The document discusses several concepts related to shifting education to better prepare students for the 21st century, including: - Learning as a participatory and collaborative process rather than a passive, individual one - The need to "unlearn" outdated assumptions about learning only happening in the classroom or being a linear process - Models for integrating technology, such as the TPCK model, to develop technological pedagogical content knowledge - Strategies for making lesson plans more focused on 21st century skills like problem-finding, justification, curiosity and community

2. Let’s Discuss the Shifts

3. Learning in a networked community Distributed knowledge Learning as individuals Linear knowledge Learning in a participatory culture Learning as passive participant Teaching as a public collaborative practice Teaching as a private event Learning anytime/anywhere Learning at school Shifting To Shifting From

4. What do we need to unlearn? Example: * I need to unlearn that classrooms are physical spaces. * I need to unlearn that learning is an event with a start and stop time to a lesson. The Empire Strikes Back: LUKE: Master, moving stones around is one thing. This is totally different . YODA: No! No different! Only different in your mind. You must unlearn what you have learned.

5. Marzano’s Essential Strategies Researchers at Mid-continent Research for Education and Learning (McREL) have identified nine instructional strategies that are most likely to improve student achievement across all content areas and across all grade levels. These strategies are explained in the book Classroom Instruction That Works by Robert Marzano, Debra Pickering, and Jane Pollock. 1. Identifying similarities and differences 2. Summarizing and note taking 3. Reinforcing effort and providing recognition 4. Homework and practice 5. Nonlinguistic representations 6. Cooperative learning 7. Setting objectives and providing feedback 8. Generating and testing hypotheses 9. Cues, questions, and advance organizers http://www.middleweb.com/MWLresources/marzchat1.html

6. TPCK Model There is a new model that helps us think about how to develop technological pedagogical content knowledge. You can learn more about this model at the website: http:// tpck.org/tpck/index.php?title =TPCK_-_ Technological_Pedagogical_Content_Knowledge

7. 9000 School 35,000 math and science teachers in 22 countries How are teachers using technology in their instruction? Law, N., Pelgrum, W.J. & Plomp, T. (eds.) (2008). Pedagogy and ICT use in schools around the world: Findings from the IEA SITES 2006 study . Hong Kong: CERC-Springer, the report presenting results for 22 educational systems participating in the IEA SITES 2006, was released by Dr Hans Wagemaker, IEA Executive Director and Dr Nancy Law, International Co-coordinator of the study.

8. Increased technology use does not lead to student learning. Rather, effectiveness of technology use depended on teaching approaches used in conjunction with the technology. How you integrate matters- not just the technology alone. It needs to be about the learning, not the technology. And you need to choose the right tool for the task. As long as we see content, technology and pedagogy as separate- technology will always be just an add on. Findings

9. See yourself as a curriculum designer– owners of the curriculum you teach. Honor creativity (yours first, then the student’s) Repurpose the technology! Go beyond simple “use” and “integration” to innovation! Teacher as Designer

10. Spiral – Not Linear Development Technology USE Mechanical Technology Integrate Meaningful Technology Innovate Generative

11. Shifts focus of literacy from individual expression to community involvement.

12. According to Clay Shirky, there are four scaffolded stages to mastering the connected world: sharing, cooperating, collaborating, and collective action. Share Cooperate (connect) Collaborate Collective Action

13. TPCK Model There is a new model that helps us think about how to develop technological pedagogical content knowledge. You can learn more about this model at the website: http:// tpck.org/tpck/index.php?title =TPCK_-_ Technological_Pedagogical_Content_Knowledge

14. 21st Centurizing your Lesson Plans Step 1- Best Practice Researchers at Mid-continent Research for Education and Learning (McREL) have identified nine instructional strategies that are most likely to improve student achievement across all content areas and across all grade levels. These strategies are explained in the book Classroom Instruction That Works by Robert Marzano, Debra Pickering, and Jane Pollock. 1. Identifying similarities and differences 2. Summarizing and note taking 3. Reinforcing effort and providing recognition 4. Homework and practice 5. Nonlinguistic representations 6. Cooperative learning 7. Setting objectives and providing feedback 8. Generating and testing hypotheses 9. Cues, questions, and advance organizers

15. What are specific strategies you use in your classroom for a particular discipline?

16. Step 2- What Tool Fits? Web 2.0 Tools and Marzano Developed by Stephanie Sandifer (author of Change Agency ) Web2.0 that Works http://web2thatworks.com/index.php?title= Main_Page NECC Presentation http://web2thatworks.com/index.php?title=NECC

17. Bloom's Taxonomy Blooms Digitally By Andrew Churches http://edorigami.wikispaces.com/file/view/bloom%27s+Digital+taxonomy+v2.12.pdf http://www.techlearning.com/shared/printableArticle.php?articleID =196605124 Andrew has embedded 21 st centurized verbs into the new levels of Bloom’s taxonomy.

18. It is never just about content. Learners are trying to get better at something. It is never just routine. It requires thinking with what you know and pushing further. It is never just problem solving. It also involves problem finding. It’s not just about right answers. It involves explanation and justification. It is not emotionally flat. It involves curiosity, discovery, creativity, and community. It’s not in a vacuum. It involves methods, purposes, and forms of one of more disciplines, situated in a social context. David Perkins- Making Learning Whole 21 st Century Learning – Check List

19. Academic Learning Time David Berliner Pace - Is each learner actively engaged? Timing and delivery paced well? Focus Are learning activities within core content aqnd aimed at helping them get better at something? Stretch Are learners being optimally challenged? Not too easy or difficult. Stickiness Is activity designed such that it will stick and not be memorized and forgotten?

20. Pick the Content Choose the Strategy Choose the Tool Create the Learning Activity Use Shirky to Make it 21 st Century ---------------------------------------- 1. Get in groups by discipline. Electives (pick a group to join or work together in a group) 2. What are the Essential Instructional Activities you typically use in your discipline? 3. Have a discussion and list possible Web 2.0 tools that fit nicely with your disciplines essential instructional activities. 4. Create a 21 st Century type instructional activity Think: Share, Connect, Collaborate, Collective Action
