what is Lecturer2.0 ?

A.K.A…..

prof. 2.0

LOR lectures here………..

and works there………..

Sometimes as well

lecturing far away………..

August 3rd will lecture at lovely professional university………..

August 4th will already be in vacation in switzerland with the family

and here………..

LOR’s academic network are here ………..

so LOR has to find way’s of working in a global team, in different time zone's and with people he has never met……..

this is one LOR’s academic partners……..

Andrew Pincon, but he calls him

Hermes

LOR subscribes to ‘Hermes’

wiki via an RSS feed

He feels like he knows him real well, and always knows what he’s thinking and where the company is heading.

he’s never met Hermes in person

his partners subscribes to it via an RSS feed

his students subscribe to it via an RSS feed

130 people he doesn’t know subscribe to it via an RSS feed

they all feel like they know him and his project real well

LOR also has his own project wiki

that’s less work for LOR…..

collaborative documentation…

For larger projects, LOR uses Sharepoint in a cloud environment

….and empowerment for the

users

For web enhanced lecturing as well as elearning, LOR uses moodle

And Second Life

In Second Life LOR collaborates as well with the Weabheads on English language teaching

LOR stores & tags all his key presentations on slideshare

….everyone can see them….and he can see everyone else’s

Some are more and some less

important What is relevant and what is not decided the crowd

his tags highlight his interests & stuff he’s keeping an eye on

he can see who else is interested in the same things by

exploring

tags

this is Dr. BK Passi

LOR’s colleague & mentor

Collaborating with AIAER in India

Dr. Passi normally has lots to say………

so he creates audio podcasts which are aggregated throughout the company

when a new podcast is available from Dr. Passi’s blog.....

LOR is notified via RSS

……….he then downloads, listens it on his iphone & syndicates the podcast on his own wiki

LOR has of course a LinkedIn profile……

….so does his boss, his other boss, his colleagues ...

….and most of his friends, academic colleagues and thinktank

….in fact, that’s how he got the Grenoble assignments. Using a Social Network to find contacts and opportunities.

I know somebody who should know you

….if people don’t know what you can do…..why would they ask you to do it?

LOR say’s……..

advertise yourself!

..social networking is not just for

kids!

from his tags, his blog, his wiki entries and his LinkedIn profile………

Students, teacher colleagues, even teachers that LOR has never before met often

contact LOR from different schools and countries……..

…just to say Hi….or to say, hey, I work on a similar project, how can we collaborate…?

it’s about collaboration

18 months ago LOR was using these tools …..

all on his desktop….

today LOR uses these tools …..

all through his

browser….

today LOR accesses …..

all through his mobile devices….

..ask LOR what his favourite piece of educational tools are ………..?

if you were to…….

..he’d give it some thought………

..and say it was a trick question………

..and answer with………

Google Chrome

..as LOR uses his favourite browser for almost any app

..ask LOR what

Education2.0 is………..?

..he’d say he

hates buzz words………

..but it’s most definately

Social Software within the firewall…….

..easy to use software

web based

bottom up, not top down

less feature bloat, more

GETTHINGSDONE

blogswiki’s podcastssocial networking online collaboration

..they all have a social element

..they are all browser based…

..But there is a much larger shift than just a technological one

..there is a radical shift in how things are DONE, how we live, learn, work…

WEB2.0

Is it relevant? To who, to business? To educational institutes YES VERY SURE

YES as an educator, you must be aware of what is changing around you in mindset, capacities and technologies

What is it all about, lets first go back in history, back in the dark ages of the internet

Some 5 years back before..

Web1.O

Web 1.0 was for specialists, for huge serves who knew what is

good for US.

Remeber?

Simple Corporate Websites

But then first very slow

Something started to change the Web as we knew it

Who would have ever thought they’d go from uploading this video on April 23, 2005, to selling the site to Google for $1.65 billion just 18 months later.

MUCH MORE, THE WEB COULD BE SMART

But there is more

As seen there are new technologies which define the Internet as it will be in the future (means tomorrow)

But those technologies already today lead to new business models and a huge shift in society

We better make sure we prepare our students for this (or make sure our teachers can follow them )

Tim Berners-Lee: The next Web of open, linked data

• 20 years ago, Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web. For his next project, he's building a web for open, linked data that could do for numbers what the Web did for words, pictures, video: unlock our data and reframe the way we use it together.

The Symantic Web is already here

Lor tip of the dayGood read, search for it online

MUCH MORE, THE PEOPLE ARE SMART

But there is even more

BUT ONLY IF HE/SHE IS PREPARED WELL FROM OUR EDUCATION SYSTEMS TO UNDERSTAND THE FORCES BEHIND BUSINESS2.0

Much more for preparing students for new businessesOut there are many more 1Million $ ideas waiting to be picked and implemented

The crowd is ready to work.

It started as so many times with some 16 / 17 year old NET GEN people, Not accepting or perhaps just not

knowing on how it has been done the last 100 years and how it should never have changed (as they might have

been told in class). They just wanted to make money, but all they had was an idea and some technical skills to

build a simple website, Today they are multiple millionaires, just some 3 years later

Crowdsourcing" has, virtually overnight, generated huge buzz, enthusiasm, and fear. It's the application of the open-source idea to any field outside of software, taking a function performed by people in an organization, such as reporting done by journalists, research and product development by scientists, or design of a T-shirt, for example, and, in effect, "outsourcing" it through an open-air broadcast on the Internet. Crowdsourcing has already had a huge impact on big companies like Procter & Gamble, as well as start-ups like Threadless.com, which rapidly became the third largest T-shirt maker in the United States. The fuel sparking the crowdsourcing flame is the potent combination of more highly educated people working in fields other than those in which they were trained with the greatest mechanism for distributing knowledge and information the world has ever seen: the Internet.

The RATE everything And everybody

Because their parents have coddled them, they are adrift in the world and afraid to choose a path.

They steal. They violate intellectual property rights, download music, swap songs, and share anything they can on peer-to-peer networks with no respect for the rights of the creators or owners.

They’re bullying friends online.They’re violent.

They have no work ethic and will be bad employees.

This is the latest narcissistic “me” generation.

They don’t give a damn.

Teach them how to find, make sense of, and use relevant information

Give them the ability to find and use information with critical discrimination in order to build knowledge.

You can help them understand the power of images and sounds

Fact is

•They are already there! We better follow (as peer, supervisor, in building your company and in dealing with your customers AND as your

STUDENTS)

How to do?

• The Net Gen generations were influenced by the events of 9/11 and school shootings such as Columbine. They have been told that Social Security may not exist for them and have watched pensions and work security evaporate for their parents. Consequently, they are more loyal to colleagues and co-workers than to a company or manager. Work/life balance is extremely important for this group and they don’t want to sacrifice family time for career. This group LOVES technology and are considered technological natives. They grew up with it and are extremely talented at adopting new technology into their lives.

The Net Gen generations presently make up 100% of students and about 51% of the workforce. This will increase to over 70% in the next ten years as Boomers begin retiring. But many people in management are Boomers with years of experience who may struggle with the Net Gen generations and their priorities.

Offer flexibility and study at home/ virtual/ anywhere options• The old model that a person has to be in a

seat at the office just isn’t valid anymore. That model was based on time rather than production. The emerging workforce is focused on results, not appearing busy to impress the boss. Smart companies are growing through a virtual workforce; no office space, equipment expense, or commuting. Staffs are paid on a project or production scale. Prepare your students for this!

Avoid micromanaging

• These employees are use to working and learning independently. They work to contribute and are adverse to a chain of command. Set the parameters and then get out of their way. NetGen’s are fast, efficient, and not likely to waste time. Ensure to cover this style of working in class

Embrace technology

• To have any other framework will make you and/or your business look foolish. US Republican candidate, John McCain, discovered this last year when he described himself as a “computer illiterate” who had never gone online. He not only looks old, he appears out of it. Unfortunately, many executives and business leaders are also like this and don’t understand consumer desires because they are not plugged in. I guess no need to tell to Singapore

Encourage creativity

• The traditional workplace often treated people like machines. But if you look at many of today’s most successful companies, they are the result of creativity by a couple of people. Whether Twitter.com or Spreadshirt, there are business opportunities for new products and services. Creativity has yet to become a significant research theme in Singapore, the study of creativity seems to be influenced by current educational interests, and that creativity has not been a major theme in the main textbooks written for teachers.

Build relationships• Since this generation connects with

colleagues and friends, evaluate how your business encourages critical connections. Are there any opportunities for socializing at work or after work? Smart companies establish softball teams, bowling teams, company picnics, and support groups for new mothers, and allow facebook at work etc. to encourage interaction, networking and teamwork. Ensure the usage of wiki, collab tools and even facebook in your curriculum

What ever business you are in

• Check your educational institute if it supports those drivers and NetGen employees

• Ensure that you embrace some/most/all of those ideas and new way‘s of doing things

• Dare to break rules, become a DJ of edcuation, dare to dare

• Education needs an update to Education2.0

QUOTE

• It‘s not about matching traditional models with existing tools anymore; it‘s about developing a brand-new pedagogical model and implemnting the NEXTGen Web environment upon it
