First off an interesting presentation by Helen, Keynote speakers, using mind mapping software to present her presentation. Although there was nothing really new in it, it was a different way of presenting.
Next is a breakout for Space supporting Pedagogy.
factors that impact on teaching and learning, design features, trends, space, start with the students, not the building.
Students want to work with each other, online, in their time, in their place, doing things that matter, and to work with technology.
Learning styles, speed of change in the world, curriculum developments, changes to technology.
demand to cater for large number of learning modalities. Mostly design for lecture style and some individual.
Now we need to look at team collaboration, project based learning, story telling, independent study, peer tutoring.
Current spaces in classes/Boxes prevent sharing of best practice.
struggle to accommodate a range of learning configurations
cannot support different sized learning
not support efficient use of eLearning resources
Promote isolation, not collaboration.

1. Focus on networks and infrastructure2. The role of ICTs in personalising learning
3. Focus on technical interoperability
4. The rise of ICTs in Early Childhood

9. Developing 21st Century Skills
10. Alternative approaches to managing and maintaining ICT systems
Networks and Infrastructure
The different levels of IT infrastructure
Application Level
IP Level, (Internet)
Transfer Level
Cable Level
Trunking Level
Regional Loops (MUSH) - North Shore, Nelson
Advanced Networks, there is only one connection to the world advanced networks
Personalising learning
www.standards.dfes.gov.uk/personalisedlearning/
www.futurelab.org.uk/research/personalisation.htm
Interoperability
Learning Management System
Library System
Student Management System
These need to coexist.
Content versus Presentation
exelearning (open source product) , see previous blog
you need to have a SCORM/IMS to be able to use some features. blackboard, moodle, interact
ICT in ECE
Early Childhood centres using ICT
ECE ICT Strategy
Digital Stories - Manaia Kindergarten Blog
Iris and the Microscope - photo story of a 15 month using a digital microscope
ePortfolios – fad or future-focused?
mahara Puts ePortfolio Owners in Contol
www.cjlt.ca/content/vol31.3/tosh.html
where does all the stuff you create get developed, these are now no longer created on written pages, it is moving towards a digital nature.
Storage repository, search able, tagged, private

The challenge of social networking software and informal learning
Struggling to stay focussed with this speaker, keeps going down tangents....

Developing 21st Century Skills
New curriculum development, inform yourself
Key competencies
Literacy Development - see the core ed page for teh link to teh book, might be good to add to the knowledgenet usergroup.
Alternative approaches to managing and maintaining ICT systems
Keynote Helen Baxter - Renaissance 2.0
Learning Pathways - clear pathways and steps so that you can map your own learning. Showed a Mind Meister of her own learning pathway.
Knowledge Mangaement - knowledge walking out in peoples heads…needed to make it available to all (early 90’s).
Provide pathways of potential but not clear cut any more.
Educating New Leonardos
Now is the time to move into the future. Need more creative thinkers…NZ is full of them. History of backyard tinkering - #8 wire tradition.
Coined by NY times journalist - concept of multi disciplinary studies.
NESTA UK - amazing projects coming from it.
Big attitude shift towards life long learning - not just our kids but also for ourselves because we don’t know what we need to now. Need to implant the joy of learning - playful, engaging. Need more auto-didacts (people who go and just learn what they want to learn when they want it).
Western vs Eastern learning philosophies - eastern = learning over earning….continue to learn gives the opportunity to earn over a longer time. Not deliverers but rather facilitators. “What have you learnt today?”
Need to bridge gap of the two generations - Let generation Y teach you.
What will the campuses f the futures look like? Googleplexes – hybrid of work and play.
NZ curriculum shift from what to How style from 2009 – Mary Chamberlain quote – no need for knowledge banks on legs…got computers for that…people got to get used to this!!!
Machines supporting us.
LEARNING 2.0
1. Learn how you learn
2. Core foundations
a. Context is important
b. Avoid early specialism
c. Theoritical, practical, social
3. Provide pathways to open source knowledge
a. Intellectual property is holding back invention and innovation in some areas – should be secondary to public good. Paten law being abused now (?)
4. Life ling learning – develop skills around needs and interests – why do I need to learn this..when will I ever use it? Teach where the knowledge is not what the knowledge is? Einstein had his ph number and address in suit pocket on paper as opposed to in his head
5. More Montessori styles and practises - google founders
6.Physical space and time
Teaching and using the same kind of practises they will be using in their future work environments. Centres for academic excellences being used in the UK – community centres for learning. Schools of ambition and design schools 2.0. Virtual Rome
TEDucation - technology, entertainment, design; ideas worth sharing. TED under 30’s Eva Verte = age 14 came up with a breakthrough in Alzheimers
Cafescribe -online text books. Open Wikis.
Screen generation taking in huge amounts of information being taking on board through the reading of online media.
Able to re-use media over and over - podacasts and blogs able to leave comments in the future.
Careers 2.0
Projects vs jobs - jobs for life not around anymore - even BBC has everyone on temp contracts. Shift of perspective.
Powersearching- how to find information quickly and efficient.
Gaming - is important - training for future careers eg Robot Surgeons. Strategy an teamwork.
Manage knowledge not the process
Self Publishing for $$
How do we educate our leonardos?
You cant but you can instill the right attitudes !!!!
Something Fun!!
