If We Didn't Have the Schools We Have Today, Would We Create the Schools We Have Today - 0 views

But most schools and classrooms will no longer be the central learning hubs they are today.   Today’s model of schooling is to bring the learner to the knowledge—tomorrow we will bring the knowledge to the learners.   We must recognize that schools and classrooms are becoming nodes in networked learning communities.   We must begin to think about how to organize learning in networked communities and not limit learning within the boundaries of classrooms and school buildings—which would be to limit our thinking to what has been possible in the past in a single school or node.

The new and more powerful opportunity available to educators today is to use these technologies to help individuals collaboratively construct networked learning communities that will accelerate and augment the community’s learning, as well as each individual’s learning.

Did the open space concept fail, or did we fail to prepare teachers who could teach in an open space model? We changed the physical space in those buildings, but because we continued to prepare most teachers as if the only way to teach is using the solo, stand alone, self-contained, isolated classroom model—the open space concept could not work

Any organization that adopts a new technology without significant organizational change is doomed to failure. You have to change the organization. You cannot just add the technology

Start with the idea and apply the tool. If you start with the tool first…you have a lesser chance of effecting learning. This happens to me quite often. A teacher will come to me and say "I want to blog." OK, that's great, but why? What are you thinking? Why do you want to blog? What do you know about a blog?

An amazing story of an autistic girl and how she learned to communicate through her art. It inspires me because her parents recognized her gift and supported her in developing the positive instead of seeing where she "lacked" due to her autism. We can all learn a lesson in parenting from this family!
