What does C21 learning look like?

Yesterdays seminar What does C21 learning  look like? – interesting day with Mark Pesce doing a great job of hosting what could be argued to be an event dominated by vendor interests. This was the formal agenda but thanks to an undercurrent in the twitter back channel, a parallel commentary was running.  Mark & Gary Putland tried to bring the channel into the mainstream conference. This is becoming an emerging  aspect to the conference format– with the informal chat running ‘underneath’ – both with conference attendees and those outside.  But maybe at the end of the day  its the more potent discourse. Provided some tweets below which captured the undercurrent. Must get an IPhone…

deangroom:  RT @morry_tweet: #edausem – disappointing day with regd to content. I was a twitter skeptic…after yesterday..i’m converted mikecogh:  @roseg yeh – amazing how often and easily we revert to students being Gen Y and Z. They are just part of the story. #edausem MrsAngell:  RT @marlenemanto: #edausem “Being in school is like being in a plane…unconnected, silent & staring ahead for long periods.” LOL <-a worry sridgway:  #edausem being in an aeroplane isolated from your networks all sitting on rows … sounds like a DET NSW classroom to me :> kerryank:  @deangroom why not let them use open source tools and not get tied to proprietary tools? #edausem dbullen:  #edausem thinking that this panel should be the other way around – industry should be listening to educators dbullen:  RT @heyjudeonline #edausem duty of care not about firewalls + walled gardens – its about helping kids be good creative citizens of the world mpesce:  @mikecogh I’m hoping that’s (at least in part) because we did our best to get the backchannel into the mix at #edausem katharinagerste:  #edausem Thanks all for today … the tweeting made the day much easier to sit through! Bit disappointed that VET wasn’t talked about more. fang:  Smiling wryly at the ‘Vendor bashing’ running thru #edausem – you are a hard lot to please !! 😉

Mark nailed it saying change is about information and power, are educators willing to let go of control? #edausem

	BolshieTeacher:  #edausem Perhaps we r being prevented frm achieving 21stC teach by vendors hijacking the agenda in the name of producing life long consumers
	mollybob:  RT @AnneBB #edausem gen z & gen y are sooo tech savvy.. frm TElstra [really? this is a myth – and has been proven extensively!]
