This title comes from an article in the Australian last weekend. Technology is changing the way we learn, the way our students learn, and it must have that effect too on the way we teach. It is interesting to read what the first teacher interviewed for this article says:
an initial steep learning curve is followed […]
This is a call from a colleague, KerryJ, whose blog is here. KerryJ produces edna’s e-learning Insights. Her last Vox Pop production was all about why people write blogs.
Please promote this to your networks as appropriate:
E-learning Insights Vox Pop 2: Social media – balancing the risks and opportunities
Calling teachers, principals and administrators -it’s time your […]

One of the speakers, Don Tapscott, says, when asked what they were doing online, people were given 4 choices:
Working
Learning
Collaborating
or having fun?
The people being asked the question said the choices weren’t real - because they were all one and the same thing.

To blog or not to blog is the question the current issue that edna’s e-learning insights is focussing on. The producer, Kerry Johnson, reports that the result of a recent Blogging Vox Pop was a rich cross-section of view points from educators across sectors and nation wide.

One of the nice things about being back at work at this time of the year in Australia, before schools, Unis and TAFEs resume, is that I get to look a bit more closely at some of the information coming across my desk, read those incoming blogs a bit more assiduously, and even follow up some […]
In August 1995 Lindy McKeown, on behalf of the oz-TeacherNet Project at Queensland University of Technology, announced a new service for Australian teachers - an email discussion list to be called oz-teachers.
The oz-teachers list has been established in response to numerous requests for a national list to collect Australian teachers in one ‘place’ and to […]
I’m still thinking my way through the Pew/Internet research Digital Footprints (pdf). The report discusses how the advent of Web2.0 has changed the nature of personal information. In the past most of the searchable information related to web pages, published papers, and email postings. Now our public comments on blogs and discussion groups are archived, […]
A recent article from Pew/Internet about online identity management called Digital Footprints (pdf) really hits the mark for me. Their research found that while internet users are becoming more aware of their digital footprint, few actually monitor their online presence with great regularity.
