The Future of Learning-Digital, Mobile, Real-Time - Getting Smart by Guest Author - #bl... - 0 views

  • the future of learning and education is becoming easier to predict every day: it’s digital.
  • The combination of ubiquitous mobile devices and dramatic improvements in personalized and engaging digital learning experiences has resulted in drastically reduced time-to-market for high-quality, technology-enhanced educational content.
  • Alvin Toffler. For a while now, he has talked about the need for speed in learning—and relearning—and the essential skills required for success. He’s said, “the illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.”

  • A major element of the Framework for 21st Century Learning is the “ability to learn through digital means, such as social networking, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) literacy, technological awareness, and simulation.”
  • Our digital and connected world calls for changes in how our children learn and how our teachers teach. We’re evolving from the “sage on the stage” model to one of coach and facilitator, and that’s a good thing.
  • I believe that the most effective educator is one who deeply understands the learner—where he or she is in the moment of their learning journey.

Some Thoughts on Disciplining Educational Innovation - 1 views

  •  
    In this the author talks about educators from across districts and beyond "utilizing the collective wisdom of their peers." He sees a potential providing an opportunity for educators where "Curriculum development and professional development are 'open sourced' with best practices being identified, implemented, and evaluated much more quickly across a group of schools since teachers are no longer working in isolation within their own schools or districts."

The Best Way for New Leaders to Build Trust - Jim Dougherty - Harvard Business Review - 0 views

  • I spent more than four hours  listening in to client support calls at the call center.  I shared headsets with many of the team, moving from desk to desk to speak to the reps. To say they were surprised is an understatement: Many CEOs never visit the call center, and virtually none do it their first afternoon on the job.
  • Many leaders see their role as directing and giving information, rather than gathering.  There is pressure to “come up with the answer” quickly or risk looking weak.  Too many new leaders believe they’re expected to know the answer without input or guidance. Nothing could be further from the truth.
  • Without trust, it is very unlikely you will learn the truth on what is really going on in that organization and in the market place.

  • Without trust, employees won’t level with you—at best, you’ll learn either non-truths or part truths.
  • The best way to start building trust to take the time and meet as many individual contributors as you can as soon as you can.
  • I made this my priority partly because I wanted to know what customers were saying—but also to make an internal statement.
  • Doing this correctly takes time—but less than you might think.

      I could be trusted with the truth..how powerful
  • Later on my first day at Intralinks, I began arranging meetings with individual contributors. That’s where my learning really began. Over the next few weeks I met with over 60 individual contributors. Not only did I learn a lot, but I convinced them that I cared what they thought and could be trusted with the truth.
  • Instead of just laying this out in an all-hands meeting, I began laying out the plan in one-on-one meetings in which I talked about how each individual’s feedback had helped guide my thinking.
  • None of this could have happened without building the trust of the team. New leaders must remember that many of the best insights on how to fix a company lie with employees further down the org chart. Creating a trusting, honest dialogue with these key personnel should be every new leader’s top priority.
