Digital Horizons…the future for Knowledge and Learning Professor Gilly Salmon, Professor (Learning Futures) & Executive Director Australian Digital Futures Institute
Professor Gilly Salmon points to new e-planets on the horizon. She explores our vehicles for travel and what the transformational impacts and opportunity are for education. Professor Salmon examines some preferred and viable futures for learning through the lens of concepts of openness, mobility and digital communities. Not for the faint hearted.
Power of Networks: How Sharing & Openness Transform Learning Extended joint keynote from Dr Alec Couros, Associate Professor Educational Technology & Media, Faculty of Education, University of Regina and George Couros, Division Principal of Innovative Teaching & Learning for Parkland School Division, Canada
Social networking services often get the bad rap of ‘time-wasters’ or tools that kids use inappropriately. Yet in reality, there are many social networks built upon passion, kindness, transparency, sharing, and collaboration. This thoughtful and personal keynote presentation will lead participants through an exploration of these powerful human networks; the implications for practice, information & media literacy, and the shifting role of our schools.
