"What follows is my Ignite talk for ISTE 2013. It was rejected by the selection committee. As I already conceptualized the talk and think it is such an important topic, I am disseminating my text and slides via my blog and Slideshare. First, Education 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 are described. Later, I discuss the consequences of Education 1.0 vs Education 3.0 on learners (and educators!) especially those that do not fit the mold of Education 1.0."

Rocket21 is a free web resource to help support tweens (defined as youth ages 9 - 15) "to explore their interests, passions and future careers with real-life professionals." According to an article on Mashable (http://mashable.com/2012/09/07/rocket21) the site, which works as an open forum will provide "an opportunity for kids to explore their dreams with some of the brightest minds in the world.” The website will allow students to (quoting from the Rocket21 website): * Learn about 21st century jobs and pursuits * Connect with experts from a wide range of professions * Explore the evolving range of options with STEM disciplines * Gain an insider's view of careers ranging from engineers to musicians to teachers * Take responsibility for exploring their own choices and futures If you work with tweens this site is worth checking out. There are links applicable to members (as in students), educators and parents. If a child is under 13 the parent must confirm their registration.

"Some of us are on a mission to see how many friends we can acquire on Facebook or followers we can grab on Twitter. You can't help but wonder: Are we so busy making new friends and spending time with them online that we are failing to nurture real-world friendships the old fashioned way? Is how we socialize online eroding our real-life relationships? Or maybe just changing them?"

This 11-year-old could not find a good enough Facebook alternative so he decided to build his own social network, Grom Social.
Beth Dichter's insight:
This is a pretty amazing site, created by an 11 year old as a safe social site for children. This post from provides a great overview, but perhaps the word of the founder says it the best... "I have been building my site since Nov. 2011. I spend lots of time drawing new graphics, researching new games, fun facts, cool kids books, cool videos, nutrition tips and highlighting the best young up and coming athletes. It is coming along well. Kids seem to like my site, especially the Grom Helpers and the games. I am excited to watch it grow. I am proud of my efforts in making my idea a reality."

There are so many Learning Management Systems available, and Lore in one of them. Originally known as Coursekit, it has been redesigned and is getting great reviews. The website states: "With best-in-class teaching and discussion tools, Lore turns your class into an online community. By signing up, you’re joining the largest network of instructors and students in the world. Learn more."

In times when content has become a commodity the thing that sets one platform or service apart from the other is the ability to build context around the content. In the case of Lore, this context is community. This community starts with the instructor and the students of a particular course but does not end there. Like on Facebook students have the ability to talk to and interact with each other outside of their course or school.
