Keeping
Us All to the Same Instant of Progress
This course is a living example of the exponential benefits
of effective peer sharing process in action. Many of the resources used in each
lesson come directly from the participants the week before, with the
Connectivism video and the following links as examples. Please keep the
contributions coming!
There are obvious issues regarding best practices, and our
individual differences as to how many tools we are willing to embrace and use
regularly. Emerging, is the need to quantify our own info-diet inputs and outputs
regarding ideal quality, efficiency, volume, and value. What we model and
advise for our students with new tools evolving almost daily will likely be
more an ongoing process of adapting and evaluation than advice on any
established “best practice.”

Pop Quiz: Do you know you can find a dozen such organizations online,
each competing to outdo the others with better resources? You should know you
can create a listing of most of these within 15 minutes by using multi-word
search phrases. Try: professional
elearning guides resources directories, online educator guides, online teacher
resources, experiment.
Professional Info-Brokers Hot Tip:
One
serious tip is each site’s “Other resources” are likely to be a hotlist of
similar sites. If the list is current and robust, then likely paid staff keep
it updated and the host site is a keeper. If you find few other resources, and
outdated links, then delete the link; you can do better. Info-brokering is
amazingly easy if you know lots of others with more time and money than you
have already been collecting and posting the best links for years, before you.
Your challenge is to gather from these sites, your own best-of-the-best links.
The better blogs will post the newest best links by topic, as their means of
proving their value competitively.
If
you intentionally limit yourself to the time spent, and do not allow yourself to
get sidetracked digging too deep and losing all sense of time, and make a habit
of quickly cutnpasting the links without over thinking it, you will find your
lists grow faster with practice, and you will also find unexpected discoveries,
that make it fun, like the two links below I found while testing my search
phrases above.

Immaculate
Integration
Teaching the “Love of Learning” to be sustained lifelong by
our students has been a challenge in the past. Today, smart use of mobile
learning will reap rewards as personal mobile devices are becoming more
interconnected, more powerful and central to the daily lives of us all. “The
New Normal” is learning to do more with less, and out of necessity the economic
scalability of mobile learning and smarter collaboration will produce
“solutions of necessity.” A constructivist approach, where students build their
own knowledge while developing multimedia skills, is likely to be more
motivating than sitting in a traditional classroom. This is true for educators,
too.

(10 minutes)
Now that we have established everyone and everything is
becoming increasingly interconnected and integrated, and that everyone must
somehow adopt the “love of learning” as a lifestyle choice, let’s review our
opportunities for innovation.
1. Integrated
units allow us to “do more with less” while meeting required standards, and the
more standards we can address
in a single unit, the better.
2. Motivation comes from what we can learn
to do, not from what others do for us, or “tell us to do.”
Bill Gates wrote in his book “The Road Ahead” ten years ago
that there were three big emerging industries; entertainment, social services,
and education. If we integrate these three big money-makers we get “Fun,
Social, Learning.”

CoSN’s
observations speak volumes about the current state of US public schools. In
Scandinavian schools, students begin formal education at 7 years, having spent
the previous several years in preschool programs aimed at personal
responsibility and social development rather than on academics. By the time
they get to formal schooling, the situation looks like this:
[CoSN]
found that educators in Finland, Sweden, and Denmark all cited autonomy,
project-based learning, and nationwide broadband internet access as keys to
their success… Grading doesn’t happen until the high-school level, because they
believe grading takes the fun out of learning. They want to inspire continuous
learning.
What
the CoSN delegation didn’t find in those nations were competitive grading,
standardized testing, and top-down accountability—all staples of the American
education system.

to a Civic Enterprises report. John Bridgeland, the nonprofit's president and

Redefining Digital Literacy and Integrating
the other 21st Century Literacies
Digital
literacy is not a matter of large corporations putting more training online in
a patronizing top down manner. Digital literacy is about people learning from
each other what they can do for themselves creating effective collaborations
for ongoing sharing of best practices that produce practical benefits.
As an educator consider
integrating the following:
21st Century literacies; info-literacy, media literacy, digital
literacy, financial literacy, entrepreneurial literacy, and integrating the
seven intelligences, and preferred learning styles, while considering learner
trends toward shorter attention spans and multitasking. (Optional: at
google.com select Images and search “seven intelligences” and or “21st
Century Literacies”) In the resources section below you will find a
fascinating list of Howard Rheingold’s extensive work on 21st
Century Literacies.
Pop Quiz: Can you name the 7 intelligences? Did you happen to notice
many of the graphics in the search results suggested above have DIFFERENT sets
of 7 intelligences?
Review: Seven intelligences of accelerated learning
http://blog.iqmatrix.com/mind-map/7-intelligences-accelerated-learning-mind-map Free Ebook, printable posters, lots of
interesting resources. (10
minutes)
Eventually, your ability to collaborate online
professionally, and to routinely assimilate vast quantities of information,
will become as obvious as your ability to present yourself professionally in
person.
What
IF your teaching position depended on a daily global competition with thousands
of peers for how many integrated topics, matched to required standards, you can
put into your original rich media “accelerated learning curriculums;” to
include 21st Century literacies, 7+ intelligences, and customized to
match diverse learning styles?
What
if, in the face of budget cutbacks your job was at risk, but Elearning
corporations came calling, offering you more money, the option to work from
home, and other lifestyle benefits? This is a very real trend, school districts
are finding their best tech teachers are disappearing to the private sector.
School
and Community Synergies “Pilot Projects” are proposed for showcasing what
communities can “Do for themselves, together” both as individual communities in
the short term, and as functional coordinated “communities of communities”
sharing innovations, mentors, and mutual opportunities on an ongoing basis.
What Alaskan specific campaign messages
would you recommend to the Ad Council for their 3 year, $90 million dollar
broadband campaign messaging?
What
made, or still makes, America great? Isn’t it that we can all come together to
do what needs to be done?
Do
we need to restate the real problem, followed by a call to action for all Americans, to actually up and do something?!
What could everyone possibly do to see their tangible contributions toward
meaningful progress, in concert with the actions of many others?
(Hint: Local wikis, jings, nings,
udemy.com, p2pu.org, etc.)
A Campaign for What
Exactly?
What
problem are we trying to solve with broadband? What do we really need or want a
campaign for? Is what matters most - a campaign for broadband and digital
literacy? Or do we need a campaign for supporting our educators, funding for
schools, or for educational reform, or a campaign of caring, or for civic
responsibility, or collaborative engagement for public problem solving at all
levels?? A campaign for more STEM graduates? For more adults involved in
getting college degrees? For more creativity and innovation? What would
be at the top of your list!?
With
the New Normal; everything hangs on local engagement, new metrics, and sharing
innovations as they emerge – acknowledging the boom in bottom up innovations. A
challenge competition for effective online peer mentoring and Train-The-Trainer
programs based on authentic measurable skills transfer outcomes would quickly
produce a great deal of innovation and invaluable online instructional content.
There
needs to be something Americans can do together to validate we're still the
best society in the world.
Even more exciting would be to create a genuine global showcase of
Alaskan innovations on what exactly Alaskans have innovatively used broadband
for to demonstrate benefits for sustainable families, communities and cultures.
Identifying
How Best to Teach Innovation, Imagination, and Expansive Thinking
We are all challenged with learning to think globally, and
as educators committed to sticking to required standards, we might consider how
best to teach the innovation and imagination process. Teaching literally
the process of expansive thinking, which some call right brain, spatial, or
global thinking, as compared to left brain, linear thinking, is a topic Dan
Pink writes and speaks about as essential for success in the 21st
Century.

Facebook
as International Platform for Innovation
Facebook, a curiosity in 2006, is now the largest (yet)
online phenomenon valued at $100 billion. Like it or not, Facebook is the
leading global platform for social marketing with hopes to become the leading
platform for meaningful collaborative activities of all types. Their strategy
is to move fast, and innovate aggressively, in direct competition with the
other tech giants.
Like it or not, already most businesses and government
agencies invite you to follow them on Twitter and Facebook, if not an
additional listing of similar social media feeds.
