Leading in a Connected World Roger Pryor 23 September 2010
Musing All around us, we see technology adopted and adapted because it makes it easier, more effective and efficient
Yet... In education we worry that making things easy or more effective might somehow be ‘cheating’

Hi thanks for getting thinking today! The way I see it I would split a talk into two sections as I believe a connected world challenges our thinking in two ways 1. What we teach 2. The way we teach What we teach .... my view is that we need to educate ourselves ( young and old alike) to find coherence in a complex world.
The way we teach will need to change to capture the opportunities of this new world. You both are much better placed than me to see how technology can help but connective technology must be the servant not the master of this new teaching.
Creeping lateralism... Sometimes it can feel as though we are travelling up and down in the vertical elevator of bureaucracy: glum with the realisation that you can’t even get to certain floors without a swipe card
