The document discusses the future design of schools and proposes that schools should be designed in ways that can adapt to an unpredictable future. It provides examples of innovative school designs, such as outdoor classrooms, green spaces indoors, flexible furniture, and buildings incorporated into nature, to demonstrate how schools could be designed. The goal is to create schools that prepare students for an uncertain tomorrow through creative and adaptable learning environments.

A Mixed Methods Look at Self-Directed Online Learning: MOOCs, Open Educatio...cjbonk
Abstract: On April 4, 2001 (i.e., “441”), Charles Vest, then president of MIT, made an historic announcement. He set a goal of having most of his university’s courses freely available on the Web in a decade. While some thought this to be a rather bold proclamation, today more than 2,000 MIT courses are available for self-directed learners around the globe to explore, download, use, and share. Suffice to say, we are in the midst of an incredible array of changes across all sectors of education that would have been unthinkable just a decade or two ago. People in remote parts of the world are learning from well-known professors at Princeton, Rice, Harvard, and MIT; typically, without a fee. Countless millions of individuals are engaged in self-directed, informal, and solitary learning experiences with open educational resources (OER) and OpenCourseWare (OCW). At the same time, myriad others are engaged in highly collaborative and interactive learning with global peers who have signed up for a MOOC or “massive open online course.” As these learning experiments unfold, many aspects of college, and schooling in general, are being called into question. There is debate about the value or even the need for a degree. In response, this study explores the learning experiences of self-directed learners, including the common barriers, obstacles, motivations, and successes in such environments. It also explores possibilities for life change from the use of OER, OCW, and MOOCs. Data collection included subscribers of the MIT OCW initiative as well as participants of a MOOC hosted by Blackboard using CourseSites. The findings not only capture the motivational variables involved in informal and self-directed learning experiences through informal education channels, but also provide a set of stories of life change that might inspire others into MOOCs, open education, and beyond.

Leadership in a connected age: Change, challenge and productive chaos!Judy O'Connell
We cannot hold back the forces of change. The 21st century leader recognises that without keeping an eye on the future we may be doomed to remaining a prisoner of the past. With this eye on the future, the agile leader welcomes innovation, embraces change and thrives on chaos. What skills are necessary to survive in the future? What do you need to do today? Trends in knowledge construction, participatory cultures and social networks can give us the blueprint to successful leadership in our connected age.

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.
1. There's a dark little joke exchanged by educators with a dissident streak:
2. Rip Van Winkle awakens in the 21st century after a hundred-year snooze and is, of course, utterly bewildered by what he sees.
3. Men and women dash about, talking to small metal devices pinned to their ears. Young people sit at home on sofas, moving miniature athletes around on electronic screens.
4. Older folk defy death and disability with metronomes in their chests and with hips made of metal and plastic. Airports, hospitals, shopping malls--every place Rip goes just baffles him.
5. But when he finally walks into a schoolroom, the old man knows exactly where he is. "This is a school," he declares. "We used to have these back in 1907. Only now the blackboards are white."
