Driving Innovation in K-12

Driving Innovation in K-12 | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Chris Kennedy is the Superintendent of Schools / CEO with the West Vancouver School District (West Vancouver, BC). He has taught secondary English and Social Studies, and been both an elementary and secondary school principal.

 

Some assumptions for the next 5 years:

 

Teachers and schools are status quo (sense of community/social-emotional learning)


Learning, not technology, is the driver


Good writing (and what we often call “the core” curriculum) still matters


Complex problems often have a simple solution
External inventions (like the iPad) will continue to impact what we do, and we have no control over this!


Teachers need to know where to begin: “personalization” and “digital literacy” are broad and ambiguous terms, so we need to narrow the framework


We can’t wait for the decisions of others. It is ”go” time. Now

Emotions And Learning: Part I: The eLearning Coach @elearningcoach

Emotions And Learning: Part I: The eLearning Coach @elearningcoach | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Cognitive scientists define emotions as powerful, usually short-lived experiences that are a reaction to a specific stimulus. As part of the human evolutionary legacy, emotions arise from a rapid appraisal of an object or event’s significance in order to prepare us for action—similar to an alert system.


Emotions not only increase our general awareness and help us adapt to changes in an unpredictable environment, but they also

===> facilitate social communication and interaction. <===

 

That’s because we read the emotions of others through their facial expressions, bodily postures, gestures and tone of voice.

No Disconnect: European Commission to develop Human Rights guidance for the ICT sector « Digital Agenda Commissioner – Neelie Kroes | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
European Commission...

 

Great news today as the Commission starts the process of providing human rights guidance to the ICT sector – kicking off a process to make it easier for makers and users of ICT products and services to know the impact their technology has on Human Rights across the world.


When you look at events like the Arab Spring, you see that sometimes technology plays a positive role in the democratisation process – allowing activists to coordinate peaceful protests. But sometimes, it is less benign – as when despotic governments use ICT as a tool for surveillance or repression.

FULL marks to Apple for devising ways to improve how science, mathematics and other topics are taught in primary and secondary schools across America.

 

This is what Sir Ken Robinson, a leading authority on education reform, calls the “industrial model” of education. As professor of education at Warwick University, Dr Robinson led a national commission on creativity, education and the economy for the British government, and has spent the past decade trying to prevent education authorities from stifling their students’ inner passions.

 

===> In his view, creativity is as important in education as literacy—and should be given equal emphasis. <===

Every Member State needs a Digital Champion! « Digital Agenda Commissioner – Neelie Kroes | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
The economy of the future is digital. Already today it’s hard to think of many jobs where familiarity with computers and the Internet is not helpful: in the near future, 90% of jobs will require some level of digital literacy.

 

The answer is for every member state to have their own “digital champion” – a high-profile, dynamic and energetic individual responsible for getting everyone in their country online and improving digital skills. They would work with education authorities, industry, and grassroots activists; independent of central government, but reporting to it.
