Visitors & Residents David White, University of Oxford - ALT-C 2009 Natives & Immigrants Prensky 2001 Biology, Language or Territory? Old People Just Don't Understand This Stuff Visitor Resident Leave no trace 'Live' online Communal Personal(ised) Social Visible Qualitative Networked Nebulous A-work-in-progress Web as a 'space' Individual Private Converging Goal Orientated Expert(ise) Content Authoritative Quantitative Web as a collection of 'tools' Resident Visitor "There was alot of chat between students and I kept in contact with them afterwards..." Not necessarily collaborative "...Well, not all of them" Micro-celebratory The individual as a brand "I'm not likely to join Facebook and some of my colleagues have, but some are going, oh, I thought it was for perverts and wierd people" "My children gave me a web page and I learnt how to put stuff into it, but I didn't really see that that was a useful way of, it wasn't a useful fit into my life." What's your point? Postdigital? What's the point for education? Authoritative in a 'space' More experienced other Spending time It's not about academic or technical skills it's about culture and motivation Educational culture not skill 'Twitter for Idiots' "That doesn't mean that there aren't learning needs and opportunities around our use of Twitter by the way, I think there probably are, but I also think that people have to get Twitter before even thinking about such things and I'm not totally sure that you can teach people to get Twitter? People get Twitter by using it." "Prensky’s assumption is based on his conviction that unless individuals have grown up with digital technology, they will necessarily be ‘foreigners’. Many learn to speak the language fluently, but those with a fine-tuned ear will always hear their accent. His metaphor is therefore one of language (something easy to overlook given his choice of ‘territorial’ terms)." LeCornu "…just knowing how to use particular technologies makes one no wiser than just knowing how to read words" Prensky http://www.flickr.com/photos/nhudson/2504679411 http://www.flickr.com/photos/howardstrong/3238293371 http://www.flickr.com/photos/sharpshutter/232909207/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/raver_mikey/2224048987 http://tinyurl.com/ktbqbq Institutional Andy Powell @daveowhite tallblog.conted.ox.ac.uk http://bit.ly/mv0uy
