Flip Your Classroom? Introducing Your Personal 10 Point Tech Plan
From Knowledgeable to Knowledge-Able in New Media Environments
Presenter: Michael Wesch
Edmodo Group KSW694
Michael Wesch
Cultural Anthropologist, Researcher in Digital Ethnography, and Associate Professor, Kansas State University
New media create new types of conversation, exchange, and collaboration. But the promise of such developments are not without disruption and peril. This presentation will explore what is at stake, what is possible, and how we need to create new learning environments that allow our students and ourselves as teachers and researchers to move beyond simply being knowledgeable to being knowledge-able (able to find, sort, analyze, criticize, create, and collaborate) in new media environments.

The presenter is one of a small number of teachers who regularly work with both iOS- and Android-powered devices, and who also test Google's Cr-48 Chrome OS-powered laptop.

Arrived at FETC 2012!
I just pulled into the Rosen Centre across the street from the Orange County Convention Center. For all who are attending the FETC 2012 event, please join me tonight (Tuesday) or tomorrow for a gathering of Lutheran educators who also happen to use technology tools. We'll debrief our first or second day at FETC and compare notes on what we're doing in our schools.
Again, it's in the Rosen Centre lounge. If you email me, I'll send you my cell number so we can meet up. Just let me know your name, which school you're from, and I'll send you the info.
Email: fetcflga@gmail.com
I hope to see you this week!
