It’s (still) not OK for teachers to remain digitally illiterate. Here’s why… - Darren E. Draper - Medium | Training and Assessment Innovation | Scoop.it
Just over ten years ago, Karl Fisch wrote a blog post that has stuck with me through the years. In it, he asked if it was OK to be a technologically illiterate teacher. Even though we’ve learned greatly in the last decade about the merits of using technology to replace teachers, I think Karl’s arguments back then are even more relevant today. In this post, I’ll explain why.

Submit topics of debate and vote your opinion on trending topics. We match you with someone who has the opposite opinion.

We believe that conversation is the way to bridge the gap between people. Technology put us into filter bubbles, now we're using technology to burst out of them.

And as with climate change, there are many (who hold great power) denying it happens or denying that we’re the cause of it happening, and thus denying that there’s anything we can or should do about it."

Learning Creative Learning: It's not a MOOC, it's a community – MIT Media Lab

Learning Creative Learning: It's not a MOOC, it's a community – MIT Media Lab | Training and Assessment Innovation | Scoop.it

"On Wednesday, October 18, a team from the Media Lab’s Lifelong Kindergarten group is launching a new, experimental online course: Learning Creative Learning. Free, open to anyone, and supported by the Learning Initiative at the Media Lab, the six-week course aims to create a global community of like-minded educators and learners. Unlike a traditional MOOC, the course emphasizes collaboration over instruction; the goal is to foster the same environment of creative learning that it's teaching to participants.


While Learning Creative Learning is open for anyone to join, the focus is on education—on cultivating kids’ creativity in a learning environment.  There are currently 12,000 people signed up, from more than 50 countries. The course is being led by Mitch Resnick, head of the Lifelong Kindergarten group, recent grad Carmelo Presicce, and learning resources developer Moran Tsur. They will lead the community in readings, hands-on activities, and videos, while providing the participants with opportunities to work on independent and collaborative projects."
