Below is the problem statement, I am going with.<br />
<br />
The problem is that students enrolled in online courses fail to effectively take ownership of their learning experience because technology tools are not being focused on developing metacognitive skills. If anyone runs across any relevant data- put me on!<br />
<br />
Thanks

Developing a problem statement. Looking for a direction for my ARP. I would like to focus on developing metcognitive skills using technology.<br />

A portion of this post is a response to a class discussion, addressing the idea of using social networking tools in a standard classroom setting. My classmate didn't think it was a good idea to incorporate these technologies in the standard learning process. Technology such as Twitter and other social networking technologies used in the classroom can "possibly" disrupt the standard learning process. An <a href="http://chronicle.com/wiredcampus/article/3705/professor-encourages-students-to-pass-notes-during-class-via-twitter">article</a> I read suggested that disrupting the learning process can help facilitate a new approach to learning. The assumption is that unpredictable consequences, if encouraged in the proper setting, may give way to a new learning model. I guess this approach is similar to the business model which suggests that unformatted feedback from a target audience can lead to the discovery of an innovative process. MySpace, Google and many other technology companies incorporate this approach in their business model. How much time exists in a standard learning environment for these experimental practices to get implemented? Is the classroom the appropriate place to test these ideas? I assume an institution, group or individual have already put this question to the test in an action research project.ebookstag:www.classroom20.com,2009-02-06:649749:BlogPost:2857212009-02-06T04:30:00.000ZDon Robinsonhttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/DonRobinson
1.5 million cellphone ebooks are available for download from Google. Access to knowledge is changing at the speed of light. If knowledge is power then many of us should be deified during this life time. The sheer amount of information at our finger tips pushes our realities over the edge and into the what President Obama spoke of throughout this campaign. Welcome to the knowledge economy, too late we can't hit the breaks now. What ever you do, make sure fear doesn't paralyze you,for every…

The sheer amount of information at our finger tips pushes our realities over the edge and into the what President Obama spoke of throughout this campaign. Welcome to the knowledge economy, too late we can't hit the breaks now. What ever you do, make sure fear doesn't paralyze you,for every minute you stand still and refuse to embrace “ the change” our access to more information would've increased 3 fold. Welcome to the age of enlightenment! However, we can't forget about those who are deprived of this rich information. You know who they are, outcast, the faces of the digital divide. 1.5 million ebooks, a gift from Google's Android system. They have landed and are ready to be beamed into a cellphone near you.<br />

<b>Right now, today, we have the winds of change at our backs. We have a new administration that is willing to accept innovative ideas across the board.

<b>Right now, today, we have the winds of change at our backs. We have a new administration that is willing to accept innovative ideas across the board. Educators are in a position to play a major role in this learning transformation. The next administration may not be willing to lend the support that the current administration is lending. America depends on individuals, groups and organizations to bring needed ideas to the table for discussion. How can we take advantage of this moment? Web 2.0 can change the face of our “traditional” learning platforms. This change, even though I'm talking about it in the an abstract form, can propel us toward a new age of non formal and formal education initiatives in this age of globalization. The acknowledgment of a “ knowledge economy” by our newly elected President, sheds light on the grassroots movement that is working for education reform in the 21st century.</b>
