My biggest inspirations however are my two children I often think about how I (and their schools) are preparing them for a brave world How can I nurture them to grow up to be innovators I think here at the Avenues that question has been addressed very comprehensively

Our perspectives need to

E x p a n d

36

Because of my experiences I feel that our perspectives need to expand Continuous improvement is a worthy goal as we try to navigate educational change I would argue that we need to get in front of the bus rather than be stuck coughing exhaust fumes

Education is changing

37

Are parents and educators asking for more

high stakes testing standardized curriculum

and seat time

I think not

38

There seems to be a societal disconnect between the national narrative for educational improvement and what we know and desire based on our work with children

ConnectED

47

This is the most recent initiative put forth by the Obama administration Obama recently traveled to Mooresville NC to announce new efforts to upgrade connectivity train teachers and build on private-sector innovations

New Roles for

Students amp Educators

Content consumers

Content Creators

Content Evaluators

Connected and Networked

48

Many of my peers in education are doing these things I would argue that to be successful in our rapidly changing world adults and kids must be proficient in creating and analyzing digital media in addition to learning to leverage learning networks

Recommendations

bull Un-tether learning and leverage mobile devices to extend learning beyond the school

day and meet all learners in their own world

bull Create new interactive participatory learning spaces using tools such as online classes

gaming and simulations online tutors and virtual reality environments

bull Incorporate Web 20 tools into daily instruction especially those that develop

collaborative or social-based learning and provide unique opportunities for students to

be content developers

bull Expand digital resources in the classroom to add context and relevancy to learning

experiences through new media tools

bull Get beyond the classroom walls and make learning truly experiential such as using high

tech science instrumentation and creating podcasts with content experts
