Students flying in their chairs
100% of all my students use smart phones or tablet computers

A Universe of Cognitive Enhancers
More places than I can imagine

Exercise 1: Teaching in cyber space
Your first class
![Page 10: The flying chair syndrome](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062616/54b2feed4a7959276a8b4655/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Step 1. The clean slate
The set up
Comfort zone
![Page 11: The flying chair syndrome](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062616/54b2feed4a7959276a8b4655/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Step 2. Symbol construction
Trigger cognitive activity
Instill curiosity
![Page 12: The flying chair syndrome](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062616/54b2feed4a7959276a8b4655/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Step 3. Definition construction
Insert a visual cue
I have noIdea whatthoughts aregoing onin the
Student’s mind.

Step 4. Identity construction
Provide for realistic imagination
Open resources for ideation
![Page 14: The flying chair syndrome](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062616/54b2feed4a7959276a8b4655/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

![Page 15: The flying chair syndrome](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062616/54b2feed4a7959276a8b4655/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Step 6. Mirror the setting
Mirrored realities - static
![Page 16: The flying chair syndrome](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062616/54b2feed4a7959276a8b4655/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Step 6. Mirror the setting
Mirrored realities - active

Exercise 2: The era of Digital Literacy
Where are we going with digital literacy?
![Page 18: The flying chair syndrome](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062616/54b2feed4a7959276a8b4655/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Definition of digital literacy
• “Digital literacy is the ability to understandinformation – more important – to evaluateand integrate information in multipleformats that the computer (digital assistant) can deliver. Being
able to evaluate andinterpret information is critical. You can’tunderstand on the internet without evaluating its sources and
placing it in context”. Paul Gilister
Culturally different digital competencies – concept approaches, attitudesDigital usage – application of digital competenciesDigital transformation – creative involvement in the digital domain.

Basics of digital literacy?
1. Be proficient with tools2. Cross cultural connections3. Collaborative problem solving4. Strengthen independent thinking5. Manage, analyze, synthesize multiple streams of simultaneous info.6. Create, critique, analyze and evaluate multimedia texts.7. Share information within global communities.

The Learning Cycle for digital literacy
Digital literacy for in-service teachers is the ability to use digital artefacts as an integrated part of their pedagogical content knowledge and be aware of what implications this has for teaching, learning strategies. Krumsvik, Norway
![Page 21: The flying chair syndrome](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062616/54b2feed4a7959276a8b4655/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Taxonomy of Learning
![Page 22: The flying chair syndrome](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062616/54b2feed4a7959276a8b4655/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Digital literacy and cognitive enhancement?
A game or not a game?
![Page 23: The flying chair syndrome](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062616/54b2feed4a7959276a8b4655/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Digital literacy and Cognitive Interoperability
Teaching scenario:
1.You walk intothe classroom.
2. Every studentis text messaging.
3.You are anotherfish in the sea.
Welcome to decentralized asynchronous learning?

Digital Literacy and Connectivism
Complex learning in a rapidly changing social digital world.
![Page 25: The flying chair syndrome](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062616/54b2feed4a7959276a8b4655/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Conclusion to Connectivism chart
Relative diversity of the group was a source of growth, enrichment and cognitive dissonance – in short, each person was important to the learning environment.The idea that learning occurred as a result of this diversity is in line with network theory and specifically the theory of interpersonal ties, which postulates that “weak ties” between individuals are more likely to facilitate the flow of new information than “strong ties”.

Exercise 3: Multiple Literacy
![Page 28: The flying chair syndrome](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062616/54b2feed4a7959276a8b4655/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
From Boston to Thailand

This is what they are sayingKeys to 21st Century Learning
• To learn collaboration, work in teams.
• To learn critical thinking, take on complex problems.
• To learn oral communication, present.
• To learn written communication, write.
• To learn technology, use technology.
• To develop citizenship, take on civic and global issues.
• To learn about careers, do internships.
• To learn content, research and do all of the above.
![Page 30: The flying chair syndrome](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062616/54b2feed4a7959276a8b4655/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Digital Literacy is less about tools and more about thinking.
• Lets Re-mix this idea:1. Language – print and texting, as well as visual, and
multimedia.
2. Information – searching, tagging, critical thinking
and filtering.
3. Connections – social skills and networking,
collaboration, digital safety and intercultural awareness.
4. (RE)Design – remix literacy, copyright awareness
![Page 31: The flying chair syndrome](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062616/54b2feed4a7959276a8b4655/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
What is cognitive enhancement?
• Impacting both the task and the learner using cognitive strategies is referred to as Cognitive enhancement.
• From a teachers perspective:
1. Evaluate the content
2. Determine the necessary approaches to learning for student success.
3. Using instructional supports to help students apply techniques and strategies
![Page 32: The flying chair syndrome](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062616/54b2feed4a7959276a8b4655/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Exercise 4: Iconic Teaching Techniques
• The main objective behind this technique is to find a way in which a student can quickly grasp an idea related to any subject and at the same time allowing the student to apply that understanding to the subject they are studying and help them learn more about it. Iconic Teaching Technique incorporates a multi tasking approach as well as a multiple stimulus approach by offering many different ways for a student to relate to a subject
![Page 33: The flying chair syndrome](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062616/54b2feed4a7959276a8b4655/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Cognitive stimulation techniques
Developing higher order functions

ITT Example
• "Green technology is a continuous evolving group of methods and materials from techniques for generating energy to non-toxic products."
Color association with objects for Green Technology
![Page 35: The flying chair syndrome](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062616/54b2feed4a7959276a8b4655/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
What is cognitive development?
• Sorting objects by one characteristic – by color
• Classifying - architecture and ecology
• Understanding the objects can be changed or regrouped
• Following a pattern
• Sequencing pictures to tell a story
• Putting together a puzzle

Scaffolding – solving the learning puzzle
Lev Vygotsky defines scaffolding instruction as the “role of teachers and others in supporting the learner’s development and providing support structures to get to that next stage or level”.

How will we adjust to digital literacy?
WolframAlpha’s New Computational Knowledge Engine
In most languages there’s a sharp distinction between programs, and data, and the output of programs. Not so in the Wolfram Language. It’s all completely fluid. Data becomes algorithmic. Algorithms become data. There’s no distinction needed between code and data. And everything becomes both intrinsically scriptable, and intrinsically interactive. And there’s both a new level of interoperability, and a new level of modularity.
