    For those of us getting students ready for post-secondary studies. The Common Core mandates teachers to have students "college ready", even if they don't attend. I know Chelsea and I teach seniors... anyone else?

7 Inspiring TED Talks on the 21st Century Curriculum ~ Educational Technology and Mobil... - 1 views

  • This dynamic shift in students learning styles requires a specific kind of curriculum, one that responds to their different emerging needs and help them make the best of their learning experiences and most important of all, prepares them for jobs that are not yet created
  • In this talk from TEDGlobal 2012, computer science professor Shimon Schocken shares the idea that educators don’t necessarily need to actively teach, but instead can provide an environment for self-learning
    • Eric Telfer
       
      Very provocative claim, and I don't think that this would necessarily fly with high school students at some levels.
  • What kind of school would have teenagers fighting to get in, not fighting to stay out?
    • Eric Telfer
       
      Perhaps use this quote to work on the Vision assignment this week.

  • Bir Sethi shares the story of children who were taught the importance of literacy and who were inspired to hold a campaign to educate their illiterate parents
    • Eric Telfer
       
      Likely comparable to the narratives the Heaths use in Switch (malnutrition in Vietnam, Dr. Esserman, saving 100,000 lives)

Six social-media skills every leader needs | McKinsey & Company - 0 views

  • here’s a mismatch between the logic of participatory media and the still-reigning 20th-century model of management and organizations, with its emphasis on linear processes and control. Social media encourages horizontal collaboration
    • Eric Telfer
       
      Corporate culture traditional leadership models still based on the ideals of industrialism- not unlike public education in the US. We need more horizontal classrooms.
  • The dynamics of social media amplify the need for qualities that have long been a staple of effective leadership
    • Eric Telfer
       
      You don't need to throw out the baby with the bath water with social media and traditional leadership traits. 
  • Leaders need to excel at cocreation and collaboration—the currencies of the social-media world
    • Eric Telfer
       
      Value of emotional currency, EQ.

  • The six dimensions of social-media-literate leadership
    • Eric Telfer
       
      Re- leader as designer, steward, teacher.
  • instant communication
    • Eric Telfer
       
      Not always a desirable attribute- instant communication can equal misinformation and inaccuracies. Take 24-7 news. Misinformation is often disseminated because of the pressure to get the information out quickly, rather than accurately. 
  • ncorporate video streams into their blogs
    • Eric Telfer
       
      Required for class multimedia projects?
  • That unease soon vanished with practice
    • Eric Telfer
       
      As is the case with most switches.
  • Leveraging
    • Eric Telfer
       
      I think that this is one of social media's greatest asset. 
  • Equally important is the skill of creating and sustaining a body of social followers who help to spread and reinforce the message.
    • Eric Telfer
       
      Value of PLNs as leaders in tech integration.
  • n traditional corporate communications, consumption is a mostly passive act: you are pretty much left alone to make sense of messages and to assess their authenticity and credibility. In the social-media realm, information gets shared and commented on within seconds
    • Eric Telfer
       
      Good for efficient leverage, but lends itself to "knee-jerk" reactions. This will cut down on analysis paralysis, though. 
  • engage more closely with stakeholders
    • Eric Telfer
       
      Parents about classroom events, assignments, projects, papers etc...
  • To achieve this goal, leaders must become tutors and strategic orchestrators of all social-media activities within their control
    • Eric Telfer
       
      At school, who is giving us the time to invest in social media literacy for all?
  • agile
    • Eric Telfer
       
      able to change/adapt to emerging (educational) technologies.
  •  
    Nice descriptions of what we are trying to prepare our students for in the work of work, especially with respect to desirable leadership traits and responsibilities in the business world.
