Pedagogical Model 2.0 and its
Leadership




                                5
Are we living in a time of
changes or are we witnessing a
change of “era”?




                                 6
What role will education have
in this new concept of society?

Then… How can “educational
institutions” act to cope with
this challenge?



                                  7
To have a central role in
society once again, educational
institutions need new leaders,
capable of generating this
change in meaning.




                                  8
How can we define the Leaders
2.0?




                                9
Leaders 2.0 requirements:

•   Knowledge
•   Strategic vision
•   Courage
•   Passion
•   Commitment
•   Creativity
•   Conviction

Students as producers

• learning has more meaningful when you can shape in some kind of
  production
   Networking helps to put forward different points of views
   To work with others and having to explain their ideas, students become
   aware of one's point of view.
   One of the key aspects of the pedagogical model 2.0 is a broadening of the
   possibilities for students to develop, share and publish their own content.

   2.0 The methodology enhances the possibilities to create, produce and
   share knowledge.
   Students can move from a passive role as consumer to an active role as
   a producer (interest, compromise)
