  • 3. Search and rescue
  • 4. Wikipedia and death of the expert
  • 5. Facebook and friends
  • 6. Twitter, texting and posting
  • 7. Youtube – less is more and ‘knowing how’ YouTube has changed the way we use video in learning for ever.
  • 8. Games Games have brought the proven sophistication of flight simulation into our homes and shown that failure (abhorred in traditional teaching) is the key to learning.
  • 9. Tools This is not often recognised but the word processor, spreadsheet and presentation tools have effected a considerable change on pedagogy.

  • Conclusion These are ground breaking shifts in the way we learn. Unfortunately, they’re not matched by the way we teach. The growing gap between teaching practice and learning practice is acute and growing.

The Biggest "Game-Changer" in Education | The Principal of Change - 0 views

  • “What do you see as the big ‘game changer’ in education?”
  • The real game changer isn’t something external; it is internal.  It is the way we think and grow.  It is moving from that “fixed” mindset about teaching and learning, and moving to the “growth” mindset.
  •  Change is the one constant that we will always have in our world and if we do not grow and learn to embrace it, then we will become irrelevant.

Why most teachers don't know what they don't know. « My Island View - 1 views

  • Technology is the driving force behind most of the education innovation. It is impacting not only what we can do as educators, but it is also changing how we approach learning. These innovations may have not all reached the education journals yet, but they have been presented and are being discussed digitally and at great length in social media.
  • Information from technology may be easily accessed, but it is not yet a passive exercise. It requires effort and an ability to learn and adapt. These are skills that all educators have, but many may not always be willing to use. The status quo has not required educators to use these skills in a long time. Using these skills requires effort and leaving a long-standing zone of comfort in order to learn and use new methods of information retrieval.
  • They need to be the life-long learners that they want their students to be.

News and Thoughts: The Changing Role of Teachers - 3 views

  • One-to-one professional development often begins with examining teaching methodology and exploring how this can be changed in order to begin to include the use of the technology to create a profounder, more engaging, more creative learning experience. This usually includes some focus on new skills around creative and critical thinking, connecting ideas, and communicating and collaborating with a variety of people, ranging from local students to experts from around the world.
  • It can be difficult to shift your role when all around you people are expecting and even evaluating you based on the old definition of what a teacher should be and do
  • change needs to be managed not just within the school walls, but within the school community and maybe the community at large.

  • Historical inertia has been a large deciding factor when it comes to curriculum design, at the policy/process level.
  • we must keep two key questions before us at all times: Is education relevant enough for this century? Are we educating students to be versatile in a world that is increasingly challenged and challenging?

Stop Chasing Students And Lead Them Instead - - 0 views

  • The students have already changed. The learning trends of 2012 have changed, too. They’re now approaching the trends of 2020, and here we are today curious about what engages students and what their interests are and how they tend to use the tools they love. That’s reactive design
  • While education struggles to agree on what needs changing and how to make it happen—and why, it should be asked, should we have to agree?—things around us have all exploded, detonated by technology.
