Digital Natives & Digital Immigrants: February 2007

http://digitalnativesct.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html

Digital Natives and Digital Immigrants. Tuesday, February 13, 2007. Daniel Hand High School's Chinese Culture Day. Imagine taking a train from New Haven to Stonington, and having to change wheels at each town border because there's a different track guage imposed as a "local standard." That's what being a traveling presenter is like in the world of education. To laugh is to risk appearing the fool. To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. To reach for another is to risk involvement. To expose your ideas...

Digital Natives & Digital Immigrants: December 2006

http://digitalnativesct.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html

Digital Natives and Digital Immigrants. Wednesday, December 06, 2006. Professor Julie Dobrow's "Media Literacy and Social Change" class at Tuft's University - Part II. To start at the beginning, link to Part I here. The audio file is located at the bottom of the Part I post. There's a way of expressing what new media formats do to the learning paradigm. It goes like this:. I hear; and I forget. I see; and I may remember. I do; and I understand. 21st century learners can "do" in ways no previous generatio...

Digital Natives & Digital Immigrants: November 2006

http://digitalnativesct.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html

Digital Natives and Digital Immigrants. Monday, November 27, 2006. Professor Julie Dobrow's "Media Literacy and Social Change" class at Tuft's University - Part I. On November 27th, I had an opportunity to go into the Tufts classroom of Professor Julie Dobrow's course on "Media Literacy and Social Change," and engage her students on the syllabus topic: Youth media, media literacy and media training. At the bottom of this post is an audiocast of my talk. How do we change the "trajectory" of the debate abo...

Digital Natives & Digital Immigrants: Content vs. creativity as the goal of education...

http://digitalnativesct.blogspot.com/2007/06/content-vs-creativity-as-goal-of.html

Digital Natives and Digital Immigrants. Saturday, June 23, 2007. Content vs. creativity as the goal of education. Forecasting the world in which our children will be working and living long after we are gone is an impossible task. We can not, with certainty and absolute confidence, even forecast what the world will look like in the next 10 years. The question that remains for me is whether education can evolve on it's own.or whether it will be transformed and revolutionized by outside forces. Links to Th...

Digital Natives & Digital Immigrants: January 2007

http://digitalnativesct.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html

Digital Natives and Digital Immigrants. Thursday, January 25, 2007. David Brin's vision for 3rd millenium problem solving. David Brin frequently uses the medium of science fiction to describe the future. His webcast at Google. The result of engaging the professional protective cast, in this case the Department of Homeland Security, FEMA, and a myriad of conflicting Federal and state bureaucracies? Turning to and away from others,. Favoring what's interesting,. Remembering what's important,. But, again, y...

http://digitalnativesct.blogspot.com/2007/06/access-to-all-worlds-knowledge-is-human.html

Digital Natives and Digital Immigrants. Saturday, June 09, 2007. Access to all the world's knowledge is a human right. Here's a point of view I hold: Strictly in the context of the Internet age (and the promise of 21st century participatory cultures), our educational system is fatally flawed. (I'm really talking about the system that is in place from roughly the 4th grade through 12th grade.) Question: Can the "system" be fixed or is it doomed? Posted by Steve Wilmarth.

Digital Natives & Digital Immigrants: A tough week...

http://digitalnativesct.blogspot.com/2007/07/tough-week.html

Digital Natives and Digital Immigrants. Sunday, July 29, 2007. This has been a tough week. Between the years 2001 and 2004, I taught psychology, economics, and history at Cheshire Academy. Those days now seem far away right given all the work and progress I've experienced at the Center for 21st Century Skills. The news on Monday morning of this week was surreal. A gruesome triple homicide in the town of Cheshire. what was the family name? Oh my dear God! It can't be. Jenn Petit? How could this be? And so...
