WHY ARE WE
HERE TODAY?
“Millennium 2000”
Just because you can...
...doesn’t mean you should.
Textbooks
don’t motivate
students
Our students
cannot stuff
us into their
backpacks
...this might better approximate reality.
NEW
LITERACIES?
NCTE’s 21st Century Literacies Framework:
Create, critique, analyze, and
evaluate multimedia texts
Design and share
information for global
communities to meet a
variety of purposes
Attend to the ethical
responsibilities required by
these complex
environments
Build relationships with
others to pose and solve
problems collaboratively and
cross-culturally
Manage, analyze, and
synthesize multiple streams
of simultaneous information
Develop proficiency with
the tools of technology

“This instrument can teach, it can
illuminate, yes, it can even inspire.
But it can do so only to the extent
that humans are determined to use
it to those ends. Otherwise, it's
nothing but wires and lights in a
box.”

“Is it OK to be a
technologically
illiterate
teacher?”
“When introduced to a new technology,
I've never heard a kid ask,
When's the workshop?”
“If you only had 1 hour to show some
teachers and parents a maximum of
8 to 10 really interesting educational
technology projects happening
with younger schoolchildren,
what would you show them?”

“At enlightened, forward-thinking
companies, managers understand the
connection between learning, innovation,
and higher productivity — in fact,
employees at these companies may even
be encouraged to spend time learning
and experimenting with new
technologies.”

to do powerful work if no one sees it.”

“I think it would be really cool to
have a sweet coral like Osha
found that was 350 millions
years old. (Rugosa spp.) I also
found it interesting that there
were some freakin ancient corals
in IOWA!” -Torin McKinley, 2008
“...by using the website, while
just thinking my thoughts out
loud into cyberspace, an author
heard and sent me a piece of
ancient history.” -Torin McKinley
“…I still have it too! I keep it on
my desk. It's always
encouraged me to engage
people. Like taking personal
interest in their interests.”

-Torin McKinley
Update: from Tuesday night (5/3/14) via Twitter:
“Connections on
social networking
sites can provide
students with
experiences and
knowledge they
would otherwise
lack.”
from pages #152-153
“Students ask
and answer
questions, share
photos or videos...
and in doing so,
they’ve created a
real sense of
community.”
from pages #142-143
