What are you thinking about these days? As we wind down 2014, we are following Tom Carroll’s lead and asking this question of our education leaders in Ontario.
OSSEMOOC has included links to educator blogs on this website so that they are easily accessible.
Today we are reading David Jaremy’s blog, where he writes about his first impressions of the book “The Digital Principal” by Janette Hughes and Anne Burke.
David writes about his thinking around the read-write web and how our ability (and, perhaps, our obligation) to contribute, changes the way we need to interact with our students.
How many of us have taken the time to think about this?
Where do we share our ideas around this shift?
His post reminded me of an example we used in our “30 Days of Getting Connected” Series. Ira David Socol writes about how change is not new, but in the Web 1.0 days, change was happening at a different level, and was not as apparent to us. Web 2.0, the read-write web, allows the ability to create and contribute, which results in change that impacts all of us.
For an excellent overview of Web 1.0 -> Web 2.0 -> Web 3.0 and its impact on learning and teaching, refer to the work of Dr. Jackie Gerstein here.
So how does the read-write web change our dynamics as a teacher?
We look forward to reading more of David Jaremy’s thinking and reading on this topic. In the meantime, continue the conversation by leaving comments on his blog post here.
*David Jaremy is the Principal of Hornepayne Elementary and Secondary School, a JK-12 school in a small, Northern Ontario community!
