EduBloggerCon – What are we as EduBloggers really doing?
First session of the day at EduBloggerCon. Description is:
But is there anyone interested in taking an hour to discuss the creation of a short list of talking points regarding the uses of the Read/Write Web in education? What key points should we be making? What key points CAN we be making? To whom should we be making them? What questions do we need to have answers for? How can we best package all of that? I know this sounds like the beginnings of a marketing campaign, but it might be worth a try…or not. Maybe we can start a wiki to dump ideas in beforehand?
Heh, we just went around the room and said their names. Afterwards, Warlick pointed out, “This is my aggregator!”
So the question is, what is the two minute elevator pitch?
Vicki is pointing out that if you talk to a politician, you have the opportunity to make one point. That’s it. You try to make two points, you’re toast. She thinks that we should be advocates for Internet Safety. Kids want to be safe, teachers want them to be saf,e but how do we do it when we can’t take any actions within the school environment?
Chris Sessums points out (credit to Warlick) that when you talk technology, you lose half the room. But if you talk about literacy, people can relate to it.
chris Lehman hates the terms 21st Century Workforce, prefers 21st Century citizen. The way we’re dealing with information is changing.
I can’t help but wonder where we’re really going here. Everybody wants change, but perhaps I’m just a concrete sort of person, I really want to know what specific changes people would like to see?
Responsible, ethical and safe use.
If schools don’t adapt to deal with a new world.
Classic Web 2.0 moment. Sheryl was making a point when her laptop started recieving a Skype call from someone in Tennessee who wanted to listen in on the conversation. Very cool.
Conversation is too good to keep blogging. Hopefully someone else has better notes. But it looks like I’m getting good audio recorded.
Vicki took some great notes. They can be found here, along hopefully with other peoples’ as well.

“Everybody wants change, but perhaps I’m just a concrete sort of person, I really want to know what specific changes people would like to see?” It is true that it’s like everybody wants change but you can’t see any change at all. But still, there are people who have concrete plans and concrete actions and I salute people of those kind.

I guess Skype is not only for calling my grandkids then?

Education and technology — there is so much potential here. My husband is a professor and more of his classes are being taught online, which he loves, but it’s like the new frontier. And I think you hit the nail on the head: what is the priority to go after here? (And how do you manage to link RSS feeds into your comments? That is way cool!)

This is the new way to reach out to students so that their learning will more sufficient. Many no longer believe in the power of the classroom. what better way to reach to them but to beat them in their own game and that is online.

@kaycee: yes, it’s definitely true! Some kids nowadays ditch school in exchange for internet games and stuffs. Online learning can be a great tool to lure these netizens to learn while studying. But on the contrary, If I were to choose between having a real teacher and one that’s on the screen, I’d definitely pick out the former.

I think we are headed in the right direction in terms of integrating technology into education, however; more can be done. In general, kids have access to more information and are learning more now than ever before. That said, we need to continue shortening the digital gap between the less fortunate (inner city kids) and the fortunate. More schoolbooks need to be digitized and there needs to be more interactive learning in the classroom and from home via the internet. Also, we need to lobby to congress to ensure all kids in all schools have computers, bridging the gap between the have’s and the have not’s.

I think the evolution of education and technology is awesome. During a recent visit to my boss’s house. Her 5 year old was “playing” with a counting and writing numbers tutorial on an iPad. She was loving it! (And learning at the same time!) I think if used correctly–technology can only benefit education.
