31. What Do We Know About Kids? • Kids learn by observing their environment • They want to be like the grown-ups • They love to manipulate items with their hands • Kids have a different perspective on reality • For them, reality extends into the virtual world intellectual property of Christel Broady use only with permission 8/2012

32. Continued • Kids love instant access to information, games, or social interactions • They are used from baby days on to control learning • They are not afraid of learning • They learn by trial and error • They map text differently • They multi task intellectual property of Christel Broady use only with permission 8/2012

37. What Else Happens? School is too easy, students report By Greg Toppo, USA TODAY 7/9/2012 11:43 PM The findings, out today from the Center for American Progress, a Washington think tank that champions "progressive ideas," analyze three years of questionnaires from the Department of Education's National Assessment of Educational Progress, a national test given each year. intellectual property of Christel Broady use only with permission 8/2012

38. Three Things to Unlearn About Learning said Will Richardson, a veteran educator author and consultant, at a talk at ISTE 2012 To that end, Richardson proposed a challenge to educators to unlearnthree important things that have been taken for granted as immovable, unchangeable ideas. intellectual property of Christel Broady use only with permission 8/2012

39. 1.   DELIVERY: Kids will not put up with delivery too much longer. They’ll expect something much different Rather, educators must hand over control of learning to kids, and understand that there are lots of ways to learn what they need to and want to learn. intellectual property of Christel Broady use only with permission 8/2012

40. We have to stop being in charge of the curriculum and allow kids to create their own education • Educators should ask themselves: how am I helping kids develop important skills, dispositions, and literacies they need to create their own curriculum, to find their own teachers, to create their own artifacts that will more closely align with ways they’ll work when they leave school? intellectual property of Christel Broady use only with permission 8/2012

41. 2.   COMPETITION: intellectual property of Christel Broady use only with permission 8/2012

42. Rather than comparing test scores and grades of schools and of teachers, we should drive education forward on the basis of cooperation. • We should use the best ideas of what others are doing, other classrooms and other schools. “Do we fear someone else is going to take what we’re doing? But isn’t that a good thing, if it’s good practice?” Richardson asked. There’s a larger gain by being transparent. “We can’t fight the greater world problems as well through competition as we will through cooperation. 3.   ASSESSMENT. intellectual property of Christel Broady use only with permission 8/2012

43. 3.   ASSESSMENT intellectual property of Christel Broady use only with permission 8/2012

44. Richardson, an outspoken critic of standardized testing, pressed the point that current assessments measure fact memorization, not students’ skills. And with automated essay scoring being used, the range of knowledge is becoming more and more narrow, he said. “If we don’t assess what we value, we will end up valuing what we assess,” he said. “As a system, we’re not assessing what we value.” Richardson does not even favor “open book” or “open Internet” testing, asking the simple but unsettling question: “Why are we asking them questions they can easily find?” intellectual property of Christel Broady use only with permission 8/2012

45. Continued • As educators grapple with the shift you might feel anger, grief, or excitement that kids will learn in a lot of different ways,” he said. “But you have to look at your own learning practice and innovate.” • Try assessing one thing differently, he suggested. Ask students to tap into all the sources they have, then bring other teachers into the classroom and let them influence the discussions. And, of course, engage others in these discussions. intellectual property of Christel Broady use only with permission 8/2012

47. How Digital Literacy Can Tear Down Traditional Silos in School Programs • Technology can be seen as a globally shared culture. • Children today use technology in ways deeply woven into the tapestry of their lives. • They express themselves differently from their elders using technology and social media. • They use language differently than previous generations. • There is a worldwide way of “writing” by way of texting and social media use (Understanding the Digital Generation). • As a matter of fact, digital natives even use different eye movements in information gathering and analyzing (The Eyes Have It). • Last, technology has the ability to seamlessly interface with best teaching practice since the possibility of differentiating and accommodating are endless. intellectual property of Christel Broady use only with permission 8/2012
