Student Journalism 2.0 : Testing Models for Participatory Learning in the Digital Age

Many educators and educational institutions have yet to integrate web-based practices into their classrooms and curricula. As a result, it can be difficult to prototype and evaluate approaches to transforming classrooms from static endpoints to dynamic, content-creating nodes in the online information ecosystem. But many scholastic journalism programs have already embraced the capabilities of the Internet for virtual collaboration, dissemination, and reader participation. Because of this, scholastic journalism can act as a test-bed for integrating web-based sharing and collaboration practices into classrooms. Student Journalism 2.0 was a research project to integrate open copyright licenses into two scholastic journalism programs, to document outcomes, and to identify recommendations and remaining challenges for similar integrations. Video and audio recordings of two participating high school journalism programs informed the research. In describing the steps of our integration process, we note some important legal, technical, and social challenges. Legal worries such as uncertainty over copyright ownership could lead districts and administrators to disallow open licensing of student work. Publication platforms among journalism classrooms are far from standardized, making any integration of new technologies and practices difficult to achieve at scale. And teachers and students face challenges re-conceptualizing the role their class work can play online.

El uso de las herramientas digitales 2.0 en la educación primaria en Barcelona

La intenció del present estudi es esbrinar si el propòsit institucional d'integrar les TICs i desenvolupar les competències digitals entre l'alumnat s'assoleix a l'escola primària, si la formació del professorat es suficient per aquests objectius i si l'ús està integrat en el procés d'ensenyament i aprenentatge. També volem saber si a la pràctica les TICs queden relegades només a un nivell individual, deixant en segon pla l'ús col·lectiu dins l'aula amb l'alumnat, i l'ús queda restringit sobre tot a la consulta i no incorpora la producció de material digital.Per tant, el nostre objectiu és conèixer el grau d'utilització de les TICs, en particular les que donen pas i fomenten la cultura participativa (eines 2.0) del professorat de Primària, el tipus d'ús i el coneixement sobre l'alumnat destinatari de l'aprenentatge. Per tal d'obtenir una descripció de la utilització d'aquest col·lectiu de les TICs s'ha creat un qüestionari que intentarà respondre als nostres objectius.

Coming from outside the Academy. Values of 2.0 culture in higher education

This article reflects on how some values, interests, and particularities of 2.0 culture enter on higher and postgraduate education institutions. Through theidentification of the features of 2.0, this document visualizes some of the resistances, obstacles, possibilities, and opportunities detected in these institutions, many of them focusing on the core of the higher education and postgraduate institutions (i.e. strategic vision, methodology, role of teachers and students, relation between formal and informal learning, contents and assessment). Responsibility in the training and updating of current and future professionals places these institutions under the discussion and decision-making process related to the role that 2.0 tools should play. We wonder if it implies a crossroad which affects the whole set of attitudes and values on the role of training institutions in the context of the construction of socialized knowledge.
