Derailing Education: Taking Sidetrips for Learning

Bio
David Warlick is a 30 year educator, author, blogger, and Web 2.0 programmer. Since 1981, he has been using information and communication technologies to help people learn, young and old. When his school could not afford any software for it’s computers, he taught himself to program and wrote award-winning instructional games, before computers could even display in color. His blog postings are read around the world, and his free online web tools are accessed millions of times a week. At heart, David Warlick is a teacher, with a contagious passion and enthusiasm for helping people discover a brand new world of teaching and learning.

Thinking about Knowledge Building.


…if we always insisted on precise definitions we all would be speechless almost all the time. Definitions and precise theoretical constructs are the final product, not the starting point of inquiry. —Lawrence Weiskrantz (1988, p. 183)

This wiki explores just what we understand by “knowledge building” and “innovation” in education.

Get blogging

 

Check out the links to sites for Web 2.0-Blogging in the
Resources and Sharing Area down the left hand side



  • "Blogging made me see every one of my students as a writer - not an empty vessel - but first and foremost a writer - a thinker with unique ideas and thoughts, a person who can contribute to a meaningful conversation about our curriculum or, better yet, a person who can co-construct that curriculum through meaningful conversation, meaningful engagement in a class blogging community" Read the full blog entry by Konrad Glogowsky
