1. Digital Media
Using, Sharing, Producing
“Does technology improve anyones learning?”
...no, and we should be asking
“Does technology support the practices that improve learning?”
Why? What? When?
Why should we use Digital Media in eduction?

Digital Media - Using, Sharing, Producing
3. Digital Media - using, sharing, producing
Why and how to use Digital Media?
Why and how to share things?
Why and what to produce?
Why and how to collaborate?
What are the reasons, materials, methods
and practicalities for all of this
and collaboration?
?1. This is the research Question in our collaborative Inquiry workshop.
2. Objective is to outline and build our eTwinning initiative / project.
3. Select a model, define structure and identify initial learning goals.
4. Make the learning process visible for using, sharing, collaborating.
4. The focus is on the
Learners Learning Process!
The Cognitive
Structure
of learning...
“To teach is to model and demonstrate, to learn
is to practice and reflect.” (Stephen Downes)
MODEL - DEMONSTRATE - PRACTICE - REFLECT
QUESTION - PROBLEM - GATHERING - EXPERIMENTING- SHARING - ANALYSING - CONCLUSIONS
COLLABORATE - COLLECT - ANALYZE - PRESENT

5. More about Inquiry based learning
o Learning is social and connected
o Learning is personal and self-directed
o Learning is shared and transparent
o Learning is rich in content and
diversity

7. Our goal is to start building a model for
our eTwinning initiative / project.

COLLABORATE - COLLECT - ANALYZE - PRESENT
- learning process perspective (you, colleagues, school, partners)
- with identified learning stages, situations and goals
- structure according to selected pedagogical model
- multiple solutions to operationalize each step or stage
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
- Each stage in the process can be a set of operations.
- Each stage can include a multiple approaches
- Place your learning process so that co-learners have access, different stages
and steps can be easily incorporated or linked.
- One step or stage can include all the stages of inquiry process
8. My eTwinning learning process

9. What could be your personal learning goal
in eTwinning collaboration?
Cooperative learning
Learners are encouraget to
• think
• discuss
• wonder
• discover

" The power of ten working interactively will almost invariably
outstrip the power of one looking to beat out the other nine".
(10 Principles of the Future Education,July 5th, 2009 by Jason Flom)
10. To further deepen our understanding, we
need to look closer into the context of
Education and learning - where are we
heading...
11. Why we need to use/learn technology?
We need to engage learners with these
tools! If we dont, they will do so on their
own.
-- critical analyzation of information
-- experimenting needs to be safe
We need the tools to make this happen!
...and we have done this mistake once
already with media (medialiteracy)!

Learning has
changed.
Are we
ready
for this?
Are we doing this in
school?
13. ...and the World Changes fast
Shift is Happening
(5:51) By Karl Fisch
We are currently prepairing students
for jobs that don't yet even exist.
Using technologies that haven't been
invented. In order to solve problems we
don't even know are problems yet.

14. 3 Steps for 21st Century Learning
• Transform your classroom into a
Creative Learning Space
> talk, build, create, collaborate
• Teach students the skills of
competition (with them selves),
cooperation and
collaboration
• Introduce your students to their
global peers and provide the
opportunity for them to
collaborate.
(Jackie Halaw )

15. How are these effecting?
" If you keep doing what you are
doing, you keep getting what you are
getting:"
" Need for a new
pedagogical dna
for schooling in
todays world in
order to break
from the past."

22. Keeping Kids FirstApril 19, 2009 by Kelly Hines (Edurati Review at http://www.eduratireview.com/)
Learning and Teaching are not the same thing.
How many times have we heard a colleague say, “I don’t know why these kids don’t get it. I’ve taught it a
hundred times.” I equate teaching and learning to a basic physics principle. If an object does not
move, no matter how much force has been applied, no work has been done. Therefore, if a student
has not learned, not matter how much effort has been exerted, no teaching has been done. Teaching
in the 21st century is going to be about working smarter and not harder. It is not about adding to our
proverbial plates. We must look at learning as the product of a successful day. Learning will not look the
same to all students or all teachers, but it must be the goal.
Technology is useless without good teaching.
We have countless technological tools at our disposable today. When we put innovative tools in the hands
of innovative teachers, amazing things can happen. If you put these tools in the hands of teachers who are
not willing to innovate, money has been wasted. There are arguments against spending the money on
interactive whiteboards for classrooms. At approximately 2000€ each, you would think these boards would
facilitate better teaching. It is not about the board. It is about proper training and mindset of a teacher who
is already willing and eager to do amazing things. The lack of comprehensive and curriculum-related
professional development for teachers is why schools have thousands of computers that are being used as
game systems and word processors.
23. Jorgie's formula for teaching
T = (L + R + C)Ch
Teaching (T) equals Learning(L) plus Retention (R) plus
connections(C) multiplied by change (Ch). If what I do doesn't
cause people to change the way they behave I haven't really
taught them anything. It doesn't have to have a life altering
effect on them, but maybe a slight course correction that sends
them into a new direction. Everything valuable I have every
learned has caused me to change, and I hope it has caused
me to change for the better, to improve.
