Podcasting, Wikis and Blogs: Learning at the BBC

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Nigel Paine[Edit][Delete]: Podcasting, Wikis and Blogs: Learning at the BBC, AmbientPerformance [Edit][Delete] August 2, 2006
Online video with slides presented by Nigel Paine, Head of BBC Learning and Development. After you gt through the introductory material on podcasting, wikis and blogs, you'll hear Paine talk about informal learning. The idea, he says, is to move learning from being something that requires specialized knowledge and specialized people to something we do all the time every day (something I've certainly endorsed in these pages).

TEDTalks: Nicholas Negroponte

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Nicholas Negroponte[Edit][Delete]: TEDTalks: Nicholas Negroponte, TED [Edit][Delete] August 2, 2006
Were you taught to walk? Were you taught to talk? Maybe a little, but you mostly learned this stuff - along with everything else, up to the age of six - without the aid of a teacher. But the internet is changing that, allowing us to interact with the world in new ways, and thus to learn on our own. That's the premise behind the $100 computer, described in this TED lecture by Nicholas Negroponte, just released online. "These kids, their very first word is 'Google', and they only know Skype, they've never heard of telephony."
I like the initiative but I think it could really be sold without the arrogance. Here's Negroponte again: "This is not something that you have to test, the days of pilot projects are over. When people say, 'Well we'd like to do three or four thousand in our country to see if it works,' screw you, go to the back of the line and someone else will do it and then when you figure out that this works then you can join as well." Laughter and applause from the audience at Monterey, California. More...

According to this post, "VET plays a critical role as the entry point to learning and builds considerable social and other forms of capital in regional communities" but "There is a need for a more holistic approach to training, giving consideration to the continuing learning pathway along which an individual may travel, as opposed to focusing on discrete packages and modules".

Corporations, Education, Blogging, What Does it all Mean

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Laura Blanken[Edit][Delete]: Corporations, Education, Blogging, What Does it all Mean, Geeky Mom [Edit][Delete] August 1, 2006[

People were looking for hints on increasing traffic to their blogs, making money blogging, encouraging advertisers. In sessions I attended, and in the buzz around the pool, there was a whole lot of attention paid to getting people to your blogs. Fascinating. More...

History Without Books Gets a Test in US Schools

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Reuters[Edit][Delete]: History Without Books Gets a Test in US Schools, August 1, 2006
Reuters: "What began as a long-shot attempt last year by Pearson Plc to sell California educators digital materials to teach history and politics, collectively known in US schools as social studies, has become reality in what could be the first large-scale step to eliminate books from classrooms." But in order to ensure schools purchase content from commercial publishers, they must be required to use a learning platform that offers only commercial material. Like, say, a system like Blackboard, with which Pearson has a long partnership. Limit the choice of LMS, limit the choice of content. More...
