Mobile Learning on the road
Eine bemerkenswert hochwertige Reihe (sowohl hinsichtlich Interviewpartner, technischer Realisierung als auch thematisch) von kurzen Videodokumentationen erstellt aktuell das Mobile Learning Institut unter dem Obertitel “A 21st Century Education“:
In the 21st century, the most perceptive educational thinkers recognize that something new is happening to learning. Models of providing an education that developed to meet the needs of students of the last two centuries, while not irrelevant, are increasingly being transformed and infiltrated by the introduction and integration of new tools and technologies, and novel approaches to work, many of which are now commonplace in business and consumer spheres. Blogging, wikis, twittering and Facebook, the widespread use of mobile devices like cell phones and other handhelds, the emphasis on collaboration and critical thinking to solve problems, and the “flattening” of the world of commerce are challenging the fundamental assumptions of what an education must provide to its young people in order for them to succeed or even cope in a complex world.
Die Filme sind allesamt durchaus sehenswert. Besonders aufgefallen ist mir aber der Beitrag von Elliot Soloway und Cathie Norris zu “Education the Mobile Generation“ (zum Abspielen Bild anklicken):
