Learning to change

May
This public service campaign video was filmed at the CoSN (Consortium for School Networking) annual conference. The wisdom with which educational leaders like Alan November, Greg Whitby, and Stephen Heppell explicate the urgency of giving teachers the tools to connect with 21C learning and their students is poignant in this video. The massive task of making schooling relevant for today’s learners is communicated with precision. These international educators recognise the need to shift our thinking at all levels by being innovative, thinking creatively and developing 21st century pedagogies that will inspire this generation of learners.

Great video Paul.
Thanks mate - I’ll use some of this at my workshop at CONSTAWA this weekend.
Aren’t you worried?:
55th out 55.
Kids learn ICT DESPITE schools not because of schools.
The virtual closing down of the SLICT project at DET and moving the clever SLICT staff back into schools seems to keep us in 55th place.
What skills will employment require when our kids graduate?
Are we providing those skills?

This video was exactly what I needed/wanted to hear. As a student working towards being a teacher, I find it great to not only revolutionize teaching, but to re-invent it all together. One woman mentioned learning not just in the classroom, but in the community. This had me thinking how we are transitioning to education as classroom view, where students are in a box and have to fill that box with everything their given to a web of learning. This new web of learning includes the classroom of schools, but it also includes the community, home, abroad, and the internet. Does this new view of learning come from how the internet (world wide web) has shaped our understanding?
I liked the conclusion of with the death of education, comes the dawn of learning. Thanks for the great post!
