Redesigning the future of education in Knowmad Society: Our next steps In case if you missed my keynote at IPON, I’m sharing slides from my talk via SlideShare: IPON is moving away from serving as an ICT platform for education toward a platform for innovation in education. This requires a very human touch, and I aimed to reflect this aspect in my talk with an overview of Knowmad Society. How we’ll get to the meaningful development of workers who can work anytime, anywhere, and with anybody in a knowmadic world requires significant realignment of our educational priorities. Focus on soft skills development.In our book, Invisible Learning, Cristóbal Cobo and I explored the important roles of informal and soft skills learning — many of which contribute to elements of success in modern organizations or entrepreneurial activities. Above all, to make all of this happen, we need vision. Some people say we need a revolution.
Creating Assessments That Can't Be Googled - ISTE 2013 – My Big Campus VoiceThread is a web-based presentation and slideshow tool that allows users to post images, documents, videos, and presentations online. Once uploaded, these presentations can be narrated by a single person or become the background for a recorded conversation between several people. Users also have the ability to record annotations over the presentation while speaking. The conversations on each slide can be recorded in several ways. Users can leave audio comments with a microphone, web camera, or telephone. The following videos are more tutorials created by Steve Johnson.
Conociendo al Knowmad: trabajador del conocimiento y la innovación Vivimos en la explosión de las redes sociales y la sociedad está cambiando, así como nuestra forma de aprender y de trabajar en ella. Fruto de este cambio, cada día tiene más relevancia el trabajador del conocimiento y la innovación: el Knowmad. Lo que motiva a trabajadores del conocimiento es lo mismo que motiva a voluntarios……necesitan, sobre todo, retos. Foto por Marco Raaphorst vía Flickr Llevo algún tiempo leyendo un libro titulado Aprendizaje Invisible, que si no has leído, te recomiendo encarecidamente que nada más termines de leer este post, lo hagas de forma gratuita desde el enlace anterior. El libro habla sobre las habilidades de aprendizaje que no se enseñan en nuestro sistema educativo y que ya son necesarias en la sociedad actual, basadas en la innovación, el aprendizaje continuo y en cómo promover el pensamiento crítico frente a la forma de educación actual. ¿Es el knowmad el hombre renacentista del siglo XXI? Pasaporte de habilidades para un Knowmad: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
Knowmads in Society 3.0 Remember nomads? In the pre-industrial age, nomads were people that moved with their livelihood (usually animal herding) instead of settling at a single location. Industrialization forced the settlement of many nomadic peoples… …but, something new is emerging in the 21st century: Knowmads. A knowmad is what I term a nomadic knowledge worker –that is, a creative, imaginative, and innovative person who can work with almost anybody, anytime, and anywhere. The coffee shop has become the workplace of choice for many knowmads. The remixing of places and social relationships is also impacting education. Who are these knowmads in Society 3.0? (To find out, click on the picture) Are you a knowmad?
Send Your Parents a 'Care Package' of How-To Videos It's tough raising parents these days. Take it from me: my retired mom and dad are brilliant people, but they just can't get the hang of copying-and-pasting. Apparently they're not the only ones, as evidenced by Google's unofficial new Teach Parents Tech site. It's designed expressly for people who want to help their parents learn computer basics. All you do is complete an amusingly tongue-in-cheek form, the bulk of which involves choosing how-to videos you want to send to Mom and/or Dad. The site offers a few dozen of them, with topics ranging from "Copy & Paste" to "Make a Blog" to "Attach a File to an Email." Unsurprisingly, many of the videos are Google product-centric. Once you've completed the form, you'll get to preview your "tech support care package" before sending it. Teach Parents Tech is really ingenious.
El bus que difunde la cultura libre por latinoamérica Tags: cultura libreInternetLibrebus En tiempos de la Ley Sinde y de creadores de páginas de descarga que presentan nuevos proyectos en libertad condicional; en tiempos en que un vídeo en Youtube de una canción indescifrable es una plataforma más rentable que patearse las salas de concierto guitarra en mano; en tiempos de lucha entre el copyright, la exclusividad, y las fórmulas como creative commons. En estos tiempos, un grupo de activistas de la cultura libre se metieron en un bus y recorrieron varios países, primero de Centroamérica y después de Sudamérica, para expandir su filosofía de que el conocimiento es un patrimonio de todos. “Era quizás un sueño que todos teníamos en la cabeza y tres personas se sientan en algún lugar del mundo…”, comenta Carolina Flores, la coordinadora del proyecto, en el principio del documental que surgió del primer viaje. Entre las actividades se impulsaron nuevos métodos, como el que llevó a cabo en Guatemala: El Hackatón de datos públicos.
Knowmads as Critical Relevancies Hybrid Futures Knowmads pt 5 This is part 8 in the series: The Rise of the Cyber Unified Civilization "..the concept of “transindividuation” is one that does not rest with the individuated “I” or with the interindividuated “We,” but is the process of co-individuation within a preindividuated milieu and in which both the “I” and the “We” are transformed through one another. " Bernard Stiegler and Irit Rogoff, Transindividuation / Journal / e-flux Knowmads are the future of Individuation Increasingly the matter of our bodies, our bio-constructs, is being extended into virtuality. Though it is true that at present an appearance of a gap still exist between our bodies and the net, it is also concomitantly true that this gap is narrowing by the moment; in fact the time when our brains will integrate with machines is fast approaching, and though the uses for therapeutic purposes (at least at the beginning) are obvious and enlightening it is clear that soon thereafter the technology will spread to all of us. “Sapere aude”
