Purpose of this Blog

Hello! The purpose of this Blog is to chronicle my learning in EDER 679 - User Centered Design 1 and II. . It is my hope that blogging about my thoughts will help me to form deeper understandings and make more connections in my learning. In large part, this Blog is personal in nature. However, I also hope that by participating in the community of the class that others will benefit from my thinking, as I will no doubt benefit from theirs as I visit their blogs. By engaging in this blog I hope to "construct and augment my own understanding of the content socially through conversations" (Seely Brown, 2002). This blog constitutes a learning medium through which I hope understandings will be not only socially constructed, but also shared ... knowledge creation in action!

Be sure to see the "Purpose/Mission Statement in Detail" page of this blog for a more detailed description.

21st Century Learners

After our discussion in class on Monday I came across a video that fit nicely with our conversations, called "A Vision of K-12 Students Today":






I think that the quote below, from the video, captures much of what we envisioned for 21st century learners.

"Students will use engaging technologies in collaborative, inquiry-based learning environments with teachers who are willing and able to use technology's power to assist them in transforming knowledge and skills into products, solutions, and new information."
