Moving from Sage to Guide
| Title: Curatorial Teaching - Moving beyond "Guide on the Side" | Presenter: David Elliott |
| Description of Session: We need new metaphors for teaching that capture learning and teaching in this new digital world. Curatorial Teaching has been suggested as a model based loosely on the role of the curator of museums. We will have a discussion on what that might mean and how it might practically work. | |
| Links, Files, Resources: The best way to jump start this conversation is to look at a short video by George Siemens. Curatorial Teaching - 10 Min video Elluminate Version of Talk The nature of Curatorial Teaching can we create performance tasks that become public - they become an exhibit. Guide on Side better that Sage on the Stage. Online connection are great ways to connect but not able to do so in schools. Challenge achieve a centralised outcome but we need to do this through a decentralised means. There needs to be an erosion of the authority of distributed means of knowledge creation. The key structures of the discipline is essential but through the multiple layers through different modalities so they can see the content through different perspectives and make meaning. Dave Riely Open Content Course. (can some one edit this and provide link?) Curator - allows young people to come through the exhibition and allows the students to go where they will or do you direct then? Putting together the resources - he is the expert - he knows the field and newcomers find benefit from engagement and dialog. Metaphor: Teacher = network administrator for future learning. Speculate what this would look like in the specialism you deal with Setting out student exemplars and present them to students and allow them to build networks to create learning - or an instance of curatorial teaching. Jekyll & Hyde Bring aspects of Victorian History medical procedures it is about a moment in history and an exploration of good and evil and how it manifests itself - the manifestation of religion and sickness as it was known - how do you as a teacher help them build their network. Kids in the class - coming together and discussing different lives in Vic England, and beyond the laid out artifacts building their own links and very possibly will go beyond. You have the essential question and they have networks - no walls - how do you bring them back Possibility - each as they explore the novel take perspective of the character i.e. trial, newspaper reporter, - make a video Lanuage - Internet provides lots of resources and the need to find a linear process to learn form a beginning stage. Flooding it can be too much - the teacher can simplify. Always a balance take them out of the chaos and make clear the concepts and then return. They have to tie up the basics before they can go on. Put words and constructs together - make short audio or video demonstrating so they can get to go beyond. You have the linearity and then the opportunity to go out. - 1. "Immersion is a waste of time if the basics are not there". David - You need the building stones first and then its how you build the networks. However you build those networks what are you looking for - how do you know you are succeeding? 1. "Hanging things on a tree. They can pick it up and put it where it needs to go. If they don't they have nowhere to put it." 2. Kids learn in different ways. Art versus Linear process 1. Agree that kids learn differently not all learn through immersion. Learning styles and preferences dictate that sort of networks that are built. Language Learning What would be a performance task by adding to the museum - they have to write and imaginary journeys to an imaginary country. Where do we fit in this new world - We provide the wisdom, we are the guides, how do they learn and evaluate. Very easy to make misinterpretations in exploratory science which are valid but fundmentally wrong. Virtually every science experiement is now on YouTube. Insights: How would you talk about Curatorial Teaching How kids use constructivism (maybe this should be 'Social Constructivism') to build their connections to learning ? | |
