CoLearners

They call this the “fishbowl”

It is a pleasure to be back in Edmonton and an honor to have been invited back.  We are all struggling to rethink teaching, learning, and education; but few are as dedicated and at all levels as the province of Alberta and the city of Edmonton.

Egaging our students is a huge challenge, and for no small account, because it is difficult to define engagement within the context of learning.  I hope to help with this today, by first setting some context for our times and our challengeds and also by suggesting some strategies for helping educators to maintain a learning lifestyle — which I think is critical in a time of rapid change.

Then we will take a critical look at our students and what engages them in their own “native” information experience.  We going to try to crack the native information experience, to identify some of the elements of their video game and social networking activities that make them so compelling, especially as they might be harnessed by educators — especially so that we might hack that code for learning.
