  • Missing in this formula for a world-class education is an urgent call for schools to produce students that actually know something about the world--its cultures, languages and how its economic, environmental and social systems work. 
  • Global competence starts by being aware, curious, and interested in learning about the world and how it works. 
  • Globally competent students recognize that they have a particular perspective, and that others may or may not share it. 
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Globally competent students understand that audiences differ on the basis of culture, geography, faith, ideology, wealth, and other factors and that they may perceive different meanings from the same information. 
  • What skills and knowledge will it take to go from learning about the world to making a difference in the world?
  • Globally competent students see themselves as players, not bystanders. 
  • Global competence requires that the capacities described above be both applied within academic disciplines and contextualized within each discipline's methods of inquiry and production of knowledge.

    If you only watch the first story in the first two minutes this is worth it. I think that the rest is good as well. Fredrik wrote the Ideas Book which is excellent. He tried to get him for Innovate but he was too expensive.

  • We are aware of how much we don't know: that we have yet to explore the full pedagogical potential of learning online, of how it can change the ways we teach, the ways we learn, and the ways we connect.  
  • As we begin to experiment with how novel technologies might change learning and teaching, powerful forces threaten to neuter or constrain technology, propping up outdated educational practices rather than unfolding transformative ones.
  • All too often, during such wrenching transitions, the voice of the learner gets muffled.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Learners within a global, digital commons have the right to work, network, and contribute to knowledge in public; to share their ideas and their learning in visible and connected ways if they so choose.
  • The best courses will be global in design and contribution, offering multiple and multinational perspectives.  
  • The best online learning programs will not simply mirror existing forms of university teaching but offer students a range of flexible learning opportunities that take advantage of new digital tools and pedagogies to widen these traditional horizons, thereby better addressing 21st-century learner interests, styles and lifelong learning needs.  
  • Both technical and pedagogical innovation should be hallmarks of the best learning environments.
  • Open online education should inspire the unexpected, experimentation, and questioning--in other words, encourage play.

  • learning is deeply pleasurable, if not always fun (doing hard things is not always fun, but worth it)

  • to prepare for the New York State Regents exam, students do all the memorization and content-cramming with teacher-created, web-based products so that instructional time does not have to be spent on this
  • strategically using online course learning and other web-based experiences as foundational content, students at the iSchool this past year worked with the designers of the National September 11th Memorial and Museum to get a more global perspective on the ways teens think about the events leading up to 9-11, interviewing kids in Pakistan and Australia about terrorism and victimization; designed a website to develop environmental awareness on the pros and cons of fracking called, thinkbeforeyoufrack; and created cultural ethnographic films about being sixteen all around the world, probing concepts like dating, what being in a relationship means, what you eat says about you culturally and socially.
  • Many of the conventional school environments I'm in are distinctly flat, arid, uninteresting places, physically and intellectually. Bulletin boards that could date from my own elementary school line classroom walls, with publisher's slogans about trying harder or doing your best. Adults choose what goes on the walls , and the aesthetics of learning spaces seem almost deliberately ignored.
  • What can we learn about these new "entrepreneurial" learning environments, where technology is central but not at the center? The medium that extends, defines, and mediates learning, but is not the thing? Collaboration is at the center, we are still learning how to do this, making "little bets" on changes in school culture which allow us to fail early and adapt, is part of establishing these transformative learning cultures

    If you wanted to rethink every assumption about conventional high school--with multi-media technology at the center, combined with an intense conviction about adolescents ' desire to do meaningful and important work--what would it look like? "This is the NYC iSchool
