NECC Vol 5 – Ian Jukes
Ian Jukes is a researcher and presenter I have wantde to meet. His paper on Digitial Children is one I have read and enjoyed. It even warrants a page on my wiki. So I must admit I was looking forwarded to Ian session today….
….and I was not disappointed.
At about a million miles per hour, Ian presented a brilliant and witty session on Understanding Digital learners – learning in a digital Landscape.
The session was based around 7 key changes that are required to move into the 21st Century and to teach the digital natives.
- Teachers need time to catch up – Essentially taechers need to be given time to play and learn
- Moving beyond 20th C Literacies to 21st C Fluencies
- Changing our instructional approach
- Allowing the students to collaborate
- Allow students to access information natively – using their tools of choice and recreation.
- Let students create real time, real problem digital products/solutions – real rich problems
- reassess evaluation and assessment
ian didn’t say throw out all of our old practice rather keep those aspects that are good, but remove the rest.
Here is the mind map:
