Connectedness?

                 It’s not about the technology, but it’s all about
                 connectedness! Devices and gadgets are less important
                 than the ability to be connected.

                 Connectedness is the capacity to benefit from

                 connectivity for personal, social, work or economic
                 purposes.

                 Seizing the opportunities that connectedness offers.

                 This is having an impact on all areas of human activity.




                                                                            5
Why Connect?


               Global Friends : Facebook Stories Map

               Immigration is a strong link that bind these people
               making new connections and maintaining old friendships.
Why connect?




               Overwhelming trends found is the strong ties that
               remains between nations that have linguistic, cultural and
               economical ties.

               Economic links, through trade or investment, are strong
               predictors of country connectedness.

Education opportunities


            Education has an important role to equip individuals with the
            skills to exploit the opportunities that the knowledge economy
            and society offers.

            Challenges for schools and teachers to better integrate the

            into the daily experience of schooling.

            Opportunities to help learners to make the most out of
            connectedness, enabling teachers to improve their skills




                                                                              7
So what about skills?

         Failure to transform a given talent into a set of valuable
         skills has negative consequence for individual wellbeing
         and economic performance.

         It is important to acquire a range of generic
         skills, including good foundation skills in literacy and
         numeracy, but also communication skills and the ability

         to cope with technology-rich environments.

         New technologies mean new skills for new jobs, and that
         requires us to rethink learning.

         Education is for life, not just the classroom.

                                                                      8

Key Findings

               Public debate is needed about youth, education and connectedness
               with an agenda that is informed by evidence.

                At increasingly early age already benefit from connectedness.

                What matters is what young people do while connected
Key Findings




                Students want technology to improve teaching and
                 learning, not to change it radically.

                Educators and policy makers should look at young people’s
                 current practices as a source of inspiration.

                Need to pay attention to the learners’ voices.

                                                                             14
Key Findings

                Stereotypes implicitly assert that all young people are the
                 same with regard to technology, which is far from being true.

                For the purposes of improving teaching and learning in
                 formal education, it is the diversity of students and
Key Findings




                 situations that matters most.

                The skills that young people develop by themselves with
                 regard to technology do not necessarily help them to
                 maximise their learning opportunities.

                Impact on learners is extremely complex and multisided so
                 more empirical research is needed.

Implications for educational
policy, research and practice




                                16
Implications for policy makers


                  Curriculum reform, teacher training, professional development
                   and assessments

                  Uneven digital skills – international inventory of required skills
                   and an agreed framework for digital literacy
Implications




                  Maximizes learning opportunities for innovation ways to help
                   students benefit from connectivity


                  More and better possibilities to improve the learning experience
                   and outcomes of learners


                  Equity issues for students to have access, ensure digital exclusion
                   does not compound social exclusion


                                                                                         17
Implications for educational
                                  institutions and teachers

                  Progressively integrate the new digital media and the resulting
                   innovative social practices into the daily experience of schooling.

                  Integrate connectedness into the teaching skills, particularly those
                   supported with or enhanced by connectedness, with subject-related
                   skills and assess them.
Implications




               •   Help learners develop more digital and information skills as it is so
                   often mistakenly assumed that the young generations possess these
                   naturally.

               •   Strengthen information literacy which is vital in order to improve
                   the educational use of connectedness.




                                                                                         18
Implications for parents


               •   Parents need to assume responsibility in this sphere and their
                   involvement is valuable.

               •   Kids value parents guidance, support and interest

               •   Targeting parents with awareness raising message and resources is
                   a priority
Implications




               •   Safe use of connectedness requires particular attention

               •   Support to kids is important with guidance to maximize the
                   opportunities offered by connectedness and cope with the risks

               •   No kid left behind –> no digital orphans

               •   Dedicated channels provided by government for parental support -
                   to avoid saturation of schools and teachers - when families with
                   limited by technology awareness need advice.
                                                                                       19
Implications for research


                  Need more investment in empirical research especially in learning
                   benefits and rewards of experience.

                  Research on the realities of how younger and older generations
                   learn through and engage in technology

                  Support potential for education in relation to emerging
Implications




                   technologies

                  Monitor the effects on connectedness has on
                   learners, supplementing surveys with observational activities and
                   social applications and improving via experimental research to
                   understand the conditions on how technology can make learning
                   more enjoyable, convenient and productive.

                  Provide policy makers and practitioners with empirically
                   supported evidence about what works and how to scale it up.

                                                                                       20

Contrasting views about the digital generation Connected Minds 4. What are the effects of attachment to digital media and connectivity? 5. Are learners’ expectations changing? 6. Emerging issues for education 7. Key findings 8. Implications for educational policy, research and practice. 4
  • 5. Connectedness? It’s not about the technology, but it’s all about connectedness! Devices and gadgets are less important than the ability to be connected. Connectedness is the capacity to benefit from Connectedness? connectivity for personal, social, work or economic purposes. Seizing the opportunities that connectedness offers. This is having an impact on all areas of human activity. 5
  • 6. Why Connect? Global Friends : Facebook Stories Map Immigration is a strong link that bind these people making new connections and maintaining old friendships. Why connect? Overwhelming trends found is the strong ties that remains between nations that have linguistic, cultural and economical ties. Economic links, through trade or investment, are strong predictors of country connectedness. 6
  • 7. Education opportunities Education has an important role to equip individuals with the skills to exploit the opportunities that the knowledge economy and society offers. Challenges for schools and teachers to better integrate the Education new digital media and the resulting innovative social practices into the daily experience of schooling. Opportunities to help learners to make the most out of connectedness, enabling teachers to improve their skills 7
  • 8. So what about skills? Failure to transform a given talent into a set of valuable skills has negative consequence for individual wellbeing and economic performance. It is important to acquire a range of generic skills, including good foundation skills in literacy and numeracy, but also communication skills and the ability Skills to cope with technology-rich environments. New technologies mean new skills for new jobs, and that requires us to rethink learning. Education is for life, not just the classroom. 8

  • 14. Key Findings Public debate is needed about youth, education and connectedness with an agenda that is informed by evidence.  At increasingly early age already benefit from connectedness.  What matters is what young people do while connected Key Findings  Students want technology to improve teaching and learning, not to change it radically.  Educators and policy makers should look at young people’s current practices as a source of inspiration.  Need to pay attention to the learners’ voices. 14
  • 15. Key Findings  Stereotypes implicitly assert that all young people are the same with regard to technology, which is far from being true.  For the purposes of improving teaching and learning in formal education, it is the diversity of students and Key Findings situations that matters most.  The skills that young people develop by themselves with regard to technology do not necessarily help them to maximise their learning opportunities.  Impact on learners is extremely complex and multisided so more empirical research is needed. 15
  • 16. Implications for educational policy, research and practice 16
  • 17. Implications for policy makers  Curriculum reform, teacher training, professional development and assessments  Uneven digital skills – international inventory of required skills and an agreed framework for digital literacy Implications  Maximizes learning opportunities for innovation ways to help students benefit from connectivity  More and better possibilities to improve the learning experience and outcomes of learners  Equity issues for students to have access, ensure digital exclusion does not compound social exclusion 17
  • 18. Implications for educational institutions and teachers  Progressively integrate the new digital media and the resulting innovative social practices into the daily experience of schooling.  Integrate connectedness into the teaching skills, particularly those supported with or enhanced by connectedness, with subject-related skills and assess them. Implications • Help learners develop more digital and information skills as it is so often mistakenly assumed that the young generations possess these naturally. • Strengthen information literacy which is vital in order to improve the educational use of connectedness. 18
  • 19. Implications for parents • Parents need to assume responsibility in this sphere and their involvement is valuable. • Kids value parents guidance, support and interest • Targeting parents with awareness raising message and resources is a priority Implications • Safe use of connectedness requires particular attention • Support to kids is important with guidance to maximize the opportunities offered by connectedness and cope with the risks • No kid left behind –> no digital orphans • Dedicated channels provided by government for parental support - to avoid saturation of schools and teachers - when families with limited by technology awareness need advice. 19
  • 20. Implications for research  Need more investment in empirical research especially in learning benefits and rewards of experience.  Research on the realities of how younger and older generations learn through and engage in technology  Support potential for education in relation to emerging Implications technologies  Monitor the effects on connectedness has on learners, supplementing surveys with observational activities and social applications and improving via experimental research to understand the conditions on how technology can make learning more enjoyable, convenient and productive.  Provide policy makers and practitioners with empirically supported evidence about what works and how to scale it up. 20
