John Fallon - How to solve the great edtech challenge
Earlier today our CEO John Fallon delivered the closing keynote address at Microsoftâs Global Learning Forum. He used the platform to describe the power that technology can have to transform global education standards, why it has so far failed to live up to its potential, and why the solution calls for the worldâs technologists, entrepreneurs and educators to join together under a common purpose.

It is very inspiring to have the privilege of spending some time with so many talented and committed people from so many countries all around the world â all focused on tackling one of the biggest challenges facing our societies and our economies. We may all describe that challenge a little differently but we all know what it is â can we apply technology to help us double the amount of really deep, high value learning in our societies at no greater cost?

âIn a recent consultantâs report, in a section where the discussion focused on online degree programs, the report noted that 34% of the masterâs degrees in education are earned through online education. Iâm not surprised and I fully expect that this number will exceed 50% within the next five years. What is surprising to me is that there is still so much resistance to this inevitable trend.â

Online Discussions. 'Build It and They Will Come' doesn't apply here...

One of the most common areas in which I see this, is through the introduction of online discussion forums in the VLE. So many times Iâve seen a forum plonked in a course with no direction; barely a âsparkâ to encourage discussion/debate; and seldom any meaningful reflection. Are our students really expected to engage with that?

Digital social networking is a game changer in the learning landscape. It is an invention that amounts in its importance and usefulness to the big inventions that marked all mankind history. In ancient times, cultures, in the absence of any established sign language to encode its content, were orally based. Storytelling was the major vehicle to pass on the human legacy from one generation to the other. Stories constituted the basis of collective learning and now with this rapid uptake of social media networks and their widespread , the notion of collective learning has been revived. There are several communities and affinity spaces where people get to meet and learn from each other irrespective of their geographical locations, race, ethnicity, and gender. The web is teeming with professional learning networks that span a wide variety of disciplines and interests and that, so often, open to anybody to jump in and participate in knowledge building. The potential of social networking sites in education is huge and we need to capitalize on it to enhance our professional development and consequently improve the quality of our instruction. Searching for articles on this topic , I came across Doug Johnson's post on the 10 social media competencies for teachers. I like the competencies Doug included and decided to make an infographic featuring all of these skills.  Have a look and share with your colleagues. I spent several hours working on this infograhic, If you like it and want to use it on your blog or website please credit Educational Technology and Mobile Learning.
Fewer than 20 percent of teachers use social media in the classroom, although most do personally.
"With social media becoming more popular in the last few years, it's often uncharted territory for teachers and they often have not set boundaries for its use," says Kathy Cook, the university's director of educational technology. "The line [between personal and professional] can become more blurred."
