Students: Digital Natives

“We have reached the point where our students are no longer the ones that our systems were designed for, and that our teachers were trained to teach.”

Marc Prensky

Open Letter to Obama Administration

SAEDAH 27th May 2010ICT INTEGRATIONAncient History: Web 1.0

InternetContent

In Web 1.0 the Internet is considered an information repository, a place to access whatever information someone would place on it.

Content Providers would digitise everything they

had: news, print, videos, photos, and post them in web pages for viewers to

access.Webmasters would take care of providing the web pages for the rest of us to browse.

Users would view or download the content

found there.

The only contributions from users to the internet were in discussion boards.

Web Applications

In Web 2.0 the Internet is a repository for applications, which allow users to perform tasks or create objects without software or servers.

Expands Web 1.0 concepts by allowing extensive user-supplied content.

Additionally, permits easy social interaction among users.

All tasks, functions, productions, etc. are performed from any machine via only a web browser.

These developing interactions among users

and web apps is becoming known as

cloud computing.

discerning so that they can shield themselves from harm while adopting ethical practices in cyberspace


Our Growing Need to Connect

Web 2.0 service offerings grow day by day.

The expectation is that new services will continue to surface and develop into online tools that compliment educational experiences.

Our students gravitate to Web 2.0 because it recognizes their individual contributions and it validates the essential need to connect.

Some of the sites need to be checked out first before they are used in the classroom. Source : " Web 2.0 Wave Rolls into Classrooms" by Donald Hawkins, April 2007

Classroom Connect Newsletter, Volume 13, No. 7 Facebook - is a social utility that connects you with the people around you.

MySpace - An international site that offers email, a forum, communities, videos and weblog space.

Scrapblog - is the best place to share your digital scrapbooks with your friends, family, and the world.


Alert

• There are many Web 2.0 “apps” which are useful for both

learning and teaching, so the teacher will need to think creatively how to apply them to particular learning problems.

• The sites on the following slides are NOT comprehensive.

• Rather, they are to give you a general picture of view of what we mean by Web 2.0.

• These web apps are growing at a rapid pace… Some may have even disappeared since this presentation was created!Next month, next year will find many, manymore and varied offerings.

• If you locateany others, please share them with theclass!
