Preparing Elementary Students for Networked Learning
The Read/Write Web is making it easy to build and sustain personal learning environments in ways that were impossible just a few years ago. There is little question that for our students to flourish in their life's work, they will have to be literate at creating, growing and navigating these potentially powerful networks of connected lifelong learners. The foundation for that capability must be created at young ages. This session will explore these new network literacies, look at some examples of how younger students are beginning to understand these shifts, and give an overview of the tools and pedagogies that are appropriate for the early grades.
