Black Swans and the Future of EducationKim Flintoff
“A black swan is an event or occurrence that deviates beyond what is normally expected of a situation and is extremely difficult to predict. Black swan events are typically random and unexpected.”
2017 saw the conclusion of one of the most significant global projects around educational technologies. The Horizon Report K-12 was published for the last time as the New Media Consortium was wound up operations.
During 2018 several new projects emerged around the globe including the CoSN Driving K-12 Innovation project, Australian Educational Technology Trends, and others. Each seeking to bridge the knowledge gap between where education is heading and what will be happening in terms of technology use.
This talk will consider some of the emerging trends, and discuss some of the expectations over the next 2-5 years as they are likely to be experienced by schools, teachers, administrators and technology leaders. Extended reality, drones, eSports, data and analytics, visualisation technologies, space science and astronomy, new strategies for assessment, and other imminent engagements will be discussed.
Balance of the Planet is a project from Curtin University that connects learners from around the globe and invites them to learn valuable skills, compete for scholarship funds and prizes, and gain university-endorsed recognition by solving real-world problems associated with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Student-directed engagement in community-linked STEM integration through coll...Kim Flintoff
Prepared for the Deakin STEM Education Conference 2021.
This paper will be co-authored by a team of participating Year 10 students who are working on a challenge-based learning project in their TIDES (Technology Innovation Design Enterprise Sustainability) class at Peter Carnley Anglican Community School.
They are considering a problem derived from the theme of National Science Week 2021 (Food: Different by Design). The focus on issues relating to Food Security has enabled them to create a body of work that supports deep engagement and a scope of learning that exceeds most traditional content-delivery models. They have been able to generate work that can be submitted across a variety of contexts and to enable entry to several external programs for recognition.
With their teacher, the students will describe and evaluate the processes and ways of working they have adopted, as well as highlighting how their work has produced interdisciplinary artifacts that can be used to guide and assess learning across a range of subject areas within their regular school timetable. They will also consider the benefits of student agency and external audiences in building engagement and focus in their learning. The students will discuss how programs such as Game Changer Awards, ANSTO National Science Week Hackathon, STEM4Innovation and think tank events provide platforms for the practice and application of their collaborative human-centered design-thinking process to enhance their learning in STEM and other areas across the curriculum.
Too often student experience of learning is not reflected in education conferences. As one of the most important voices in the whole system, they often struggle to be heard. This paper will provide insights into student perceptions of integrated STEM as an approach to meaningful learning that provides scope and depth of learning across many parts of the broader K-100 curriculum. Content and capabilities will be considered and the students along with their teacher will endeavour to unpack the benefits and challenges they encounter.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. STEM Education
STEM contributes fundamentally to our modern society and world view. It refers to the path a
student takes as she moves from being „inspires‟ to „engaged‟ to “educated” to „employed‟ in a
science or technology related field.
We believe ,if scientific knowledge is made available to everybody at the school level, then people
will be more aware about their surrounding and can be an immediate solution for the day today
problem . School is the best place where basic scientific concept can be instilled in children
through:
a. Activities (curricular + extra curricular)
b. Competitions
c. Visits
d. Projects
e. Group studies + Research , And many more such activities
3. THE NEED TO IMPROVE STEM LEARNING
PERSISTS BECAUSE -Too many students leave school
unprepared
• 75% of students at school level are not proficient in
mathematics.
• 10% of students at school level meet international
benchmarks in science
• Gaps among students from underrepresented groups
and socio-economic backgrounds are wide
A study in the US
analyze that very few
children reach the
level of proficiency in
math and science.
4. GOALS FOR STEM EDUCATION
1.1. Teachers workshop is organised for updating
them about STEM.
2.Expand the number of students who pursue
STEM careers, and
increase women and minority participation.
3. Increase STEM literacy for all students.
4. To generate in students the following
attributes in order to enhance STEM learning:
• Curiosity
• Creative Thinking
• Application
• Creative Awareness
• Research
• e week
• Interdisciplinary approach
• Integrated Learning
• Investigation
• Questioning
• Problem Solving
5. Science
Science – Seeks to understand the natural world
We at Ryan’s believe that knowledge of scientific concepts at school level help
to inculcate and develop:
• Research aptitude
• Problem Solving approach
• Application enriched thinking
• Innovation
• Multi – disciplinary approach
And help to develop concepts of Integrated learning ,Investigative approach etc.
We conduct various activities in school that encourage students to think out of

32. Value Centricity in school education
• Schooling provides a foundation for young minds, intellectual, physical,
social, moral, spiritual and aesthetic development.
• Education is as much about building character as … equipping … specific skills
• Values-based education can strengthen students‟:
• Optimism
• Self-esteem
• Commitment to personal fulfilment
• Ethical judgment
• Social responsibility
• Values education:
• (is) Essential to effective schooling
• (connotes) Good practice pedagogy
• (is) Integral to all key learning areas
• (is crucial to) wellbeing
33. Value education has a profound effect on the total
educational environment of a school, affecting:
» Relationships of care and trust
» Partnerships with parents and the community
» Student attitudes and behaviour
» Student resilience and social skills
» Student achievement (community transformation )
34. Our efforts to value education have lead to the
following achievements:
• The school is „a much better place to be‟. Children are „well behaved‟,
demonstrate improved self-control, relate better to each other
and, most significantly, share with teachers a common language
of expectations of values;
• Quality relationships within and between the schools of the cluster;
• Greater student responsibility over local, national and international
issues;
• Greater student resilience and social skills, and improved
relationships of care and trust; , a sense of self-belief,
commitment, self efficacy and confidence;
• Everyone in the classroom exchange, teachers and students alike,
became more conscious of trying to be respectful, trying to do
their best, and trying to give others a fair go. We also found
teachers and students were happier, and school was calmer …
student learning was improving.
