Trend 2: Social and Intellectual Capital Will become the Primary Economic Value in World Economy In an economy driven by technology and information, increased levels of knowledge are needed. What and who you know will count. Being able to access knowledge and network will be important. Unleashing collective knowledge, ideas, and experiences of people creates and heightens value.

Teachers need to model how to make connections and to collaborate together online. Students will need to develop online community management skills

Trend 3: Education Will Shift from Averages to Personalization Outdated metrics in the states are resulting in preparing students for jobs of the1950s and narrow the curriculum. The counter movement will be one of personalization to ensure support for individual students School Impact - Educators will be expected to bring out the talents of each and every student. Schools will move toward performance based assessments Inquiry driven approaches will become necessary to prepare students for 21 st Century learning

Trend 4: Millennials Will Insist on Solutions to Accumulated Problems Generational experts predict the generation born 1982-2003 will be similar to the “greatest generation” of WWII. They will be willing to lay their life down for causes they feel are just. They will lead the fight for the environment, social injustice, ect. School Impact - Schools will need to intensify efforts to help students become civil, responsible citizens with high self-efficacy. Schools will need to help students develop team building and strong conflict resolution skills, as well as how to use participatory media to build and address a cause. Schools will give students a voice in decisions that affect them, facilitate the synthesis of the information available, accept change as normal, offer generation-spanning PD for teachers.

It is estimated that 1.5 exabytes of unique new information will be generated worldwide this year. That’s estimated to be more than in the previous 5,000 years. Knowledge Creation

For students starting a four-year technical or higher education degree, this means that . . . half of what they learn in their first year of study will be outdated by their third year of study.

Creativity Creativity is now as important in education as literacy and we should treat it with the same status. If you're not prepared to be wrong then you will never come up with anything original. We don't grow into creativity we grow out of it, or rather, we get educated out of it.

Time Travel Lewis Perelman, author of School's Out (1992). Perelman argues that schools are out of sync with technological change: . ..the technological gap between the school environment and the "real world" is growing so wide, so fast that the classroom experience is on the way to becoming not merely unproductive but increasingly irrelevant to normal human existence (p.215). Seymour Papert (1993) In the wake of the startling growth of science and technology in our recent past, some areas of human activity have undergone megachange. Telecommunications, entertainment and transportation, as well as medicine, are among them. School is a notable example of an area that has not (p.2).

Bertelsmann Foundation Report: The Impact of Media and Technology in Schools

2 Groups

Content Area: Civil War

One Group taught using Sage on the Stage methodology

One Group taught using innovative applications of technology and project-based instructional models

End of the Study, both groups given identical teacher-constructed tests of their knowledge of the Civil War.

Question: Which group did better?

Answer… No significant test differences were found

No significant test differences were found

However… One Year Later Students in the traditional group could recall almost nothing about the historical content Students in the traditional group defined history as: “the record of the facts of the past” Students in the digital group “displayed elaborate concepts and ideas that they had extended to other areas of history” Students in the digital group defined history as: “ a process of interpreting the past from different perspectives”

Change is Hard

Real Question is this: Are we willing to change- to risk change- to meet the needs of the precious folks we serve? Can you accept that Change (with a “big” C) is sometimes a messy process and that learning new things together is going to require some tolerance for ambiguity.
