openness • social media • student voice/choice
3 tenets of my teaching
openness • social media • student voice/choice
openness • social media • student voice/choice
AIM:
choose openness
where possible & where appropriate
USE
CREATE
SHARE
open resources
create to share, CC-licensed
openly, including my/our own learning
openness • social media • student voice/choice
Social Mediaenables connection and learningacross the (artificial) boundaries
of time and space
TIME... class time, term time, academic year
SPACE... classrooms, labs, desks, buildings
“I don’t think education is about centralized instruction anymore; rather, it is the process [of] establishing oneself as a node in a broad network of distributed creativity.” – Joichi Ito @joi

digital identity
“In a digital, networked, open world people become less defined by the institution to which they belong and more by the network and online identity they establish.

I asked a few students and
past students (HE) for
permission to share these
tweets...
