4. But...
“And don't swallow the myth of the digital native.
Just because your teens Facebook, IM, and
Youtube, don't assume they know the rhetoric of
blogging, collective knowledge gathering
techniques of taggers and social bookmarkers,
collaborative norms of wiki work, how to tune and
feed a Twitter network, the art of multimedia
argumentation - and, by far most importantly,
online crap detection.”
Howard Rheingold
Rheingold, Howard (2009, April 10) 21st Century Literacies

5. Increasingly the digital divide is
more about those who know
how and those who don’t know
how to use technology and how
to use your mind with the
technology.

choose to engage in it. So, how do we prepare for
the next generation of students?

16. Become a Networked Teacher
Overwhelming?
Credit Alec Couros

17. Community of Practice
Share common interest
May be organized by someone like a teacher,
department head, administrator, pro-d chair, or
professional association.
Members know each other and meet face-2-
face periodically
May or may not rely on technology

18. Network of Practice
Share a common interest
Decentralized
Do it yourself
Members may not know each other or ever
meet
Rely on technology
Fun, exciting, empowering, viral, disruptive

20. Howard Rheingold calls
this “presence of those
who are absent.”

21. For me one of the greatest advantages in
networking via blogs, tweets and online social
networks has been the ease with which I am
finding that exposure to other perspectives and
ways of thinking. In an easy and fluid way this
forces me to keep a critical mind.

27. I'm no expert in Web 2.0, but via Twitter, RSS,
del.icio.us, etc., I can subscribe to the brains of
people who are. This stuff is really amazing. You
gotta try it.

28. “Knowledge becomes personalized after
conversations and interactions with others.”
“In the net-gen world, it is what I have done and
shared, not what I own that is important.”
John Seely Brown Tech It Up 2009

34. Be a Model for Your
Students
Openness

Community
administrators, teachers, students, parents, city/town

35. Be a Model for Your
Students
Network

37. You will be more engaged in your teaching if you are
learning with your students.

38. In-Service Teacher and
Grad Student Reflection
"I've realized that I need 2 think
about 21C Learning, that I have
become a roadblock, & it's an
injustice to my learners"
From Alec Couros via Twitter

39. But I Don’t Know How to
Model!
You need to:
Get involved in your Community of Practice
Participate a Network of Practice
Build your Personal Learning Environment
Use some of the tools in your teaching

44. 10 Web 2.0 Ways
Stephen Downes
1. Listen to a conference presentation - K-12
Online Conference
2. Record your own audio or video presentation
3. Do a search on a topic of interest but don’t
just use Google – use Google Blog Search,
Google News Search, Delicious, Technorati,
Slideshare, and Youtube.
4. Write a blog (or Twitter) posting about
something you have learned lately.
5. Upload a slide presentation to Slideshare or
similar site.

45. 10 Web 2.0 Ways
Stephen Downes
6. Create a slide on Zoho and incorporate an
image from Flickr that you have found that
has Creative Commons licensing.
7. Check out the blogroll (sites he/she follows)
from the site of one of your favorite bloggers.
8. Write a comment on a blog post, article, or
book written by an e-learning researcher or

Website like Digg, Mixx, Mashable, or Hotlinks
and write a blog posting about it or at least a
comment on the site.
10.Play an online game with a colleague.

46. A Few More Suggestions
Learn about tagging and how you and your
students can use tags to collaborate and
organize information.
Learn about searching in Twitter, Twitter
hashtags, and following conference
proceedings using Twitter.
Try the new “real-time” search engines such
as OneRiot and bing tweets.

47. Tools
OK Here We Go With Tools
What students really need are small, lightweight
tools to help them learn.
Andre Malan: http://andremalan.net/2009/06/personal-learning-environments/

49. and more...

50. But, Remember it’s not
about the tools, it’s about
the learning. The
technology needs to be
transparent.

51. Tools Help

55. “Each person has to ENGAGE. They have
to JOIN. They have to WRITE.”
“Now, good teachers can be coaches
and not use Web 2.0 tools, however, if
you are using Web 2.0 in the classroom
you HAVE to be a coach.”
“Web 2.0 teaching gets past the tools
(signing up and USING the tools for the
sake of the tools) and allows the tools to
mash together to create learning
experiences.”

58. So how does Web 2.0 or any
learning technology challenge
didactic teaching? The simple
answer is that when you Flickr Photo Credit jess_mcculloch
show educators any learning
technology, they are forced
to think about how they
teach.

62. What Do You Think
About This Distinction?
1. Teachers who teach curriculum want:
1. Attendance and participation monitoring
2. Quizzes and Gradebooks
3. Content management and distribution of teacher created and filtered resources
2. Teachers who teach learning want:
1. Tools for individual and collaborative construction
2. Tools for reflection, self and group assessment
3. Content management (tags, spaces, organizational views) of teacher, student created
and web resources
4. Spaces for exploration and discovery
5. Networks for developing learning skills and social skills
6. Aggregators for assessing net-wide student artifact construction
3. Teachers who want it all!

63. There is a great divide between those
who see learning as presenting
information and those who perceive
education as navigating the
information flow.

66. Take These You Tool
Skeptics!
Think about it. Are the following examples just cool uses of
technology or is there higher level learning and creative
expression going on?

web 2.0 tools in my classroom, not just a glossy review.” Jared
