Proposal Online Educa Berlijn geaccepteerd (#OEB10)

Tot half mei kon je presentatievoorstellen indienen voor de komende editie van de Online Educa Berlijn. Als lid van het adviescomité kon ik dat schijnbaar ook doen (alleen de stuurgroep beoordeelt de voorstellen). Gisteravond ontving ik het bericht dat mijn proposal is geaccepteerd. Ik heb een voorstel ingediend voor een 'zeepkist sessie':

Learning 2.0: the gap between talking and doing

During the last years there is a lot of discussion about using social media to change educational and learning practice. Several keynote speakers at conferences like the Online Educa Berlin estimate the need to change the way we teach and learn, and tell about the great opportunities of new technology for different pedagogical approaches. Nevertheless: when people write and tell about their daily practice (in education and corporate learning), learning still seems to be very much '1.0'. Even a lot of attendees of the Online Educa Berlin seem not to believe in 'learning 2.0' (see the outcomes of the Clark-Sigman debate).Am I to pessimistic? If no: what are the real barriers for change in learning? And what can we do so we do not only talk and write about different ways of learning, but to transform education and corporate learning by using new technologies in a different way.

Het voorstel is de reviewers schijnbaar goed bevallen. Zij schrijven:

We have provided you with this early notification because your presentation strikes us as especially interesting for the conference programme and therefore we would like to include it in the ONLINE EDUCA BERLIN Pre-Conference Events & Conference Highlights brochure.
