What is knowledge?
Traditionally, knowledge is regarded as being content-specific
![Page 6: Moderns 2.0: A P.A. Day Well Spent!](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062701/553a4eb54a79598e758b4ad9/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Paradigm Shift…
• Learning is a collaborative, social endeavour.
![Page 7: Moderns 2.0: A P.A. Day Well Spent!](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062701/553a4eb54a79598e758b4ad9/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
This was revolutionary…
• Efficient and uniform dissemination of knowledge
• Fueled scientific, political and social change on a scale unlike any other invention in history
![Page 8: Moderns 2.0: A P.A. Day Well Spent!](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062701/553a4eb54a79598e758b4ad9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Today’s Revolution…
• Social affiliations and networking
• Being online vs. going online
• The web as an application platform
• Digital self-expression; defining and claiming of one’s voice
• Old knowledge reinvented and made relevant for new viewers and listeners
![Page 9: Moderns 2.0: A P.A. Day Well Spent!](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062701/553a4eb54a79598e758b4ad9/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Specialized Language

The “Read-Write” Web… Huh?
• Contributing, collaborating, creating
• Internet as a extension of the computer desktop
• Not only a source of reading for research or pleasure
• “Publishing” of creative pieces – written or visual

Putting This into Context: April 2009

Consider this…
• Recent research has revealed that students, in the span of a typical semester, will generate approximately 42 pages worth of work for all classes, whereas they will produce in excess of 500 pages in email and text messages.

blogs and cell phones– Academically diverse– Consumed by extra-curricular activities; competitive– Thrive in group settings– Tinkerers– Ethnically and racially diverse

BLOGS
Blogs are powerful communication tools. Blogs are powerful publishing tools.
But blogging (the verb) is still much more than
that to me.
Blogging, as in reading and thinking and then
writing, is connecting and learning.
Will Richardson 2006

Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy Supported by Web 2.0 Applications
Notice anything different about THIS taxonomy?

To think about …
The aim of the Core French program is to provide students with fundamental communication skills in French and an understanding of the nature of the language and its culture. Ministry of Education p.2
![Page 31: Moderns 2.0: A P.A. Day Well Spent!](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062701/553a4eb54a79598e758b4ad9/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
What it’s REALLY all about …
It’s not about creating a blog, it’s about expressing your own ideas and beliefs clearly.
It’s not about using Delicious, it’s about developing a system to keep up with your stuff and to share your stuff.
It’s not about Skype, it’s about understanding how to communicate globally in a video setting or via chat/conversation.
And it’s not about making an Animoto slide show, it’s about having a good sense of design or telling a story.
It’s not about learning to use the software, it’s about the skills our students will carry with them that these tools and others like them allow. It’s about our students expressing themselves clearly, beautifully, and skillfully.
And that’s what we should be teaching them. And that’s what we should be fighting for.
