education 2.0
The issues and possibilities being created by 2.0 technologies
Compel us to RETHINK (see Wesch!) many ideas... education, copyright, knowledge, access, ...
In the HOPE changes be produced... everywhere.
Effects of technology & the Web
Technology enables modalities such as constructivism, etc. (Norman & Spohrer 1996)
+ Significant
transformation of the teaching-learning process (Hannafin 2003)
Slowness to adopt…
Their little vocation at innovation made universities delay 30 years the adoption of the printing press.
-Alejandro Piscitelli
however...
However...
The Web is not being used at the
max of its innovation capability;
It’s used to “reformulate what is already familiar” (Alan Kay)
Houston, we have a problem…
Does education need to change?
What should education try to do?
Humans Will Not Survive the Century
-Robert Caillau (CERN), 2006
...change is about to come
Real education ...is about learning to live and learning to make a living (John Adams), an idea
that got lost between the late 1700s and today. High schools and universities have simply
failed to teach what needs to be taught. This will change in 2009.
—Roger Schank
e-Learn
The Web: Fundamental pedagogic environment (Suter 2005), not just a tool…
Convergence“...we must assume the technology of online
learning will produce learning systems of a blended nature that are far better than the prior 'gold standard' of the face-to-face class.
As a beneficial side effect, distinctions will blur between traditional learning and distance learning.” (Hiltz & Turoff 2005).
A new territory

Competencies 2.0
The student 2.0 must change role: from
information consumer to prosumer - producer & consumer at once...
Critical Analisys / new media interpretation
Change from information overload to
knowledge production
empowerment 2.0
At last a simple, accessible, freeing technology. WE ALL may:
Edit a video, compose & play music, edit encyclopedias...
Install programs & experiment w/ them...
Ideas flow freely. A Renaissance 2.0?
Revolution

Issues
I> Delivery
Education is delivered
Model: transmission of knowledge
To Teach <-- to Show
II> PlaceIf knowledge is delivered, then…
… learning happens in a place and is delivered by an agent
THUS…
Learning happens within the classroom
III> The agent
… an expert transmits knowledge (two fallacies in one sentence!)
What of the scientific method?
Does it get used to teach science?
IV> Identity
Methods and architectures from elementary education are applied at all levels
V> Mediation of technology
Always been there!
VI> Content
Problem of content
200% courses in LMS’s work as content holders
… Edu Tech is just the funnel
VII> Slow Learning
Learning doesn’t happen in a flash. It is a difficult (social) process.
Reflection, work, Slow Food
SlownessFind ways that “encourage slowness and
wholeness within the practice of everyday schooling”
Move education “away from cultures of materialization and fast knowledge”.
-Geetha Narayanan (2006)

Open Learning 2009
As free and open learning becomes the norm for millions of learners around the globe, high schools, universities, and corporate training centers will need to adjust their policies, procedures, and philosophies related to teaching and learning.
If not, it may be time to say goodbye to many of them in 2009.
