1. In times of change, learners inherit the Earth, while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists. Eric Hoffer

2. Engaging Digital Natives Examining 21 st century literacies and their implications for teaching social studies in the digital age. Jennifer Carrier Dorman http://jdorman.wikispaces.com/Conferences

3. http://jdorman.wikispaces.com/Conferences

5. We are at a turning point in the tech industry and perhaps even in the history of the world Tim O’Reilly – Feb. 14, 2006

6. The Case for 21 st Century Education  Education is changing.  Competition is changing internationally.  The workplace, jobs, and skill demands are changing.

8. The World is Flat  Thomas L. Friedman  Describes the unplanned cascade of technological and social shifts that effectively leveled the economic world  Implications for educational systems –http://www.eschoolnews.com/eti/2005/05/000835. php http://www.eschoolnews.com/eti/2005/05/000835. phphttp://www.eschoolnews.com/eti/2005/05/000835. php

9. The Flatteners # 1-3  Fall of the Berlin Wall / rise of Windows OS  Netscape IPO / dotcom boom  Work flow software / design, display, manage, and collaborate

10. The Flatteners # 4-8  Open sourcing / self organizing collaborative communities  Outsourcing  Offshoring  Supply-chaining  In-forming (affinity networks)

11. The Flatteners # 10  The Steroids: Digital, Mobile, Personal, and Virtual –These are all the “new” gadgets, technologies, social norms, and etc. that are accelerating the other flatteners

12. Implications for the Workforce  Categories of “untouchables” –Special (celebrity-types; e.g. Prince William) –Specialized (skills that are always in high demand; e.g. doctors) –Anchored (jobs that must be conducted face-to- face in a specific location with a perpetual client base; e.g. plumber) –Really Adaptable (can constantly acquire new knowledge, skills, and expertise that enable the creation of value; e.g. the life-long learner)

13. The illiterate of the 21 st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn. Alvin Toffler

14. Global Implications  These changes, among others, are ushering us toward a world where knowledge, power, and productive capability will be more dispersed than at any time in our history—a world where value creation will be fast, fluid, and persistently disruptive.  A world where only the connected will survive.

15. Global Implications  A power shift is underway, and a tough new business rule is emerging: Harness the new collaboration or perish.  Those who fail to grasp this will find themselves ever more isolated—cut off from the networks that are sharing, adapting, and updating knowledge to create value.

16. Get flat or be flattened

17. Implications for Schools  For smart schools [companies], the rising tide of mass collaboration offers vast opportunity…Schools [Companies] can reach beyond their walls to sow the seeds of innovation and harvest a bountiful crop. –(edits by Will Richardson, original words in brackets)

18. Implications for Schools  Indeed, educators [firms] that cultivate nimble, trust-based relationships with external collaborators are positioned to form vibrant classroom [business] ecosystems that enhance learning [create value] more effectively than hierarchically organized schools [businesses]. –(edits by Will Richardson, original words in brackets)

19. My Mission – 4C History  Create  Communicate  Collaborate  Contextualize

20. Digital Natives Who are the digital natives and what is their learning profile?

21. Digital Natives  It is now clear that as a result of this ubiquitous information environment and the sheer volume of their interaction with it, today’s students think and process information fundamentally differently from their predecessors. –Marc Prensky – “Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants” 2001

22. Digital Natives  “Different kinds of experiences lead to different brain structures” - Dr. Bruce D. Berry of Baylor College of Medicine. –it is very likely that our students’ brains and thinking patterns have changed – and are different from ours – as a result of how they grew up

23. Who are the digital natives?  Our students today are all “native speakers” of the digital language of computers, video games, instantaneous communication, and the Internet.  Those of us who were not born into the digital world but have, at some later point in our lives, become fascinated by and adopted many or most aspects of the new technology are Digital Immigrants.

24. The Challenge  Our Digital Immigrant instructors, who speak an outdated language (that of the pre-digital age), are struggling to teach a population that speaks an entirely new language

25. The Nomadic Grazing Patterns of Digital Natives  Digital Natives are used to receiving information really fast.  They like to parallel process and multi- task.  They prefer their graphics before their text rather than the opposite.

26. The Nomadic Grazing Patterns of Digital Natives  They prefer random access (like hypertext).  They function best when networked.  They thrive on instant gratification and frequent rewards.  They prefer games to “serious” work.

27. Methodology  Today’s teachers have to learn to communicate in the language and style of their students. –This doesn’t mean changing the meaning of what is important, or of good thinking skills.

28. Web 2.0 The evolution of the semantic read/write web

29. Web 1.0  Web 2.0

30. What is Web 2.0?  Web 2.0 is a term often applied to a perceived ongoing transition of the World Wide Web from a collection of static websites to a full- fledged computing platform serving web applications to end users. –Tim O’Reilly

31. The New WWW  Whatever  Whenever  Wherever –Tom March, Web-based educator, author, and instructional designer

32. The New WWW  The New WWW—offering us whatever we want, whenever and wherever we want it— may seem like just an extension of our already- technology-enhanced contemporary life  To counteract the New WWW’s potentially harmful impact on youth, educators must use technology to create learning experiences that are real, rich, and relevant

33. Confronting the Challenges of a Participatory Culture Media Education for the 21 st Century Henry Jenkins, Director of the Comparative Media Studies Program at MIT

34.   “If it were possible to define generally the mission of education, it could be said that its fundamental purpose is to ensure that all students benefit from learning in ways that allow them to participate fully in public, community, [Creative] and economic life.” — New London Group (2000)

35. Participatory Culture   According to a recent study from the Pew Internet & American Life project (Lenhardt & Madden, 2005), more than one-half of all teens have created media content, and roughly one- third of teens who use the Internet have shared content they produced.

36. A Participatory Culture...   Relatively low barriers to artistic expression and civic engagement   Strong support for creating and sharing one’s creations with others   Some type of informal mentorship whereby what is known by the most experienced is passed along to novices

37. A Participatory Culture...   Members believe that their contributions matter   Members feel some degree of social connection with one another (at the least they care what other people think about what they have created)

38. Forms of Participatory Culture   Affiliations — memberships, formal and informal, in online communities centered around various forms of media, such as Friendster, Facebook, message boards, metagaming, Second Life, or MySpace   Expressions — producing new creative forms, such as digital sampling, skinning and modding, fan videomaking, fan fiction writing, zines, mash-ups

39. Forms of Participatory Culture   Collaborative Problem-solving — working together in teams, formal and informal, to complete tasks and develop new knowledge (such as through Wikipedia, alternative reality gaming, spoiling).   Circulations — Shaping the flow of media (such as podcasting, blogging).

40. Implications   A growing body of scholarship suggests potential benefits of these forms of participatory culture, including: – –opportunities for peer-to-peer learning, – –a changed attitude toward intellectual property, – –the diversification of cultural expression, – –the development of skills valued in the modern workplace, and a more empowered conception of citizenship.

41. Implications   Participatory culture shifts the focus of literacy from one of individual expression to community involvement.   The new literacies almost all involve social skills developed through collaboration and networking.   These skills build on the foundation of traditional literacy, research skills, technical skills, and critical analysis skills taught in the classroom.

42. The New Literacies   Play — the capacity to experiment with one’s surroundings as a form of problem-solving   Performance — the ability to adopt alternative identities for the purpose of improvisation and discovery   Simulation — the ability to interpret and construct dynamic models of real-world processes   Appropriation — the ability to meaningfully sample and remix media content

43. The New Literacies   Multitasking — the ability to scan one’s environment and shift focus as needed to salient details.   Distributed Cognition — the ability to interact meaningfully with tools that expand mental capacities   Collective Intelligence — the ability to pool knowledge and compare notes with others toward a common goal   Judgment — the ability to evaluate the reliability and credibility of different information sources

44. The New Literacies   Transmedia Navigation — the ability to follow the flow of stories and information across multiple modalities   Networking — the ability to search for, synthesize, and disseminate information   Negotiation — the ability to travel across diverse communities, discerning and respecting multiple perspectives, and grasping and following alternative norms.

45. The New Literacies Current Applications

82. Podcasts Students as Producers

83. Podcasts  iPod + Broadcast = Podcast –Amateur radio –Podcasting is the method of distributing multimedia files, such as audio programs or music videos, over the Internet using either the RSS or Atom syndication formats, for playback on mobile devices and personal computers.

84. Why use podcasts?  Podcasts enable students to share their knowledge and expertise with others through a creative outlet.  Podcasts tap into a mode of media input that is commonplace for digital natives.  Podcasts empower students to form relationships with the content and each other in relevant ways.

85. Why use podcasts?  Podcasting is yet another way for them [students] to be creating and contributing ideas to a larger conversation, and it’s a way of archiving that contribution for future audiences to use. –Will Richardson, Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts and Other Powerful Web Tools for Classrooms

86. How can podcasts be used?  In the classroom, educators and students can use podcasts to inform others about class news, current events, and areas of interest.  Students can use a podcast forum to persuade their peers to help others, make a difference, or try something new.  Podcasts can also be used to edutain others through creative narratives.

87. How can podcasts be used?  Podcasts engage students in thinking critically about their speaking fluency and communication skills.  The opportunity to create a podcast about what students would like to discuss and share with others is extremely motivating.

88. Ideas for Podcasts  Daily practice lessons recorded by the teacher or students  Narratives  Conversations  Oral histories  Vocabulary and/or concept practice  Oral tests

89. Ideas for Podcasts  Pod-tours  Unit or topic podcasts as overview/review of unit  Oral reports  Supplement instructional materials with existing podcasts created by others  Information for parents

90. My Class Unit Podcast Segments Political Policy Overview one governmental/political trend Vocab Vibes Explain and use two vocabulary words Innovation Station Define and explain the impact of one invention or innovation Cultural Commentary Explain the motivation for and effects of one new cultural trend Business Report Discuss the economic impacts of one event, trend, law, etc. Rewind the Mind Select one event or decision and hypothesize about what would have happened if the result had been different

91.

92. Other Enduring Benefits  Along with the use of technology there are certain responsibilities that educators and students need to follow. –Educators need to instruct students on safe and acceptable use of technology in and outside of the classroom. –Not only do students need to learn how to appropriately research, but also how to safely and properly share information online. –Podcasts allow students to learn first hand about copyright laws and fair use issues.

93. Jumping in with both feet...  Listen to a few podcasts online –iTunes > Source List > Podcasts > Education –http://www.podcastalley.com/ http://www.podcastalley.com/ –http://www.ipodder.org/ http://www.ipodder.org/ –http://epnweb.org/ http://epnweb.org/ –http://www.jakeludington.com/archives/000405.html (“Podcasting with Windows Media Player) http://www.jakeludington.com/archives/000405.html  Get a feel for the genre –Podcasts are not “polished” – production value is secondary to the content

102. Wikis How Mass Collaboration Changes Everything

103. Wikinomics  In the last few years, traditional collaboration—in a meeting room, a conference call, even a convention center—has been superceded by collaborations on an astronomical scale.  Today, encyclopedias, jetliners, operating systems, mutual funds, and many other items are being created by teams numbering in the thousands or even millions.  While some leaders fear the heaving growth of these massive online communities, Wikinomics explains how to prosper in a world where new communications technologies are democratizing the creation of value. http://www.wikinomics.com/

104. What is a Wiki?  A wiki is a type of website that allows users easily to add, remove, or otherwise edit and change most available content.

105. How is a Wiki Constructed?  A single page in a wiki is referred to as a "wiki page", while the entire body of pages, which are usually highly interconnected via hyperlinks, is "the wiki“ –in effect, a wiki is actually a very simple, easy-to- use user-maintained database for searching and creating information.

106. Are Wikis Safe?  Wikis are generally designed with the philosophy of making it easy to correct mistakes, rather than making it difficult to make them.

107. Are Wikis Safe?  Thus while wikis are very open, they provide a means to verify the validity of recent additions to the body of pages. –The most prominent, on almost every wiki, is the "Recent Changes" page—a specific list numbering recent edits, or a list of all the edits made within a given timeframe.

108. Tracking Changes

110. Using Wikis as a Source  Wikipedia is as reliable as other external sources we rely on.  Properly written articles cite the sources, and a reader should rely on the Wikipedia article as much, but no more, than the sources the article relies on.  If an article doesn't cite a source, it may or may not be reliable.  Students should never use information in a wiki until they have checked those external sources.  A More Reliable Wikipedia? –http://discoveryeducation.typepad.com/pennsylvania/2007/02/a_mor e_reliable.html http://discoveryeducation.typepad.com/pennsylvania/2007/02/a_mor e_reliable.htmlhttp://discoveryeducation.typepad.com/pennsylvania/2007/02/a_mor e_reliable.html

111. What the Experts are Saying  Wikis are helping young people develop “writing skills and social skills by learning about group consensus and compromise—all the virtues you need to be a reasonable and productive member of society.” –Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia

112. What the Experts are Saying  “The media is controlled by people who have the resources to control it,” he says. “Wikis show that all of us have an equal opportunity to contribute to knowledge.” –Andy Garvin, head of the Digital Divide Network

113. Ways to Use Wikis  Use wikis as formats for subject guides and supplemental resources.  Invite students and teachers to annotate and augment your course content on a wiki.  Make wikis meeting places for learning communities inside and outside the school.  Link librarians and teachers in your district in a collaborative enterprise.  Create interactive learning activities (WebQuests, collaborative research, etc.)
