Digital Literacy ≠ ICT skills
“Staff capability with ICT is a further dimension of the digital divide … and effective use of technology to enhance learning is as much of an issue as getting it to work” [JISC 2009]

Online Reference materialWiki(pedia) as definitive web 2.0 reference
– large item size (lots of content on a page)– large collection size (lots of pages)
Delicious provide references – links other online content– smaller item size (1024 char in notes)
RSS provide references to updates– small items in themselves– non-persistant => no structure / search
wiki

References – How much content?Can construct an order based on how much content each technology can / typically support
Debatable what is web 2.0, e.g. RSS (yes?), ebooks (no?), annotations (yes?) => work to do

Note: focus on primary purpose of each tech, e.g.wiki’s can have forums to support comms… but not defining character

Conclusions for CPD
Taxonomy answers basic questions provides structure for reflection identifies areas for development => content=ref, comms=msgs => student plans content focussedCreating content/comms
work in progress
![Page 26: Categorising Web 2.0 Apps for Education](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062615/548f636db47959435b8b48b5/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Conclusions for Practice
Invest more time in fewer things
Design learning, select technologies
Convergence will blur the picture

Application to Learning Theories
Objectivism• objective knowledge => content (creation of true
models of reality/knowledge by authorities)• transmission => comms (teacher-learner interact)
Constructivism• constructed knowledge => content (creation of
personal/shared knowledge by learner)• collaborative => comms ("effective", high content)• active => content (engage with/apply to)
![Page 29: Categorising Web 2.0 Apps for Education](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062615/548f636db47959435b8b48b5/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Application to Learning Theories
Community of Inquiry• social presence => comms (low content)• teaching presence => content (structure)• cognitive presence => high content needed to
"construct meaning through sustained comms"
Community of Practice• domain of practice => content• community to share/discuss/challenge => comms
