…GETTING PAST PREACHING TO THE CHOIR:
Bonnie Stewart University of Prince Edward Island
#COHERE16
#ed1to1 – a model for scaffolding meaningful networked
participation https://www.flickr.com/photos/thomashawk/5204061884
Not a new goal, or critique

“The traditional model is teacher-centered rather than
learner-centered.
Knowledge and skills are commodities to be delivered
by the teacher to the student.”
- Dewey, Experience and
Education, 1938
Too often, online courses prioritize content / cognitive presence only

To establish presence,
do we need to be in the
same space? https://californiapixie.com/2013/05/10/old-school-fisher-price-style/
To establish presence, we need to be able to communicate our experiences & understandings

One-to-many communications

Contribution builds visibility & helps people find their people

Students don’t necessarily want to use social media.
Especially students who are teachers.

CHOIR NEVER https://www.flickr.com/photos/nevilleslens/15867691904
Educators are conditioned to see tech as separate from – even
counter to – learning & presence
http://www.bbc.com/news/business-34174796 http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/22/opinion/sunday/the-flight-from-conversation.html?_r=0
Educators are encouraged – not unwisely – to be cautious

Thus online learning stays mostly confined to the LMS,
where it’s “safe”

But where teacher authority & student compliance are already
baked in.

I wanted to try to break out of that.

In a learner-centered, inquiry-based way.
But educators seldom have experiential
learning opportunities
for digital networked
participation… https://www.flickr.com/photos/thomashawk/5327432805
So I wanted to scaffold a proof of concept lesson using social media to connect & build presence. In the open, outside the LMS.

Hashtags…
• Collate all contributions with the same letter / number combo, no matter where
in the world they come from • Operate as a rolling list of those
contributions, with newest at the top • Allow ppl in different locations but with
similar interests to connect & to amplify each others’ contributions
A # needs something to talk about in order to invite
participation: I chose an article with wide appeal & multiple
threads & layers.
A # also benefits
from built-in
critical mass to work as an experiential proof-of-concept
of networked participation.
Learners offered very
positive evaluations…and
some of the 60% are still
using Twitter a year later.

Scaffolded networked participation supported learner-centered
inquiry.
…And to build literacies on a platform they can use for
ongoing, at-home professional development.

#ed1to1 = learner-centered, scaffolded participation
rather than tool- or teacher-centered use of technologies.
