  • 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?

      Perhaps use this quote to work on the Vision assignment this week.

      Likely comparable to the narratives the Heaths use in Switch (malnutrition in Vietnam, Dr. Esserman, saving 100,000 lives)

Social Media leadership skills PLN

  • 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
      Eric Telfer on 16 Jul 13
       
      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
      Eric Telfer on 16 Jul 13
       
      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
      Eric Telfer on 16 Jul 13
       
      Value of emotional currency, EQ.

  • The six dimensions of social-media-literate leadership
    • Eric Telfer
      Eric Telfer on 16 Jul 13
       
      Re- leader as designer, steward, teacher.
  • instant communication
    • Eric Telfer
      Eric Telfer on 16 Jul 13
       
      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
      Eric Telfer on 16 Jul 13
       
      Required for class multimedia projects?
  • That unease soon vanished with practice
    • Eric Telfer
      Eric Telfer on 16 Jul 13
       
      As is the case with most switches.
  • Leveraging
    • Eric Telfer
      Eric Telfer on 16 Jul 13
       
      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
      Eric Telfer on 16 Jul 13
       
      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
      Eric Telfer on 16 Jul 13
       
      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
      Eric Telfer on 16 Jul 13
       
      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
      Eric Telfer on 16 Jul 13
       
      At school, who is giving us the time to invest in social media literacy for all?
  • agile
    • Eric Telfer
      Eric Telfer on 16 Jul 13
       
      able to change/adapt to emerging (educational) technologies.
  • Eric Telfer on 16 Jul 13
     
    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.

  • We live in a technology-driven society. Unless we choose to live in a commune in the woods or the desert, that will not change.
  • Now the questions arise, are our teachers trained and supported in technology use. Are the buildings adequately tooled for technology? Are administrators devising new, and updating antiquated policies to meet the challenges of teaching with technology? If we are not doing these things, are we then lying to our children when we tell them that we are preparing them for their future?

  • If you can’t point to it, how do you describe it to non-educators? As I wrote in a previous blog, I suspect that an answer might be to focus more on “Student 2.0,” someone we can point to – and then design education around that
