Live blogging Curtis Bonk's presentation from Indiana State University at the Georgia Association of Educators Technology Conference.
We all learn — 10 forces that opened the learning world. World is being made life long. Web 2.0 is a symbol of that participation.
His slides are available at www.trainingshare.com.
He mentions alternative reality learning and real time mobility. Personal Learning Networks.
Take the 10 trends and index them.
1) Pipings/ Infrastructure
2) Content — OER – Open Education Resources — free content available to anyone in the world. Open access and collaboration. Multitasking. Global sharing.
He went to other places and 10 years a go they said “We don't share here.” But now things have changed and they do share now.
3) culture that is accepting of this new concept of sharing information.
We're at that juncture where it is changing and that is what makes being an educator exciting. You can teach anyone anywhere in the world.
Free access to Shakespeares' works and everything else. The search is on. He has a link to Jeff Han on Ted Talks. How will we take advantage of that?
The owner of google would like a chip in your brain. (? I haven't heard that before.) That is the dream he has. (I have a student doing a video on google brain.)
Open Content Alliance is trying to index and scan in all books. The wayback machine allows you to go back in time and look at the older things in time.
The tide has changed. Taking online classes. (note with online classes — I'm finding that many of them are text only classes and am not happy w/ how they are doing.)
Technology in K12 — Broadband access is less of a barrier.
Julie Young FLVS — Georgia Virtual School — Utah 50,000 electronic students. Ohio is doing a lot of online learning as well. Hawaii, West Virginia, Wisconsin.
3) The availablility of “Free stuff” the FOSS movement (Free and open source software).
Apache, Moodle, etc. Free tools for course management. Free MIT courseware. educommons platform — several organizations — National University of Vietnam — the 2nd university to go online — put everything online.
Moodle — hundreds of thousands of people who moodle. Course management system (I keep wondering if I should set this up for us at our school.)
4. Leveraged resources and open content. Tufts university has put their coursework online. (I have to wonder if overchoice will come into play here — when will universities start using one another's materials? Or do we have to all create it?)
Oops — Opensource Opencourse Prototype System.
Talking about Foundation of Fantasy, Lucifer — made millions translating Lord of the Rings into Chinese. Largest volunteer translation network in the world — translating the MIT courses. They translate as best as they can.
Has an article coming out next week — the culture of the translation process.
Open Learning Object Repositories, sharing content across courses. Content online that is reusable, accessible, maintainable.
Free video lectures. No mans land? In itunes indexing lectures Government indexing portals.
Merlot — higher ed — Multimedia educational resource for learning and online teaching — resource. 20,000 free contents for many topics for anyone to use — over 40,000 are using it. In 2007 people are sharing. It is peer reviewed. (Cool — I've seen it before but didn't realize it was peer reviewed.)
GELCL – Global education and learning community – curriki — talked about that. Scott McNeely from Sun Microsystems.
Where is Matt — the name of the video — geography –(the videos are called — Where the hell is Matt? and are on youtube — Matt Harding — I doubt the filters will let it through).
