How is it different?• Very fast – almost instant – sharing of audio, text and
images.• Much more data stored in smaller spaces.• Visual data are more prominent.• Global access – few restrictions to communication across
the world.• 24/7 – not restricted to 9-to-5 on weekdays ‘school’ or
‘working’ hours.• Anyone can publish – not just the ‘experts’.• Many more opportunities to find people of similar
interests.• Self-directed – not dictated by the producer.

Today’s Learners are:
• Multi-taskers• Digitally literate• Mobile and connected 24/7• Experiential • Social• Visual/spatial learners• Fast response times, short attention spans

What do you really ‘suck’ at?
• Competitive sports?• Organizing photos into albums?• Making a pavlova?
Why? • Is it something you have never been ‘taught’?• Is it something you have no interest in?• You have never had the need to know how?
![Page 27: Digital toolbox conasta_2013](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110306/554e60a3b4c905b2178b52e1/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
What are the rules for Learning?
• No talking?• No use of technology? • Time limits?• Groups chosen for students?• Specific product required?• Is there access to ‘experts’?
![Page 28: Digital toolbox conasta_2013](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110306/554e60a3b4c905b2178b52e1/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
What does this mean for teaching and learning?
• Teachers are no longer the “font of all knowledge”.• Students don’t need to memorize facts.• Questions shouldn’t be easily ‘googled’.• Instead of rote learning; analysis, evaluation inquiry,
problem-solving and creation should be the focus. • Students need to be taught to evaluate the
reliability of information.• Opportunities for peer collaboration with like-minds
– “Collective Knowledge Construction”

CKC Model
• Connect – “Too Big to know” • Communicate – “The World is our sounding
board”• Collaborate – “Diversity trumps curation”• Learn Collectively – “Purpose binds us”

Practical considerations
• Technology does not replace experiments• Does every student have access to devices?• Does every student have internet access?• Preferred learning styles?• Concentration span – mix it up!• Plan B and Plan C• Best tool for the job of learning
