ELearning is often touted as the way to ensure that everyone, irrespective of their geographical location, can participate in education and the learning management system is usually what enables this. The learning management system houses multi-media, assessments of all stripes, resources, wikis and social forums. But what happens when there is no internet? Do those without access have to forgo the opportunities and rich interaction afforded by the learning management system? This presentation, describes a project underway at the University of Southern Queensland to create a version of Moodle that doesnt require internet access. And explores its possible application to a host of alternative contexts and uses.Creating Screen Literacy: Bridging the New Digital Divide

This document discusses the need for 21st century learning models in schools. It notes that schools are disconnected from how students learn outside of school with today's technology. Students' digital lifestyles can undermine social skills and focus while increasing risks like addiction and declining literacy. The document calls for more balance, acknowledging students' digital expertise while helping teachers apply life experiences to guide students. It presents a model for 21st century fluency and lists resources, and asks for feedback on using this model at Dakota Collegiate.Allstudents Techforum

This document introduces mobile literacy (mLiteracy) and how literacy is changing in the digital age. It discusses how pre-literate behaviors like turning pages and holding a book are no longer the only ways to read. It notes that we are living through an epochal time of rapid disruption to reading, literacy, learning and life due to new technologies. Literacy is described as "deictic", meaning it is continually changing as new technologies emerge and new social practices for literacy develop. The document encourages people to access, use, understand, create and share information, as well as to seek out new people and find other ways of learning.Elem staff illuminating_learning

This document discusses how technology can be used effectively in the classroom to engage today's students and prepare them for the future. It notes that students today have grown up with technology and have different learning styles than previous generations. While technology should not be used just for its own sake, the educational system needs to help students think critically and become lifelong learners by sorting through large amounts of information. Successful technology integration in schools requires support from administrators, trained teachers, adequate infrastructure, and ensuring students stay on task.MoblEd10: The State of Mobility

This document summarizes key findings about e-reading from a presentation given to the Camden County Library System Staff. It finds that while printed books still dominate, e-reading is growing rapidly with 21% of Americans having read an e-book in the last year. The availability of e-books and devices that support e-reading has increased, with libraries providing more access to e-content. However, issues remain around the availability of content. The future of reading is uncertain, but print and digital formats may co-exist, with new business models still to be developed.Sharing and collaborating our way out of the storm - Downes

The document discusses rethinking education in the age of technology. It notes that the current education system is moving too slowly compared to technological advances. While technology skeptics exist, the learning environment and how people learn are changing. Classrooms have integrated more technology over the past 10-15 years, going from minimal use to most having interactive whiteboards and student response systems. The authors argue technology should be used as a tool to facilitate learning rather than replace teaching.Reaction

The document discusses how education needs to change to keep up with advancing technology and the faster pace of the modern world. It notes that while classrooms have integrated more technology over the past 10-15 years, the education system itself has not changed radically enough. The authors believe technology is a tool that can facilitate learning rather than replace teachers, and that parents may take a stronger role in education through new innovations. However, increased individualized and online learning could also lead to greater isolation and division between social groups.Opening lecture: Intro to Social Media [UPDATED Jan 2014]![Opening lecture: Intro to Social Media [UPDATED Jan 2014]](https://cdn.slidesharecdn.com/ss_thumbnails/openinglecture-120610044652-phpapp01-thumbnail.jpg?width=560&fit=bounds)

- Education in 1950 focused on reading, writing, arithmetic while in 2050 it may focus more on skills like complex problem solving, creativity, collaboration as knowledge becomes more distributed.
- The purposes of education are debated but may include developing intellect, creating caring citizens, preparing students for the workforce, or some combination.
- Future trends discussed include advances in health, AI, cities, transportation as well as new measures of learning like knowledge creation, systems thinking, cognitive persistence.ICT Discourse Groupings

Kindergartners today will graduate in 2021 and enter a world vastly different than the present. To prepare students for this changing world, schools must shift away from an industrial model and focus on developing 21st century skills like critical thinking, communication, creativity and technology literacy. This involves making students' education more personalized and emphasizing skills like problem solving through hands-on, inquiry-based learning connected to real-world issues. Schools will need to incorporate global topics, civic engagement and environmental awareness across disciplines to ready students for the interconnected challenges of the future.Future Ready?

The purpose of our paper is to share the experiences of DCPLs pilot digital skills project, based in inner city Dublin, and to show that it is possible to establish a digital skills project which is consciously inclusive and can accommodate children and young people with differing learning abilities as well as different socio-economic and cultural backgrounds.
The national strategy Our Public Libraries 2022 emphasises the role that libraries can play in bridging the digital divide in Ireland. Libraries are ideally placed to deliver the necessary digital skills and to access the technology that is imperative for participation in the digital society.
In terms of the outreach activities, we identified the CoderDojo model as being the most suitable method of delivering digital skills to a diverse group on an on-going basis. We work with DEIS schools and community groups, such as those who work with children in direct provision, to recruit participants for whom the experience would be most beneficial and empowering. By providing a familiar space within the area, the aim is to make digital learning accessible and welcoming.
We consciously cultivate a family-friendly environment for our Saturday Dojo, encouraging accompanying parents to make use of the librarys facilities and bring along younger siblings. For our mid-week, Teen Dojo, teens are introduced to project-based work, where outputs include tangible results, which keep teens engaged as what is being learned has real world applications.
Our experience with respect to the learning approaches used and the communities reception to the providing of digital learning opportunities to children in areas with diverse socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds has multiple implications, including what value can be found in self-directed learning with this particular cohort and what benefits that exposing these children to the skills necessary for the future of work can be had.

1. Students now have excellent basic IT skills and can find information on their own, so teachers serve more as guides rather than sole sources of knowledge.
2. Educational environments are becoming more flexible, responsive, and engaging by using technology to deliver knowledge in new ways and accommodate diverse learners' needs and prerequisites.
3. New approaches and skills are required to manage the challenges of an information-driven society where knowledge becomes a primary commodity and source of competitive advantage.Technology in the middle school

Lucy Gray gave a presentation at the Midwest Educational Technology Conference in February 2013 about modernizing education in the 21st century. She discussed how technology and connectivity are changing the world and learning environments. Gray advocated for schools that value intellectual curiosity, empower teachers through professional development, engage students in their learning, use progressive teaching practices including technology, and build authentic communities. While opportunities exist, schools also face challenges from the political context of education policy, evolving technological landscapes, and managing generational diversity. Educational institutions must thoughtfully evolve to meet the needs of 21st century learners.Group 3 team quick and dirty
