*All materials gathered at the Forum are available and can be had/viewed in Mercy Online offices.
Karen M. White, Assistant Dean, Mercy Online, in attendance reported that: “The irony of this forum was that all industry products were geared towards the opposite of what Mr. November’s motivational speech endeavored to promote—which is all the more reason to think more conscientiously about his message.”
Key Note Speaker:
Alan November “Cultivating a World Class Work Ethic” (Alan’s next conference: Building Learning Communities 2008: Boston, July 16-18—go to
http://www.novemberlearning.com/blc for more information.
International leader in education technology, Alan believes that not only do we have excessive technology and too little vision, but that pedagogy trumps technology. Referring to K-12, he stated that we block in schools the five things kids do @home:
- Blog
- I-pod
- youtube
- video games
- myspace
- aim
—which are nothing but empty containers that educators should allow and fill with sound and relevant educational experiences. Alan also firmly believes that all kids should be asked to evaluate, as group experiences, no less than 10 websites per grade to increase information literacy and critical thinking skills.
Speaker Panel:
Linda Brandon, Dir. of Instruction Technology/Lakeland Central School District, NY
- Subscribers of technology indicate the direction of best practices
- Old technology could be archived, new is not and should be a considering factor in education at all levels
Jeffrey Branzburg, Educational Technology Consultant/Branzburg Associates, NY
- Existential Pain...Second Life is not safe unless fully monitored in classrooms
- Proponent of “Beyond” the Podium
- Endorsed Chat Casting/Twitter Mediated Presentations (S5), Stream Casting (U-Stream), Video/Google/Skype, Anytime/Anywhere-WizIQ
Ryan Bretag , Coord., of Instructional Technology, Glenbrook North HS, Northbrook, IL
- “Just Do It” = “Modeling” which is the most powerful change agent
- All Colleges should have their own Community Blog for Faculty and each Dept. with each College should have their own divisional blogs for faculty.
Round Table Discussion:
Distance Learning
Sue Sullivan, Dept. of Education, NJ
Sue highly endorsed VHS ( Virtual High School out of Maynard, MA) and FVS ( Florida Virtual School) as best online proponents of high school completion via the internet.
Mini-Workshop
Learning with Wiki’s:
Jon Orech
Abstract (taken from: http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1149466)
In this paper we (A. Lunde & O. Smordal) ask to what extent collective cognition can be supported and sustained in classroom practices. One major challenge for learning in technology-rich, collaborative environments is to develop design principles that balance learner exploration with a more goal directed effort. We argue that teachers play a key role in such efforts and that educational wiki designs need to allow such a role in order to support group knowing. First, from an activity theoretical perspective we discuss teaching in knowledge collectives as new type of educational activity. Next, we analyze functions and meta level affordances found in the MediaWiki application. This is followed by a presentation of an intervention study in which the MediaWiki was used by a class of Upper Secondary School learners in Norway. Findings are used to discuss design principles for wikis that support collective cognition and where there is a place for the teacher.
