36. A Digital Native: Jake‟s Story
• “Jake told the executive that he
never goes directly to a brand
like this man‟s newspaper or even
to blogs he likes. ... he reads a lot
of news – far more than I did at
his age. But he goes to that news
only via the links from Digg,
friends‟ blogs, and Twitter. He
travels all around the internet that
is edited by his peers because he
trusts them and knows they
share his interests. The web of
trust is built at eye-level, peer-to-
peer.” (Jarvis, p.86, my emphasis)

37. Student Expectations?
• Global (Used creating their own YouTube
videos, and expecting a quick response – from
anywhere in the world!)
• Responsive (Used to rapid response/feedback,
3 week guarantee “too long”)
• Flexible (Used to having more than one starting
point)
• Interactive (Looking for a relationship of trust,
staff/student partnership: The teacher has a role
of leader, but needs „distributed leadership‟)
• Often facile or trivial

38. Nancy Willard, 2012 (p30)
• “The width of the chasm is
directly controlled by the
degree of perceived risk
associated with the use of
digital technologies. Given that
pragmatists seek to manage the
risks, the misperception that
these risks are significant
contributes to greater
reluctance to change.”

39. Bad things can
happen
anywhere

40. @6% 360/6636
• Persistence
• Perpetual Beta
• Scalability
• Searchability

41. Is education going this way?
• More part-time/mature students – requiring
more “flexible learning” options?
• More vocational courses, in partnership with
industry?
• More ‘pick-and-mix’ degrees: credits from
different universities, globally, around work?
• More “demanding” with fees, etc?
• More need to help with “deep research”?

42. Discuss (10 min discussion)
• Similarities • Differences

43. Poll…
A: Students essentially haven’t
changed.
B: Students have changed
completely.
C: Students continually change
D: Students are too diverse to label

• “Based on their studies of practice-based
communities, Lave and Wenger (1991) observed how
novices in the community may start at the periphery of
a community, by watching and observing others, a
process they term „legitimate peripheral participation‟.
Over time, they learn and develop expertise and
become more central to the community and its
activities. For Wenger (1998) being a member of a
community of practice not only develops a
participant’s expertise in the practice on which the
community is focused; learners’ identities are also
shaped by their engagement and relationship with
the community.”

45. Conclusions, The Parent App
• …the media contribute to ongoing trends; they
mediate; and because they have certain
affordances, they help to reinforce some
practices and make others less attractive… Rather
than asking how the Internet is or is not making
us more narcissistic or isolated, we might ask
instead why society is accepting a move toward
greater self-focus and less compassion on the
part of the upper-middle-class, and why we are
allowing those who are already marginalized to
become more so. (68%)
