Dimensions+of+Learning

=Dimensions of Learning One - Attitudes and Perceptions= Yesterday I was at a e-space session at NTOEC - where I met a teacher during the tea break who after inquiring about the session informed me that they "hate the espace". Espace has hardly taken off in the NT in any great way - why not? it is a powerful piece of software, hardly something to "hate". So, I am thinking the passion is around the social practices, mindsets about using, interacting with these technologies ( I have heard similar "hate" stories about the portal for example). Spaces such as espace disrupt what we currently do. (Interactive Whiteboards (IWBs) affirm current pedagogical practices which is why there is easy take-up).

This disruption is also echoed in a comment from a colleague visiting a Web 2.0 site - "There was nothing new so I didn't go back". this mindset operates from knowing websites as sources of infomation - Web 2.0 challenges digital immigrants to understand and interact with these sites as places to **actively put information**, and **create knowledge together.**

On a scale of 0-10 how disrupted do you want to be (0=not at all. 10 = all the way)?

Why disrupt what we are currently doing?

Dimensions of Learning Two - Acquire and Integrate Knowledge
Being involved in this wiki space is DoL 2 in action.

It inquires - what practices are we already involved in? How do we feel about these? Are they working, now and in the long term?

In ** Declarative Knowledge ** this wiki space organises ideas around clarifying and **developing concepts**, generalisations and operating principles. vocab and definitions are identified and added to.

In **Procedural Knowledge** we develop **skills** in using Web 2.0 technologies.
