WEB 2.0

Informal collaborative learning and free resources

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!

Arthur C Clarke

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
