Focuses on 21st century skills, content knowledge and expertise. Builds understanding across and among core subjects as well as 21st century interdisciplinary themes Emphasizes deep understanding rather than shallow knowledge Engages students with the real world data, tools, and experts they will encounter in college, on the job, and in life--students learn best when actively engaged in solving meaningful problems Allows for multiple measures of mastery VISION21st Century ContentGlobal awarenessFinancial, economic, business, and entrepreneurial literacyCivic literacyHealth and wellness awarenessCORE CONCEPTSCore subjectsLanguage artsMathematicsScienceWorld languagesCivic and governmentEconomics HistoryGeography

Relax school rules about email, IM, cell phone and online use

Are used to receiving information really fastLike to parallel process and multitaskPrefer graphics before their textPrefer random access (like hypertext)Function best when networkedThrive on instant gratification and frequent rewardsPrefer games to “serious” work

http://www.nmc.org/horizon/2007/user-created-contentConfronting the Challenges of Participatory Culture: Media Education for the 21st CenturyHenry JenkinsA growing body of scholarship suggests potential benefits of these forms of participatory culture, including:opportunities for peer-to-peer learning, a changed attitude toward intellectual property, the diversification of cultural expression, the development of skills valued in the modern workplace, and a more empowered conception of citizenship. Participatory culture shifts the focus of literacy from one of individual expression to community involvement.The new literacies almost all involve social skills developed through collaboration and networking.These skills build on the foundation of traditional literacy, research skills, technical skills, and critical analysis skills taught in the classroom.

Nontraditional forms are emerging that call for new ways of evaluating and disseminating work. Increasingly, scholars are beginning to employ methods unavailable to their counterparts of several years ago, including prepublication releases of their work, distribution through nontraditional channels, dynamic visualization of data and results, and new ways to conduct peer reviews using online collaboration. These new approaches present a new challenge: to protect the integrity of scholarly activity while taking advantage of the opportunity for increased creativity and collaboration. http://graphs.gapminder.org/http://www.nmc.org/horizonproject/2007/massively-multiplayer-educational-gamingidentifying games that are goal-oriented and those that are more social in nature; games that are easy to construct and play, and those that are more complex and time-consuming; and games developed expressly for education versus commercial games that are appropriated for educational use. One genre that offers interesting potential for education is massively multiplayer online (MMO) games, which bring many players together in activities that are sometimes collaborative and sometimes competitive, generally goal-oriented, and often tied to a storyline or theme.

The Agricultural Age and Industrial Age? Or the Communication Age, the Biotechnology Age and the NanotechnologyAge? Do we prepare them for the world of tomorrow, or the farms andfactories of yesterday?

Around what enduring understandings, essential questions, and standards should our programs be built to better prepare our students for their future? “This is a story about the big public conversation the nation is not having about education… whether an entire generation of kids will fail to make the grade in the global economy because they can’t think their way through abstract problems, work in teams, distinguish good information from bad, or speak a language other than English.”“How to Build a Student for the 21st Century”, TIME Magazine, December 18, 2006

Ask participants to put name and contact information and an innovative thing they have done or something they want to LearnMake a paper airplane out of it…Ask the participants to make another paper airplane, this timeimproving the design and performance. While they’re making theirsecond airplane, pick up many of the first round planes and put them ona table to display.When they’re finished, have them all fly together again. Often times,the second round of flights is worse than the first because theymodify the existing design by adding more elements to the plane.Collect the second planes and put on another nearby table.Now it's time to talk. We look at the first planes - everyone isdifferent (paper, size, folds etc...) yet they all are based on the sameparadigm on how to build planes...and they don't fly well. It's just theway we do it.I make the point that teachers are required to do more and morethese days, that curriculum is piling on but the planes design does notchange...we just add more to it.

Then I go to the second table to look at the new improved planes...theylook interchangeable with the first planes...just more added on andoften fly worse.The key moment occurs when I talk about the flawed paradigm we useto design our planes. Then I take a plane, crumple it into a ball andthrow it. This crumpled ball is inevitably a farther flying, moreaccurate plane then the complex ones they made.The point: sometimes as educators \"unlearning\" is more important thandoing more to or for students. We need to keep it simple and focus onwhat really counts. How students learn, not how we teach oradministrate.
