17. THE BIG IMPLICATION Is LITERACY being transformed ( 3 R’s are now 4 C’s) Is the entire system being transformed Built on linear knowledge Held by hierarchical structures Institutionalized Basis for the framework of OUR system Schools Pedagogy Policy

18. A NEW SYSTEM A Hypothesis All learning is SOCIAL and is being constantly changed by technological advances. Origins of this Idea Development of Alphabet ended oral tradition and started the literate era Printing press ended Scholastic era and developed era of Mass literacy in the cultural vernacular Social Media ended the literate era and is creating the post literate era What do you think?

19. AN ERA OF SOCIAL PRODUCTION Some facts 2008 Google engineers announced their were 1 trillion unique URLS (web addresses) Several billion webpages being added everyday So what causes this rate of creating, copying, mixing and remixing of information Social Production What is powering this trend Web 2.0 which means the cost of publishing information is almost ZERO

20. AN ERA OF SOCIAL PRODUCTION The notion of literary authority has changed in the last five years Debate: Wikipedia vs Encyclopedia Britannica

21. AN ERA OF SOCIAL PRODUCTION What do you think about this quote “Are students improving their ability to think critically, to express them selves and to develop useable literacies by participating” How are they going to do it

22. AN ERA OF SOCIAL PRODUCTION Key Idea: Students no longer are just consumers of content. They create it and the rate of construction is rapidly increasing How can you facilitate this in your context? Key Idea: Knowledge is no longer categorized and organized by experts it is done by everyone It is called Digital Disorder

25. AN ERA OF SOCIAL PRODUCTION The development of Learning will be more active Everyone will participate Mash ups Crowd sourcing Class sourcing Open Source Learning We are going back to the future – apprentice model – learn by doing Everything online is Socially Produced You will teach Socially Produced knowledge in a Socially Produced setting

26. AN ERA OF SOCIAL PRODUCTION Some more proof you say! Social Production has exploded since 2000 Powered by two main forces the Blog and Wiki Now we also have Apps, what else is on the Horizon? Digital Social Networking is part of being U20 Digital Natives compared to Digital Immigrants compared to Digital… shall we say

27. THE SOCIAL NETWORK Social Production via Social Networking will be the biggest game changer of our generation It will reshape Learning and Teaching What it means to be educated The concept of Educational Identity The flux has begun, you are part of it, we don’t really understand it We have a real problem with the short cycle of innovation and change (The semantic web is here, what about media grids) My brain hurts just thinking about it!

28. THE SOCIAL NETWORK The traditional learning community is the… School/Centre Identity is formed through its systems, culture, values “I am a NZer, I am a Grammar Boy”

29. THE SOCIAL NETWORK How are online communities going to influence learning Organic Global Internet based – places for family, cultures, sub cultures, all sorts of ideas that shape self identity “I am an individual, I have my own system” Result: We are going to see the emergence of New Learning Identities

30. THE SOCIAL NETWORK Did I mention… Social Networks are constantly changing The focus needs to be relationships rather than technology

31. THE SOCIAL NETWORK So what does this mean for national standards or any form of testing for that matter Will social networking and production make it redundant Could the disengaged class students be a highly engaged learner in another space. Risks Risks Risks (it would be rude not to mention them) Privacy Safety Humanistic complementarity Questions for the Christian Educator Is the social production of knowledge a Christian principle What does the Bible say about Social Networks PHDS please!!!
