PART II

00:00:00

TEACHER TRAINING

00:00:00

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Should NOT be About technology

00:00:00

It should be about PARTNERING

00:00:00

PARTNERING Is a different way to split the work…

00:00:00

Old way: TELLING

Teachers talk

Student listen and take notes

00:00:00

• Use technology • Find content

• Create

New Way: PARTNERING

• Ask questions • Add quality & rigor

• Put into context

Students do what they do well

Teachers do what they do well

00:00:00

Lecturer Controller

“Ruler”

Coach Guide Partner

21st Century Pedagogy = a move from:

1 2 3 4 5

00:00:00

PARTNERING is the best 21st century

pedagogy

PARTNERING is the way that works best with technonolgy

TOP-DOWN vs BOTTOM-UP

00:00:00

Understanding Our Students Passions

Top Down

00:00:00

Bottom Up

versus

Top-Down has issues:

Trying to engage all kids with stuff we make or do

for them IS IMPOSSIBLE

What we need is not to “engage our kids”

but to

Engage WITH our kids

Talk to them

Listen to them

When we do, we will learn that

our kids are really full of

Sports Space Dance Coins

History Singing Writing Nature

Music Medicine

People The Environment

Programming

Motorcycles Animals

Business

The Internet

If tomorrow every teacher

asked every student

“What are you

passionate about?”

And wrote it down and acted on it

Our education would take giant leaps

overnight!

“THE DIGITAL CLASSROOM”

Feels like the world!

The biggest thing we couldn’t do before is

Connect!

00:00:00

We used to prepare kids to

Connect later

00:00:00

Now we need to Help them

Connect today!

00:00:00

It’s THE NETWORK!

00:00:00

BE SURE YOUR PEOPLE CONNECT THE KIDS

TO THE WORLD

To do:

I want to describe

00:00:00

What the real vision of future education is

00:00:00

Why it is so critical we adopt it

00:00:00

And how we can make it happen

00:00:00

THE VISION:

All our citizens, connected

as nodes on a network

00:00:00

And that that network is

the primary source for education for all

00:00:00

The required change in perspective

is from

Education as Hierarchy to

Education as Network

00:00:00

This new perspective can be scary

00:00:00

But it is critical that we adopt it!

00:00:00

To educate everyone

00:00:00

And keep that education up-to-date

00:00:00

We need to make all of our kids

00:00:00

and all of our citizens

00:00:00

NODES ON THE NETWORK

00:00:00

“Education” tomorrow is totally different from

the “education” of today

00:00:00

It has less to do with courses, curriculum,

degrees and exams

00:00:00

And far more to do with everyone’s

becoming linked…

00:00:00

To resources, and to each other

00:00:00

So that they can teach and learn

whatever they need

It turns out…

all citizens who become

connected in this way become empowered

Learn better

Live better

Work better

Earn better

Participate better

Since through the network

they can

Learn what they need to

Monitor their own health and environment

Find (and do) work

Save, earn and invest money

Participate in government

Once we show them how!

So making every citizen a network node

Must become a key Development Goal!

How do we make all our citizens

Living Network Nodes?

1. A network to connect to

2. A device to connect with

3. Ability to use the connection

Every citizen needs:

Expensive? Not necessarily

But even if we can afford it…

we should not just rush out and buy stuff

Because today things change so quickly…

… that what may have been great yesterday

or today…

Grows old really quickly! 03:24

If we want to

Leapfrog ahead

And not just look back with

yearning

To goals of the past

We need to find a way

to move forward

That is doable, flexible, and affordable!

I have a suggestion

Why do we not employ our most underutilized resource in education

and in the world…

Use our young people!

Peer-to-Peer is

the most powerful resource we have

It’s time to move

from doing education to and for our people

to enlisting them as our

peers and helpers…

Education:

Of the people, by the people

and for the people

“The Citizen Node

Network”

Getting every citizen plugged in to the network and receiving the benefits

for Education

Health Work

and many other things

How do we do it?

We start with those who are already

most “plugged in”

and get them to

1. Enlist others

2. Help build infrastructure

Let students install Wi-Fi everywhere

3. Help distribute / maintain

devices

4. Help teach usage

Mainly Self-organized Self-evaluated,

Self-policed, Self-controlled

(with our help)

100% Volunteer,

Peer-to-peer

Run almost entirely by young people

of all ages

we provide help

and great recognition
