Keynote presentation for the Education Leaders Forum - New Zealand. Abstract: The COVID pandemic has thrown back the curtain on a great deal of what needs to be improved or addressed in our current education system, including a high degree of inequity across all areas, especially access to onlinelearning.
The responses we saw during the 2020 lockdowns promised some transformative action and outcomes. But slowly we’ve seen a ‘return to the old normal’ mindset. The ‘big ideas’ that were evident have faded into obscurity as the old patterns of thinking and acting take over.
This document summarizes a teacher professional development day focused on reflection and planning for the future of education. It includes activities to: 1) reflect on what motivates teachers and share aspirations; 2) identify drivers, roadblocks and accelerators of change; and 3) consider how to translate insights into action. Teachers discuss what inspires them and share advice with colleagues. They also identify statements that represent goals and provide practical examples to illustrate progress toward creating student-centered, skills-focused learning experiences.
This document summarizes the key points from an online webinar about ten trends in education over the next 15 years. It discusses trends in structural, process, technology, cultural and economic areas of education. Some of the major trends discussed are a shift to personalized, competency-based learning; the changing nature of work; increasing use of virtual and online learning; greater data use and assessment changes; rapid advancement of technologies; increasing diversity and inclusion; and preparing students for careers impacted by automation. The document encourages participants to consider these trends in planning education for the future.

This document discusses the need to prepare students for the 21st century. It notes that the world is changing rapidly and schools/teachers must change to meet new opportunities and challenges. Education is seen as key to building skills like problem solving, creativity, and digital literacy. The New Zealand curriculum framework focuses on competencies like thinking, using language/technology, self-management, relationships, and contributing to society. It emphasizes equipping students with knowledge and values to safely participate in an increasingly digital world. The document calls for moving beyond passive learning to developing confident, connected, lifelong learners.
How do we use the arts to develop students' creativity in schoolsEduSkills OECD
This document discusses using arts education to develop student creativity. It addresses common questions like how the arts can foster creative thinking skills and the right assessment strategies. The document also examines partnerships between schools and cultural institutions in Denmark. These partnerships aim to provide artistic challenges and novel perspectives to inspire student creativity. However, the document notes that intentional practice and reflection are needed for creative learning. Qualitative methods are also suggested to better understand the complexity of creativity in these partnerships. Overall, the document advocates giving students freedom to explore and find their own expertise through arts education.
The document discusses the importance of future-focused learning. It argues that students learn best when they are motivated, spend sustained time learning, and know when they have succeeded. However, traditional school focuses on timetables, subjects, and testing rather than giving students agency over their learning. The document advocates for project-based and collaborative learning that prepares students with the skills and competencies needed for an uncertain future, such as embracing diversity, discerning truth from misinformation, and making complex decisions. It emphasizes learning from history, looking to trends that impact the present, and living deliberately in the present through our choices.
Keynote presentation - with a challenge - for the Upper Hutt Cluster of schools - 31 January, 2020. How can we work to ensure our school programme for 2020 is truly 'future focused'?
The document discusses what it means to be educated in 2050 compared to 1950. It outlines changes in technology, society, skills needed, and purposes of education. Some key points include:
- Education in 1950 focused on reading, writing, arithmetic while in 2050 it may focus more on skills like complex problem solving, creativity, collaboration as knowledge becomes more distributed.
- The purposes of education are debated but may include developing intellect, creating caring citizens, preparing students for the workforce, or some combination.
- Future trends discussed include advances in health, AI, cities, transportation as well as new measures of learning like knowledge creation, systems thinking, cognitive persistence.

The document discusses fostering learner agency in education. It defines agency as having choices and the ability to act on those choices, as well as unlocking every student's basic genius. Fostering true agency requires learners to take responsibility for themselves, others, and their shared environment. The document lists ten conditions for learner agency and suggests curriculum, learning design, teaching approaches, support, assessment, progress monitoring, and environment as areas where schools can start fostering more agency. It provides resources on the topic, thanking attendees.
Presentation to the Centre for Veterinary Education (CVE) tutors forum in Melbourne, April 2014. Focus on exploring the functionality of LMS systems to support good online pedagogy.
This document discusses the need to update education for the 21st century. It makes three key points:
1) Education needs to match the rapidly changing world where paper is obsolete and information becomes outdated quickly. Curriculums must be rethought and practices that weigh things down need to be cut or changed.
2) Assessments are where changes need to begin, with teachers committing to integrating technology, reviewing resources, and revising at least one unit with 21st century skills.
3) Technology overuse can disconnect people from real relationships. While connections are preferred over conversation, this leaves people emotionally vulnerable. Face-to-face conversations are still important. Schools must teach solitude and being alone
The document discusses key considerations for the design of future schools, including what students would learn, how they would learn, when and where learning would take place, and how learning would be assessed. It outlines Alvin Toffler's vision for schools of the future that are open 24/7, have customized learning experiences, and integrate business and education. The document also discusses barriers to transforming schools and the need for a coherent vision that supports long-term investment in students' futures.
The document discusses using a concerns-based approach to professional development (PD) programming by identifying teachers' levels of concern about an innovation through open-ended questions and feedback, and then designing PD interventions focused on self, task, and impact that match the varying levels of concern, from raising awareness to collaboration and refinement of the innovation. Key aspects of the approach include the Concerns Based Adoption Model and focusing PD at each of the model's 7 levels of concern.

This document summarizes an online workshop about building future-focused schools. The workshop aims to help participants identify principles for building future-focused schools, realize a future-focused approach through aligning school strategies and practices, and lead their school community to provide relevant, future-focused learning. During the workshop, participants discuss topics like the skills students will need for their future lives and careers, challenges facing education, and how to make schools more focused on preparing students for an uncertain future.
- Current research shows that students start becoming intellectually disengaged in middle school years (grades 6-8). Intellectual engagement refers to a serious emotional and cognitive investment in learning using higher-order thinking.
- The document discusses strategies for re-engaging disengaged middle school students, including focusing on learner-centered approaches, engaged learning, and developing a sense of community. It also provides examples of instructional strategies that can engage students, such as graphic organizers, cooperative learning, and project-based learning.
- The goal is to design learning experiences that allow students to build, design, and construct their own evidence of learning in order to increase engagement and prevent students from dropping out of high school due
This document discusses the need to foster creativity in higher education by transforming traditional pedagogical structures. It argues that universities should shift away from lecture-based learning and toward more collaborative learning experiences that allow students to practice problem-solving and creative thinking. The author advocates for reapportioning curriculum time to prioritize small group work, projects, and seminars that develop both content knowledge and skills like investigation, cooperation, and synthesis. This type of experiential learning paradigm could help universities better prepare students for the future workforce and address lagging support for arts education policy.

Carol Brandt & Rikke Toft Nørgård - More than shiny new spaces for tinkering:...Rikke Toft Noergaard
This document discusses using signature pedagogy to foster design practices and critical thinking in university makerspaces. It proposes configuring makerspaces to promote interdisciplinarity, collaboration, and problem-solving beyond just creating new things. Signature pedagogy involves surface structures like design investigations and prototypes, deep structures like design critiques, and implicit structures like developing civic responsibility. The goal is for makerspaces to become "placeful studios" that integrate university and society through tackling complex problems and developing students' and teachers' roles as "academic citizens".
This document provides information on several exemplar schools that implement 21st century learning. It describes the schools' locations, demographics, approaches to instruction, and use of technology.

Some of the schools highlighted include project-based learning, collaboration, interdisciplinary teaching, arts integration, and developing skills like problem-solving and communication.
Design thinking in education involves using problem solving approaches to address community issues. When instructors implement design thinking in the classroom, students can think of solutions to community problems and learn about visual learning. The document discusses design thinking, visual learning, and being an insider researcher. It provides definitions and examples of these concepts from education literature. The purpose is to understand how design thinking impacts learning at an under-resourced school.
From aspirations to reality: challenges for a new ‘21st Century' secondary sc...edsrpp
This document discusses the challenges faced by a new 21st century secondary school in New Zealand that aims to implement a thematic and interdisciplinary curriculum focused on 21st century skills. The school structures learning through hubs, special interest classes, personal time, and interdisciplinary modules. Key challenges identified include developing conceptual progression across projects while maintaining disciplinary depth, aligning mindsets around a growth approach to curriculum development, and ensuring clarity amid the complex curriculum design process. Upcoming research will examine student conceptual progression and coverage as the school works towards national assessments.
The document summarizes a project called "The Creative Partnerships" that took place in Lithuania from 2011-2015. The project aimed to develop creativity in schools by having creative practitioners work with teachers and students. Over the course of the project, more than 138 schools and 9,000 students participated. The goals were to develop student creativity and motivation, help teachers incorporate creative teaching methods, and create a more creative learning environment in Lithuanian schools. Students reported feeling less afraid to make mistakes or be themselves, while teachers learned new teaching methods and saw positive changes in student engagement and school culture. The project aimed to demonstrate that creativity is a skill that can be developed and is important for students' development and education.
This document discusses transformational change in education through action research and project-based learning. It promotes developing a collaborative culture, becoming connected learners, and transparently sharing what is learned. Action research involves teachers systematically examining their own practices to improve effectiveness. Project-based learning is curriculum-driven and asks an engaging question for students to investigate real-world problems. The goal is to move from an explicit knowledge model to experiences that foster tacit knowledge and connections through intrinsic motivation and social justice outcomes.

Associated keynote talk can be found on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slIITVfOhXg&t=1433s
On February 18, 2022, I delivered a rather interesting and important talk online to a group of 60ish educators, researchers, and practitioners on teaching with Moodle in MoodleMoot Japan 2022. If the following keywords interest you, you should not miss this video: ontology, epistemology, psychology, educational paradigms, learning theories, and pedagogy. This video also for the first time introduces an original untested learning theory called by me "creation-based learning (CBL)". I embrace the learning paradigms of #constructivism and #connectivism. I also am a strong fan of constructionism. I hope CBL will be one step further to promote active learning online. In this video, I also raised the idea of "sustainable learning behaviors" and raised the attention of the public towards sustainable learning behaviors of creating, maintaining, recycling, renewing, and sharing knowledge using networked digital technologies.

What does the future of design for online learning look like? Emerging techno...George Veletsianos
These are the slides of an invited talk I gave at ICEM 2012. The session was described as follows: What will we observe if we take a long pause and examine the practice of online education today? What do emerging technologies, openness, Massive Open Online Courses, and digital scholarship tell us about the future that we are creating for learners, faculty members, and learning institutions? And what does entrepreneurial activity worldwide surrounding online education mean for the future of education and design? In this talk, I will discuss a number of emerging practices relating to online learning and online participation in a rapidly changing world and explain their implications for design practice. Emerging practices (e.g., open courses, researchers who blog, students who use social media to self-organize) can shape our teaching/learning practice and teaching/learning practice can shape these innovations. By examining, critiquing, and understanding these practices we will be able to understand potential futures for online learning and be better informed on how we can design effective and engaging online learning experiences. This talk will draw from my experiences and research on online learning, openness, and digital scholarship, and will present recent evidence detailing how researchers, learners, educators are creating, sharing, and negotiating knowledge and education online.

Teachers as learning designers: using design thinking to innovate and enhance...Rikke Toft Noergaard
The document discusses using design thinking to reconfigure teaching practice for the changing university environment. It advocates that teachers adopt the role of learning designers by intentionally designing learning experiences through answering questions about vision, pedagogy, and implementation. This process moves from identifying problems and envisioning solutions, to determining pedagogical approaches and learning activities, to selecting technologies and tasks. An example learning design process is provided to illustrate moving from understanding why a new approach is needed, to determining how it will be structured, to specifying what it will involve. The goal is to help teachers intentionally create meaningful, future-oriented learning experiences for students.
On Ways of Framing Experiential LearningBrooke Bryan
This document summarizes an oral history institute at Antioch College focused on digital liberal arts and oral history scholarship. It discusses challenges around teaching vs. research, instructionist vs. collaborative teaching, and whether institutions reward the types of work they say they value. It frames the work using Boyer's scholarship models, community-based research principles, and AAC&U's high-impact practices. Attendees participated in an activity to map their projects and plans for review/promotion. The goal was to help frame work within institutional missions and review criteria.
The toolkit offers you new ways to be intentional and collaborative when you are designing new solutions for your classroom, school, and community.
It hones your skills and empowers you to create desirable solutions. In this toolkit, we have layed out a series of steps that can help you develop new, innovative solutions designed with people at the center.
The faculty at Ormondale Elementary School in California wanted to better prepare their students for the future. They used design thinking to collaboratively create an approach called "Investigative Learning" which focuses on students shaping their own knowledge rather than just receiving information. The faculty continues to evolve this approach and share it with new teachers through documenting their philosophy and methods. Their use of design thinking helped gain support from the school board and recognition for being a distinguished school.
The Design Thinking Toolkit for Educators
This toolkit contains the process and methods of design along with the Designer’s Workbook, adapted specifically for the context of K-12 education. It offers new ways to be intentional and collaborative when designing, and empowers educators to create impactful solutions.
At IDEO, we’ve been using similar processes, methods, and tools for years in tackling some dauntingly complex challenges. More often than not, we’ve experienced how Design Thinking helps to get to the next step. That’s why we are excited to see how it can impact the world of education. Teachers at Riverdale Country School are starting to use design process to address challenges in their classrooms and schools, and together we’ve created this toolkit in order to share these processes more broadly.
This is an invitation to experiment with the design process. Let it inspire you to approach challenges differently, and experience how Design Thinking adds a new perspective to your work.
This set of slides was presented at the CT Association of School Librarians Spring Unconference on March 30, 2019 to promote conversation about cultural practice that foster a spirit of inquiry in today's classroom and library settings.
