  • We need to train teachers to know how to maximise benefits of online learning. We need to re-shape online learning space and make it personalised, engaging & suited to the task.
  • Will schools have a role into the future? Yes! Schools should be the core functional, relational communities of society.
  • Physical space is just as important as virtual and/or pedagogic space. Kill off desks, chairs and lockers.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • There are so many better & engaging ways to furnish a space.
  • Leadership roles should match priorities, not history.
  • Students must learn to be engaged learners. Parents need to grow their understanding of the realities their children will face, not re-live their own school experience.
  • Teaching could be about creative direction, rather than about behaviour management.
  • Curriculum should be meaningful, contextual, authentic, integrated, challenge based, relational.
  • We should kill off the one teacher per class model. It is fraught with emotional risks.
  • Students should be given capacity to delve deeply into topics, not punctuated by factory-style bells. Schools need to experiment with far more timetable-less days – opportunities for real life learning.

    "90% of information transmitted to the brain is visual The brain can process 36,000 visual cues in an hour The brain takes about 1/10th of a second to get the idea of a visual scene Almost 50% of your brain is involved in visual processing Black and white images garner your attention for about 2/3 of a second Color images garner your attention for 2+ seconds The average consumer's attention span is only about 8 seconds The brain processes visual cues 60,000 times faster than text 40% of nerve fibers are linked to the retina The use of visuals improves learning outcomes by about 400% DO-S AND DON'T-S FOR VISUAL USE DO Use visuals to help clarify complex ideas Use visuals that represent people, places, and things Use catchy visuals Use visuals that help viewers make connections and understand new information Use visuals that help viewers relate new information to what they already know DON'T Use poor quality visuals, like things that are pixelated, stretched weird, sized improperly, or don't fit in the space Use ugly visuals Use visuals that don't make a clear connection to the material presented Use irrelevant visuals, like a series of shapes that have no meaning Use copyrighted visuals without permission!"
