Ahhhhh!
Colette Cassinelli quoted Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach’s blog and this quote gave me goose bumps because it stated exactly what I believe.
It’s All about the Learning
Teachers like tangibles. I think the reason there is so much focus on the tools, rather than how to use the tools to support learning is because when we are learning something new we want something concrete to manipulate. Web 2.0 tools like blogs, wikis and podcasts give us that concrete fix. Teachers, like their students, need time to explore the tools before getting on with the learning. However, at some point in a PD 2.0 workshop the focus needs to switch from the tool itself to making the tool a seamless medium for mastery of standards-based objectives and 21st Century life skills.

SecondLife
I have spent time researching SecondLife. I have an avatar, JenaFIRE Voom and have become a member of ISTE in SL. I attended an all day conference in SecondLife on how it is being used in education. This was pretty useful to me and engaging. I worked from home that day and my 17 year old sat and participated for an hour mumbling, I wish I had teachers that would utilize some of these tools. There is a lot of discussion and controversy around the concept. I am going to have Kathy Schrock present at ITSC on this. I am not sure I will go much more indepth, but I think it is a representation of the future, and how we will learn virtually. |  JenaFIRE Voom |
