The medium not the message
Most people, when thinking about
eLearning assume that it is better.
"no significant difference" pehnomenom
Ertmer, (2003) suggests that, to support and sustain meaningful changes in teaching and learning, teacher education programs should move beyond skills development and implement the following three components: building collaborative structures, modelling effective technology use, and reflecting on current practices and beliefs.
Jacobsen, Clifford, and Friesen (2002) is that '[i]t is simply not good enough to teach the next generation of teachers in ways we were taught because they will live and teach children in a different age' (p. 367)
The Raising the Standards report (Department of Education, Science and Training, 2002), noted that there were no common ICT standards for teacher educators in Australia
Brew (2010) suggests that the way learning occurs is changing in education 'moves to evidence based teaching and learning, including problem-based learning, increasing development and use of research-based curricula, as well as changes in research activity to include a greater involvement of students, are indications that cultures of inquiry in the teaching and the research domains may be being integrated and that new relationships between research and teaching are being introduced.'

Deductive: experts determine the scope of learning by examining the subject and its components and establish right and wrong answers
Learning Management Systems
PowerPoint Summaries
Quizes and sequenced tasks

Driven by the gradebook
Value (by students) linked to
the value in the assessment
Traditional eLearning use of ICT
Inductive: stakeholders assemble to share experiences about the subject event, create indicators of successful outcomes, and establish descriptions of successful and unsuccessful behaviors
Socially driven learning
Traditional learning
web, mobile, game,virtual worlds
Internet based applications
Human Networks
Online Communities
Open Resource Development
Shared Practice

The object or subject to be mastered
The learner’s behavior
Listed and prioritized objectives based on judgments about knowledge and skills required
Static; based on the lesson’s building blocks until course revision

Outcomes of learning event based on use of device or interaction
Dynamic around the flow of  experience; particular objectives dependent on paths and review of outcomes
Not fully known until after the lesson

Relatively simple, well-known, and well-structured topics often with high knowledge requirements
Knowledge-focused

Complex topics with high interaction or practice requirements
Performance-focused

There are more players on Farmville, a Facebook game than there are Twitter Accounts.

Look at it this way $3billion dollars in REAL revenue for what is a FREE online game this year alone.

It kind of gets people's attention.
This is $25 virtual horse in World of Warcarft
12 million people play online every month

This horse raised $1million dollars in the first
day it was made available to players.

Only the top 10% of players are epic enough
to be able to ride it. This one is riden by a
9 year old.
eLearning is now tangential.
What we can learn by ourselves grows everyday
What we are learning is that we can't drink from the hosepipe

We want to collaborate, we want tools that help us do that,
but we want to learn them for almost no personal effort.
give us an insight into student needs
help me to identify what works well, so I can build on it
help me to identify what doesn't work so well, so I can address it.
promote particiaption of parents, teachers and the wider community, encouraging them to reflect on children's educucational needs and their own belief and attitudes towards education
help me highlight problems and potential solutions which help us to influence policy at many levels (locally - in our own context, organistations - both nationally and internationally)
