“Web 2.0 tools exist that might allow academics to reflect and reimagine what they do as scholars. Such tools might

positively affect -- even transform - research, teaching, and service responsibilities - only if scholars choose to

build serious academic lives online, presenting semi-public selves and becoming invested in and connected to the work of their peers and students.” (Greenhow,

Robelia, & Hughes, 2009)

• “Ten years ago, not one student in a hundred, nay, one in a thousand, could have produced videos like this. Itʼs a whole new skill, a vital and important skill, and one utterly necessary not simply from the perspective of creating but also of comprehending video communication today.

So Why Not Education?

with people and information, and communicating in such a way as to

support one anotherʼs learning.” (Wikipedia)

What We Learned & Why It Matters to YOUR Courses

• Open access, low-cost, high impact.

• Courses become shared, non-local, learning events.

• Students immersed in a greater learning community.

• Rethinking of space/interaction (walled gardens, open spaces)

• Learning spaces controlled and/or owned by students.

• Development of emerging literacies, relevant for other courses.

• Pedagogy focused more on connecting & interactions; content important, but secondary.

• Development of sustainable, long-term, learning connections.

Page 93: Knock Down the Walls: Designing for Open & Networked Learning

“I was able to go out and learn throughout the entire week, the entire year, and Iʼm still

learning with everyone.”

“The best part of the course is that itʼs not ending. With the connections weʼve built, it

never has to end.”

Page 94: Knock Down the Walls: Designing for Open & Networked Learning

“The course ... has been the most profound pd experience Iʼve ever had. It forced me to critique & review my practice. I never knew how important social networks

were. Now, I couldnʼt be a teacher without being connected. Itʼs drastically changed my view of education.”
