La transformación digital no es dotar de herramientas y tecnología para mejorar el trabajo. Es transformación y adaptación al cambio.
Necesita de la empatía de las personas. Necesita de conversaciones.

Currently, dramatic changes take place in terms of rapidly emerging modes of communication, technologies, increased cultural diversity, evolving workplaces cultures, new challenges for equitable education and the varying and changing identities of students everywhere. Bearing this in mind, this article draws on a design-based research study to argue of the need for museums to respond to global trends and fulfill their social and educational imperatives by investigating the potential of a particular pedagogical framework that is grounded in culturally inclusive pedagogical practices and characteristics of ubiquitous learning.

A useful resource on appropriate implementation of educational technology and its practical implications for students. This empirically-based study, indicates that addressing museum-based multiliteracies within a blended learning environment can be meaningful for ubiquitous learning.

In this article, a design-based research approach is presented, which utilizes multiliteracies pedagogy to support ubiquitous learning during the design of a student-generated virtual museum. The findings from implementing the museum-school synergy, indicate that there is potential for beneficial ubiquitous learning experiences for students when theory-based practice is undertaken.

In this vast digital age, there is more information available than can ever possibly be processed, and the way that students vet this data is incredibly important. While the internet has opened up the world in amazing and beautiful ways, it has also skewed the way information is obtained. Instant knowledge, or perceived knowledge, is available as soon as kids are old enough to type in a computer password or swipe the lock screen of a tablet or smartphone.

The most interesting part of this video for me was to hear the teacher describe how much more interested the students are knowing they were going to use the interactive whiteboard versus looking for something in a book. Living in Africa, I have mixed feelings about this due to the limited resources we have here. But this video is definitely a must watch for someone who has no experience with technology in their classroom.

It's wonderful to see just how engaging and effective interactive technology can be in the music classroom. It would be a dream come true to have such a set up in my classroom one day. I particularly liked the free-space setup as I truly believe music should be an active class, not one that is constantly restricted behind desks.

"Creating a safe recreation space for teens; protoyping a recyclable lunch tray; setting up a water delivery system to guard against urban fires; building a public awareness campaign to combat hunger. These are just a few of examples of the types of tasks students are taking on when they participate in the Design Learning Challenge, an effort to get students to figure out how to solve real-world problems in their communities.
"Combining project-based learning, with an emphasis on the arts and design thinking, this academic competition now in its third year — a partnership between the Industrial Designers Society of America, or IDSA, and the National Art Education Association, or NAEA — has more than 750 students participating this year."

The website focuses on design thinking, 21st century learning skills, design learning research, curriculum frameworks, project based learning and engaging today’s students.

This is the background information for competitions that are coordinated between designers and educators to promote students thinking about how to solve real world problems using design. There are links provided to sample problems and challenges suited for Prep to Year 4 levels as well as more in depth concepts for high school students, such as designing jobs for 2050. Interesting read and plenty of information to be explored.

"How do you get Google to visit your small, remote island group with its Street View vehicles, and digitize your roads for the benefit of locals and tourists alike? If you are the Faroe Islands, then you exploit your local resources to roll your own Street View, in the hopes of attracting Google's attention. Behold: Sheep View 360, a solar-powered 360-degree camera, mounted on a sheep's back. Sheep View takes advantage of one great Street View feature: You can upload your own images to Google's service. So Durita Dahl Andreassen, working for the tourist site Visit Faroe Islands, decided to kick-start the Faroe Islands' entry by putting the camera on a sheep and letting it wander free, then uploading the photos."

This is such a rich story; using technology in a pre-industrial way to exploit the attractions of an isolated set of islands. This could make a marvelous multi-disciplinary inquiry and I can just imagine students mounting cameras on their pets to tell the stories of their neighborhoods.
