Education Summit "Digital Exposure"
The document discusses how learning is changing from isolated and generic learning to connected, personalized, and lifelong learning. It notes that knowledge is moving from individuals to networks of individuals. It argues that schools need to change from their traditional models to adapt to this new landscape where learning is mobile, networked, global, and collaborative. It provides eight shifts that schools and learners need to make, such as learning to interact with strangers, developing an online presence or "G-portfolio", becoming skilled with digital tools, learning to manage and synthesize information, developing skills to evaluate sources of information, following personal passions, and learning how to be lifelong learners.

The document discusses the digital divide and the One Laptop Per Child initiative. The One Laptop Per Child goal aims to reduce the digital divide by providing children access to technology to get engaged in their own education and connect to each other, the world, and a brighter future. The summary asks how to help support the One Laptop Per Child initiative through donations of cash, vehicles, or other assistance.
One laptop per child
One Laptop Per Child's mission is to provide every school-aged child in developing countries with a connected laptop to empower them to learn. They believe access to this technology will engage children in their own education by allowing them to learn, share, create and collaborate. The organization works with software engineers and industrial designers to create a rugged, low-cost laptop with educational content and software. They then distribute the laptops to villages and towns around the world with the goal of placing a laptop in the hands of every child without access to computer-based education.

The document discusses how the world of learning is changing as the internet allows for easy, anytime, anywhere access to information and connections between individuals. It argues that schools need to shift to being more mobile, networked, personalized, and learner-driven to meet the needs of 21st century students. The author provides eight shifts that educators and schools should make, such as being open to learning from strangers online, helping students curate an online portfolio, and empowering students to follow their passions.
21st Century Learning_Dakota Planning
This document discusses the need for 21st century learning models in schools. It notes that schools are disconnected from how students learn outside of school with today's technology. Students' digital lifestyles can undermine social skills and focus while increasing risks like addiction and declining literacy. The document calls for more balance, acknowledging students' digital expertise while helping teachers apply life experiences to guide students. It presents a model for 21st century fluency and lists resources, and asks for feedback on using this model at Dakota Collegiate.

The Case for iCivics
iCivics was founded by Justice Sandra Day O'Connor after she retired from the Supreme Court in 2006 to address a lack of civic knowledge among students. iCivics partnered with Filament Games in 2009 to develop educational games about civics that provide goals, feedback and inquiry like other games. Since then, iCivics games have been played over two million times in every state. Recent expansions include full curriculum units, avatars, achievements and real-life student service projects to further engage users.

Community Based Lifelong Learning in UK-for Korea
This document summarizes a presentation on community-based lifelong learning in the UK. It discusses the history of adult education in the UK through organizations like mechanics institutes. It outlines the vision of the Future of Lifelong Learning inquiry, including its 10 recommendations such as basing policy on a four-stage model of education and building entitlements. Current UK policy and practice is examined, including efforts on literacy, digital inclusion, and valuing non-vocational learning. European examples from a German learning regions project are provided. The presentation looks to share knowledge and ideas between the UK and Europe on advancing lifelong learning.

Towards a digital school
This text introduces the results of the first phase in the characterization of the teachers in a school, where a process of shared reflection was initiated, with a view to developing a digital culture in the school community’s day to day. Although it may well be assumed that we are dealing with a process of transformation which involves different dimensions and, at this diagnostic stage, that other subjects and areas of intervention have been analysed, we have chosen to broach here the variable of “teachers” as they appear to us as one of the determining pillars in any process of transformation within the school institution.
Seven group interviews covering a total of 53 teachers and educators were carried out, in other words, almost half of the teaching body in the school. In accordance with the objectives of the study and the respective guide, the analysis of the content of the interviews’ transcripts had to mainly reveal the perceptions of the teachers and educators, and what digital technology they already use in the school.
The results presented here confirm the idea that, from the professional point of view, the teachers use technology mainly for the preparation of the classes, although in the case of this school, they also use it regularly to support presenting material to the pupils. The teachers were seen to be very capable especially with the tools of productivity, as well as the tools to gain access to information and communication through the Internet, which they use both for personal ends and to prepare their lessons.

Lesson plans - Future school
The document contains 3 lesson plans focused on exploring future schools in the year 2020, with activities covering subjects like music, math, languages, science and more. Lesson plans include imaginative activities like role-playing as researchers exploring a future school, calculating future travel times, and creating podcasts, plays and stories about themes like Christmas in the future. The lessons aim to develop students' creativity, collaboration skills, and learning in areas such as literacy, math, and science concepts.
Classrooms For The Future Presentation For Teachers
The document describes a Classrooms for the Future program that aims to transform classrooms into technology-rich, learner-centered environments to better prepare students for the 21st century. The program provides teachers with laptops, printers, projectors and other equipment. In exchange, teachers must participate in professional development courses on integrating technology and changing teaching practices. A coach will also be available to support teachers as they learn to use technology in new ways and align lessons with curriculum standards. The goal is to improve student achievement through innovative teaching approaches that develop skills like creative thinking, collaboration and problem solving.
