Fueled by adrenaline from the early-morning keynote debate, I got the enormous NECC stage to myself to make a presentation called, “Learning Adventures<\/em>: Transforming Real and Virtual Learning<\/em> Environments<\/em>” The video of that presentation has finally appeared online and I am most grateful that ISTE filmed the session at such a high level of quality. I am enormously proud of this presentation and am thrilled that my mouth worked pretty well that morning, June 30th, 2009.<\/p>\n

As I’ve said in other contexts, I’ve been online since 1983 and have taught online since the late 1980s. Therefore, I look upon the euphoria and controversy accorded “online learning” like a fish looks at water. It just isn’t that interesting to me that people communicate online. I expect it. I depend upon it. Everybody does it, right?<\/p>\n

My work is driven by how adults can create the productive contexts for learning in which every human may enjoy the widest array of deep experiences that hold the potential of resulting in the construction of knowledge and a happy life.<\/p>\n

It seems cruelly ironic that the viability of school as a “technology” is dependent on the very activities and disciplines (band, choir, drama, studio art, laboratory science, etc…) that schools cut first. Could this just be a manifestation of the phenomena Seymour Papert described in his 1990 speech, “Perestroika and Epistemological Pluralism?<\/a>”<\/p>\n

This NECC spotlight session captures many of my thoughts about how online education rarely reaches its potential and my struggle to transform my own teaching online to reflect the most learner-centered, non-coercive, creative principles of face-to-face education while using what I’ve learned online to inform my real-world teaching.<\/p>\n

I sure hope you will take the time to watch it! (and perhaps even blog a bit)<\/p>\n

NECC 2009 Learning Adventures<\/a> from Gary Stager<\/a> on Vimeo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My most sincere apologies to David Perkins<\/a> for being unable to remember the correct title of his terrific new book, Making Learning Whole – How Seven Principles of Teaching Can Transform Education<\/a>. I highly recommend that educators familiarize themselves of Perkins’ important work.<\/p>\n

PS: I’ve learned that if I’m on a stage that large, I need a monitor at the front of the stage and to walk around less. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
