Perhaps Our Kids Really Are Smarter Than We Were: Technology and E-Learning

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Susan Smith Nash[Edit][Delete]: Perhaps Our Kids Really Are Smarter Than We Were: Technology and E-Learning, E-Learning Queen [Edit][Delete] May 31, 2006

Facinating reflection and podcast on the question posed in the title. "We're smarter than your generation, Mom," he said. "Weâx^TMve moved beyond that. We evolved." Is it true? Could the younger generation be smarter? I think that there's no question that they're different, that they have adapted to the new environment. That doesn't make them smarter. But it does make them more adept. More...

Working Very Hard, Very Hard Work

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Christopher D. Sessums[Edit][Delete]: Working Very Hard, Very Hard Work, Christopher D. Sessums : Weblog [Edit][Delete] May 30, 2006

The question came up in conversation today, and I confess, I believe that the revolution in education will take place (is taking place) outside the system. This author disagrees. "Protesting the war by waving placards has some effect, but protesting the war by enlisting and laying down your arms or finding ways to derail the machine from within would seem a bit more effective..." Maybe. More...

Blog Tales

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Miguel Guhlin[Edit][Delete]: Blog Tales, MGuhlin.net [Edit][Delete] May 30, 2006

I thought about including 'MySpace: The Movie' in today's presentation, but decided it might be a bit too much. This link may also fall into that category, but you can get the gist from this quote: "Dependency and fear retard the learning process. It is difficult, if not impossible, for students to develop moral values and solve ethical dilemmas when school never allows them to make a decision or mistake. More...

Supporting Learning Through Electronic Portfolios

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Phil Abrami, et.al.[Edit][Delete]: Supporting Learning Through Electronic Portfolios, CIDER [Edit][Delete] May 29, 2006

This is an interesting PowerPoint presentation describing an e-portfolio project being conducted by the Centre for the Study of Learning and Performance. The project design is based on a self-reflection model consisting of three major steps: forethought, performance, self-reflection (and then back to forethought again, to continue the cycle). Numerous screen shots; good explanation. More...

One man's Net

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Jay Cross[Edit][Delete]: One man's Net, Internet Time [Edit][Delete] May 29, 2006

Small world. Jay Cross links to a 2002 essay by Wes Cooper, Information Technology and Internet Culture, which, drawing on Turkle, depicts the internet as an instrument for the creation of identities and of cultures. That's why the first paragraph is particularly appropriate for this paper, describing as it does the many ways of naming ~~God~~ the internet. More...

Deconstructing the MySpace Threat

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Will Richardson[Edit][Delete]: Deconstructing the MySpace Threat, Weblogg-Ed [Edit][Delete]Weblogg-ed [Edit][Delete] May 29, 2006

Good post linking to and summarizing an interview with Danah Boyd and Henry Jenkins on the subject of MySpace. Note the consistency of theme regarding culture and identity with Wes Cooper's paper (below). "As a society, we are at a moment of transition when the most important social relationships may no longer be restricted to those we conduct face to face with people in our own immediate surroundings but may also include a large number of relationships which are conducted over vast geographic distances.

Toronto at CAUCE 2006

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Stephen Downes[Edit][Delete]: Toronto at CAUCE 2006, May 29, 2006

This photo is from my most recent set, Toronto 2006. I am at the 2006 CAUCE conference in Toronto where I will be giving a talk tomorrow afternoon. Then, tomorrow evening, I will be flying overnight to Britain, where I will be at blog.ac.uk conference, where I will be wrapping up with the closing keynote. After that I will be to Milton Keynes for a talk at the Open University, then to Manchester to join in a meeting on Personal Learning Environments. I am then in Innsbruck, Austria for the Microlearning conference. Finally, I will be visiting Vienna as a guest of the Centre for Social Innovation. My thanks to Colette for all her assistance arranging this trip, one that has changed quite a bit from its original plan, and to the organizers from the different centres, who have been helpful and considerate.

Learning Platform Functional Requirements

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Miles Berry[Edit][Delete]: Learning Platform Functional Requirements, Miles Berry : Weblog [Edit][Delete] May 26, 2006

Commentary and link to BECTA's newly released learning platform functional requirements. Although sounding criticial at first ("I think we'd have seen a very different document if Becta had worked from the ground up, asking pupils, teachers and schools what sort of functionality they'd like to see in learning platforms, rather than the top down") the author notes the BECTA appears to have listened to Moodle and open source advocates.

Controversy About Our Web 2.0 Service Mark

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Brady Forrest[Edit][Delete]: Controversy About Our Web 2.0 Service Mark, May 26, 2006

O'Reilly has long been heralded as a leading advocate of the open source ethos. But that reputation is under seige today. In a story that began here and spead into Tim O'Reilly's blog here (where you can find my own response) it was revealed that O'Reilly is trying to enforce ownership of 'Web 2.0' as a service mark (at least for conferences). While I held out hope that it was all a mistake, their eventual admission has brought down the wrath of the blogosphere. And rightly so. As Mark Oehlert writes, "The sense of betrayal from this community is palpable". More...

Podcast Lectures for Uni Students

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Unattributed[Edit][Delete]: Podcast Lectures for Uni Students, BBC News [Edit][Delete] May 26, 2006

As the story explains, "A lecturer at a West Yorkshire university has abolished traditional lectures in favour of podcasts." The professor argues that "the move would better suit the needs of distance learners, part-time students and those balancing studies with family and work." and that "Some lecture classes have 250 students, so I question the effectiveness of a didactic lecture for an hour".
