Workshop topic and themes

The Net Generation, Y Generation, C Generation, digital natives... there are

many terms ? several controversial - used to name youth who were born into a

world where the Internet is of great importance. These terms issue from a huge

body of studies that focus on youth and digital culture (CEFRIO, 2011; Ito et

al., 2008; Lenhart et al., 2008), on the emerging knowledge society (UNESCO

2005) and that illustrate a wide consensus on how new media are altering the

way youth learn and socialize. They demonstrate that teachers face a new

audience engaged in tagging, searching, gaming, multitasking, social

networking and collaborating through Web 2.0-related activities. Indeed, youth

appear more engaged in digital networks where they can create content, share

knowledge and expertise, access cultural artefacts or remix existing material,

realizing the Papert’s prophecy (1980).

Emerging Web technologies clearly offer new opportunities to learners but

there are surprisingly few examples of such uses at school and little evidence

of their impact in education. Although teachers are not entirely out of this

movement as a growing number of them are engaged in online networks that

foster professional development and where they share “living” teaching

resources (Gueudet et al. 2011) and best practices, most schools are still

focused on training autonomous problem-solvers whereas there is a growing need

for creativity, teamwork and collaboration skills within multidisciplinary

networks in order to solve the kind of problems faced by an increasingly

complex world. Thus, there is a growing gap separating youth digital culture

from mainstream academic school culture.

In line with the www2012 conference, this workshop aims at understanding the

real impact of emerging Web technologies in transforming education. It will

offer researchers and practicioners the opportunity to share their knowledge

and expertise in putting forward new models of teaching and learning in the

Internet Age. The aim is to bridge the gap between youth digital culture and

school culture in order to face the new and complex challenges being addressed

by educators in the knowledge society. The workshop will be complementary to

LiLe 2012.

Papers focusing on concrete applications of emerging Web technologies are

particularly welcome, as well as more theoretical and position position papers

with a special focus on introducing social media in education.
