  1. Heading home from #rebootbritain. Best bit: @leebryant. Worst: no coffee when I needed it most!

  3. #rebootbritain Rheingold: http://socialmediaclassroom...
  4. #rebootbritain Rheingold: modern societies need to assess what works and doesn't in terms of engaging students in learning
  5. #rebootbritain Rheingold: "an *audience* is passive - a *public* can...join you in collective action"
  6. #rebootbritain Rheingold: there's been so much bad info re kids & the internet, most parents have been frightened to death
  7. #rebootbritain Rheingold: learn to sample the flow - you don't need to read everything
  8. #rebootbritain Rheingold: you've got to know how not to be boring if you want to be useful
  9. #rebootbritain Rheingold: twitter's a great example of a medium that doesn't teach you how to use it
  10. #rebootbritain Rheingold - 'network society' is a better description than 'information society'
  11. #rebootbritain Rheingold: social capital knowhow = the ability to get things done without going through official channels (e.g. twestival)

  14. #rebootbritain Rheingold - direct line from BBSs in the 80s to today's broadband social media
  15. #rebootbritain Rheingold - how many boring blogs/twitter accounts attest to the fact that "just participating" isn't enough?
  16. #rebootbritain Rheingold - critical thinking probably won't be taught in schools as it encourages kids to challenge authority
  17. #rebootbritain: Attention - Rheingold asks students to close laptops and their eyes during lectures. [Feel a bit guilty for tweeting now :)]
  18. #rebootbritain Rheingold: Teach your kids to ask 2 Qs: how do you pluck the answer out of the air, and how do you know it's accurate?
  19. #rebootbritain Rheingold: 21st C literacies= Attention, Participation, Cooperation, Critical Consumption (crap detection), Network Awareness
  20. #rebootbritain Loving Howard Rheingold's Haight-Ashbury-style jacket and t-shirt
