The document discusses current trends in education, including the importance of developing students' skills in critical thinking, digital citizenship, and media literacy. It notes that technology is bridging the gap between teachers and learners and that countries like Finland, Singapore, and China have education systems that focus on developing high-quality teachers. The document advocates educating students with the skills needed for future jobs and adapting education to recognize unexpected discoveries and innovations. Overall, it argues that education must evolve to develop students into digital citizens who can thrive in a world shaped by rapid technological change.

1. CURRENT TRENDS IN
EDUCATION SCENARIO
January 13, 2013

2. NOW THE TIME IS TO LAY THE FOUNDATION TO
ENSURE THAT OUR STUDENTS EVOLVE INTO CRITICAL
CONSUMERS OF CONTENT, UNDERSTAND THE
IMPORTANCE OF DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP, AS WELL
AS POSSESS THE ABILITY TO CREATE, ANALYZE,
AND INTERPRET AN ARRAY OF MEDIA MESSAGES

3. Effects of Information Technology
Globalization
Robotization
Digitalization
Automation

4. Technology is a bridge in between
learner and instructor
In Plato’s time it was the invention of writing
Distance between instructor and learner has always
been but technology closes the gap

6. Finland, Singapore And China Take
Teaching Seriously
 Finnish children don't start school until they are 7. They
rarely take exams or do homework till 15 then only one
mandatory standardized test at 16. The difference
between weakest and strongest students is the smallest in
theWorld.
 In Singapore, prospective teachers come from a pool of
the best graduates, they enter a high-quality preparation
program, and they receive a salary while they prepare.
They enter a well-paid profession.
 In China, billions of yen are being spent on a plan to
improve millions of teachers’ preparation, professional
development and working conditions. Optimum user of
technology in education even far ahead than USA.

7. Neither the
strongest of the
species nor the
most intelligent
survives, but the
most responsive
to change”.This
means change
with time help us
to develop and
strengthen our
organization.

8. We live in an age of
technology where children
in our schools often know
more about technology
than their teachers. Most
teachers did not grow up
with the technology that
has become part of the
everyday lives of today’s
children.

9. Educate for the future, not just
the present:
Many of today's job titles,
and the skills needed to fill
them, simply did not exist
20 years ago.
Education systems
need to consider
what skills today's
students will need
in future and teach
accordingly.

10.  the discovery was made because
people were able to recognize the
significance of something they
had never seen before!
 CharlesGood year had been
working for several years on how
to preserve and cure raw rubber so
it would maintain its elastic
characteristics regardless of
temperature. His development of
vulcanization, the method used to
process rubber for tires, occurred
by following an instinct he said
had come to him in a dream:
Combine sulfur with the rubber.
Recognizing
the
Unexpected

11.  In October 1959, the United State felt deeply humiliated by the
launching of the soviet spaceship Sputnik.
 The question was asked, How did this happen? How did the United
state with all its technological capabilities, all its talent, and all its
money, not achieve the goal of being first in space?
 Let’s recall the events of May 25, 1961. President John F Kennedy
gave a speech and said: “I believe this nation should commit itself to
achieve the goal before this decade is out, of landing a man on the
moon and returning himself to Earth.” And they did!
 At 4:18 P M on July 20, 1969 Neil A Armstrong Reporting: “One
small step for man, one giant step for mankind.” As came down the
ladder from the lunar module Eagle, he made the above statement.
This historic event, which included Edwin E Aldrin, Jr. and Michael
Collins as the other astronauts, is burned into the memories of all
who observed it.

12. A question on a physics exam at the University of
Copenhagen: "Describe how to determine the
height of a skyscraper with a barometer."
 One student replied: "You tie a long piece of string to the neck
of the barometer, then lower the barometer from the roof of
the skyscraper to the ground. The length of the string plus the
length of the barometer will equal the height of the building."
This highly original answer so incensed the examiner that he
failed the student who immediately appealed on the grounds
that his answer was indisputably correct.
 The university appointed an independent arbiter to decide the
case. The arbiter ruled that the answer was indeed correct, but
did not display any noticeable knowledge of physics. It was
decided to call the student in and allow him six minutes in which
to provide a verbal answer which showed at least a minimal
familiarity with the basic principles of physics.

13.  For five minutes the student sat in silence, forehead creased in
thought. The arbiter reminded him that time was running out,
to which the student replied that he had several extremely
relevant answers, but couldn't make up his mind which to use.
On being advised to hurry up the student replied: First, you
could take the barometer up to the roof of the skyscraper, drop
it over the edge, and measure the time it takes to reach the
ground. The height of the building can then be worked out from
the motion equation. "But, Sir, I wouldn't recommend it as Bad
luck on the barometer."
If the sun is shining you could measure the height of the
barometer, then set it on end and measure the length of its
shadow. Then you measure the length of the skyscraper's
shadow, and thereafter it is a simple matter of proportional
geometry to work out the height of the skyscraper.
"But, Sir, if you wanted to be highly scientific about it, you could
tie a short piece of string to the barometer and swing it like a
pendulum, first at ground level and then on the roof of the
skyscraper. The height is worked out by the difference in a
gravitational formula.

14.  If the skyscraper has an outside emergency
staircase, it would be easier to walk up it and
mark off the height of the skyscraper in
barometer lengths, then add them up."
 You could use the barometer to measure the
air pressure on the roof, and on the ground,
and then convert the difference in millibars
into feet to give the height of the building."
 But since we are constantly being exhorted to
exercise independence of mind and apply
scientific methods, undoubtedly the best way
would be to knock on the janitor's door and
say to him 'If you would like a nice new
barometer, I will give you this one if you tell
me the height of this skyscraper'.
 The student was Niels Bohr, the only Dane
ever to win the Nobel Prize in physics.

15. True innovators rarely follow the
straight and narrow path. They do march to
a different drummer
Swims against the tide

16. Education Technology Objectives:
to bring every student up to the same level in
less class time
Technology for
them those
• want the grading and paperwork
processes of teaching to be easier
• want to know more about
learners
• want to hold the attention of
learners and to use various media
to improve learning rather than
just entertain.

17. Technology or Technique is
Not Neutral…
Technological determinism means that if you change
a part of an interconnected system, the rest of the
system WILL eventually and inevitably change.
We conform to it, it does
not conform to us.
But perhaps it can be Helpful.

18. Changing world

12 months
Anyone, anywhere, anytime able to
talk, write and send audio and visual to
anyone else.

20. Red A!ert
A 42 years old woman, wife of a senior railway
officer and mother of two teenaged daughters,
jumped off the balcony of her flat in a
multistoried apartment in Delhi. Apparently, she
was depressed over the poor performance of one
her daughter in the Class XII Maths examination.
A research says that the total amount of
information available on this planet doubles after
every one and a half year to two years. By the
time a student passes out, the information he or
she has learnt get given up.

21. Challenges you typically face :
Students come to school not ready to learn.
Students are verbally or physically abusive.
Parents are openly hostile to your efforts.
Parents disregard the importance of school.
Don’t expect
that your child
will be as
obedient as
your pet is.

22. TEACHING IS THE PROFESSION THAT
TEACHES ALL THE OTHER
PROFESSIONS.
Teaching today
is a more

24. Teachers often come under fire for their
failure to use technology into their
classrooms. Encourage teachers who are
not using technology not coated with
Teflon so nothing sticks.
 Administrators need to model
 be knowledgeable and effective users first yourself
 e-mail notices to staff, rather than printing and
distributing them
 ask that lesson plans be submitted through e-mail or
on disk.
 insist that all teachers create a classWeb page.

25. The best way to predict the
future is to invent it.
You can be a trailblazer.
Trailblazers are leaders who see
and create new paths in
achieving professional goals
and personal dreams.

26. Our duty to connect the brains, hearts and
hands of the students, for Purposeful Living
Time to Rethink, Reimaging, Restructure
and Re-skill to evolve digital citizen
 Bringing knowledge alive
 sparking imagination
 creating possibility and
 caring environment
