What is enabling this to happen?
• Computer power• Moore’s Law• Cloud computing• From =1 HB to =60 Billion in less than 30 years
• Convergence - smaller, lighter, more powerful and ultimately mobile devices
• Enabling computers to understand and connect the data
• Semantics not syntax

What are the implications for education & training?• Digital natives and digital immigrants
• And now the “always on” generation
• Technology as the first choice for • information, • research and • social contact
• Google, text and IM are all verbs
US survey of 800,000 children• 23% are connected to people nationally• 17% are connected to people in other
countries• 1/3 have friends they have never met face
to face• 100% connect with others each time they
log on• 70% check IM first when they turn on their
computer.

Collective Intelligence“We are smarter than me”
• News is not generated only by corporations – Tibet, Burma crisis, New Orleans
• World wide opinion – and pressure on governments and organisations
• Virtual research communities – Frog Watch
Are they really technologically smart?• Research indicates many are not
sophisticated users
• Need guidance to develop critical skills of analysis and synthesis
• Not every thing on the web is accurate or a good idea.
Emphasis on communication, games, social networking

Are educators ready?
• Still a large percentage who do not engage
• Advocates exist across all age groups
• Technical skills are important especially at the teaching and middle management level
• People skills are critical at every level
Why doesn’t the boss understand?
Technology Changes Quickly But Education Changes Slowly
Stephen Ehrmann
• Technology “rapture”
• Forgetting about the “other stuff”
• The “bleeding edge” is un-supported
• It takes time to adopt and adapt
Each new technology increases the choices available.
Ehrmann, Stephen C Technology changes quickly … http://www.tltgroup.org/visions/Outcomes.html
Have a long term strategic direction …• Adopt technologies that will progress and
that add value
• Focus on what can easily, inexpensively and quickly be adapted and shared by educators
• Establish teaching, learning and technology communities
Working towards Web 3.0
• Use collaboration to solve problems and create solutions
• Create and share content – develop insights into what can be achieved
• Ask: What is authentic and valuable when everything can be copied and modified?
• What are the real skills to be learnt?
And when all data is accessible – and computers can make the connections -what impact might it have on simple day to day tasks … like ordering a pizza?
