What’s Your Digital World View?
The Keynote session today was fantastic and included lots of areas for discussion and consideration… if only Janine had had more time!
I was particularly interested in her slides on Digital World View - as it’s an area I have been thinking about quite alot. As someone who has interacted with the digital world for pretty much my whole life, my digital world view is closely aligned with my world view in general. But what about educators and learners who are new to e-Learning and online tools?
How does your digital world view inform your teaching practice?
Janine has offered us an intersting definition:
World View: refers to the framework of ideas and beliefs through which an individual interprets the world and interacts in it. (from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_view )
- How we interact with the world and individuals is influenced by our world view
- In education we seek to expand a learner’s world view so that they have a broader outlook, are (hopefully) more tolerant, and better able to deal with change
What about a “digital world-view”?
Possible definition….. refers to the framework of ideas and beliefs through which an individual interprets the digital world and interacts in it
- Digital world – digital media, devices and environments with which humans interact?
- Is a digital world-view just a digital lens through which your general world view is passed?
- Can one be disconnected from the other?
