Doing More with Less
http://www.rawsthorne.org
Workshop Objectives
Upon completion of this workshop the participants will ….• be able to identify three learning theories applied to
Web 2.0.• be able to describe the technologies required for entry
into social media.• be able to discuss how communities of practice map
well to networked learning.• be able to identify additional technologies which facilitate
online learning.• be able to describe the elements of a personal learning
environment.
It’s about the Pedagogy
Constructivism: The basic premise is that an individual learner must actively "build" knowledge and skills and that information exists within these built constructs rather than in the external environment.
Social Constructivism: Social constructivism is a variety of cognitive constructivism that emphasizes the collaborative nature of much learning.
Connectivism: The pipe is more important than the content within the pipe. Our ability to learn what we need for tomorrow is more important than what we know today.
Progressive Inquiry: is designed to facilitate engagement in an in-depth process of inquiry and expert-like working with knowledge that are essential for productive participation in knowledge society.
Connectivism• Learning and knowledge rests in
diversity of opinions.
• Learning is a process of connecting specialized nodes or information sources.
• Learning may reside in non-human appliances.
• Nurturing and maintaining connections is needed to facilitate continual learning.
• Ability to see connections between fields, ideas, and concepts is a core skill.
• Currency (accurate, up-to-date knowledge) is the intent of all connectivist learning activities.
Social Constructivism • Reality: Social constructivists believe that reality is constructed through human activity. Members of a society together invent the properties of the world.
• Knowledge: To social constructivists, knowledge is also a human product, and is socially and culturally constructed.
• Learning: Social constructivists view learning as a social process.
Progressive InquiryCollaborative activities, social interaction, participation in social communities and appropriation of socio-culturally developed conceptual tools have a fundamental role in shaping and constituting the development of individual cognition.
Formative Activity
?Think Pair ShareFrom what you have learned so far;
Think about your experiences with learningPair up with someone next to youShare your thoughts on one of these three activities
1.How you are connected to other learners2.When you have learned in a group3.How your learning has been iterative
You have 5 minutes to complete this activity
It’s about the Community• According to Wenger (1990), a community of
practice is characterized by "a shared domain of interest" where "members interact and learn together" and "develop a shared repertoire of resources.“
• a network of interactions forms-much like a social network, and much like Wenger's community of practice.
• Self-organizing social network
Hitting the ground running
• Where do you start and why?– Rss & Readers: because
you need to start listening
– Blogging: because you need to start engaging / contributing
– Tagging: because you need to start inventorying what you are finding
– Micro-blogging: because you need see it as fun and to find new resources
RSS and Readers
• It starts with listening (reading and watching)
• Really Simple Syndication (RSS)
• Readers provide the ability to subscribe
Blogging
• Web 2.0 is known as the read – write web for a reason
• Blogger
• Wordpress
Tagging • Marking the important places you visit creates a personal index to the internet.
• Delicious
• Technocrati
• stumbleupon
Micro-blogging
• 140 characters
• Idle chatter with frequent lessons or references
• yammer
Wikis and Collaborative publishing
• MediaWiki– Wikipedia & WikiEducator
• WPMu– WordPress Multi-user
• Socialtext
• Historyflow: Collaboration builds quality
Formative Activity
?ReflectThink about the previous five technologies of; RSS
and Readers, Blogging, Tagging, Twitter and the Wiki.
Have you gained professional knowledge from using any of these technologies?
Be prepared to share it with the group.
You have 2 minutes to complete this activity
We all live in communities
With so many technologies within the realm of Web 2.0 how do I engage for the long term?
• Listen through RSS and readers• Engage in the conversation through blogging• Start to create your own folksonomy of knowledge and
explore others• Participate in wikis: because contributing to the
knowledge base is a social activity and through time they become self organizing
• Join in to the chatter and promote your ideas through twitter
Group discussion tools
• Asynchronous discussion
• bbPress
• Google groups
• List serves
• Chat
Podcasts & Vodcasts • Allows you to take it with you.
