- Hello – I hope you’re well… and it’s a real pleasure to be here with you… Today the talk is about using technology in today’s classroom … but technology is not just about the interactive whiteboard or the apps that you can find and use. Technology is also about the serendipitous encounters and my brief talk today is to introduce you to these chance encounters – which we call connectivism, in the digital world. And now for the activity I ask you to stand up, and find a partner. Introduce yourselves and make a list of 5-10 things that you have in common with each other: where you went to school, year you were born, number of years with the company, food likes, sports likes, etc. Once you have completed your first list, you must find someone else in the room that also has one of those 5-10 things in common with you. When you have found that person, repeat step one with them and develop a new list. Repeat step two. Continue until you have met five other people.
- So we start with serendipity – while learning can happen by accident, it is not accidental. We can design learning experiences, to plan for these ‘chance encounters’ – the opportunity to find something good without necessarily looking for it. But how does technology feature in it? Our changing world, and our changing landscape, helps these encounters by providing opportunities for establishing connections.
- So let’s start with the position of a teacher…
- And move over to the position of the learner
- In this digital era…
