Educational Leadership and Technology

US data but Pew Research is reputable. Privacy is a learned habit and we cannot assume younger people see the need. Maybe they will be proven correct and privacy is not required to the same degree as I feel it is and should be? Thanks Gust Mees.

The Pew Reports are always fascinating.

Youth are sharing more personal information on their profiles than in the past. They choose private settings for Facebook, but share with large networks of friends.

How can these apps support what we do in the classroom? This list helps to motivate me.

Need to look into this... I love it when people take the strain off by finding sites for me.

Thanks for the great list of tools. Symbaloo itself is a great one for using with students. I try to use a small set at a time with children.

Definitely well worth a read

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.

“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

Famous Self-Taughts (Autodidacts): Leonardo Da Vinci, William Blake, Herb Rits (in addition to Virginia Woolf, Mark Twain, John D. Rockefeller, and many others)

A MUST read!

An interesting infographic

Wouldn't this make for a great app?

Infographics are so handy! Great visual feast!

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!

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,
and quickly put together the right resources to develop and update these. Workers in the future will need to be adaptable
lifelong learners"

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.

Recherche très pertinente qui apporte un vent de fraîcheur.  On n'y parle pas des emplois du futur, mais plutôt des compétences ou habiletés requises

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!
