DiegoLeal.org: Random ideas on random conversations (CCK08-Week 9)
Another set of notes from Nancy White's discussion for CCK08. Where my notes focused heavily on what Nancy and Stephen was saying, Diego did a much better job of capturing and summarizing the chat conversation.
When you think of yourself as a learner, you begin to act as one, and suddenly all the potential of networks and online information begins to make sense

Groups into Networks New Curriculum Needed - CCK08 - ubiquitous's posterous
An idea for how to move towards networked learning: start with groups, which will initially be more comfortable and less chaotic, then gradually increase the freedom to learning in networks.
Once students get the hang of groups online, just like any mother bird, the teacher needs to slowly start pushing them out of the nest.  And I do not mean anywhere near Middle School.  Most of the students in a school will be ready for this kind of experience nearing High School, and I believe this age will slowly lower as time passes and this form of education becomes more common.
The process of moving the students forward from a group setting to a network will be required, so will an educator familiar with both.  For this process to properly occur, curriculum will need to be specifically designed and implemented, taking into account, emerging technologies and student safety within an online environment.
