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outdated links, then delete the link; you can do better.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.

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.”

more to explore, in addition to his many youtube videos.
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.

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

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
