Ann Oro:

The New Humanities: Curiosity, Creativity, and Collaboration - we need to develop ways to help students get past passing around funny videos. As educators, we need to invent methods of writing that take students further.

What are you watching online? Wat students watch most online is things like "Girl Coming Hair" The most watched things online are completely parody-based.

If we do not create pedagogy, a composing process, that inculcates idea management & THOUGHT we WILL NOT GROW as a global society!

audience questions: Will physical meeting places be necessary in the future?

Rich- absolutely!

heasulli:

My personal belief....absollutely too! If we don't physically spend time together, there is no need to have the empathy that we are trying to use collaborative online environments to teach & to drive our society forward. Physical encounters are the essence of our humanity!

heasulli:

Try asking that question to a teenager that sends 4000 text mesages a month! Every 5 minutes they get bombaded with message on their phones like "whazzzup?"..."NOTHING is up because I don't every have 5 minutes to myself to THINK!!!"

"Students will never have anything to SAY if they are never taught how to THINK & they will never learn how to think if they never learn how to FOCUS!

Ann Oro:

Audience comment: high school students seem to fear two things: silence and writing - how to make the leap to write a clear thought to get into college.

heasulli:

The image that's currently being sold with respect to 21st century learning is essentially a commericial. Everyone is happy & peace Love & harmony prevail. But that's NOT how learning really happens! The problem is that we don't have an accurate picture of how authentic 21st century learning happens because it's not yet, so we have no template to associate with to draw an accurate picture in our mind's eye. Real learning is HARD & DIRTY & sometimes FRUSTRATING - that's where the REWARD & SATISFACTION come from & that's the kind of environment we need to envision for learning

Ann Oro:

Answer: It is the structural challenge of our time. We need to help the students.

audience comment: best way to help our students learn how to think is to help them recognize how to identify PATTERNS
