Facebook me! There are now more social networking accounts than there are people in the world - 6 million teenage girls Facebook Me , an original play written and performed by teens at the upcoming New York International Fringe Festival Neil Postman  reminds us of that technology: is a Faustian bargain – technology giveth and taketh away but not always in equal measure is not additive but ecological often has winners and losers always embeds some epistemological, social or political bias tends to become mythic and part of the normal social order Source:  Facebook Me! 10 Things You Don't Know about Teens and Social Networking – Sarah B.

Time to rethink Technology in education – we can do better The emerging forms of interactive media, information communication technologies and social networking are  reshaping almost every aspect of our work and social life These new practices and literacies  challenge our traditional ideas  about the form and function of education New opportunities for participation and interaction  are arising from virtual communities of interest where users are active content creators re-mixing, re-purposing and re-distributing content Technology is quite clearly much more than just a  tool  but can be an  evocative object to think with  and an  engine of social and cultural change  CCC in 21C  - Create, Communicate, Collaborate

New ways of thinking “… we must develop not only the technical capability but also the intellectual capacity for transforming tacit pedagogical knowledge into commonly usable and visible knowledge” “ We have an opportunity to change the way we create and exchange information, knowledge, and culture [and offer greater] opportunities for cultural self-reflection and human connection.” “ The learning process is about learning-to-be a practitioner rather than just learning about....” “… we need not simply more information, but people to assimilate, understand, and make sense of it.”

Students & ICT (PISA - OECD) “ The  quality of ICT usage , rather than necessarily the quantity, that will determine the contribution that these technologies make to student outcomes” “ Students are more likely to  use computers frequently at home  than at school, and the educational value of computers needs to be considered in a  range of settings ,  not just in terms of the classroom ” “ Educational benefits  of computers seem to occur when students use  ICT tools that are not designed  purely for learning” “ When it comes to using computers for  high-level tasks  such as programming, the  gender gap is wide ” “ Usage at school may help to compensate for this disadvantage , although the relatively weaker association between school access/usage and performance raises questions over the extent to which it can fully compensate.” Source:  OECD (2005) Are students ready for a technology-rich world?

Networked learning “ In the end, network literacy is all about our own ability to reach out to others to start our own fires, to attend to our own learning needs, and to navigate these new spaces...” “ This new networked space where we can all connect, create and collaborate is one filled with amazing potentials for learning, many that promise to reshape the way we go about our lives both in and outside of school.” How quickly we begin to understand these potentials, first for ourselves and then for our classrooms, will in no small way determine the preparedness of students to compete successfully in the world they will soon inherit”.

Social learning – supporting  different  connections between people, tools and knowledge Disaggregate the artifact  –  Look  around  and  within  the device Need to develop more transformative understandings of  users and technologies in  context (presence and place) No one-size-fits-all - the need for multiple, interactive channels Network literacies - move from browser to contributor Engage users - and give them control over how they interact with the environment Lessons
