Current StatisticsDr Stuart Middleton
• Starting school – promise that will lead somewhere
• 20% disappeared from education by age 16• 12.5% Secondary truants each day• 4500 leave primary but fail to enter secondary• Learning for all? Carry on doing same = will get
worse.• Similar in Aussie, Britain, Canada, USA
![Page 5: Extracts from the Rotorua Conference 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070411/56814767550346895db4a353/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Future Outlook
• Won’t be able to sustain economy - similar development, similar issues
• Universal primary, secondary, tertiary• Unease socially and politically with
education• Unprecedented levels of disengagement
(Physical, Virtual, Unintended)• Disconnect between education and the
economy
![Page 6: Extracts from the Rotorua Conference 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070411/56814767550346895db4a353/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Diversification
• Low skill / unskill jobs – immigration, now exporting
• Successful students are . . .
• 1980’s into 1990’s – diversity at bottom end of tertiary
• Creation of Disengaged – 3 form cohert irregular, retention for 5 years at school 15% to 65% stay
![Page 7: Extracts from the Rotorua Conference 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070411/56814767550346895db4a353/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Disengagement
• Maori physical disengagement• Pacific Virtual disengagement• Marginally successful, unprepared to go
anywhere• Learning Triad – Readiness, Quality,
Progress• Container terminal• Bilingual brains are better, being Bilingual is
normal• Language based on same underlying skills

NZ CurriculumNZ CurriculumVision statementVision statement
Students will need 21st century skills to enable them to be
“confident, connected, actively involved, lifelong learners”
(Ministry of Education, 2007, p.7.)

So what has changed at school?
![Page 15: Extracts from the Rotorua Conference 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070411/56814767550346895db4a353/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
“A yawning chasm, (with the emphasis on yawning),
separates the world inside the schoolhouse
from the world outside.”
Wallis and Steptoe, 2006
![Page 16: Extracts from the Rotorua Conference 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070411/56814767550346895db4a353/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
“Schools are stuck in the 20th century. Students have rushed into the 21st
century.How can schools catch up and provide students with a relevant education?”
Marc PrenskyAuthor - ‘Don’t Bother Me mum, I’m Learning’
“Outside they are fully engaged in their 21st century lives. If educators want to
have relevance in this century it is crucial we find ways to engage students in
school.”

![Page 18: Extracts from the Rotorua Conference 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070411/56814767550346895db4a353/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Question To Consider
1. How do you use ICT?
2. Where / How did you learn to use ICT?
3. Why would you want your students to use ICT?
4. Why would your students want to use ICT?
![Page 19: Extracts from the Rotorua Conference 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070411/56814767550346895db4a353/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Some Background
• Average age of a Secondary Teacher is 49
• Significant lag between the emergence of a technology and its adoption in a school
What do these statements suggest?
![Page 20: Extracts from the Rotorua Conference 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070411/56814767550346895db4a353/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
If I’m 49
• I saw / heard the landing on the moon• I owned vinyl records and wanted a CD player• My family owned a B&W TV – with one channel• Video players were amazing and then whole
shops appeared that would rent me a video• Computers filled a room, then got smaller and
could be bought, but they were very precious
![Page 21: Extracts from the Rotorua Conference 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070411/56814767550346895db4a353/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
If I’m 16• The lunar landing is ancient history• I download all my music• A 32” LCD TV is small and I have lots of movies
on a hard disk• I constantly update my Bebo / Facebook /
Myspace• I communicate constantly by text and chat• Computers are a means to an ends. I take and
carry photos and videos on my cell phone
![Page 22: Extracts from the Rotorua Conference 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070411/56814767550346895db4a353/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Technology Changes
• E-portfolio’s
• 24/7 learner
• Mobility, access,
• Challenge to current school policies / practices / beliefs
• Ban v Educate
• Value for money – connection, service
![Page 23: Extracts from the Rotorua Conference 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070411/56814767550346895db4a353/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Professional Development or Professional Learning?PD
• Is usually focussed on 1 initiative at a time
• Staff meetings often feel fragmented
• It sometimes feels overwhelming – like we have “initiativ-itis”
PL• Embraces several
initiatives at once• Allows for
complementary staff meetings etc
• It sometimes feels more manageable
![Page 24: Extracts from the Rotorua Conference 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070411/56814767550346895db4a353/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Some common examples
• Usernames/passwords• Photocopiers/printing• Laptop admin access• Access to SMS/LMS/email
from home• Cables• No formal way of
requesting ICT support• Teachers banned from
good PD sites• Favourites unused
• Slow Internet speed due to student abuse of system
• Notification of outages• No student voice• No teacher voice• Personalisation of
desktops blocked• Under-use of LMS etc• TTWWADI & Fear
![Page 25: Extracts from the Rotorua Conference 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070411/56814767550346895db4a353/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
…then we can end up with this…..(Beware of pain you get used to!)
![Page 26: Extracts from the Rotorua Conference 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070411/56814767550346895db4a353/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The Teachers’ Role
Once seen as “Knowledge Holders” now replaced by Google.
To support the students with
• Advice
• Access
• Finding solutions
• Providing (some) resources
• Confirmation / review
![Page 27: Extracts from the Rotorua Conference 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070411/56814767550346895db4a353/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
From the e-learning strategy
“The lifelong ability to locate, evaluate, use, and create information”
![Page 28: Extracts from the Rotorua Conference 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070411/56814767550346895db4a353/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
To be information literate, a person must be able to
recognize:• When information is needed and have the
ability to locate, evaluate, and use effectively the needed information and create new information.
Information literate people are those who have learned how to learn.
![Page 29: Extracts from the Rotorua Conference 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070411/56814767550346895db4a353/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
ICT In Schools
It’s not about teaching ICT
ICT is an enabler for learning!
![Page 30: Extracts from the Rotorua Conference 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070411/56814767550346895db4a353/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
From “They” to “We”
We need to make continuous progress, and stop blaming Them:
• Focus on Continuous Improvement• Not Every Step is a Success• Look out for “can’t” when what is meant is
“won’t”• Celebrate Any and All Progress• Remember that the Round Wheels are Already
In the Wagon• Engage and Enlist the Energy of All
![Page 31: Extracts from the Rotorua Conference 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070411/56814767550346895db4a353/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
But………
![Page 32: Extracts from the Rotorua Conference 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070411/56814767550346895db4a353/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
What is an e-Portfolio?
“An organised collection of digital and/or analog artifacts and reflective statements that demonstrate growth over time.’
Helen Barrett

School Culture
Implementing Change
![Page 34: Extracts from the Rotorua Conference 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070411/56814767550346895db4a353/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Misalignment is bad enough in a business ….
But in a school where ICT can sometimes appear to be managed as
“yet another add on”:• Disaster is looming• Misalignment amongst stakeholders will
ensure ICT remains semi-detached from the needs of our learners, and…..
• …there are serious implications for how we develop and implement NZC
![Page 35: Extracts from the Rotorua Conference 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070411/56814767550346895db4a353/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world: indeed it is the only thing that ever has!” Margaret Mead.

So why are we here??
• Improving teaching quality and learning outcomes for all students
• Strengthening communities of professional practice supported
through the smart use of information and communications technologies.

Peter Senge said:
• "Success in the old paradigm becomes inertia in the new one" - a great quote when considering why current leadership practices may not be preparing us for the future!
• "Vested interests fight against change"
