Is it rude and detrimental to be discussing/looking things up during lectures?
It is evolving e.g. mobile phones turned off during lectures
Social and cultural norms will develop and depend on nature of conference
Roles will evolve – e.g. lecturers
Reflecting and evaluating while in the process of doing it very difficult
You are reacting – giving speaker richer feedback
Need to manage people’s attention when teaching
At conference trading in people’s attentions
2 issues:
If it is going to work the lecturer would need to have control of how people use it (constructively)
Role of education?
2 issues – how knowledge and knowledge development is changing
-ubiquity of technologies
increasing network enables education to change role --- more participative role, less transmissional; knowledge widely distributed, co-creation
Technology aids and abets
If completely networked world – these networks are owned – educationalist not involved in the development of standards etc Need to be involved.
Educationalists are involved – students bring the technologies brought in – so educationalists are being led.
Young people exploit comm. Channels – social support – as opposed to the content/knowledge – go to social network.
Technolgy offering opportunities to structure events in different ways e.g. choosing text over phone.
Blogging – can it be imported into classroom?
Controlling space to define identity – personal freedoms.
Can you design events?
Things we mistake we can design are things that evolve.
Reflective logs – needs to suit the way people want to do it.
Do they need to post to a blog, discussion board to learn?
Medium for expression or a medium for communication?
If a feedback channel needed– would manage this in a different way.
Audience important.
What is the imagined audience – what is the real audience?
Implication for school age classrooms?
This would trickle down.
Very motivating to children to publish on web.
How will we learn?
It will evolve.
Do we educate students to be users of technologies or designers, creators of these technologies? (critical co-creator people)
Should children learn to programme? Can teach everyone everything or teach programmers how to think like layperson.
If you don’t have a sense of programming…..can’t create…another tool for creativity.
Can education take back Intellectual ownership from commercial ownership of information? Infrastructure owners own information (e.g satellite tv) What we teach is controlled by what people are prepared to transmit.
