3. Welcome to the human network

4. Things do not change; we change. —Henry David Thoreau What are you doing to contextualize and mobilize what you are learning? How will you leverage, how will you enable your teachers or your students to leverage- collective intelligence? • THE CONNECTED EDUCATOR

5. Learner First— Educator Second It is a shift and requires us to rethink who we are as an educational leader or professional. It requires us to redefine ourselves. Take on the heart of a student… a learner. Emerson and Thoreau reunited would ask- “What has become clearer to you since we last met?”

6. Principle of the Path “Direction-not intention-determines our destination.” Andy Stanley Are your daily choices taking you and your learners in the direction you want to go?

9. Are you Ready for Leading in the 21st Century It isn’t just “coming”… it has arrived! And schools who aren’t redefining themselves, risk becoming irrelevant in preparing students for the future.

12. “For the first time we are preparing students for a future we cannot clearly describe.” -David Warlick http://communications.nottingham.ac.uk/podcasts/

13. What's different?We now have an easy connection between an individual's passion to learn and the resources to learn it.

14. Right now, schools are: Time and place. Filtered. Teacher-directed. Predictable. Standardized. Push oriented. Content-based. Group assessed. Linear. Closed. Sept-June. Local.

15. Learning will be (already is): Mobile. Networked. Global. Collaborative. Self-directed. Inquiry based. On demand. Transparent. Lifelong. Personalized. Pull. Unpredictable.

18. The pace of change is accelerating

20. Knowledge Creation It is estimated that 1.5 exabytes of unique new information will be generated worldwide this year. That’s estimated to be more than in the previous 5,000 years.

21. For students starting a four-year education degree, this means that . . . half of what they learn in their first year of study will be outdated by their third year of study.

22. Shift in Learning = New Possibilities Shift from emphasis on teaching… To an emphasis on co-learning

23. “Schools are a node on the network of learning.”

42. TPACK Model Mishra & Koehler 2006

43. How do you do it?-- TPCK and Understanding by Design There is a new curriculum design model that helps us think about how to make assessment part of learning. Assessment before , during, and after instruction. Teacher and Students as Co-Curriculum Designers What do you want to know and be able to do at the end of this activity, project, or lesson? What evidence will you collect to prove mastery? (What will you create or do) What is the best way to learn what you want to learn? How are you making your learning transparent? (connected learning)

44. SITE 2006IEA Second Information Technology in Education Study • 9000 School • 35,000 math and science teachers in 22 countries How are teachers using technology in their instruction? Law, N., Pelgrum, W.J. & Plomp, T. (eds.) (2008). Pedagogy and ICT use in schools around the world: Findings from the IEA SITES 2006 study. Hong Kong: CERC-Springer, the report presenting results for 22 educational systems participating in the IEA SITES 2006, was released by Dr Hans Wagemaker, IEA Executive Director and Dr Nancy Law, International Co-coordinator of the study.

45. Findings Increased technology use does not lead to student learning. Rather, effectiveness of technology use depended on teaching approaches used in conjunction with the technology. How you integrate matters- not just the technology alone. It needs to be about the learning, not the technology. And you need to choose the right tool for the task. As long as we see content, technology and pedagogy as separate- technology will always be just an add on.

46. Teacher as Designer See yourself as a curriculum designer– owners of the curriculum you teach. Honor creativity (yours first, then the student’s) Repurpose the technology! Go beyond simple “use” and “integration” to innovation!

47. Education for Citizenship “A capable and productive citizen doesn’t simply turn up for jury service. Rather, she is capable of serving impartially on trials that may require learning unfamiliar facts and concepts and new ways to communicate and reach decisions with her fellow jurors…. Jurors may be called on to decide complex matters that require the verbal, reasoning, math, science, and socialization skills that should be imparted in public schools. Jurors today must determine questions of fact concerning DNA evidence, statistical analyses, and convoluted financial fraud, to name only three topics.” Justice Leland DeGrasse, 2001

48. Education for Future Economic Competitiveness “When the world becomes this flat—with so many distributed tools of innovation and connectivity empowering individuals from anywhere to compete, connect and collaborate—the most important competition is between you and your own imagination, because energetic, innovative and connected individuals can now act on their imaginations farther, faster, deeper and cheaper than ever before…. Those countries and companies that empower their individuals to imagine and act quickly on their imagination are going to thrive…. These are oil wells that don’t run dry.” Thomas Friedman, The New York Times, June 10, 2007

49. The Focus of our Instructional Vision • Strengthening student work by examining and refining curriculum, assessment, and classroom instruction • Strengthening teacher practice by examining and refining the feedback teachers receive • Strengthening leadership by becoming a connected leader who owns 21st Century shift. The Framework for Teaching - Charlotte Danielson

50. 21st Century Learning – Check List It is never just about content. Learners are trying to get better at something. It is never just routine. It requires thinking with what you know and pushing further. It is never just problem solving. It also involves problem finding. It’s not just about right answers. It involves explanation and justification. It is not emotionally flat. It involves curiosity, discovery, creativity, and community. It’s not in a vacuum. It involves methods, purposes, and forms of one of more disciplines, situated in a social context. David Perkins- Making Learning Whole
