I agree, in order for a technology-enhanced lesson to be effective, the technology has to fade into the background and just be the tool for getting the work done.

The fact that the students are engaged in a lesson doesn't mean that they really learn anything...   How to make sure they learn through technologies ?

Web 2.0 Use in Higher Education | European Journal of Open, Distance and E-Learning

Web 2.0 Use in Higher Education | European Journal of Open, Distance and E-Learning | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From www.eurodl.org - November 26, 2014 4:04 PM

An article by Michelle Rogers-Estable on research carried out in the USA

"This study analyzed current uses of emerging Web 2.0 technologies in higher education with the intent to better understand which tools teachers are using in the classroom. A total of 189 faculty in higher education from three western US universities were invited to participate, with 54 completing the survey. The survey included open-ended questions as well to offer an alternative analysis approach. In this study, the respondents claimed that the intrinsic factors of a lack of time and training were the main barriers to use, and reported positive views of Web 2.0 use in class, with 75% saying that these tools would benefit students and 83% saying they would benefit teacher-student interactions. In contrast to these results only 44% of the respondents used at least 4 of the 13 listed Web 2.0 tools with students. The reported uses did not match with the reported benefits, and this would support the results that extrinsic factors (time, training, support), instead of intrinsic factors (beliefs, motivation, confidence) are the main barriers to faculty in this study using more Web 2.0 in education. The top five Web 2.0 tools used, in order of preference, follow: (a) video sharing with tools like YouTube; (b) instant messaging; (c) blogs; (d) social communities, such as Facebook; and (e) podcasts or video casts."

Education 2.0 Vs Education 3.0- Awesome Chart ~ Educational Technology and Mobile Learning

Education 2.0 Vs Education 3.0- Awesome Chart ~ Educational Technology and Mobile Learning | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From www.educatorstechnology.com - June 14, 2013 8:46 AM

We have been educated in a 1.0 education model, we are teaching in a 2.0 model but our students are living in a 3.0 model. These three models chronicle the major paradigmatic shifts that education has witnessed over the last century. They also represent, in an ironical way, the huge abyss between the actual needs of our students and what is actually being delivered to them in schools.


Below is a very interesting chart created by Dr John Moravec in which he compares between  the three models we mentioned above. Have a look and share with us what you think of it. Enjoy.

13 Good Web Tools to Harness The Power of The Web

13 Good Web Tools to Harness The Power of The Web | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From www.educatorstechnology.com - June 8, 2013 10:50 AM

With the the internet revolution comes along a new information revolution, an abundance of knowledge and an increasing surfeit in our " collective wisdom". However, there are divisive voices over this issue: some think of it as a godsend gift to this generation but others view it as a tsunami that is engulfing everything in its way and that short attention span, laziness, dependence, plagiarism, to mention but a few, are only a small part of the aftermath of this tsunami. Whatever way you look it , there are definitely tools to deal with it.

"If we talk about literacy we have to talk about how to enhance our children's mastery over the tools needed to live intelligent, creative, and involved lives." -Danny Glover

At ISTE 2016 I had the pleasure of sitting on a panel, sponsored by Samsung Education, with other educators and industry experts, spending an hour talking about literacy in the age of technology. It was an engaging discussion that looked at how one district in Tennessee leveraged technology to improve reading in the middle grades and also how literacy instruction is being impacted by the use of technology. My role in the discussion was that of a former District Technology Leader and what I’ve seen when implementing district technology programs centered around literacy.

Tools for conviviality? Illich and social media | Learning with 'e's

From steve-wheeler.blogspot.co.nz - March 2, 2014 6:40 AM

He was known as an anarchist philosopher and an intellectual maverick. A former Roman Catholic priest, he was arguably one of the most outspoken and prescient of all the 20th century's critical theorists, and his work is increasingly influential and relevant in an age where technology has pervaded every aspect of our lives. Ivan Illich hoped for a time when the transmission model of education, or 'funnels', would be replaced by 'educational webs' - his notion of what we now recognise as social networks.

10 Great Tools for Academic Research You Should Know about ~ Educational Technology and Mobile Learning

10 Great Tools for Academic Research You Should Know about ~ Educational Technology and Mobile Learning | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From www.educatorstechnology.com - June 11, 2013 7:56 AM

Compared with how academic research was carried out in the pre-internet era, It seems like technology is really a godsend gift to researchers. From easy and unlimited access to journal articles to web tools that do the referencing and auto-syncing, everything has been digitized making it way easier for todays researchers to add to the body of the human knowledge than any time in history.

As a web 2.0 researcher and a graduate student in the faculty of education in Mount Saint Vincent University, I have had the chance to experiment with a wide variety of web tools that can make your academic life much more easier. Below are some of the web tools I have been recommending to undergraduate, graduate, postgraduate and PHD students, and professors. Check them out below and make sure you share them with your colleagues, they could be in dire need for them.

No. 8 aha moment: web 2.0 will change everything in online learning | Tony Bates - online learning and distance education resources | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From www.tonybates.ca - March 26, 2013 12:59 PM

A broad range of tools with common characteristics that are conveniently lumped together as web 2.0 will fundamentally change the design of online learning and even more significantly, the relationship between post-secondary instructor and student. … The general characteristics of web 2.0 are as follows:

- End-user control/authoring

- Collaboration and sharing

- Collective intelligence

- Low-cost/free, adaptive software

- Rich media

- Portability/mobility


Via Peter B. Sloep

Peter B. Sloep's curator insight, March 25, 2013 12:33 PM

Tony Bates reports that he has "grown increasingly convinced that [web 2.0 tools] have the power to really revolutionize university teaching in particular". Unfortunately, he says, formal post-secondary education shows few signs of have understood this message. This is a pity, he continues, as web 2.0 tools i) can facilitate 21st century knowledge workers,  ii) lend themselves to constructivist approaches, iii) are familiar to students, iv) are more engaging for student.

 

These are the reasons most people will mention for why we should invoke web 2.0 tools. However, Tony's fifth reason is not so familiar and arguably the most powerful one. Eventually, he claims, web 2.0 tools will radically change student assessment. No more paper and pencil or computer marked assignments, but assignment via portfolios and the use of multimedia.  That of course requires us to rethink the idea of a course completely.

 

It also shows that MOOCs really are 'education as we know it' in an online mould. If Tony is right, then we may wonder if quality will prevail (that is redesign of education making full use of the affordances of web 2.0 tools) or if maximizing revenues will prevail (that is, sticking to existing models but broadcasting the content even more widely). Seen in this way, MOOCs really are web 1.0, the information web, rather than the social web that web 2.0 is. So, a step back rather than a step forward. (@pbsloep)

 
Louise Lewis's curator insight, March 26, 2013 6:30 AM
Yes, totally agree with the comments re MOOCS being web 1.0 but what if they are just another resources for a learner in a learner-centred environment?
