Learning How2Learn- Change- Rethink-Amplify
We live in a time and space when it is is truer than ever that "change is the only constant”.
What are some cultural shifts in our fast changing world, that have an impact on our own learning as educators and leaders? How do we adapt to this in a school environment? Can we dwell on our experience and degrees as educators and continue to stay relevant? Learning how to learn might be the most important skill we did not learn when we were in school.
Do you have to be a tech guru to be literate in a digital world? Or are the ones who are self- motivated, life-long learners and the ones who are accepting of and embracing change the ones flourishing in the modern world? We will take a look at the urgency of shifting school culture to a culture of learning how to learn. Let's talk about LEARNING, not technology!

The Globally Connected Educator- Beyond Plugging In Towards Global PedagogySilvia Rosenthal Tolisano
With the increasingly interconnected nature of our global society and the need for a very different kind of literacy for our students, extending teaching and learning beyond the walls of our classrooms is especially vital in this digital age.
If you want globally connected students, you need globally connected teachers who are capable of communicating, collaborating and connecting to experts and peers from around the world. These educators are harnessing the power of global connections for their own learning in order to bring the world to their students.
What does collaboration, communication and connections mean in a connected world? What are the steps in becoming a globally connected educator? How do we move from being consumers to producers and contributors? How do we modernize and globalize our classroom practices while expanding our professional learning network to include colleagues from around the world?

This manifesto discusses evolving approaches to learning and education. It advocates for a "Knowmadic" paradigm where learning is complex, creative, and self-organizing rather than hierarchical. Relationships are holographic rather than mechanical. Reality is viewed as contextual rather than objective. The author believes schools should prepare students to be "knowmads" - nomadic knowledge workers who can learn and work anywhere. By 2020, 45% of the workforce may be knowmads. The future belongs to creative thinkers who can break rules thoughtfully and build trust. The author promotes an open, flat, impactful, networked approach to transforming education through collaboration.
There have been three eras of globalization according to the author. The world first began globalizing from 1400 to 1800 when it shrunk from "Size Large" to "Size Medium" starting with Columbus' discovery. From 1800 to 2000, globalization further increased trade, jobs, and economic growth. The third era began in 2000 when the world "flattened" as people from all countries began globalizing themselves through increased connectivity and outsourcing.
Mark Zuckerberg is the co-founder and CEO of Facebook. He created the messaging program "Zucknet" at age 12 and went on to create Facebook while studying at Harvard University. Facebook received investment from Accel Partners in 2005 and expanded rapidly to millions of users. After taking the company public, Zuckerberg became the youngest CEO on the Fortune 500 list at age 28. Though initially criticized, he has led Facebook to great success and used his wealth to establish philanthropic causes like donating $100 million to Newark schools.

The document discusses how businesses need to evolve and adapt to changing economic conditions. It notes that the recession will not last forever but the economy will not return to normal, and organizations need to be responsive to change. Examples are given of how large companies like P&G and GM are adapting to new trends in technology, globalization, and customer preferences. The key message is that organizations should not get discouraged by economic downturns but should get motivated to change and adapt in order to survive.
The document discusses how technology impacts freedom and control. It notes that anything seen as normal in one's youth tends to be seen as natural, while newer technologies are seen as revolutionary. However, technologies developed after age 35 are often viewed as unnatural. The document also examines how social media platforms aim to organize and provide access to information to users, but also seek to influence and monetize users' attention. It raises ethical issues about how technologies may constrain free will while providing convenience, and questions who truly has control in digital versus analog worlds.

Utilizing Technology to Construct Personalized Learning Experiences
Since the dawn of the computer revolution, the promise of PERSONAL Computing has been ever present. Yet, when we simply leave students to their own devices, technology can serve to depersonalize their experiences. This is especially true of their educational experiences. Meanwhile, as teachers we struggle to effectively manage truly differentiated learning environments. However, this need not be the case. Together, we will explore the possibilities and potential afforded by today’s technology and empower you to utilize technology resources to make learning personal, meaningful, and differentiated for today’s connected students.

Three converging conditions are redefining education by preparing students for an uncertain future:
1) Students have a rich information experience and are accustomed to a deep, connected digital world.
2) The information landscape is dynamic and changing rapidly, with new technologies emerging constantly.
3) Literacy must be redefined beyond just reading and writing to include skills like exposing truth, employing information, expressing ideas, and practicing ethics in a digital world.
Educators must prepare students to teach themselves, focus on students' information experiences, and rethink basic skills and habits to develop a learning lifestyle for continual change.
Three converging conditions are redefining education by preparing students for an uncertain future:
1) Students have a rich information experience and are accustomed to deep, readily available information.
2) The information landscape is dynamic, with new technologies empowering learners through blogging, digital content creation and global communities.
3) Literacy must be redefined from basic reading and writing to include skills like exposing truth, employing information, expressing ideas and ethics in this environment.
Educators must help students learn to teach themselves by paying attention to their information experiences and habits, rather than just skills or lifelong learning, to prepare them for opportunity in an insecure future.

NCAGT 2020 - Visions of the Future: The Road Ahead for Gifted EdBrian Housand
This document summarizes key ideas from a presentation about gifted education and equity. It discusses the need to promote both equity and excellence in gifted programs to ensure all students have access and opportunities. Specifically, it outlines that equity in gifted education does not mean sacrificing the needs of some students or having barriers to access, but rather expanding opportunities for students from all backgrounds to demonstrate their potential. Realizing equity and excellence requires intentionally creating environments where talents in all students can be recognized and developing mindsets, policies and practices that approach gifted education from this shared perspective.

Checklists are provided to ensure Type III work is high-quality and impactful. Overall, the document promotes helping students pursue meaningful problems through noticing, wondering, and independent investigation.
The document discusses failure and the importance of embracing it. It provides several quotes from notable figures emphasizing that failure is an inevitable and necessary part of learning and innovation. Attempting new things carries the risk of failure, but avoiding failure can paradoxically make it more likely by preventing learning and progress. The document encourages an attitude of learning from mistakes and failures rather than seeing them as something to be avoided at all costs.
This document outlines Brian Housand's 2020 winter speaking tour schedule and topics. It promotes developing curiosity and creativity in students and adults.
