As an example of what I mean by mindset and informal learning in the previous post, I’m going to give a few examples in a series of articles on how people are joining up to create new and exciting practice and spaces in and outside education like never before.
Informal/ Formal Real Life and Virtual Connections
Practitioners are now connected by several informal networks that enable them to share resources at a blistering speed and to distill and innovate what they do in highly interactive ways; and the ways they are joining up these Personal Learning Networks to do all the heavy lifting in 21st Century education is quite breathtaking. The teachers, researchers and consultants involved are plumbed into a system of Web 2.0 apps often by mobile phone, laptops and handheld devices, but forget the tech, think communication and transformation.
Their mindset is exactly the same mindset of developers and business startups in the “real world” – but get this, the spaces they all inhabit are highly ad hoc, often virtual-to-real learning spaces and vice versa, and they are joining up at a faster and faster rate.
People who populate these spaces, are engaged in immersive interactive learning, whether they be in business, academia or teaching, and they seem to share much of the same vision – they speak the same language and they are doing quite amazing things. A new Digital Culture is evolving.
None of them have had any training – they simply share, use and do and then remix again and it is in a completely flat digital landscape where hierarchies get you nowhere but your individual value to the group does. Try not engaging or sharing and you’ll soon find yourself Billy no mates. The environment is collaborative – sure people lurk and suck in info without giving out but they are missing out on all the fun!
Last week I attended the Handheld Learning Conference 08 but I never went there in person. I was following the backchannel on Twitter and if you don’t know what Twitter is then read and listen to Martin Weller’s wonderful slideshare presentation. I made a few predictions back in May of last year and some of them are certainly coming true.
