The Socially Networked Classroom
Autor William Kisten Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 oct 2009
Adresată profesorilor din învățământul gimnazial și liceal, precum și coordonatorilor educaționali, The Socially Networked Classroom oferă o metodologie aplicată pentru integrarea rețelelor sociale în procesul de predare, indiferent de competențele tehnice ale cadrului didactic. Considerăm că valoarea principală a acestei lucrări rezidă în abordarea pragmatică a alfabetizării digitale, transformând utilizarea ecranelor dintr-o distragere într-un instrument pedagogic activ. Remarcăm structura ingenioasă a capitolelor, care folosește metafora dimensiunilor de cafea — de la „Short” la „Venti” — pentru a ghida cititorul prin scenarii diverse: de la medii cu resurse tehnologice minime până la săli de clasă cu acces nelimitat la internet. Cartea nu se rezumă la teorie, ci furnizează resurse gata de utilizat, precum rubrici de evaluare și modele de scrisori către părinți.
Comparabil cu The Networked Library de Melissa A. Purcell în rigurozitatea cu care aliniază tehnologia la standardele educaționale, volumul lui William Kist se distinge prin accentul pus pe vocea practicienilor, integrând postări reale de blog ale profesorilor care au testat aceste metode. În contextul operei sale, această carte continuă direcția stabilită în Curating a Literacy Life, unde autorul explora conceptul de curatare a conținutului digital, însă aici se concentrează pe mecanismele specifice de colaborare prin wiki-uri, bloguri și nings. Stilul este direct și aplicat, facilitând o tranziție lină către pedagogia secolului XXI prin exemple concrete de bune practici în eticheta online și siguranța datelor.

Descriere scurtă
Ashbury College, Canada
'I loved this book. I learned a great deal about 'texts' and about how to teach 'texts' to students in the digital age. But what was so compelling about this book was the genuineness of the author; he cares passionately about his students and passionately about the subject matter. As Dewey points out, effective education must have an emotional component; indeed, the book's credibility and authority derives from its core emotional energy' - Elliot Soloway, Arthur F. Thurnau Professor
University of Michigan, Ann Arbor
'This book is totally compelling and geared to a slice of the teaching profession that is in desperate need of the kind of guidance and insight that Kist offers. By sharing his creative teaching methods, he points out the openings in teachers' practice where shift can happen' - Sue Collins, Integration Technology Specialist, Bedford Public Schools, MA
Secondary school students are increasingly plugged in to social networking sites outside of school, but inside the classroom such functions of the web are often ignored. In The Socially Networked Classroom: Teaching in the New Media Age, William Kist identifies and documents the processes of teaching and learning via social networking in the new-media classroom.
This book broadens the debate around what constitutes literacy as it tackles practical tasks for educators that include:
- Documenting the assignments, assessments, and outcomes of instruction in networked classrooms
- Categorizing the classrooms into levels of Web 2.0 applications
- Illustrating how the new assignments can be used to address classic classroom questions
Recenzii
"The innovative classroom activities in this engaging book will inspire teachers to help students acquire digital-media literacies for collaborating on and sharing their work—literacies essential for participation in a networked world."
"A veritable smorgasbord of ideas and suggestions. This text grabbed me right away, and I started flagging all sorts of ideas even in the earliest chapters. It is as if Bill Kist met me in the hallway, took me by the hand, and simply said, 'Come here, I want to show you something.'"
"This book marks our place in the whirlwind transformation of Internet technology that launched users in a surprisingly sudden (and often unnoticed) leap from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0. Kist shows educators both a mirror and a map, explaining where we are and where we might go in this vastly rich frontier of knowledge and learning. The paths he shows us spill into layered networks of inter-crossing connections and intersections—a true 'web' of knowledge—replacing old, tired, and narrow paths."
"I loved this book. I learned a great deal about 'texts' and about how to teach 'texts' to students in the digital age.

"This book is totally compelling and geared to a slice of the teaching profession that is in desperate need of the kind of guidance and insight that Kist offers. By sharing his creative teaching methods, he points out the openings in teachers’ practice where shift can happen."
"This book is the push that many educators need to seriously think about why and how they 'do' technology in schools and implement the changes necessary to ensure our students are networked and connected 21st-century learners. It should be in the hands of all teachers and teacher-librarians."
