This video about the power of learning to code demonstrated the adaptation, creativitity, collaboration, and innvation that is available to you when you are code literate. The new technology curriculum requries that students use digital technologies to creative innovate and digitally work with, and share, data; this video shows how coding allows you to do all this in ways that are as indiviudal as each student.

The Internet is changing . . . again.
Rebecca Shiels's insight:
To many, Web 3.0 is something called the Semantic Web, a term coined by Tim Berners-Lee, the man who invented the (first) World Wide Web. In essence, the Semantic Web is a place where machines can read Web pages much as we humans read them, a place where search engines and software agents can better troll the Net and find what we're looking for Delete the scoop?

Sugatra Mitra shares on his initial discoveries about technology without structured schooling but also about sharing in the cloud. Will knowing become obsolete? What I liked most about this video is the most important aspect of schooling which is encouragement based. Shifting from threat to pleasure is indeed the best part about learning! Granny cloud in homeschooling, ha! Letting learning happen is what it is all about. Can we stand back and admire the answer? Delete the scoop?

Project-based learning (PBL) is a method used to cultivate learning and teach students 21st century skills. The idea is “built upon authentic learning activities that engage student interest and motivation,” and “generally reflect the types of learning and work people do in everyday world outside the classroom” Via Karen Bonanno, Anne McLean

I like the graph that displays the difference between a typical classroom project and project-based learning. Also, some useful weblinks to other resources in the topic.

This is done in my son's school and depending on who set the project it can work really well. If though the teacher has not worked with the school librarian it doesn't work quite as well.
