27. so plugged in,
yet so disconnected
“We [need to] use social media in the classroom not
because our students use it, but because we are afraid that
social media might be using them – that they are using
social media blindly, without recognition of the new
challenges and opportunities they might create.”
M. Wesch
30. current technology demands a totally different approach to
instructional design and teaching methodology
it requires new skills from both teacher and student
31. social media matters in education
What’s important: the properties and dynamics of social
media – not the tools – and how to evolve with them.
32. ‘traditional’ literacy
“.... being able to read and write in the
shared language of a culture.”
Futurelab: Digital participation, digital literacy and school subjects 2009
33. digital literacy
Being able to access the internet; find,
manage and edit digital information; join in
communications; and engage with an
online information and communications
network impact on a person’s potential to
communicate and learn.

55. responding to opportunities & challenges
Trying to protect students and instructional time by
banning Web 2.0 or setting policies to keep it “safe.”
57. responding to opportunities & challenges
Preserving existing programs and practices by using
technology in a way that “fits” into what is already in
place.
59. responding to opportunities & challenges
Taking a progressive approach by allowing technology to
transform the organisation rather than moving it faster
and further on its existing path.
61. Teachers are the learning professionals and catalysts.
When you put them in the mix with new technology,
you get powerful outcomes.
Notes de l'éditeur
The new world we live in - things we thought were stable and safe are rather less. What does all this mean for learning? We are entering a new age of learning.
Web 2.0 refers to second generation Internet-based services that emphasise online collaboration and sharing among users. Participation is a key feature of Web 2.0. The strengthening role of the user in digital media offers possibilities that are changing not only the Internet, but our society.

What's important here, is that Web 2.0 transforms the us from users who used to just be a part of “the audience” who watched those conversations taking place between trusted authorities or authors before in a world of broadcast media, where we are often now immersed in them ourselves. We are able to participate in them - and this is slightly different to interacting or collaborating with them - it's an important distinction.

Students need the help of teachers who understand all of this on some personal and practical level.
They need teachers who can help them navigate these complex spaces and relationships online that require, at the very least, a different application of traditional skills and literacies.
The world is awash with ‘stuff’ and your ability to critique it, make judgements about it, depends on your ability to construct some of that stuff. If you can construct, you can move towards deconstructing and critiquing it. If you don’t you can’t and yet many teachers will deconstruct tech apps without having constructed it. Content is no longer King - mutuality and exchange matters now, not the ownership of knowledge - that sense of us and others is turning out to be very important as is sharing and participating - no surprises really, it’s something humans have been doing for eons...but now it’s happening online.
The big change in the ‘real’ world: cultural, not technological What would education look like if it resembled the culture in which young people live outside the 8.30-3.30 routine of schooling? There is not one education leader who would deny the impact of the Internet, social networking, gaming on the lives of the young people in their charge,yet one is hard pushed to find systemic changes where "their culture" is actively incorporated into "our schools".
We need to rethink the delivery and distribution of learning, and do more than use technology to do what we currently do in a different way. Moreover, new technologies are changing how people process information and what they expect to be able to do with that information. Instructional content and supporting information must now be seen as "connective" rather than prescriptive, with students getting info from various sources, places and creating more content and connecting with their peers more in the learning process. For many teachers, this seems "diminishing" or less rigorous, however, the reality is that it can promote a real sense of inquiry in students. The use of wikis, blogs and social networking in young learners leisure time is described as ‘prolific’ but their use in the classroom is still limited. We need to help learners develop more sophisticated uses of Web 2.0 tech and to give them the skills to navigate this space.
Dynamics that have been reconfigured as a result of social media. 1. Invisible Audiences. There are lurkers who are present but whom we cannot see, visitors who access our content at a later date or in a different environment than where we first produced them. Not fully understanding the potential or actual audience. 2. Collapsed Contexts. Some behaviors are appropriate in one context but not another, in front of one audience but not others. Social media brings all of these contexts crashing into one. 3. Blurring of Public and Private. Focus on the properties and dynamics of social media – not the tools. Specific genres of social media may come and go, but these underlying properties are here to stay. Technology will continue to leverage social networks as we go forward. One of the key challenges is learning how to adapt to an environment in which these properties and dynamics play a key role. We are all implicated in it. Social media is here to stay. Now we just have to evolve with it.
While discussions around ICT in learning are often reduced to focusing on tools, we tend to miss more critical aspects of 21st century technologies and Web 2.0 applications in relation to learning – and in particular, their relationship to literacy.

Social media and participatory culture are an integral part of life today and can enrich learning. The majority of young people report using Web 2.0 to communicate about education-related topics. What’s standing in the way of more widespread implementation? Despite the case that can be made for the use of Web 2.0 in education at a philosophical level, the issue of if and how Web 2.0 should actually be deployed in schools is problematic. The way in which schools respond to the opportunities and challenges of implementing Web 2.0 in classrooms falls into three categories. The challenge is no longer what we can make the technology do. But what do we want - and this is very different to what we wanted last century in factory schools and economies of scale and wisdom being delivered and a curriculum being received.
