“I don’t think education is about centralized instruction anymore; rather, it is the process [of] establishing oneself as a node in a broad network of distributed creativity.” – Joichi Ito (2011)

“Recently our class has begun to use more social networking sites like Facebook and tools like DropBox to share notes and keep up to date with lectures. I found this to be a great benefit in studying and managing my work.”

Social networking...

#studentvoice

“Strange putting a face to the voice of my first year maths lecturer! Khan Academy is possibly one of the most useful sources for students studying maths. The idea is simple, If you don't understand the first time you watch it... watch it again.”

Khan Academy...

#studentvoice

“If a student is working on an assignment and they don’t understand something, who better to ask then to ask the lecturer who set the assignment!

Twitter allows this question to be posted instantly, the lecturer or indeed another student would be very prompt in their response.”

#studentvoice

“Twitter allows lecturers to instantly share their ideas, websites or posts that they have just discovered themselves with students, instead of having to wait until the next lecture.

...can also allow people who are not in the class to engage in the classroom discussion. Twitter lets the classroom open up and engage to a world full of people with experience and knowledge.”

I have been an active blogger since 2006, and I often say that becoming one was the best decision I have ever made in my academic life. - Martin Weller (2012)

“In a digital, networked, open world people become less defined by the institution to which they belong and more by the network and online identity they establish.”

THE FUTURE

“Our concern as educatorswhen we inquire into the future

should not be one of preparing ourselves

for an inevitable future and attempting to

‘future-proof’ our systems...

Instead, we should see the relationship between the future and education

as a reciprocal dialogue ofanticipation,

adaptationand creation.”

Keri Facer (2011)Learning Futures: Education,

technology and social change
