Toffler’s three great waves of change. • Development of agriculture • Industrial revolution (physical capabilities) • Information revolution (mental capabilities) Each wave of change brought paradigm shifts in all of society’s systems.

1. What might the new paradigm be like? Four Major Functions for Technology • Record keeping for student learning • Planning for student learning • Instruction for student learning • Assessment for student learning Does this make sense? Comments?
3. What can be done to help schools change their paradigm? Paradigm change is very different from piecemeal reform. • The incompatibility problem • The mindset problem • The invention problem • The ownership problem • The leadership problem • The expertise problem • The resource problem
3. What can be done to help schools change their paradigm? The AECT FutureMinds Initiative Strategy The school district must be the unit of change. Districts need two things: Expertise & Money State Education Agencies should meet these needs. SEAs have to build their capacity. The FutureMinds Initiative helps SEAs do this. (2) The School System Transformation Protocol is used.
