As Thomas Friedman persuasively argued in this book "The World is Flat," we live in a very different and rapidly changing economic and cultural environment. Schools need to change to prepare students for the dynamic opportunities of the 21st century workforce. Collaboration in most of our schools today is still called "cheating." Our factory model of transmission-based education must be transformed into one where learners regularly collaborate, access and "remix" digital information, and extend their learning beyond the traditional bell schedule. One to one laptop initiatives, where every student and teacher have wireless computing devices; schools and libraries becoming community learning hubs offering public wireless and wired connectivity to the Internet; and the deregulation of education which frees learners to spend time in real-world, problem-based and project-based learning need to become hallmarks of education in the 21st century. This presentation shares this vision for reinventing education: Designing School 2.0, and offers suggestions for how civic leaders can move toward this vision at local levels.

"As for enhanced efficiency in learning and

teaching, there have been no advances (measured

by higher academic achievement of urban,

suburban, or rural students) over the last decade

that can be confidently attributed to broader

access to computers. No surprise here, as the

debate over whether new technologies have

increased overall American economic productivity

also has had no clear answers. The link between

test score improvements and computer availability

and use is even more contested."

Dr Larry Cuban. Oversold and Underused: Computers

in the Classroom. Harvard University Press. 2003.

ISBN: 0674011090. pages 178-179.

"...the billions schools have spent on computers

have had little effect on how teachers and

students learn... The reason for this

disappointing result is that the way schools have

employed computers has been perfectly

predictable, perfectly logical-- and perfectly

wrong. As we show in this chapter, schools have

crammed them into classrooms to sustain and

marginally improve the way they already teach and

run their schools, just as most organizations do

when they attempt to implement innovations,

including computers. Using computers this way

will never allow schools to migrate to a student-

centric classroom."

World Learns. McGraw Hill. 2008. Pages 72-73.55

"While not abandoning core fundamentals, many NMS educators have slimmed down their curricular expectations

over time, choosing instead to identify the most critical outcomes, which are drilled down at the expense of

breadth. By utilizing a variety of web tools to focus on students as content producers for an authentic audience

and building collaboration between learners, many teachers engage students in an information-rich learning

experience."
