    "Get ready to step down from the stage, get out of your faculty cloak,and join the new learner-centric revolution. Forget courses and curriculums. The future of learning is about online conversations and communities, podcasting on the go, and shared immersive-3D virtual-worlds experiences. A new breed of learners is entering the workforce with little patience for traditional "Web 1.0" PowerPoint dronathons and e-learning drudgery. They want to be engaged, in control, and part of the storyline. Leading companies are turbocharging workplace performance with learning and communications that focus on doing, simulating, socializing, playing, sharing, and collaborating. In this session, learn how leading companies are betting that the future of learning won't be built on flat, static webpages but rather in traversable 3-D spaces; think Facebook meets Grand Theft Auto, or a Smurf Village reduction of your classroom."

    New Media Literacies (NML), a research initiative based within USC's Annenberg School for Communication, explores how we might best equip young people with the social skills and cultural competencies required to become full participants in an emergent media landscape and raise public understanding about what it means to be literate in a globally interconnected, multicultural world.

      Here it is... what our goals are for our students to be successful in life, not just on the high stakes tests. I think that if we are teaching these critical skills that "... the rest will follow" and we will see big gains in student proficiency.

      Collaborative... this is significant,no longer focusing on individual student performance, but the performance of a team, a collaborative group. How do we educate the parents of the 21st century to adapt to this new model?

      Are there "penalities" for not doing well on these tests? Can a student be denied graduation? I know this is coming in PA with the Keystone Exams. I also believe remediation (in 12th grade) is a requirment if you are not proficient on the PSSA in 11th grade.

      I would suggest "demonstrates" rather than has. I also think that one of our greatest challenges in schools - teachers, leaders and students - is coming to some common understanding of what these terms mean, especially in the 21st century. For example, our understanding of collaboration is probably all over the board from "works in groups" to uses social networking sites to connect with other experts.

      Does Apple really define this? While they funded the study, I wonder if attaching their name may give the impression that the corporate world is now identifying what we as educators ought to be doing. Maybe...Through research funded by Apple Computer...

      While I agree with this as well, the challenge is how do we prepare teachers to engage in this instruction. Also, as I was reading I kept thinking, this sounds much like differentiated instruction...how do the two fuse together?

    The Mobile Learning Institute's film series "A 21st Century Education" profiles individuals who embrace and defend fresh approaches to learning and who confront the urgent social challenges that are part of a 21st century experience. "A 21st Century Education" compiles, in short film format, the best ideas around school reform. The series is meant to start, extend, or nudge the conversation about how to make change in education happen.
