Literacies for the digital age: Financial literacy

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Literacies for the digital age: Financial literacy
Kathy Schrock, Discovery Education: Kathy's Klatch, 2014/09/03
OK, what is a literacy, exactly? I ask because Kathy Schrock offers a whole list of literacies, ranging from financial literacy to digital literacy to civic literacy - and then proceeds to outline some. And that's where I begin to get uncomfortable, as it seems 'literacy' on this model is really just a collection of life lessons. More...

School Should Be More Like Camp

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. School Should Be More Like Camp
Jackie Gerstein, User Generated Education, 2014/09/03
This seems so intuitive, and my own experiences at camp were deeply influential on me. So I want to be more like Jackie Gerstein and say "promote the idea that school should be more like camp." And there's so much about camp I love. But.... but.... at camp, relationships are primary (says the chart) but at the camps I went to, relationships were sometimes abusive and occasionally violent.

Learning Analytics and Ethics: A Framework beyond Utilitarianism

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Learning Analytics and Ethics: A Framework beyond Utilitarianism
James E. Willis, III, EDUCAUSE Review, 2014/09/03
This is an unfortunately superficial treatment of ethics as it relates to big data analysis. The title itself ("Beyond utilitarianism...") treats an entire family of theories as though they were one - but there is a world of difference between (say) act utilitarianism and rule utilitarianism (it's like the author never read Mill on the subject).

Why Psychologists’ Food Fight Matters

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Why Psychologists’ Food Fight Matters
Michelle N. Meyer, Christopher Chabris, Slate, 2014/09/03
"Kids are spending more time than ever in front of screens, and it may be inhibiting their ability to recognize emotions." Oh Noes! But it says so in a study published in the journal Computers in Human Behavior. Should we even take note of this? Probably not. More...

Using Webb's Depth of Knowledge to Increase Rigor

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Using Webb's Depth of Knowledge to Increase Rigor
Gerald Aungst, Edutopia, 2014/09/11
Just another example of a case in education research where a pointless taxonomy is developed and named after someone (one wonders how far education would advance if this practice were no longer allowed). More...

The Challenges (and Future) of Networked Learning

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. The Challenges (and Future) of Networked Learning
Stephen Downes, [Sept] 05, 2014, , Online, to Medellin, Colombia, via Vidyo
A conversation about challenges (and future?) of networked learning. A broad understanding of the meaning and potential of networked learning can help educational institutions to rethink their role beyond the provision of LMS and centralized information systems. What skills are needed? What happens if we don't develop them? What kind of technology supports the development of said skills? What’s the relation between this and issues of information property and citizenship in a digital context (POSSE models, Indie web movement)? [Link] [Slides] [Audio]. More...
