#ETMOOC affronta il IVargomento: The Open Movemen; per me è un’occasione per richiamare alla mente informazioni già assimilate,ma soprattutto per esplorare un settore a cui mi sono già avvicinata, ma sul quale ambisco un approfondimento ritenendo che possa fornire le chiavi per capire cosa sta accadendo e soprattutto potrà accadere nel rapporto Governo/cittadinanza.…

Here’s the intro to Session 2: CSS. I’m thrilled with the positive response from both the live & local as well as the connected learning experience @ Women Learning Tech: Create a Website for Session 1: HTML.

“…totally uncharted territory.”
Something that I haven’t given as much blog attention here as I would have liked so far this semester is the vibrant community that has sprung up around our school’s Introduction to Guitar class.

Developing digital literacies through digital storytelling tools
Sugata Mitra: Build a School in the Cloud
Sugata Mitra talks about self-directed learning and students using computers to find information for themselves. He has a lot of very interesting ideas about how schools could be run and the overall purpose of education. I’m not sure I agree with his total goals, but there are certainly concepts that need to be incorporated into traditional education.…
Learning, literacy and digital literacy
There seems to be a disconnect between learning and literacy including digital literacy thanks to a perpetuating belief that confuses learning with literacy creating a bipolar world of learners and non-learners, literate and illiterate. The formalization of the educational system has deepened the divide between these contrasting categories by ignoring those who are informal literate and informal illiterate learners.…
