Teacher research

• Divided about their aptitude vs. students• Tech makes students fundamentally different
now in capacities and learning styles• Tech has good/bad impacts on students’ lives

What is the future of learning/knowledge?-- Shana Ratner (1997) “Emerging Issues in Learning Communities”
New: Learning as a process
Knowledge is objective and
certain
Old: Learning as transaction
Knowledge is subjective and
provisional
New: Learning as a process
Learners receive knowledge
Old: Learning as transaction
Learners create knowledge
What is the future of learning/knowledge?-- Shana Ratner (1997) “Emerging Issues in Learning Communities”
New: Learning as a process
Knowledge is organized in stable, hierarchical
structures that can be treated
independently of one another
Old: Learning as transaction
Knowledge is organized “ecologically”-disciplines are integrative and
interactive
What is the future of learning/knowledge?-- Shana Ratner (1997) “Emerging Issues in Learning Communities”
New: Learning as a process
Our “intelligence” is based on our
individual abilities
Old: Learning as transaction
Our “intelligence” is based on our
learning communities

• Sebastian Thrun and Peter Norvig • Google X, a lab created to incubate the company’s
most ambitious and secretive projects. He was also free to pursue outside ventures.
• In a few slides, he’d spelled out the nine essential components of a university education: admissions, lectures, peer interaction, professor interaction, problem-solving, assignments, exams, deadlines, and certification.
