]]> Comment on Damming the Information Flood by Preyanka http://paradigmshift21.edublogs.org/2011/01/01/damming-the-information-flood/comment-page-1/#comment-94 Preyanka Thu, 14 Jul 2011 21:45:05 +0000 http://paradigmshift21.edublogs.org/?p=301#comment-94 This is an incredible idea, and I'm working on mine now. I loved your presentation and took away from it the idea that we, as educators, can't prevent or block the flow of information, which many schools have tried to do (with much anxiety) in the past few years; rather, we must learn to manage and contain the inevitable flow and teach our students how to do the same.

Changes the paradigm to make learners producers of learning content that is then used to teach others. Other learners play the games to see how successful they are as learning devices and feedback. Very rich content, but also deep learning processes and social processes on learning content. Scratch from MIT is an amazing example of this. Also the work of the National Science Foundation and their Universe Quest project - 'disadvantaged' kids making games around science and astronomy using Thinking Worlds.

Documents may have been moved to electronic publishing, but we still use email to a very great extent to share those documents, at least internally within the organizations. And if you take a closer look, social networks, websites and other such platforms are generally used for users/visitors external to the organization. But right, who knows the what the newer generation comes up with and it may well be something that really replaces email itself. Quite an exciting phase this is of technological progress.
