3. 1 : 1 h"ps://www.ickr.com/photos/zzpza/3269784239/

4. North America is jealous

5. But also terried

6. Pedagogy ^ Technology h"ps://www.ickr.com/photos/lendingmemo/11698092654/

7. NETWORK EDUCATION Information Abundance: context New Ethos: pedagogical approach Literacies: goal(s)

8. Context

9. What is education for?

10. We cannot talk about education without talking about literacies

11. Literacy, 400 BCE = Threat to Knowledge

12. Literacy, 1500 CE = Control of Knowledge

13. Literacies, 2014 BCE = Management & Synthesis of Knowledge

14. Information Abundance h"ps://www.ickr.com/photos/oakleyoriginals/4142641838/

15. Structure of Abundance = Networks

16. To network education is to model the literacies for making sense & contributing knowledge within information abundance.

17. but abundance can become overload. h"p://www.ickr.com/photos/striaDc/2191408271/

18. Its not information overload, its lter failure. - Clay Shirky, 2008 h"p://www.ickr.com/photos/shadowplanet/4750073771/ FINE THEN.

19. Traditional Media Literacy Filters = Judgment, Analysis, Critical Thinking h"p://ezasseenontv.com/tag/as-seen-on-tv-store/

20. But those are no longer sucient. Not all media & information is coming from institutions - or via broadcast - any longer.

21. h"ps://www.ickr.com/photos/ooohoooh/1350774613/ Networks are not just for consuming, but connecting.

22. Literate network citizens need to be able to lter AND contribute within the constant, intermeshed streams of abundance, without drowning.

23. Oh Good. Easy. J

24. hahahahahaha

25. Challenges of 1:1? #NetworkEdLin

26. Pedagogical Approach

27. Technologies do not necessarily change the ways we approach learning h"p://www.onlineuniversiDes.com/blog/2012/08/teaching-with-tablets/

28. Networks are not about online/oine

29. New tech + old approaches new literacies

30. New literacies = New ethos What is central to new literacies is not the fact that we can now look up information online or write essays using a word processor rather than a penbut rather, that they mobilize very dierent kinds of values and priorities and sensibilities. - Knobel & Lankshear (2007)

31. Network Pedagogies Learner-driven Participatory Dierentiated Experiential

32. (sometimes you dont even need tech) h"p://nccscurriculum.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/gh.png

33. Goal(s)

34. Waitwhat about standards? And measurement? h"ps://www.ickr.com/photos/spacesuitcatalyst/536389937/

35. A networked education l Connects l Cultivates l Curates h"p://www.ickr.com/photos/gforsythe/7153872159/

36. but cannot control or count in the same ways as institutional models of education

37. New Ethos Literacy = Attention

38. New Ethos Literacy = Contribution

39. New Ethos Literacy = Connection

40. New Ethos Literacy = Collaboration

41. New Ethos Literacy = Critical Consumption

42. Pedagogical Dierences Institutions product-focused mastery bounded by time/space hierarchical ties plagiarism authority in role audience = teacher Networks process-focused participation always accessible peer-to-peer ties crowdsourcing authority in reputation audience = world

43. Orthe short form:

44. But.

45. Dont assume networks are inherently equalizing

46. Last Word: Practice what you teach.

47. Thank you. @bonstewart bstewart@upei.ca
