Steven Anderson (@web20classroom) has a lot to say about the connected educator. On the #authorspeak Twitter hashtag today there was a lot of commentary about connected educators.

There has been a lot of discussion recently about the personalisation of education. The sticking point is that most education is publicly funded, the state has a major stake in how it's conducted, and therefore dictates what should be taught in schools. This is universal education, and if one size does not fit all.

Previous posts in this series tracked the development of educational technology over 40 years. I first started working in the field of educational technology in January 1976, at a time when technology was used more for teaching than it was for learning.

There is also a belief that, just as the music industry of the late 1970s was stagnating, so the education system of the early 21st Century is in need of a reboot. Punk rock revitalised the 70s music scene and, say its adherents, Edupunk can do the same today with our tired education system. Unported License.

I'm a strong advocate of student centred learning. I can't see any other way education can be conceived. One of the things I discovered is that students create their own pathways - or desire lines - through their learning experiences. It is the role of educators to support these pathways.

Much has been written recently about personalised learning. Many educators agree that one size does not fit all and that student centred learning is what we should all aspire to. The Horizon team predict that a widespread adoption of these technologies - in the context of higher education - is no more than 4-5 years away.

Although the production of content has been the preserve of the teacher and the academic since the formalisation of education, increasingly, we also see learners creating their own content. They have the tools, they own the technology, and they have the confidence to use them, not only informally, but increasingly in formal learning contexts.

The present technology rich learning environment is characterised by a sustained use of digital media, their integration into formal contexts, and a shift toward personalisation of learning. These facets of modern life in combination have led educators to question the validity of pre-digital age learning theories.
