Imagining the present - Breuleux

complex reality of ICT education in VET is that it is the educators decisions and action

Technology is not what boosts education is it the 'collective project of educational communities.

Need to move beyond asking about the impact and outcomes .....

this is an expression of the current paradigm and different versions reflect different emphasises and different perspectives ....... it is about discourse

Need to reconfigure

Current convergent of support for social construction of knowledge ie knowledge comes from active collaborative process .....

MORE POWERFUL OPTIONS

'if we integrated well designed technologies in context of meaningful, projects, pedgogies, acces s to resources and tools and support for technological maintenance

Changes for leaners

Speaks of sets of transitions : ???

Current alignment of reform and technology offers array of learning experiences

Difference of networks - more people, different voices and perspectives, inside and outside,

LEARNING IS A PROCESS of DEVELOPING THE COMPETENCE, THE ROLES AND THE RESPONSIBILITIES TO BE A FULL PARTICIPANT IN A SOCIALLY MEANINGFUL COMMUNITY, ( P4)


What do educators do?
new technologies are meaning constructive pedagogies - renewal???

Cointerpretation - CoP

Notion of impact - misleading - different kind of relationships between technology and education.

Better to talk about EMERGING PRACTICES ' coming from the reciprocal relationships between new technologies and the actural uses that people develop for these tools' These practices need to be seen, recognised, cultivated and interpreted ' . ( p6)

Strong call for imagining the present ' which can offer us glimpses of how things can be...
Develop a capacity to read and tell the present

Call for it to be everyones responsibility - COLLECTIVE,COLLABORATIVE PROJECT

Case studies that look at context and perspective

RESEARCHERS TEND TO UNDERESTIMATE THE KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED TO IMPLEMENT - FULLAN QUOTE

Constructive dialogue
