Scenarios

Assistant to CEO:
You are an assistant for a CEO of a large company. She has just approached you with the following task. “I have a meeting in 20 minutes with a prospective new client named Mint.com. I know nothing about them! I need you to research the company for me and have an e-mail in my inbox in 15 minutes with the run down of who this company is and what they do, and the potential for growth in the market in which they operate.” Two paragraphs will do.

Broker:
You are a broker for a large financial initiation. Your boss has heard of a new company that just launching an IPO and needs to know more about the company before he walks into a meeting in 20 minutes. He only has a stock symbol of XRS. Please send him a two paragraph summary of the company, your recommendation for purchase or not with explanation.

Advertising:
Your advertising firm has just been hired by Barnes & Noble to come up with a slogan for their new e-reader that launched last week. Look at the competition of devices in this area and then suggest a slogan and an explanation on why you think this slogan is right for this new device.

Stock Trader:
You are do in a meeting in 20 minutes and the firm you work for wants you to quickly come up with a recommendation on whether they should invest in Netflix.com. He needs a concise two paragraphs with your recommendation and explanation.

Agricultural Expert:
A farmer brings you in a picture of a problem he's having with his wheat. He's waiting in the waiting room for you to come up with what the disease is and what he can do about it.

Connectivism: A Learning Theory

cambridgedeli — Sat, 25 Sep 2010 23:29:25 CDT

Constructivist Theory (1967)

Jean Piaget suggested that through processes of accommodation and assimilation, individuals construct new knowledge from their experiences.
Social constructivism views each learner as a unique individual with unique needs and backgrounds.
Social constructivism encourages the learner to arrive at his or her own version of the truth, influenced by his or her background, culture or embedded worldview.
It is argued that the responsibility of learning should reside increasingly with the learner (Von Glasersfeld 1989). Social constructivism thus emphasizes the importance of the learner being actively involved in the learning process, unlike previous educational viewpoints where the responsibility rested with the instructor to teach and where the learner played a passive, receptive role.
According to the social constructivist approach, instructors have to adapt to the role of facilitators and not teachers (Bauersfeld, 1995). Where a teacher gives a didactic lecture which covers the subject matter, a facilitator helps the learner to get to his or her own understanding of the content.
Social constructivist scholars view learning as an active process where learners should learn to discover principles, concepts and facts for themselves, hence the importance of encouraging guesswork and intuitive thinking in learners (Brown et al.1989; Ackerman 1996).

Connectivism A Theory for the Digital Age (2004)
Connectivism is the integration of principles explored by chaos, network, and complexity and self-organization theories. Learning is a process that occurs within nebulous environments of shifting core elements – not entirely under the control of the individual. Learning (defined as actionable knowledge) can reside outside of ourselves (within an organization or a database), is focused on connecting specialized information sets, and the connections that enable us to learn more are more important than our current state of knowing.

Principles of connectivism:

Learning and knowledge rests in diversity of opinions.
Learning is a process of connecting specialized nodes or information sources.
Learning may reside in non-human appliances.
Capacity to know more is more critical than what is currently known
Nurturing and maintaining connections is needed to facilitate continual learning.
Ability to see connections between fields, ideas, and concepts is a core skill.
Currency (accurate, up-to-date knowledge) is the intent of all connectivist learning activities.
Decision-making is itself a learning process. Choosing what to learn and the meaning of incoming information is seen through the lens of a shifting reality. While there is a right answer now, it may be wrong tomorrow due to alterations in the information climate affecting the decision.

Sustaining Blogging in the Classroom

Anonymous — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 12:04:03 CDT

Take aways:
- Getting past the “Cool factor” is difficult when introducing blogs into the classroom. It doesn't take long for blogs to go from something we do in our classroom to another thing we have to do. Why is that? Why do these very powerful tools repeatedly get tried, tested, and then put off just like paperwork in the classroom. Why is sustaining blogging in the everyday classroom so difficult?

- The approach: Blogs need to be conversations and that is what we are going to focus on.

- Conversations are two way communication
- Web 2.0 or Read/Write web tools allow for this two way communication
- You have to both speak and listen
- or read and write

- In order to sustain blogging in the classroom you have to allow this conversation to take place. You have to give students both time to read and write.

- Mark Ahlness a 3th grade teacher in Seattle has adapted the silent reading time in his classroom to include reading blogs and web sites.

- Only after students are engaged in the conversation process can true blogging take place. There are many ways to use blogs...but blogging as a gerund is a conversation.

- As a teacher, you can guide the conversation of the blog. Help students find other blogs or websites to read on the topic you are studying. Help them start the conversations and then encourage them to continue the conversation by writing on their own blog.

- We respond two ways in a conversation. There are the short reassuring “a ha” and the longer responses to questions or ideas.
- These two responses of a conversation can also be translated into blogs and blogging by either leaving a comment (a aha moment) or be posting a response to someone else’s idea on your own blog. When we are in a conversation both are important appropriate responses that help to carry on the conversation.

- Help students set up a network of websites or blogs that they can read and respond too.
- Look at how Mark and Clarence have set up networks of other blogs for their student to explore
- Scott Hossack set each of his students up with an RSS reader and 15 websites and blogs to start the conversation from there, students added and deleted blogs as they took part in different conversations.

- By first focusing on the reading and responding to others we help students to “listen' in the blogosphere. Just like in real conversations listening before speaking is a good skill.

- When it is a student's turn to write or respond, how do you help them to understand an appropriate response? How do we teach them this new skill of digital communication?
- We model it for them
- Scott, Mark, Clarence
- We hold conversations in our classrooms about writing, about grammar and about digital literacy...or the understanding of digital text. Good writing has not changed but what blogging allows our students to do is practice good writing in a new media.

- So if blogs are a conversation how do you assess a digital conversation? How do you turn blogging into something you can quantify? How you do this is ultimately up to you, but Scott Hossack as SAS gave the control back to the students and had them create rubrics that would grade these new conversations.

Mark Ahlness on sustaining blogging in the classroom:
Get involved in the conversation with other teacher/educator bloggers – blog, comment, cite, etc. – and don’t wait for or expect local sustenance. Count on the larger community – it will sustain you and your efforts, if you are a part of it.

Clarence Fisher on sustaining blogging in the classroom:
Connections, comments, and priority.

Make connections with other people, other classes and within your class. Don't turn it into a writing assignment but it needs to be a conversation.

Comments = ties into the first one. Comments are important as they show the conversation and that we are all learners together. I teach kids how to write good comments and leave plenty of them myself. We are all in this together.

Priority = It needs time in classrooms. It cant be an extra or an add on. it needs to be business as usual. it requires regular class time to show it is important.

Scott Hossack on sustaining blogging in the classroom:

I think that we need to as teachers recognize the importance of Blogging as a way of communicating. In the past we thought that writing should be formatted in a certain way and that you need to revise and that everyone needs to be writing on the same topic. Yet with Blogging kids can entwined reading and writing and communicating with a purpose for them. You can even get students to buy into the importance of writing properly because they know that an audience will be out there reading.

Many schools today still have not moved past the first tools of the web known as Web 1.0. Where information is static and e-mail rules the way we communicate. In the past 3 years we have seen a shift from static information on the web to dynamic, ever changing information.

Our students and our communities are starting to demand dynamic information.

"For those of you who have just figured out how to zap spam or manage your inbox, prepare for the bad news: E-mail is, like, so yesterday." (Oct. 2, 2006)

Anonymous — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 19:16:14 CDT

Description: This all day pre conference session will examine the basics of setting up a globally networked classroom. We will concentrate on three areas: pedagogy, tools and curriculum. We will spend time looking at and trying out some of the latest tools that teachers can use in their classrooms as well as discussing the changes in pedagogy that support these tools. Finally, we will look at how curriculum fits in to this puzzle as well, driving the learning that happens in a classroom.

Pedagogy:

I am most interested in finding out how to connect with other classes in meaningful ways.
I would like to focus on how to set up authentic connections that match curriculum and have specific student learning outcomes.
I want to leave this day with strategies for finding other classrooms who would like to connect and work with our students. I second this.
The one thing is advice on how to tie all of this stuff together meaningfully. I am great with ideas and experimentation but rubbish at consolidation.
How to connect with or the students beyond the classroom

http://theconnectedclassroom.wikispaces.com/

Tools:

Top 5 apps/web 2.0 tools?
Google Apps (deeper than what are they). Like millions of others, I see great promise here for collaboration in the classroom.
New Digital Storytelling tools. They are constantly evolving.
Moodle learning system
Using Web 2.0
Efficient and effective ways in using computers and multimedia projectors in the classroom.

Curriculum:

I'd really like inspiration and new ideas, as well as practical tips on how I can use these resources, among others, in my classrooms.
Top 5 or 10 do’s and don’ts with technology in the classroom (everybody loves lists! – encourage others to bring theirs and share)
Advice on methods to up-skill teachers
If there are no discrete ICT lessons in KS3, how would, say a whole year group, be taught something important related to ICT. For example, say a new multimedia server goes on line, or method of printing changes, how would these skills be taught?
Best practices in integrating technology into classroom curriculum.

Connectivism: A Learning Theory for the 21st Century

Stuff for IT Job-A-Like Session

Mac vs windows environment – if both in the same classroom what can be done alleviate the problems?
My school is rolling in a 1:1 programme – what advice do you and others have?
Do they allow a range of platforms and portable devices or specify a PC, Mac or Linux?
Thoughts/issues allowing multi-platform and device type?
What do schools do to allow printing services for the students?
Schools represented with 1:1
Does school with a 1:1 still offer discrete CS courses (IGCSE CS and ICT) and IB?
Electronic tools for assessment: I am currently using Bento for portfolios and individualized comments about students. What assessment workflows do you recommend?
SMART Boards. Don't have one currently, but it's only a matter of time. I need to be convinced that they are transformative in instruction by a non-sales rep.

What in the World is a Wiki?

jutecht — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 23:09:57 CDT

A wiki is software that allows users to collaboratively create, edit, link, and organize the content of a website, usually for reference material. Wikis are often used to create collaborative websites and to power community websites. These wiki websites are often also referred to as wikis; for example, Wikipedia is one of the best known wikis. (Wikipedia, March, 2008)

Wiki Settings:

Open/Public: Anyone on the Internet can add, change, create content on the wiki
Protected: Must be invited to add, change, create content on the wiki but everyone can see the content
Private: Only those invited can add, change, create content and can see the wiki.
