    This document summarizes a discussion on digital learning spaces and tools. Key points include: - Learning can occur independently of time and space through seamless integration of digital technologies. - Digital learning spaces involve the entire school community and should not be isolated initiatives. - Popular tools mentioned include Google Apps, Blogger, Google Docs, and online platforms like Wiziq for whole-school or district online instruction. - Professional development for teachers should focus on pedagogical approaches and how technology supports student-centered learning rather than just introducing new tools. - Both technology-rich classrooms and progressive teaching practices like project-based learning are needed to enrich student learning environments.

    Digital Learning Spaces w/ David Jakes

    Science Learning Academy in Philadelphia


    Seamless integration of technology. Independent of time, space, and
    place.
    Walled garden versus opening the gate to Eden.
    We are merging the digital and the physical worlds.
    Istock photo- $3

    Course Space- targeting teachers to create and post online content


    Student Space where kids work
    Knowledge Commons- digital space for support groups (library, support
    people, etc)

    Bb content- why does it reside in teacher’s class? If it is the kids’ it is a


    digital portfolio.
    Have students have 1 blog. Use tags for subjects.

    Core Concepts
    Learning can be independent of time and space.
    Learning space involves all components of the school community
    Systemic, and not isolated

    Is it important enough for everyone to do it?


    AY thought: what if they are using Smartboards one year, not the next.

    Preferred access for those who lack broadband.

    Student space: google aps is David’s toolr


    Blogger and google docs
    Open source tools

    Idea of audience- should it be peers first.

    www.Wiziq.com anyone can teach and learn online. Whole school or
    District instruction online; it is in beta

    Book: Rainbow’s End recommended.
    Find out about Socrates and his opposition to writing
    We are resistant to change
    His company: games2train
    Digital technology has changed today’s kids
    ENGAGE ME or ENRAGE ME!
    We have moved from Knowledge is Power to Sharing
    Technology’s only role is to support students to learn on their own, to
    learn to learn.
    Why youtube matters:
    Volume
    Range
    Bi-directional
    Reach
    Speed
    Teachers and students should be out making youtubes together.
    Professional development should be about how we teach, then the
    technology to support that.

    • Tech rich classrooms correlate to progressive practices like
    project based learning
    • Teachers need to learn more about pedagogy
    • You need to be able to sustain both things at once
    • Traditional SD cannot do this
    • There is seldom just-in-time enough
    What else?
    • Situate it in classrooms
    • Reinforce constructivist practices
    • Provide support for technology so it does not fail
    • Enrich learning environments for students

    We have like 10x as many computers.


    Teachers have good reasons not to use technology
    “research show that we need more professional development” NOT
    Tech Yes- brochures
    Test and report results- canned
    Instead, project based methodology. Student mentoring team on
    campus.
    Student guide
    Curriculum and tools

    Community
    • Teacher practice occurs in classroom
    • Students are part of community
    • PD, traditionally, removes people from both

    Hurdles, not obstacles


    It is NOT true that if we buy enough stuff learning will happen.
