Ivon Prefontaine's insight:
My first reaction on reading the list of groups involved was negative. The University of Pheonix has a dog in this fight. They will want digital technologies to at the forefront. That is OK, but we need a balanced view of this emerging world and we need to question some of the views presented. We are not on the cusp of a relationship between humans and their digital tools. We have passed this cusp and each day we are in that emergent world. That kind of comment oversimplies a complex reality full of uncertainty.

Are you an 21st century educator? Here is a list of skills that teachers should know for 21st century. Via Gust MEES, Kay Bradford
Ivon Prefontaine's insight:
It sounds like a wide open approach to technology. We need to help students in their choices, developing skills that protect them, and understand being connnected 24/7 is not always healthy. Technology is a tool. Use it mindfully and develop mindful practice around its uses.

There is STILL some skill to add to that list ===> Cyber-Security skills!!! As students need to get knowledge who is tailored to the Real-World, this skill is very important!!! When having Cyber-Security skills, their employer doesn't have to invest in special training, which saves him big money!
And in times where Economy doesn't look that good worldwide, this is certainly a bonus point to find a new job!

Ivon Prefontaine's insight:
I don't think we are, but that is not a problem. The question is "do teachers have the skills, the adaptability, and the learning aptitude?" We cannot fully imagine the next wave or generation of technology.

Answer: not really.
But! "...55 percent say they’ve learned how to use interactive whiteboards."

"This report analyzes key drivers that will reshape the landscape of work and identifies key work skills needed in the next 10 years. It does not consider what will be the jobs of the future.
To be successful in the next decade, individuals will need to demonstrate foresight in navigating a rapidly shifting landscape of organizational forms and skill requirements. They will increasingly be called upon to continually reassess the skills they need,
Love the trajectory here and implications for teachers (and learners). I see progress, in terms of people aligning what they do with what is needed. We still have a long way to go.

Interessant rapport waarbij 'Change' in organisaties en bij mensen een zeer nadrukkelijke rol speelt. De tekenenen zien we nu al bij organisaties ontstaan. Het onderzoek is welliswaar primair gericht op Amerika, maar door de verdere globalisering en internationalisering interessant voor een ieder die met mensen werkt of gaat werken! |

Finding the best education technology tools is a time-consuming task. It may even be viewed as a chore (for some). Not with this fabulous list, though! Via Gust MEES, Cathleen Nardi

TeachThought.com has a series of posts about self-directed learning by Terry Heick and the staff, well worth a read! “
“Learning is most effective when it’s personalised; it means something to the learner. That happens when people feel they are participants and investors in their own learning, shaping what and how they learn, and able to articulate its value to them.” — Leadbeater, Charles
Via Gust MEES, Jim Lerman
Ivon Prefontaine's insight:
It is interesting how few classroom teachers and administrators are aware of what self-directed learning is. SDL is an imperative for our children.

My Thoughts: You can't teach someone how to learn. You can give them helpful tips and advice, but a single structure for education is not going to work for everyone. It's so much harder for people to learn their true potential, to reach their goals, when they're only shown a single path to them. You show them the path through the forest, but what if there's a rock face nearby that also leads up to where they want to go, and what if they happen to be a fantastic rock climber? It just makes more sense to show someone a map if you can, instead of directing them towards only one path.

The conclusions at the end make the article. We need to ensure that we choose the right tool for the learning context and the student or student involved.
