I write this as I travel to Birmingham to participate in a panel discussion with Nick Shackleton-Jones and Robin Hoyle on the role of social media in learning.

Learning should always come before technology. Many teachers welcome the idea of bringing new technology into the classroom. Ideas range from games based learning , to the use of social media and networking, to simpler approaches such as the use of digital cameras in art or data logging in science. Let me elaborate.

That''s quite an apt result because Google and many of the other large, supposedly ''free'' social media tools are very much focused on making money to sustain their operations. Nor is it about the morality of social media companies. But this post is not about money. Finally, CoPs are usually something you subscribe into.

I’ve been working with a number of organisations recently as they’ve been making the move “into social”, and one thing was clear, that “helping” their people with this didn’t require old-school training. Of course, helping them how to use the technology could be partly approached in this way – but even that wasn’t quite the same.

The legacy of this theory is that many teachers continue to trot out the same old line that students are ''natives'' whilst they, being older and less familiar with technology, are ''immigrants.'' His argument is that the use of digital technologies is not about when you were born, but about what tools you decide to use most often.
