They also should pay special care to make certain that educators understand the privacy and security concerns associated with technology.

    "What works best for students is similar to what works best for teachers - an attention to setting challenging learning intentions, being clear about what success means, and an attention to learning strategies for developing conceptual understanding about what teachers and students know and understand."

  • Learner agency is characterized by a pedagogy that builds on the passions of learners and also has real world relevance. We are seeing numerous examples of this in our schools, and the school structure is also beginning to change to accommodate this transition. Schools are adopting more flexible schedules, new and more personalized methods of reporting are being adopted, and examples of hands-on experiences from outdoor learning to community business partnerships are flourishing. Many do see learner agency as being key to the future of schooling.
  • Kids are learning many STEM skills, but it's not happening in schools.

  • What the PISA found, according to its manager Andreas Schleicher and as reported by Thomas Friedman in The New York Times, is
  • The single entity and mode of delivery may need rethinking to account for the wealth of access to information now in place with the Internet and mobile technology.
  • Students can grow frustrated by not feeling ownership over their learning, and can get trapped in a power struggle with teachers over choice and direction with learning.
  • All the building blocks are in place for breakthroughs: the Internet goes everywhere. Everyone has a device connected to the network. And the cost of technology experimentation is so low.
  • that the most successful students are those who feel real "ownership" of their education. In all the best performing school systems, said Schleicher, "students feel they personally can make a difference in their own outcomes and that education will make a difference for their future.”
  • The single entity of the teacher needs to be reconsidered and recalibrated.
  • The learning paradigm is shifting toward student "agency."

    "On any given day, students from as many as three grades can be found studying together in the same classroom. Instead of letter grades, student performance is based on a numbered system in which 4 means proficient and a 1 or 2 means the student has more work to do before moving on. And teachers who were used to pulling entire classes of students through the same lessons at the same speed now are responsible for monitoring each student's progress individually."

      This isn't a tech innovation issue, this is a cultural issue. Maybe the "advantaged" schools are more likely to support a culture of exploration & free-form learning

    I agree. I used to link to them at many of my Free Interne to Libraries but when he got money they got pretty and less useful. I explore the tech issue at my Geekability site. It is illogical to thing tech will lower the economic spread between people.
