In my previous blog post, the architecture of learning, I outlined some of the key characteristics of learning in a digital age, and started to identify some of the main differences between Learning 1.0 (before social media) and Learning 2.0. In the summary of the article, I suggested that the distinct differences between the two types of learning are mostly based on how learners are changing the ways they interact, and their increased ability to create, share and organise their own learning. Learning 2.0 is socially much richer and more participatory, and relies more on interaction with other learners than any previous learning approach.

The Language Of The Maker Movement: 38 Terms For Teachers
As the maker movement in culture moves from MacGyver jokes and what Noah did when Allie left him in The Notebook to something with a bit more academic and cognitive credibility, it has also begun to creep in to the education space. As with any niche, there is specialized language–jargon–that may keep things murky for you. The 38 terms below by no means represent an exhaustive collection. (There are dozens of gadgets, circuit boards, and digital, robotic, and electrical wizardry we left on the cutting room flow.) But for most teachers in most circumstances, it should serve as a nice starting points.

He was known as an anarchist philosopher and an intellectual maverick. A former Roman Catholic priest, he was arguably one of the most outspoken and prescient of all the 20th century's critical theorists, and his work is increasingly influential and relevant in an age where technology has pervaded every aspect of our lives. Ivan Illich hoped for a time when the transmission model of education, or 'funnels', would be replaced by 'educational webs' - his notion of what we now recognise as social networks.
