6. What are we using at Deusto?

7. How to improve communication and interaction?
How to improve education?

8. Two opposing points
of view

9. LMS vs Web 2.0

10. Institutional vs. DIY (Edupunk?)

11. Structured vs. flexible

12. Concentrated vs. distributed

13. Top-down vs. bottom-up

14. Formal vs. non-formal

15. Located vs. ubiquitous

16. Store vs. utility

17. Cathedral vs. Bazaar

18. Constructivism vs. Connectivism

19. Should I stay
or should I go?
The Clash, 1981

20. Let's try the Edupunk way!

21. Education 2.0: a
positive experience

22. Less lectures, more collaborative work

23. Teachers: from masters to DJs

24. No textbook

25. – Beyond physical boundaries
– "Why should I go back to school and
– interrupt my education?"

26. – The teacher is not
– the only yardstick anymore

27. – The teacher is not the only
– available data source anymore

28. – Microblogging & Desktop widgets =
– real-time participation

29. Problems

30. Lack of order
Information dispersion > confusion

31. Digital competency:
master RSS aggregation and social
bookmarking services

32. Lack of control:
technical and social level

33. Privacy and arbitrary limits

34. Let's play 1984 game:
wink.com, spock.com, peekyou.com,
pipl.com, 123people.es, yasni.com

35. Scope confusion
don't even try it ;-)

37. Social networks designed for leisure
(or procrastination)

38. Solutions

39. Current solution: wiki + group blogs +
personal blogs + microblogging

40. Wiki (local, private): collaborative work +
practice wiki-syntax + arrangement

41. Wiki activity (Spring 2008 & 2009)

42. Blog planet = group +
personal blogs (virtual portfolios)

43. Twitter (public) & Yammer (private)

44. Microblogging + real-time desklet

45. Future plans

46. LMS + PLE + Web 2.0 services
Content- Student- Social
centred centred
Structure Custom Flexibility
Moodle Mahara 2.0
Widgets

47. Conclusions

48. Education 2.0 is more than just adding
technology to education

49. RSS is the “lingua franca” of the web,
Education 2.0 must be fluent in RSS

50. One size doesn't fit all
Identify learner's main features

51. Google Wave Protocol?
Testing platforms already available

52. Thank you for your
attention
