Digitale fortellinger i skolen!

Nå er jeg endelig ferdig med en fagboken Digitale fortellinger i skolen (Versjon 2012). Jeg har faktisk holdt på med denne teksten i over to år. Boken er spekket med praktiske tips og eksempler på hvordan man kan bruke digitale fortellinger i undervisningen på ulike måter. Og det beste av alt er at du kan laste ned en gratis PDF-av boken!

Jeg anbefaler alle å kikke pånettversjonen av boken. Boken er egentlig primært en digital lærebok. Nettversjonen lenker direkte til mange digitale fortellinger som du selv kan se på YouTube. Det er også ganske mange fine bilder i boken sammenliknet med andre fagbøker. Disse er hentet fra nettstedet Wikimedia Commons.

Digital kompetanse i lærerutdanninga

I februar la Utdanningsdirektoratet fram en revisjon av lærerplanene for grunnskolen og videregående skole. Bakgrunnen for revideringen er tilbakemeldinger fra lærere om at basisferdighetene i alle lærerplaner ikke er godt nok relatert til kompetansemålene. I tillegg har en ny basisferdighet innen digital kompetanse skapt nye utfordringer for skoleverket.

Ungdomsskoletrinnet har innført flere nye valgfag. Et av de nye valgfagene er Produksjon av informasjon.

I Norge har det vært lite politisk trykk i forhold til det digitale. Det siste utdanningspolitiske dokumentet for satsing på IKT for hele utdanningssektoren, var Program for Digital kompetanse 2004-2008. KS har hatt et satsingsdokument som heter IKT og grunnopplæringen 2008-2012.

The Role of Tech vs The Purpose of Education

Working in the field of digital media and learning, where the important role of new technologies in learning seems self-evident, the slow pace of change in mainstream education can feel frustrating. Responding to this challenge, we give a lot of attention to thinking about ways to support and encourage teachers to make greater use of the opportunities presented by digital media, but perhaps we should spend more time considering how and why technologies come to be used, or not used, in the first place.

Dark Side of the iPad ~ Collecting student projects is difficult!

So, what are some of the stumbling blocks?

• One cannot upload a file to a LMS or CMS via a conventional browser upload.
• You cannot drag & drop files so as to save them to other computers, external hard drives or portable flash drives.
• You are not able to export files via a simple drag & drop or automatically sync to networked servers and non-Apple cloud based file storage systems such as DropBox.

This is due to the fact that each app on the iPad manages its own files independently of all the other apps. Files are saved with the app. They are not saved to a system wide directory or folder structure. Transferring files is challenging.

Digital natives lacking interpersonal skills

John K. Mullen started in The HBR Blog Network a series about The New Rules for Getting a Job. Mullen warns digital natives to be aware that the internet may have partially rewired their brain in such a way that when they meet people face to face, they’re less capable of figuring out what others are thinking.

Research indicates that because there’s only so much time in the day, face-to-face interaction time drops by nearly 30 minutes for every hour a person spends on a computer. With more time devoted to computers and less to in-person interactions, young people may be understimulating and underdeveloping the neural pathways necessary for honing social skills.

Growing Up Digital, Wired for Distraction

Students have always faced distractions and time-wasters. But computers and cellphones, and the constant stream of stimuli they offer, pose a profound new challenge to focusing and learning.

Researchers say the lure of these technologies, while it affects adults too, is particularly powerful for young people. The risk, they say, is that developing brains can become more easily habituated than adult brains to constantly switching tasks — and less able to sustain attention.

“Their brains are rewarded not for staying on task but for jumping to the next thing,” said Michael Rich, an associate professor at Harvard Medical School and executive director of the Center on Media and Child Health in Boston. And the effects could linger: “The worry is we’re raising a generation of kids in front of screens whose brains are going to be wired differently.”

Why ICT should still be taught in schools and a way to do it properly

Since Xmas I have embarked on a completely new approach to teaching three Year 10 classes the dreaded and much maligned OCR Nationals ICT course. Yet, it could be said that for the most part I have embarked on not teaching them ICT at all, teaching them apsects of Life Skills, Personal Development, Business Studies, Design etc etc, and then bringing IT into their work at a later date. This has borrowed heavily from lots of research and reading mainly on Passion-Based Learning, the Design Thinking/Problem Finders approach, various inspirational school models and was undoubtedly influenced by Sir Ken Robinson (see end of post for many of these references).

Here is a step-by-step outline of the approach to teaching of this. In my opinion, with the right approach, ICT can and will be an essential part of your students’ learning.
