Flexibel learning flexibel teaching

The fourth week under the topic flexible learning makes me associate flexible learning with flexible teaching. Let us work smarter and go back to discussion-based learning. Lectures can be recorded, flipped classrooms. Time can be spent on discussions with the help of twitter in the "lecture time," or other  technical aids. Perhaps the small group discussions, peer evaluation, evaluation of other students. And why would a teacher lecture, a topic more than once? Let students learn critical thinking, problem solving, creativity, originality, planning with the help of teamwork, problem-based learning using social media and the Internets all  facilities. 

Universities are unique learning isntitutions. Let us look forward to the diversification of teaching methods. Let freedom give the width, let the amount of students and the width of the students drive the process. Must courses be planned in detail ?- why not solve the course objectives with the support of the students during the course? Let the goals of the course  be the goals for the students to come up with the how to - be up to the students to solve in interaction with the teacher.  Use mentimeter to democratic discuss and decide how to ? Or maybe not . Maybe it will not work - but I would like to try.

WOW ;) My learning will change my teaching

Today I made a pedagogical turnover. The webinar on Friday made me think, during the weekend I thought a lot about what I am doing and not doing. So today I have taken a decision  - my students will be active om Wikipedia .
The course begins the 30:th of Mars and they will be writing their first ? wiki in April. Really fun, to make a course visible , to make the students visible, they will learn a lot that takes hour and hours in teaching about source critic, licenses, ,,,

To push student in to be citizens in internet. I will learn and they will too.
There is a lot to think about - like what can you write (ethics,badmouthing) - And to be aware about the consequence, about source criticism (Watson.A.M, Lopiano.R.G, 2016) It is  a bit scary  -What will happen when I let 50 students, handle 50 pages ?

Videos from David White about Digital litteracy

Knowledge as private information shared with a very small number of people. Or knowledge as debate, as twitter, free for everybody. What difference does it all make? When anyone can spread thoughts to anyone who want to listen ? Will there be a black market of information/knowledge. So what will happen with academia when knowledge is free online?

A lot of questions arises:  Is it legitimate to discuss my thought? What will happen if I spread my thoughts to anyone who listens? Is Academia for the privileged ? institutions or individuals?

Recommended:  videos from David White on youtube, they are interesting and easy to follow.

What do we expect of our students to know about the internet ? How should I use internet ?

Digital literacy  -  a kind of power. 

Digital literacy will probably be of great value for health, According to  Antonowsky,  sense of coherence, is  most important  for health (Antonowsky, 2005).  Digital Literacy might give a "sence of coherens" Digital literacy gives an opportunity to be social, find friends, a way of belonging, of beeing seen. And maybe Digital literacy will  give social status, making you visible, giving value. Digital literacy in earning money  like som bloggers do, they live on digital literacy. Digital literacy might it be seen as some kind of Marketing ? Marketplace for your Identity - as you want to bee seen. Giving your footprints.

 Digital literacy and health is already here - Like in E-health, internet for elderly and sick. And now Digital literacy för students and their teachers. You might think ,,knowledge whats that ?

Knowledge as private information shared with a very small number of people. Or knowledge as debate, as twitter, free for everybody. What difference does it all make?

guess I m on a journey

WOW, guess I'm on a journey.  I am a visiter on the internet!. If I stay long and get familiar with the surroundings , I might be recident. I dont really grasp the point in beeing recident. Maybe becaouse I have lived on  without even knowing that i trip to web was possible. And there is no Ads about going resident on internet. Whats In it for me? I wonder. I saw on You tube something that made me think - take a look at David White: Visitors and residents (part 1) http://youtu.be/sPOG3iThmRI   

I will have to se more of David White, and to think about  " What will the world look like when  everybody is resident?" but now I'll walk the dog.

About my first Twitter meeting

Twitter meeting, is it really possible to have a twitter meeting from my place on earth , the middle of nowhere in Småland ??. YES it is, it was amazing that I could write short and consistent (as I am eager to say to my own student - be consistent! ) We had a Discussion , me and about seven of my PBL group participaters.

A twitter meeting is like an organized chat, where we had booked a time and day and all went there to the #ONL161 . We discussed together and sent messages as private comments. Participators from all around the globe :)  It made me feel as member of the future. I guess I wont tweet, not yet anyhow, but as a tool it is amazing.

And this morning the birds outside my window agreed , saying tweet, tweet, tweet :)
