineers.
Creativity at its highest in hard economic times. What will happen at the end of this financial crisis?
Revolutionize the print industry.
Christian Science Monitor completely digital by 2009.
Tribune Company has cut newsroomby halfin seven years.
TV Guide (company) sold for $1.
These companies haveaudience but no consumers.
Educators have always wanted itfree: photocopying books, ignoring copyright. Society is there now.
Craigslisthas taken over classified revenues from newspapers.
Education
We have an audience, but without engagement?
What engages them in the learning process?
Students haven't changed, their needs haven't changed.
We are doing old things in new ways. This does not change learning.
New things in new waysis how we change learning.
Jumpstart the community through
PLN.
Does the school have a way of promoting UNIS?
Are you hiring teachers with a social presence?
How do you make contacts with content?Cyrille
You don't get to decide where the community is. Do you understand how to create
PLNs? Do you understand how to take kids into PLNs?
We have no ideas where we will go in the future; we have no ideas what we can get from our current data; what is the future?
how do we educate kids for tomorrow?
Content is flat; anybody has access to any content.
Adapt or die; life long learning is the key; what does it mean to be adaptable.
1. Video on the direction of content management made in 2004 (the year everything changed).a. connections between the existing content we access eg. google + amazon = googlezon
b.
In 2004 we got over the tech bubble. 2001 tech industry burst. This necessitated tech engineers to find "something to do." They got creative! eg. google.
What did they get right?
a. GoogleEarth
b. Buy Keyhole
c. Ipods -
d. Geotagging photographs (we are ahead with this one)
e.Printnews media going completely digital (NY Times folds in the video). Tribune (Hollywood movie reveiew has 1 staff member left reviewing Hollywood movies)
f. consumers want content free!
g.
What did they get wronga. Google + amazon
b. Ipods with Wifi (not till iphone)
c.
Huge economic crash recently. What will happen now. People will get creative to manage the downturn
consumers want content free! Educators have been doing this for years ("ignoring" copyright)
Problem isn't finding an audience, but engaging that audience (in education). We need to find ways of teaching concepts in a way that engages the audience (students).
Question: Blog post (jeff): You have to create a community before you get the participation. Thought: "As soon as you make it school, the counterculture (it's school so I don't want to do it) Kids don't want to do it.How do you get around this?
a. posters moved to powerpoints. Outcome remains the same.Oldthings innewways. This doesn't change learning.Learning changes when we donewthings innewways.
Use your own Network to kickstart the network you are developing for your kids. Jeff has 1800 tweeters/2600 blog readers that he can draw towards his kids work by linking through his own Social Network.Can we (the teacher) create our own social network that we can draw on to comment on our kids work?
PLN = Personal Learning Network
Using the social network for hiring -What can I bring to this job? - 2000 other educators who can help me!.
Got distracted here: Jeff was talking about Twitter and understanding how to use the PLN. TWITTER WORKS! (several people responded to Jeff's question).
Tomorrow is not today.How do we educate kids today for tomorrow if we don't know what it is?
Content is flat. Are we teaching kids to be lifelong learners? Do we know what it means to adapt.
Video:
Kids arecommunicatingoutside of school but we ban these things in school.
Will classrooms be bricks and mortar spaces.
Opportunities to provide the best quality teachers regardless of where you live (itunes U)
Classroom system vs. Community system
If I want students to do this, we need get teachers to do it first. Teachers need a task/place to make this work.
Global creativity
Multiple disciplinary/lingual/ kids will need to be more than justknowledgeable.
All this is verydifferentto the model we were raised in!
