The Nature of Learning • Digital Delivery • Interest-Driven • Skills 2.0 “What we as adults experienced in school, as educators and students, will bear little resemblance to what lies ahead.” http://blogs.kqed.org/mindshift/2011/02/three-trends-that-will-shape-the-future-of-curriculum/
The advent of the Internet “removes many constraints of space and time [so that] some of the current social patterns that are evident in suburbia or in workplace offices will not be as much in evidence in 2020 as technology reconfigures people’s sense of presence” (Anderson and Rainie, 2010, p. 15).

Context Collapse “Look carefully at a webcam. That’s there. That’s somewhere else. That could be anybody. On the other side of that little glass lens is almost everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you have ever heard of, and even those you have never heard of. In more specific terms, it is everyone who has or will have access to the Internet—billions of potential viewers, and your future self among them. Some have called it at once the biggest and the smallest stage—the most public space in the world, entered from the privacy of our own homes.” - Michael Wesch http://krex.k-state.edu/dspace/bitstream/handle/2097/6302/WeschEME2009.pdf?sequence=1

“I don’t think education is about centralized instruction anymore; rather, it is the process establishing oneself as a node in a broad network of distributed creativity” (Ito, 2011, p. D9). Ito, J.

So what can we do about it NOW? • Blogging/Tweeting in ECS210 • Connecting with others • Building our own positive, digital identities
How might the changing nature of learning and the increased prevalence of technology be related to social justice and anti-oppressive education? What is made possible/impossible by these tools and this type of learning?
