Being unreasonable and
disruptive
"The reasonable man adapts himself to the
conditions that surround him... The
unreasonable man adapts surrounding
conditions to himself... All progress
depends on the unreasonable man."
George Bernard Shaw

The hype…
Presentation available from kenjprice.edublogs.org



Sometimes people use Web2.0 to refer to
anything new on the web
It’s actually a name for some particular
new ways to use the web (and the
associated technologies)

Choose your own definition







Web is the platform – webtop not desktop
The read-write web (not the read-only web)
Data comes from users… many users
Location of data is irrelevant
Sometimes data combined from multiple
sources – often XML
Username/pwd taken care of by site
(sometimes transferable eg Google, Gmail, etc)
Boring techo stuff: usually AJAX-based
(Asynchronous Javascript and XML).
Presentation available from kenjprice.edublogs.org
7
Technical stuff
Boring technical
feature
So what?
JavaScript to tie it all
together
Interaction with user
XHTML and CSS standards
based presentation
Can easily change appearance - data and
presentation separated
Interaction with the page
through the DOM
Can directly control page
Data interchange with XML
and XSLT
Can interoperate with other systems, present
their data in locally-defined ways
Asynchronous data retrieval No discernible lag when you do stuff
with XMLHttpRequest

Disruptive technology
Web 2.0 is inherently a disruptive
technology… this has two faces.

Disruptive technology

Disruption is
Essential to
innovation

Disruptive technology

Disruption is Evil for
some (many?) school
leaders, school systems
and maybe some
teachers and librarians

Web 2.0 disrupts some beliefs
about knowledge, understanding
and learning
Presentation available from kenjprice.edublogs.org
21
Metaphors

Web 1.0 – web as digital reference library,
largely a source of information for
students.
strive for content to be authoritative.

Web 2.0 – web as place for students to
build knowledge, interact, share ideas.
accept that content may be unreliable.
Presentation available from kenjprice.edublogs.org
22
Web 2.0 and pedagogy
“I'm not surprised to read …that most of the
activities involving broadband are teacher-led (or
what I call the Dick Turpin style of teaching - stand
and deliver) because we're not encouraging this
symmetry, with pupils creating content and using
broadband to share it with others.
There needs to be this peer-to-peer type of learning
and this why broadband hasn't yet delivered the
properly personalised curriculum. Sadly, today,
broadband is about delivery and not about what it
truly should be: participation.”
(Stephen Heppell, 2006)

Web 2.0 disrupts people and their
roles

Extending a metaphor…
McKeown, L.
http://www.teachers.ash.org.au/lindy/pencil/pencil.htm
Lead-ers at the
pointy end
Wood – Would do it with
the right support from the
leaders
Sharp ones- take
up from early
adopters
The dead wood –hard to
get results with these
The eraser– can undo most of the work of the
others given half a chance
Chewed up- still
Hanger-on: looks
active but happy
like part of the act,
for others to
but does nothing
lead

25
And in a Web2.0 world…
Presentation available from kenjprice.edublogs.org
26
Web 2.0 uptake - initially




Web 2.0 tools are often used as Web 1.0
tools initially
eg blogs and podcasts just a way of
disseminating class tasks and notes,
del.icio.us collections used only to convey
websites,
Wikipedia just as a “reference” tool
Presentation available from kenjprice.edublogs.org
27
Web 2.0 disrupts some ideas on
student participation
Students creating significant content,
feedback and interaction can be a
challenge

Web 2.0 and constructivism


If we accept that knowledge creation is at
least a significant part of pedagogy, we
need tools that work that way
Web 2.0 tools do
Presentation available from kenjprice.edublogs.org
32
Delicious
http://del.icio.us/




At its simplest - just a social bookmarks
organiser
Nice way for students to maintain/share
reference and personal collections of online
material, or teachers to present these
Portable, device-independent
Based on user-determined tagging
(folksonomy rather than formal taxonomy)

Why use del.icio.us?










Save site found using multiple computers (home and
school) to one place.
Access your bookmarks anywhere you have web access.
Continue to access your bookmarks even when your
computer crashes or you get a new computer.

Would you be surprised if in 2005
 84% of prisons had rules against online chatting
 81% had rules against instant messaging
 62% prohibited blogging or participating in online
discussion boards.
 60% prohibited sending and receiving email
 52% prohibited any social networking sites?
Presentation available from kenjprice.edublogs.org

Teacher and student blogs



www.edublogs.org - free blogs for every
teacher, and its partner site provides
personal student blogs (Australian service
– James Farmer)
Current DoE blogs restricted to staff and
students with logins. Available in DoE’s
SharePoint (just!) and Moodle installations
(and sort of in WebCT)
New version of SharePoint and LMS will
provide better tools.

Banning Web 2.0 in schools?
Presentation available from kenjprice.edublogs.org

Impact of Web 2.0 on education
systems
 There
seems to be a pattern of
how schools and systems respond
to disruptive technology
 Evident since HotMaiL (maybe
before?)
 5 stages (maybe?)
Presentation available from kenjprice.edublogs.org
41
System responses to disruptive
technology
Some online tool becomes
available freely
Presentation available from kenjprice.edublogs.org
42
System responses to disruptive
technology
Students use it at home and
school
Presentation available from kenjprice.edublogs.org
43
System responses to disruptive
technology
Some educators may (validly or
otherwise) see this tool as a
threat. They respond by
restricting, renouncing or
simply banning it.
Presentation available from kenjprice.edublogs.org
44
System responses to disruptive
technology
Tool becomes widespread in wider
community (Gladwell’s Tipping
Point reached?). Student use or
expectation reaches critical mass,
education sees its potential and
the need to provide it securely
Presentation available from kenjprice.edublogs.org
45
System responses to disruptive
technology
Education responds with a
secure and manageable
replacement
And everyone breathes a sigh of relief….



As it stands, it’s really Web 1.0

it’s an “almost Web 2.0” application.
Mashups of Google Earth or Maps with
other data can produce neat educational
products

Youtube – the other side of secret
video
Secret filming teacher defended
Mrs Mason denies professional misconduct and
failing to promote the education and welfare of
students.
It would be a "travesty of justice" to discipline a supply teacher who
secretly filmed her pupils for a documentary, a tribunal has heard.
Mrs Mason, of north London, is accused of professional misconduct for
filming staff and students without consent.
She denies misconduct, saying she wanted to expose "classroom chaos".

An acceptable "window" of public
reactions to ideas under discussion,

Presentation available from kenjprice.edublogs.org
73
The Overton Window

moving the Overton Window - people
promote ideas even less acceptable
than the previous "outer fringe" ideas
talk about extremes to shift the average
person’s ideas
Presentation available from kenjprice.edublogs.org
74
Implications for online teachers?
We have a professional obligation to discuss
and analyse somewhat extreme ideas to shift
the popular view. Nobody else will!
Web 2.0 (and 3.D) are such ideas
Presentation available from kenjprice.edublogs.org
75
Web 2.0 disrupts the tradition of
schools and systems having a
monopoly on owning and delivering
curriculum

Web 2.0 disrupts the idea that
schools are responsible for
providing IT services to students
Presentation available from kenjprice.edublogs.org
83
What if all this was available for
free?







chat.
Access your inbox, calendar, docs and campus info, plus search the
web from one place.
Manage your domain and user accounts online.
Free text and voice calling around the world.

86
Web 2.0 can disrupt our very idea
of what a school, education system
or teacher is


40 weeks x 5 days x 6 hours model, 30
students + teacher organised by age and
moving as a group each year in a funded
environment – just a convenience from
last century?
Web 2.0 allows us to consider 365 x 24 x
7 with students organised in other ways (if
we want!) eg new Catholic school in Paramatta
Presentation available from kenjprice.edublogs.org
87
OK so what is left?


There are new ways for kids to have
webtop productivity software, email,
online storage, mindmapping,
diagramming, image management, GISgeospatial tools, video, audio, hardware
etc etc
What if education and training just made
use of these instead of trying to provide it
all?
Presentation available from kenjprice.edublogs.org
88
There are risks…
Presentation available from kenjprice.edublogs.org

Where is (are) your data?
Who else can get to it?
Does the application encourage
inappropriate use?

Students can use this regardless of
what we do in schools and colleges

92
Web 2.0 risks


Usernames and passwords –
how to manage them all?
Security risk if you use same
username/pwd as on your
own systems? Need for
different levels of password
Presentation available from kenjprice.edublogs.org

Average cost of these services is
just over $250 per student.
Hardware and software
Presentation available from kenjprice.edublogs.org
98
What will Web 2.0 do to IT costs?



reduce some software costs, and maybe
hardware (students using own hardware at home more)
Reduce direct support costs might drop
(or shift to other providers)
Actual ISP/bandwidth/data volume will
increase, and so will costs (does this all
have to be via a school in the conventional
sense?)

The future…

Let’s hope that early-adopter educators
continue to innovate with new
technologies, and schools and systems
make use of their findings to benefit all
learners.

What would YOU do?
a
student uses
RateMyTeachers.com and claims
that a teacher is involved in an
inappropriate relationship with
one of her students?
Presentation available from kenjprice.edublogs.org
103
What would YOU do?

some students use a photosharing
site to share photos of last weekend’s
drinking party. Some of the photos
involve nudity
Presentation available from kenjprice.edublogs.org
104
What would YOU do?
a teacher uses a free public blog site to
develop and deliver all their year’s work.
The blog site closes without notice 6
months later as the company collapses.
The teacher has no copy of their materials
because “it’s all stored on that network
thing isn’t it??”

Presentation available from kenjprice.edublogs.org
105
What would YOU do?

Your students decide to repeatedly
edit the Wikipedia pages for your city,
to “improve” them. The Wikipedia
administrators block the IP range for
your school system so nobody in your
school/system can edit.
Presentation available from kenjprice.edublogs.org
106
What would YOU do?

Some kids hate the different software
versions, settings and applications on
school and home computers.
They decide instead to do all their work
using ThinkFree, a totally online
application and data storage tool.
