a digital learning paradigm for the middle years | Bialik College 16.07.2010
takaways
the digital landscape & its relationship to teaching learning
digital learning: current research & pedagogy
case studies: effective digital learning [middle school]
digital life
Our values and norms in education are being challenged by a shifting landscape of media and communications.
gather, communicate, share, collaborate, play
buzzwords
Social Media
social media tools
Web 2.0

what would education look like if it resembled the culture?
What’s important: the properties and dynamics of social media – not the tools – and how to evolve with them.
social media matters in education
web as participatory platform‘us-ness’ | community | participation
current technology demands a totally different approach to instructional design and teaching methodology
it requires new skills from both teacher and student
Trying to protect students and instructional time by banning Web 2.0 or setting policies to keep it “safe.”
responding to opportunites & challenges
Preserving existing programs and practices by using technology in a way that “fits” into what is already in place.
Taking a progressive approach by allowing technology to transform the organisation rather than moving it faster and further on its existing path.

blended learning
“Blended learning is more effective than either face to face or online learning by themselves.”
“Between online and face to face instruction, online is at least as good and may even have the advantage in terms of improving student achievement and potentially expanding the amount of time (and quality time) students spend learning.”
Evaluation of Evidence-Based Practices in Online Learning [The US Department of Education 2009]
pedagogy | learning networks
Learning institutions rethinking the possibilities around what can be learnt, where learning can happen and who is involved in the learning process.
Beyond the institutionalised logic of the school towards the network logic of the learning community.
