Shifting Toward An Architecture of Participation

Shifting Toward An Architecture of Participation | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it

"Reading, in terms of scale and diversity, is different than it used to be. Thinking, in terms of context and application, is also different.

It makes since that learning is also changing–becoming more entrepreneurial than directly didactic. That is, more learner-centered ... than teacher-controlled."


Beth Dichter's insight:

This post from te@chthought provides an embedded slideshare, Designing Digital Futures. The post pulls out some of the information found within the slideshow. The post looks at 

Architecture of Participation: 7 Characteristics of Future Learning which are defined as:

* Collaborating

* Tagging

* Voting

* Networking

* User-Generated Content

* Tools

* Sharing

and also Communal Construction.

Take some time to check out the slideshare. There are many great slides that will make you pause and think about what may be taking place in your classroom.

A ThingLink challenge and new video tagging

A ThingLink challenge and new video tagging | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it

"One of the most versatile and easiest-to-use platforms I’ve used over the past several years is ThingLink.

I’ve used the interactive poster tagging tool to create and embed media-rich image maps, to annotate and evaluate the claims infographics make, as a portfolio and as a curation tool."

Beth Dichter's insight:

ThingLink has been around for quite some time and is a great tool for educators. This summer they are running a professiona development program which is free and self-paced (and it is not too late to join). For more information on this opportunity check out the Google+ Community.

ThingLink has also just launched a new video tagging tool. For more information on that check out the post.
