02.Brainstorm+Page

Dear Team, I think we need to have an online talk, as we are all feeling unsure of our roles, am I right ? The wiki is the place to start to put the research. Chris I copied your stuff on the page of Change. We need to divide the work.. Into the 4 sections.
 * identify the change, 03.The Change
 * explain its significance,04.The significance
 * explain it with respect to broader social, economic or educational changes, that is, the context of the change, and 05.Broader Changes
 * discuss the implications for educators and education practice.06.Implications 4 Education

Can we meet on the online forum todaysmeet, i have created the meeting room again. 6 pm or 7pm tonight. If between then and now we think about an area we want to do. I think we are agreed that it is the Digitial Education Revolution and the educational changes that have come as a result of that, naturally there are the implementation issues, Which could incorporated into the: broader changes ( I am happy to do that section!).

This is the link: 6 pm or 7 Pm []

Please let me know what you think.. Sorry Tania I havnt rang you.. I think we need to talk as a group? I would image that each of us would use our page of the wiki as the presentation, ie not necessarilly the standard PPT. Like I said we need to talk. Rough Agenda for our online meeting. What do you think? Denise
 * 1) Agree on the nature of the change
 * 2) Choose our sections
 * 3) Set deadlines
 * 4) Organise a meeting for saturday morning early? Say 8 oclock before the class?

This is the place for scribbling. If we could use the colour that we are and then we can come up with the focus.. I will create pages of our process. Calumn, are we thinking about doing a Prezi, we could do a group prezi, however it needs to happen at the same time? Is any of you on Twitter. I am @Lofts1964 http://twitter.com

We could communicate, maybe through twitter, or we could have a meeting online through todaysmeet. I have set up a meeting room. @http://todaysmeet.com/learn4change just log in Say can we meet online at maybe 6.30 pm Tuesday 11th October. In the mean time we can add to this wiki our resources. Denise

Hi there all,

Here are a few quotes taken from the readings that i thought might be pithy little additions to our presentation:

From: Learning in Adulthood Sharan Merriam, Rosemary Caffarella and Lisa Baum Gartner (3rd edition) 2007 (note: starts on page 254 of the readings booklet)

"in an indusrtrial age, machine technology extended physical ability; in an information society, computer technology extends mental ability" "having access to unlimited information is not the same as being able to search efficiently for the most significant information, or even to know what is most significant" "In the long run, excesses of technology mean the comparative advantage shifts from those with information glut to those with ordered knowledge, from those who can process vast amounts of blab to those who can explain what is worth knowing and why" (learning how to learn) "learning in a global community can be empowering but it can also serve as a mechanism for exclusion and control. The move to a knowledge based economy means that those who have the lowest levels of skills and the weakest capacity for constant updating are less likely to find sustainable employment: (questions of equity and the purpose of education - is it to produce workers?) "Formal learning takes place in educational institutions and often leads to degrees or some sort of credit. Nonformal learning refers to the organised activities outside educational institutions such as community organisations. Informal learning refers to the experiences of everyday living from which we learn something" (Some definitions that we can maybe use to put the e-learning that happens through the laptops in some sort of context)
