Diana Oblinger presented a keynote via video conference, covering a lot of ideas on how to approach teaching with todays learners.
Some key points (for me anyway):
1. For teachers:
develop networks
social connections - e.g. http://www.linkedin.com
2. For learning environments:
Round tables, small screens
Formal and informal learning environments
3. To change Teachers:
Focus on the learners - what are the like?
Change the teaching/learning spaces - promote interaction/collaboration environments
Gain a students perspective - get them to describe how they use different tools in their lives/learning
4. Stats
34 million blogs
16000 blog posts per hour
Av age of online gamers = 38!
5. Students are:
digital
connected
experiential
immediate
social
