Becta, 2008
The basic [idea] of the Web is that [of] an information space through which people can communicate, but communicate in a special way: communicate by sharing their knowledge in a pool.The idea was not just that it should be a bigbrowsing medium. The idea was that everybodywould be putting their ideas in, as well as takingthem out.—Tim Berners-Lee

A teacher who could be replaced by a machine should be!

What are teachers for in the Information Society?
Cognitive
Affective
Learning
Social
But ought we to give up outmoded practices?
Technology does not change practice. Teachers change practice as their knowledge, understanding, skills, beliefs and goals change.
Digital Literacy?
Digital literacy is the ability to locate, organize, understand, evaluate, and create information using digital technology.
Becoming digitally literate requires that the learner: knows how to use digital tools is critical of how and when to use them
is aware of the risks of working online
Is prepared to share ideas.
Old pedagogy New pedagogy
Know as much as there is in the book and as much as the teacher says
Decide on what to know and what to store
Teacher passes on knowledge to the student
Teacher helps students access, select, evaluate, organise and store information
Students write on paper for the teacher to read
Students write to disk or publish on the web
Neat handwritten reports Professional looking printed documents
Texts are set Texts are editable
Students have limited choice of sources Students’ personal choices are expected
Students hide papers from each other and only allow teacher to read the paper
Students exchange tips about editing and revising their work
