Creating the Conditions to Unlearn

Creating the Conditions to Unlearn | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

===> It requires moving beyond the limitations of “I” and move towards the power of “we” <===

 

It requires us to persevere in our thinking and our efforts – without threat of humiliation or being labelled stupid

 

It requires to move beyond superficial knowledge and move toward deep understanding.

 

Perhaps if we want to see some of the educational reforms that come with “unlearning”, we need to start creating the conditions for “unlearning” for many of our educational partners

 

Still figuring it out…..

I believe that today we must unlearn to really be able to learn...That at least is what I try to do

Unlearning is the real challenge here ... the learning comes easy after that.

Webmasters help for hacked sites – Google | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Unfortunately, it’s likely your site was hacked.Every day, cybercriminals compromise thousands of websites. Hacks are often invisible to users, yet remain harmful to anyone viewing the page — including the site owner. For example, unbeknownst to the site owner, the hacker may have infected their site with harmful code which in turn can record keystrokes on visitors’ computers, stealing login credentials for online banking or financial transactions. 

In this first step, we explain how and why hacks happen, and review options for recovery.

The 10 Skills Modern Teachers Must Have

Ana Cristina Pratas's curator insight, March 13, 2013 11:13 AM

There’s been a lot of talk about 21st century learners, 21st century teachers, and connected classrooms. There’s a daily influx of new technology into your inbox and your classroom feels woefully behind the times even if you’re flipping your 1:1 iPad classroom that’s already online and part of a MOOC. What are modern teachers to do with all this jargon and techno-babble being thrown at them all day long?

Simple. Take a step back. Breathe. And pick out just a small number of things you want to try in your classroom. Whether you’re itching to try a BYOD classroom or simply integrating a HyFlex model, it’s easy to take one digital step at a time, right? No need to try and revolutionize your classroom in one afternoon. That’s a recipe for failure.

In my experience, I’ve seen teachers attempt to integrate 30 iPads into their classroom by handing them out and then trying to figure out which apps are worth using. Integrating something as powerful as the iPad takes months of preparation, professional development, and buy-in by the students. If they just think ‘hey a way for me to play Angry Birds during class!’ then you have a steep hill to climb. So that’s why I’d encourage you, the modern teacher, to tackle each modern method one at a time.

You Want Me To Use This In My Classroom? What's The Point?

You Want Me To Use This In My Classroom? What's The Point? | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it


There is one in every school. There is one in every district. There is that one teacher, no matter what you do, no matter how much time you take, how slow you go, how much one-on-one time you spend with them, there is that one teacher who is not going to integrate technology into their classroom. They dig in their heals.


===> They bury their heads in the sand. <===


They shut the doors to their classroom, leaving technology (and perhaps ultimately quality learning) out in the cold.

Open Educational Practice -Are communities helpful environments for changing professional practice?

Open Educational Practice -Are communities helpful environments for changing professional practice? | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

One set of key findings was around the role of communities in the release of Open Educational Resources (OER).  How professional practice is transformed to support activities underpinning the release of OER, sometimes called open educational practice (OEP), is not well understood. Communities of practice provide a positive environment for changing professional practice.


Examples of communities are subject discipline communities or communities within an institution. Each community will have members with different roles (for example academics, support staff, learners), regulated by specific rules. These sorts of communities are important if the benefits of a culture of open resources, open knowledge, free sharing and peer collaboration in education are to be realised.


The UKOER programme provided a context to explore these tensions and highlight the benefits and limitations of communities in transforming professional practice.

For Open Education week at 11am (GMT) on Thursday at Lou McGill, David Kernohan and Allison Littlejohn will present some of the key findings from the UKOER programme ‘What you can learn from the UKOER experience‘. The programme included over 80 projects aiming to release OER ,funded by two UK government agencies, Jisc (www.jisc.ac.uk) and the Higher Education Academy (HEA www.hea.ac.uk). The programme was based on the idea that widespread involvement of faculty and support staff within the programme would bring about a sustainable change in culture from focusing on content ownership, to focusing on open sharing; and that building a critical mass of OER would bring about sustainable change in practices of reuse and re-purposing. The lessons learned from evaluation and synthesis of the programme are available from http://bit.ly/oerevalsynth
