This document discusses the implications of Web 2.0 technologies for education. It notes that with Web 2.0, users can upload and edit content, leading to a social construction of knowledge. Blogs, RSS feeds, tagging, and other tools are changing how information is organized and shared. However, education has been slow to adopt these technologies and risks falling behind if it does not rethink many of its fundamental principles in light of new possibilities enabled by the social web.

Among the most important educational technologies: horizon
report 2008 (nmc)
42. Predictions 2009
Real education ...is about learning to live and
learning to make a living (John Adams), an idea
got lost
that between the late 1700s and
today. High schools and universities have simply
failed to teach what needs to be taught. This
will change in 2009.
—Roger Schank
43. Predictions 2009, 2
As free and open learning becomes the
norm for millions of learners around the globe, high
schools, universities, and corporate training centers
will need to adjust their policies, procedures,
and philosophies related to teaching and learning.
If not, it may be time to say goodbye to many of
them in 2009.
—Curt Bonk
44. Educational Technology
Jean Paul Lyotard (1979): miniaturization and
commercialization of machines would
change “learning
the way
was acquired, classified, made
available and exploited”.
46. Effects of technology & the Web
Technology enables modalities such as
constructivism, etc. (Norman & Spohrer
1996)
+ Significant
transformation of the
teaching-learning process (Hannafin 2003)
47. Convergence
“...we must assume the technology of online
learning will produce learning systems of
a blended nature that are far
better than the prior 'gold standard' of
the face-to-face class.
As a beneficial side effect, distinctions
will blur between traditional
learning and distance learning.” (Hiltz &
Turoff 2005).
48. However…
The Web is not being used at the
max of its innovation capability;
It’s used to “reformulate what is
already familiar” (Alan Kay)
49. A new territory
The limits of my
language are the
limits of my world
-L. Wittgenstein
50. The education we want
Una educación desde la cuna hasta la tumba,
inconforme y reflexiva, que nos inspire un nuevo
modo de pensar y nos incite a descubrir quienes somos
en una sociedad que se quiera más a sí misma, que
aproveche al máximo nuestra creatividad
inagotable y conciba una ética-y tal vez una estética-
para nuestro afán desaforado y legítimo de
superación personal.”
- Gabriel García Márquez
51. The education we want, 2
Papert, Minsky & Kay (2005):
The key educational task is to make
•
connections between
powerful ideas and passionate interests.
Teach to think deeply
•
Teach to think rigorously
•
55. Competencies 2.0
The student 2.0 must change role: from
information consumer to prosumer -
producer & consumer at once...

56. education 2.0
The issues and possibilities being created
by 2.0 technologies
Compel us to RETHINK (see

In the HOPE changes be produced...
everywhere.
57. empowerment 2.0
At last a simple, accessible, freeing
technology. WE ALL may:
Edit a video, compose & play music, edit
encyclopedias...
Install programs & experiment w/ them...
Ideas flow freely. A Renaissance 2.0?

84. Info overload
Leon Botstein: “It overwhelms you with too
much information, much of which is
hopelessly unreliable or beside the
point.”
It is a very sad thing that
nowadays there is so little
useless information.
-Oscar Wilde

Awaken
•
Foster Critical Thinking

etc…
•
123. II> The agent
… an expert transmits
knowledge (two fallacies in one
sentence!)
What of the scientific method?
Does it get used to teach science?
127. Content
Problem of content
200% courses in LMS’s
work as content holders
… Edu Tech is just the
funnel

ecología de los medios: están
todas implicadas entre sí.”
-A. Piscitelli
133. research
Role of computer/nets/social software
quot;Computers won't begin to have a real
impact on education until they are seen as
the message rather than the
medium. Computers ought not be a
new means of producing a slide show.”
-R. Schank
134. Slowness
slowness and
Find ways that “encourage
wholeness within the practice of everyday
schooling”
“away
Move education from cultures of
