17. The Intellectual and Policy Foundation of the 21 st Century Skills Framework Theory, research, and policy that support the 21 st Century Skills Framework is based on the connection between societal demand and educational response as well as the effects of advances in learning science and learning technology. We must restore to our schools the skills that future citizens will need to succeed in the worlds of work, higher education, and personal life. We must also consider that technology needs to also connect students with the information, people, and real world contexts that will inspire and engage them throughout the entire curriculum.

18. The Intellectual and Policy Foundation of the 21 st Century Skills Framework (con’t) Education and Society “ Education, after all, is the attempt to convey from one generation to the next the skills, values, and knowledge that are needed for successful fife.” Education and Learning Science “ To provide an excellent and equitable education for every child, schools must more effectively incorporate advances in learning science into instructional practice.” Lev Vygotsky-importance of social environment Jean Piaget – constructivism-minds construct from within, not outside. Benjamin Bloom – Taxonomy of cognitive skills ordered hierarchically Howard Gardner – intelligence excellence is also in interpersonal, intrapersonal, spatial, musical, kinesthetic domains beyond the manipulation of abstract symbols, as in reading and mathematics. John Seeley Brown – information has a social life

35. Creativity and Innovation Overview Schools are Killing Creativity Sir Ken Robinson Poll Daddy Creativity Survey SmartStorming

36. Schools are Killing Creativity Sir Ken Robinson Creativity is as important as literacy It is the gift of human imagination According to Picasso, all are born artists but few remain artists as they grow up. Students get educated out of it. Education has established a hierarchy of subjects (Math/languages, humanities, arts to include art/music, drama, and dance) so that education is based on academic ability but why? All should be equally important. We need to educate the whole being so they can face the future, whatever that looks like 50 years from now Engage students in divergent thinking such as asking them to see connections, identify/create metaphors, look for many answers, reinterpret ones. Intelligence is: Diverse (visual, auditory, kinesthetic) Dynamic (we see things differently) Distinct (epiphany moment-not ADHD but Dancer ex.)

37. Poll Daddy Creativity Survey Ten Mental Blocks to Creative Thinking 1. Trying to find the “right” answers 2. Logical thinking 3. Following rules 4. Being Practical 5. Play is not work 6. That’s not my job 7. Be a “serious” person 8. Avoid ambiguity 9. Being wrong is bad 10. I’m not creative The results of my survey were in agreement with the rest of the class in 6 areas. I was usually the one or two far from the “pack” on #1, 2, 4, and 5. I realize that I have been trying to develop the creative side, I am still a traditional learner. In my k-12 education, Math had always been my strength, looking for that one logical right answer. Now that I have taught Reading and English for 25 years, I have begun to develop my right brain, my creative side. I am glad to know the four areas I can focus on before I retire!

38. SmartStorming “ Are you Innovation Inept?” “ Thinking about innovation isn’t the same as innovative thinking.” What is really needed for innovation to happen is a combination of: Motivation-to make the effort in the first place Freedom-to explore and express without the fear of reprisal Systems-for sharing, developing, and promoting ideas throughout an organization Knowledge-talent and skills required to actually transform an idea into a viable plan and, ultimately, a reality Responsibility-for ensuring that it all happens

39. SmartStorming “ G80/20ogle” Google employees are encouraged to spend 80% of time on core projects and 20% on “innovation” Activities To implement an innovation policy: 1. Create a formal process for project selection, monitoring, and evaluation. 2. Don’t worry about failure. 3. Start small. 4. Let your staff shine. 5. Manage expectations. “ The Awesomeness Manifesto” Awesomeness is the new innovation 1. Ethical production-turn a blind eye or deny ethics 2. Insanely great stuff. .New and unexpected often fails to delight, inspire, and enlighten. 3. Love. Love for what you do is the basis for all real value creation. 4. Thick Value. Versus thin value is real, meaningful, and sustainable to make people authentically better off, not just adding bells and whistles.

40. SmartStorming “ Technology + Design = Apple?” What’s next for technology and design is a lot less thinking about technology for technology’s sake, and a lot more thinking about design. Left-brain thinking is focused on logic and reasoning that is emphasized on the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) subjects. Right-brain thinking is in the key “IDEA” (Intuition, Design, Emotion, Art). We need both halves of the brain to work together-mind and movement.

41. Critical Thinking

42. Bloom’s Taxonomy Benjamin Bloom developed a taxonomy of cognitive objectives in the 1950’s. His taxonomy follows the thinking process beginning on the continuum from Lower Order Thinking Skills to Higher ones. (Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, Analysis, Synthesis, Evaluation) Lorin Anderson , Bloom’s former student, revised his taxonomy in the 1990’s to include verbs instead of gerunds and rearranged the sequencing (Remembering, Understanding, Applying, Analyzing, Evaluating, Creating)

43. Bloom’s Taxonomy Blooms Digitally Bloom’s digital taxonomy map address new objectives presented by the emergence and integration of information and Communication Technologies in to the classroom and the lives of our students:

44. Bloom’s Taxonomy Blooms Digitally Remembering: Bullet pointing, highlighting, bookmarking, social networking, Social bookmarking, Searching, Googling. Understanding: Advanced searching, blog journaling, twittering, categorizing and tagging, commenting, annotating, subscribing. Applying: hacking, uploading, sharing, editing Analyzing: Attributing, outlining, linking, mind-mapping, validating, tagging Evaluating: (Blog) commenting, reviewing, posting, collaborating, networking Creating: animating, Blogging, wikiing, publishing, videocasting, podcasting

45. Problem Solving-Projects-Challenges Overview Progressive Education in the 1940’s “ Engaging Our Youngest Minds: Ignite the “Wow” in Students” Angela Maiers’s Online Conference “ The Virtual Heroic Journey” Kevin Hodgson’s Online Conference Speak Up 2008 For Students, Teachers, Parents, and Administrators

46. Progressive Education in the 1940’s Education in the 1940’s included rote recitation of the multiplication tables, history dates, spelling of words, and geographical location. There was a check for memory, not for understanding. Today, learning is fun. Education is trying to build character, self reliance, and the ability to work with others. Thus, we need to equip students with the skills they will need to face the future. Progressive Education today, K-12, follows the tenet that seeing is believing or to learn by doing. Project-based learning can happen at any age. Ages 6-7 can “go to the grocery store.” Ages 8-9 can learn to “manage a store.” Ages 12-14 can “study airplanes.”

47. “ Engaging Our Youngest Minds: Ignite the “Wow” in Students” Angela Maiers’s Online Conference Student engagement and learning in the digital age must include passion. Find the passion in your students and that is what will drive them to use the technological tools-not the tools themselves. “ Nothing great in this world has been accomplished without passion.” Hegel, 1832 Technological integration is not enough to cultivate this passion; we need to lead students to find their own. To keep students’ inborn sense of wonder alive, their talents and their uniqueness, teachers need to tap into student interest, maintain high standards, and use new technology. Provide experiences, resources, and tools where students can use technology as a platform to share their voices in the world. Students can use technology to research, play, publish, and collaborate with others.

48. “ The Virtual Heroic Journey” Kevin Hodgson’s Online Conference “ Kick it up a notch” in your classroom by having students use Google Maps and Google Earth to create a fictional heroic journey story. This unit can be tied to literature (The Odyssey, The Lightning Thief), writing, and use of technology. The teacher and students begin by reading the graphic novel chronicling Odysseus’s escape of Poseidon’s curse to illustrate the heroic journey and plot device. Next, read The Lightning Thief to follow Percey Jackson in his quest to return Zeus’s stolen lightning bolt. Then use the tools to plot this quest. Students are now ready to create their own heroic journey to include three encounters with creatures marking places on Google Map where the hero encountered the monsters on their journey home. Students had to type their text (story) and embed images of monsters (from his Picassa folder). Mr. Hodgsen then created two web sites to view their work. To view student work, go to http://sites.google.com/sites/heroicjourney . To view a slide show illustrating step by step how to use Google maps, Google earth, and Picassa, go to http://tinyurl.com/heroicjourney.

49. Speak Up 2008 For Students, Teachers, Parents, and Administrators Our nation’s students are a “Digital Advance Team” They are adopters and adapters of new technologies but our schools could be doing more to help them use the tools during the school day. Our students are frustrated that they are inhibited from effectively using computers or the Internet a school. Further, schools have filters or firewalls, teachers limit technology use, and school rules limit their use of technology. After leaving school, they resume their technology-infused lives to communicate, collaborate, create and contribute: Writing Research Take online tests Use online textbook Upload to school portals Use MySpace for collaboration Create power points/videos Communicate with each other Access class information

50. Speak Up 2008 For Students, Teachers, Parents, and Administrators Mobile Learning application: (cell phone, MP3, Smartphone, laptop) Communicate with classmates, teachers Work with classmates on projects Condut Internet research Record lectures to listen to at a later time Receive alerts aobut upcoming homework Access school’s portal Web 2.0 applications: Emai, IM, text messaging tools for communications Discussion boards Social networking sites Chat or online communities MySpace, Facebook, Friendster Write collaboratively with others Create a list of resources to share or remember Notify them of things they are interested in Create and contribute by exploring ideas and express creatify by sharing photos, videos or music, create new videos, music, audio or animation Contritribute ot blogs or wikis

51. Speak Up 2008 For Students, Teachers, Parents, and Administrators Online Learning: To earn college credit To work at their own pace To take a class not offered at their school To get extra help in a subject They are in control of their learning Students are more comfortable asking questions They can review class materials as many times as they want or need Digital Textbook: Personalize book with electronic highlights and notes Take quizzes and tests on their own to assess their own content proficiency or self-paced tutorials Assess links to real-time data (Google Earth) Tap into the expertise of an online tutor whenever necessary Link to PowerPoints of class lectures that support textbook content Explore concepts through games or animations or simulations Access content outside of school through links to video-conferences or podcasts from subject experts Watch video clips about topics they are studying and create podcasts or videos to support their learning.

52. Collaboration

53. Collaboration Overview Collaborate With Others Minds on Fire by John Seely Brown and Richard P. Adler Habits of Mind by Howard Gardner Going Global: Culture Shock, Convergence, & The Future of Education K12 Online Conference by Kim Cofino New NSBA Report on Social Networking “ Young Minds, Fast Times The 21 st Century Digital Learner” by Marc Prensky Keeping the Literacy in 21 st Century Literacies K12 Online Conference by Drew Schrader

54. Collaborate With Others Demonstrate ability to work effectively and respectfully with diverse teams Exercise flexibility and willingness to be helpful in making necessary compromises to accomplish a common goal Assume shared responsibility for collaborative work, and value the individual contributions make by each team member

55. Minds on Fire by John Seely Brown and Richard P. Adler The world has become increasingly “flat” as shown by Tom Friedman. Virtually any place on Earth can be connected to markets anywhere else on Earth and can become globally competitive. We need a well-educated workforce with the requisite competitive skills. We also need to provide support for continuous learning and for the ongoing creation of new ideas and skills.

56. Habits of Mind Howard Gardner

57. Going Global: Culture Shock, Convergence, & The Future of Education K12 Online Conference by Kim Cofino Student need essential skills to succeed in the connected world Flexibility and confidence to adapt to constantly changing situations Communication skills to collaborate effectively with people from different countries and cultures. Tolerance, appreciation, and empathy of other cultures and people. Independence Adventuresome These skills allow global collaboration and communication opportunities. Provide authentic experiences to deepen understanding, to see other places, to see from an outside perspective. Teach with a broader perspective and connect on the world wide web on a daily basis.

58. New NSBA Report on Social Networking National School Board Association findings: 81% of students say they’ve visited a social networking site in the last three months 71% say they use these sites at least weekly One in five post online comments on a daily basis, 41% at least weekly. 22% admitted to uploading videos, 9% on a weekly basis 30% publish their own blogs, 17% updating them weekly Only 18% claimed they’d seen inappropriate language on social networking sites 7% said they had experienced cyber bullying Only 4% acknowledged having conversations on social network that made them uncomfortable

59. New NSBA Report on Social Networking (con’t) The report suggested that parents have a higher expectation about the potential benefits of social medial than educators. Flynn suggested this might be due to the amount of time parents witness their kids using these tools, contrast to educators. Parents see the amount of time their students are spending online posting photos, blogging, or updating their personal web sites. Some educators have embraced these social media tools as a way to engage their students to make core content more relevant. Flynn summarizes that the Internet and social networks are a reality in the lives of our students and will likely play an increasingly important role in their future. They will not always be online in protected environments so they must develop the tools they need to interact safely and responsibly on line. By working with educationally, age-appropriate tools, students can learn those skills.

60. “ Young Minds, Fast Times The 21 st Century Digital Learner” by Marc Prensky How would tech obsessed kids improve our schools? Our students have little input into their own education and its future Students (must have) an equal voice in their own education What experiences in school really engage students? How do you use technology in school as opposed to outside of school? What are your pet peeves? CPA=Continuous Partial Attention is the need to be a live node on the network, continually text messaging, checking the cell phone, and jumping on email. “ It is always-on, anywhere, anytime, anyplace behavior that involves an artificial sense of constant crisis. We pay continuous partial attention in an effort not to miss anything.” Students voices: “ If you give us a goal, we’ll get there. Give us questions (rather than answers) Let us share our opinions Let us participate in group projects Let us work with real-world issues and people”

61. Keeping the Literacy in 21 st Century Literacies K12 Online Conference by Drew Schrader Screentoaster + Think Alouds Teacher reads novel aloud Teacher stops reading and does a think aloud on screentoaster (to model what good readers do) Students can play it Diigo + Annotated Text Teacher provides annotated text to guide students Students can highlight text and add sticky notes Prezi + Mind Mapping Students need to organize ideas before writing Prezi allows them to web their ideas

62. Building Professional Learning Communities

63. Building Professional Learning Communities Overview Teachers Can Become 21 st Century Learners by Building Their Own PLN Going Global: Culture Shock, Convergence, & The Future of Education K12 Online Conference by Kim Cofino LAN: Learning is Social! K12 Online Conference by Bryan Hughes

64. Teachers Can Become 21 st Century Learners by Building Their Own PLN “ It can be difficult at first, but developing and expanding your own personal learning network may end up being the most rewarding professional development of your career. Connect regularly with individuals and groups that can push your thinking, support your learning, and collaborate on projects in and out of the classroom means that you are learning where you need it, when you need it.” -Kim Cofino

65. Going Global: Culture Shock, Convergence, & The Future of Education K12 Online Conference by Kim Cofino Begin to develop your own personal learning network, especially with educators living in different countries around the world. It doesn’t matter where you are in the world. People you choose to include become your colleagues who are learning together with you, sharing ideas with you and collaborating with you on similar concepts at your own pace.

66. Going Global: Culture Shock, Convergence, & The Future of Education K12 Online Conference by Kim Cofino Personal Learning Network: RSS Reader- “Learn by lurking.” Join Social Networks- Ning (Like walking into the teacher’s lounge.) Start your own blog. Develop your online profile. Attend online conferences. Use Skype. Twitter – Build your network, expand your interest, and make more real time connections with other educators around the world.

67. LAN: Learning is Social! K12 Online Conference by Bryan Hughes Breathe new life into professional development Have a LAN Party-teachers prefer to say it stands for “Learning at Night” Party but it is actually an acronym for “Local Area Network” These parties would introduce real networking with in the school, district, and around the world. Bryan Hughes incorporated Kim Cofino’s idea of educators sitting around with laptops, engaged in discussion Three key ingredients: conversation, idea, food. Teachers met at school from 5-7PM. Sessions would be offered and teachers could pick the presentation they wanted to view. Following their sessions, teachers would reconvene, eat, and discuss what they learned. These sessions would enable teachers to see and talk about what educators were doing around the world. When possible, teachers could even talk with presenters using Skype. Thus, teachers would be providing their own professional development and would be able to integrate ideas into their own teaching right away. Their professional learning communities would be established and in place to continue their collaboration.

68. 21 st Century Learning Implications Outline Going Global: Culture Shock, Convergence, & The Future of Education K12 Online Conference by Kim Cofino Speak Up 2008 Science Leadership Academy Horizon Report K12 Progressive Education in the 1940s Did You Know 2.0? Did You Know 4.0?

69. Implications Going Global: Culture Shock, Convergence, & The Future of Education K12 Online Conference by Kim Cofino 1. Incorporate mobile computing devices that can be taken any place and used whenever. 2. Education needs to be more adaptable to change. Instead of thinking “that’s the way we’ve always done it,” content and delivery have changed as well as what students want to learn and what they need to do with it. 3. Learning shouldn’t stop at the ringing of the school bell in the afternoon. Learning should take place when students are ready for it. Thus, utilize online learning, asynchronous communication, and differences between time zones to find a schedule that meets the needs of teachers and students. 4. Classrooms should encourage and reward collaboration and shared reasonability rather than working in isolation where the teacher is the single source. 5. Pot Roast versus Stir Fry. Schools need to focus on how to respond to new situations and to rapidly meet students’ needs in a fast moving world.

70. Implications Going Global: Culture Shock, Convergence, & The Future of Education K12 Online Conference by Kim Cofino (con’t) 6. There must be a blending of the old and new. Work toward a blended approach using technological tools when appropriate to provide opportunities for diverse learners or to accommodate distance, time, or instructional needs. 7. Avoid “just in time” delivery or “just in case” presentation of curriculum. Design authentic assessments that put important curricular content into context and thus reexamine curriculum. 8. A more flexible approach in finances should be adopted. Create individualized learning plan designed by the student and sources from a variety of financially viable options and delivered in cost effective ways better than traditional fixed value, fixed location, and fixed length of courses. 9. Globalization of technologies would incorporate foreign influences and maintain traditional cultural identities and thus, get a global perspective.

71. Implications Speak Up 2008 Alvin Toffler said, “The illiterate of the 21 st century won’t be those who cannot red or write, but those that cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.”

72. Implications Speak Up 2008 Recommendations: Un-tether learning and leverage mobile devices to extend learning beyond the school day and meet all learners in their own world. Create new interactive, participatory learning spaces using such tools as online classes, gaming and simulations, online tutors and virtual reality environments Incorporate Web 2.0 tools into daily instruction, especially those that develop collaborative or social-based learning and provide unique opportunities for students to be content developers. Expand digital resources in the classroom to add context and relevancy to learning experiences through new media tools. Get beyond the classroom walls and make learning truly experiential, such as using high-tech science instrumentation and creating podcasts with content experts.

73. Implications Science Leadership Academy Chris Lehmann has created a place of education for students he referred to as “lifelong kindergarten” where the curriculum is student centered and inquiry driven. He believes student ought to be metacognitive, that is, they need to think about their thinking. How do I learn best? How do I think the best? How do I work the best? Technology, he stated, must be like oxygen: Ubiquitous Necessary Invisible

74. Implications Horizon Report Technology has an impact on teaching, learning, research, and creative expression within education around the globe. There are emerging trends and challenges facing us today. Collaborative Environments: Online tools can be used to work creatively, develop teamwork skills, and to gain world perspectives. Online Communication tools : IM, online chat via desktop video conferencing Mobile Devices: multi-touch interfaces, social networking, learning, productivity, iphone.

75. Implications Progressive Education in the 1940s The keystone of progressive education is the teacher. Necessary qualifications are: Ingenuity Patience A thousand eyes Great physical endurance According to John Dewey, we need to prepare our children for their world, the world of the future.

76. Implications Did You Know 2.0? A surge of new technologies and social media innovations is altering the medial landscape. Convergence is everywhere. These changes are affecting the way people behave. Online newspaper readers Digital advertising Video uploads to YouTube Text messaging Cell phones Twitter posts Social networking Emails The mobile device will be the world’s primary connection tool to the internet in 2020 Students who have never held a textbook will hold the world in their laptops.

77. Implications Did You Know 4.0? Shift Happens We are currently preparing students for jobs and technologies that don’t yet exist…in order to solve problems we don’t even know are problems yet. Albert Einstein once said, “We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them. Ask: Are we providing the resources and training necessary to prepare students to be successful in 21 st Century society?
