Roll the dice using this link :

Put the numbers you rolled next to your name. The first die determines the order of the discussion, the lowest number goes first.
 * The second determines who will write the summary of educational implications - the highest number must do it.**
 * In the spirit of a game, and since we have a small class, if you have already written the summary once and get the highest number, you can decide who does it during this round! But you'll have to let that person know via email in Moodle.**

Everyone must comment by Friday at the latest in order to give time to others. Comments need not be sequential. The goal is to accumulate information. You can add more than one input,(each one is worth a point) but __each one can only be 140 characters__ long. Links, pictures, and references can be used to support your point of view.

Dawn 3,2 Flora 1, 4 Lynda 3, 1 Rebecca 3,4 Tara 2, 5 Brad 4,3

LL The above picture describes a message to the digital immigrants. ( their teachers) We the teachers can be stuck in what has been taught to us by fine Universities about teaching methodologies,"best practices". That many teachers are scared to challenge the principles in education, because of the basis of what has been fed to us. The 21st century learner is asking us to abandon, or at least experiment with their way they learn as digital natives. Realizing that by using technology purposefully, will indeed effect education in a positive way and challenge the typical lecture oriented

approach.


 * DM **
 * Escape from the old ways of teaching, and allow your mind to open up and embrace the digital natives and their new ways of learning. Follow your heart and instincts! **


 * TS **
 * Allow yourself to explore all technology has to offer-Don't be afraid to "explore" the unknown and go off the normal teaching path. Challenge the 21st century learners! **

RW: That learning, like tattoos, can be very personal and individualized.

BS Personalization is important, as well as questioning the status quo set by society

FV Don't be trapped by the old ways of doing things. Teach in a different style; try new strategies. Motivate the digital natives by using methods that stimulate them.

Summary of Educational Implications: simply put: teachers need to let go, and free themselves of what they've been taught they need to explore, accept and challenge old trusted, worn out teaching systems. if we do not change, we will not reach the students. By setting your beliefs free you are empowering the learner to use technology, create, and experience success. LL

DN - About the clue:
== The 21st century learner is an independent thinker, often choosing to reject dogma and institutional thinking. Just because something has always been done a certain way, this does not mean that it must continue to be done so. The idea of a tattoo was intended to illustrate this somewhat "anti-establishment" direction. In this picture, the individual has turned his/her back on convention. ==

Keywords include: anti-establishment, belief, dogma, open source
