  • Many people would feel comfortable using different platforms such as Kidblog because they may be easier or they may be apt to use, but we are trying to build a vision where the platform is secondary to the learning.  If we all use the same platform to create these portfolios, we can then get into truly deep and transformative learning.
  • Do we as schools have a long term vision that will help transcend what we do past “year chunks” and into lifelong learning?  Do we have the patience to see projects through that go far beyond any single year?  Do we build capacity within our schools so that no matter what leadership is in place, that long term vision can be achieved?

  • Eventually, each time someone would email something that would be better served on the wiki, they were instructed to place it there under the appropriate wiki page.  But how did Vistaprint know what content was being shared via email in the first place?
  • his was a gradual process but overtime Vistaprint started to see internal social pressure to put things on the wiki.

  • Employees would be at a meeting and during discussions someone would always say, “is that info up on the wiki?” 
  • This allowed and even forced employees to keep information on the wiki current and updated.
  • This was the beginning of a significant cultural shift because other departments were asking for a wiki. 
  • They understood the opportunities, saw the potential, and wanted in.
  • All departments were interviewed to understand what their needs and requirements were.  After conducting the interviews, it was determined that media wiki may not be the best approach since departments wanted to work with existing file formats such as PDF, Word, Excel, and others that were not supported by the wiki platform.
  • As a result, Vistaprint decided to keep the media wiki but instead integrated Sharepoint as a document management platform.
  • Organic growth was not trusted so a skeletal structure was built

  • 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
