Otsikoihin ei ole ylettynyt Uusi-Seelannin opetustoimen uudistus, joka astunee voimaan ensi vuonna. Siinä kuvataan viisi kompetenssia, joihin opetuksessa tullaan keskittymään. Ne ovat(1) ajattelu,(2) kielen, symbolien ja tekstin käyttö ja tuottaminen,(3) itsehoito (itseyden ja minuuden rakentaminen),(4) suhteet toisiin,(5) osallistuminen ja vaikuttaminen.

The five students around the table will be able to plug in their handhelds to the table, slide open the tabletop to reveal keyboards, and work communally via the computer which is projecting both independent and shared aspects of a desktop into a large translucent globe in the center of the table. In the globe, the students can move things around to see their own work as well as the individual work of their peers and the communal site. The teacher, or any student in the room, or any expert anywhere in the world invited into the class, can also 'take over' each globe for whatever purpose of presenting ideas.

And most importantly, the key is to make the Web-based side of the learning literally transparent to everyone -- students and teachers alike.The Web after screens.I've even got a tagline: Why stare at a screen when you can share the globe?

Finally, I head to Helsinki on November 20 for a visit with a seminar at Haaga-Helia University of Applied Science on Boundless Learning. With both virtual and in-person components, the seminar is developing into a real treat to participate in. For a sample of the ideas we will explore, view the videos posted on the Boundless Learning blog.
