               A Vision of Innovative
               Teaching and Learning
Introduction
“The goal of education in the 21st century is not
                                        simply the mastery of content knowledge or use
                                          of new technologies. It is the mastery of the
                                            learning process. Education should help
                                         turn novice learners into expert learners—
                                        individuals who want to learn, who know how to
                                         learn strategically, and who, in their own highly
                                          individual and flexible ways, are well prepared
                                                    for a lifetime of learning.”
                                                               National Center on UDL

Values
“We need to teach kids to respect the
   past but to live in the future.”
           Marc Prensky
These thoughts drive me...
“If you don't like change,
    you're going to like
 irrelevance even less.”
    General Erick Shinseki




                             From: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nasarobonaut/5478897371/
“...as educators, our struggle is especially acute. We not
only have to “train” our kids for the twenty first century,
                we have to train ourselves.”
                     - Will Richardson

As we go through this,
there are two things that I
want you to think about...
Growth                           Fixed




         What is your mindset?
"You don't lead by pointing and telling people some
  place to go. You lead by going to that place and
                  making a case."
                    ~ Ken Kesey
Context
“Just as the telephone, automobile, and
airplane reshaped our society in the first half
   of the twentieth century, the new digital
    infrastructure is beginning to reshape
        institutions in the twenty-first.”
                 John Seely Brown

This is not the wisdom of the crowd, but the wisdom of
someone in the crowd. It’s not that the network itself is
                   smart; it’s that the
        individuals get smarter because they’re
              connected to the network.”
