– We are learning now in more ways and in more places than before. What previously took place in the school also takes place at home and abroad. The boundaries are more blurred, says Oddgeir Tveiten, professor at the Institute for global development and social planning at the University of Agder.
Tveiten believes this trend makes the need to ask the question about the role social media has and will have in teaching.
Challenging Minister
He believes many schools and universities are not good at using social media in education.
– We must have a more thoughtful as to how technology is taken into the classroom. Understanding the opportunities social media is very important. I would challenge the minister to take these issues more seriously than he does, says Tveiten.
Oddgeir Tveiten is excited to hear the speech of Google employee number eight, Peter Norvig, in Kristiansand in June. Norvig should probably talk about including online learning at World Learning Summit 2016.

Can not respond
NRK put the challenge on to the Minister Torbjørn Røe Isaksen and asked what place he believes social media should have in education today and in the future.
in an email Ministry writes that the minister unfortunately did not have the opportunity to comment on the matter.
large conference on learning
Tveiten spends much of the year in Silicon Valley in order to follow the latest technology and has a straw into the core of Facebook and Google.
for the sixth consecutive year, he helped organize a major conference on the future of learning methods in mid-June in Kristiansand.
One of those who will make presentations there is analysis boss of Google International, Peter Norvig.
– Norvig is a pioneer in media-rich teaching and it will be his first lecture in Europe, says Tveiten.
