Technological Change

10

So letrsquos talk technology and its effect on our society

Fourth Presbyterian Church

Chicago IL

11

This is my church where technology is abundant in a new building

12

This is where Sunday school youth groups meet and play wii games in order to build community

13

The teen youth pastor uses technology to engage kids in discussions about real world events

14

He even uses Facebook to conduct outreach Our pastor understand that he needs to go where the kids are and keep them connected to the church through multiple means

15

Comer Childrenrsquos Hospital University of Chicago

16

Irsquove also seen technology used by child life experts in hospitals recently

17

In order to alleviate anxiety before an MRI my son was soothed by this machine that used a Simon like interface to change the colors of this lava lamp machine It also projected images on the ceiling

18

19

The child life expert also gave him an iPad to use

20

Childrenrsquos Pediatric Dental Health Chicago IL

Delta TerminalLGA NYC

21

In your own backyard technology is abundant How many of you have gone through this terminal

22

You can order your food and sundries to be delivered to you in this lounge

23

You can check your flightrsquos status and play games while you pass time in the Delta terminal

24

There are also many tables with outlets for re-charging devices

25

Even the NFL is getting rid of paper and leveraging the portability of iPads

I13 think13 not13 13

45

There seems to be a societal disconnect between the national narrative for educational improvement and what we know and desire based on our work with children

This I Believe

bull Visionary13 leadership

bull Empowered13 faculty

bull Authentically13 engaged13 students

bull Progressive13 teaching13 and13 learning13 practices

bull Authentic13 school13 communities13

46

Based on my travels and conversations these are the things I believe in and want to see more of in our schools

Schools13 where13 continuous13 improvement13 using13 a13 wide13 variety13 of13 criteria13 is13 the13 bottom13 line

Schools13 that13 see13 their13 role13 is13 to13 educate13 enlighten13 and13 support13 kids13 and13 their13 families

Schools13 where13 intellectual13 curiosity13 and13 variety13 is13 valued13 where13 educating13 for13 compliance13 is13 not13 the13 norm13

Visionary Leadership

47

Empowered Faculty

Schools13 where13 professional13 development13 is13 personalized13 and13 supportive13 of13 teachers

48

Engaged Students

Schools13 where13 student13 voice13 is13 taken13 into13 consideration13 throughout13 the13 school13 culture

Schools13 where13 students13 are13 encouraged13 to13 identify13 and13 pursue13 their13 passions

Schools13 that13 show13 evidence13 that13 their13 faculty13 really13 knows13 and13 understands13 their13 students13

49

Progressive Teaching and Learning Practices

Schools13 that13 look13 beyond13 Common13 Core13 standards13 to13 prepare13 kids13 for13 a13 new13 world13

Schools13 that13 provide13 ample13 opportunities13 for13 hands-shy‐on13 project13 and13 passion-shy‐based13 learning13 during13 and13 after13 school

Schools13 that13 view13 technology13 as13 essential13 to13 the13 learning13 process13 and13 thoughtfully13 plan13 for13 integration

50

Authentic Communities

Schools13 where13 parents13 and13 students13 are13 authentically13 engaged13 in13 the13 community

Schools13 that13 provide13 a13 multitude13 of13 means13 for13 parents13 to13 get13 involved

52

ldquoThe Highly Connected Teacherrdquo

The National Educational Technology Plan

53

Highly connected teachers are connected to data to resources and to each other

Connected Educator Month

54

Out of this interest in connections CEM was born It will take place this year in October Free activities are available to educators from around the world

ConnectEd

55

This is the most recent initiative put forth by the Obama administration Obama recently traveled to Mooresville NC to announce new efforts to upgrade connectivity train teachers and build on private-sector innovations

Students and Adults

bull Content13 consumers

bull Content13 creators

bull Content13 valuators

bull Connected13 and13 networked

56

Many of my peers in education are doing these things I would argue that to be successful in our rapidly changing world adults and kids must be proficient in creating and analyzing digital media in addition to learning to leverage learning networks

Known as ldquoTHErdquo

82

83

84

The School uses social media extensively throughout its school providing real life digital citizenship experience for kids They develop their own profiles and avatars in a school-run social network These profiles are archived each year so that everyone has a fresh start and numerous opportunities to practice the skill of establishing a digital footprint

85

They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests

86

They use Google Sites for reviewing books and commenting on the reviews of others It is organized by class so that you can see the reading habits of kids throughout their time at the School at Columbia

ldquoThe Highly Connected Teacherrdquo

The National Educational Technology Plan

53

Highly connected teachers are connected to data to resources and to each other

Connected Educator Month

54

Out of this interest in connections CEM was born It will take place this year in October Free activities are available to educators from around the world

ConnectEd

55

This is the most recent initiative put forth by the Obama administration Obama recently traveled to Mooresville NC to announce new efforts to upgrade connectivity train teachers and build on private-sector innovations

Students and Adults

bull Content13 consumers

bull Content13 creators

bull Content13 valuators

bull Connected13 and13 networked

56

Many of my peers in education are doing these things I would argue that to be successful in our rapidly changing world adults and kids must be proficient in creating and analyzing digital media in addition to learning to leverage learning networks

84

The School uses social media extensively throughout its school providing real life digital citizenship experience for kids They develop their own profiles and avatars in a school-run social network These profiles are archived each year so that everyone has a fresh start and numerous opportunities to practice the skill of establishing a digital footprint

85

They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests

86

They use Google Sites for reviewing books and commenting on the reviews of others It is organized by class so that you can see the reading habits of kids throughout their time at the School at Columbia

ldquoThe Highly Connected Teacherrdquo

The National Educational Technology Plan

53

Highly connected teachers are connected to data to resources and to each other

Connected Educator Month

54

Out of this interest in connections CEM was born It will take place this year in October Free activities are available to educators from around the world

ConnectEd

55

This is the most recent initiative put forth by the Obama administration Obama recently traveled to Mooresville NC to announce new efforts to upgrade connectivity train teachers and build on private-sector innovations

Students and Adults

bull Content13 consumers

bull Content13 creators

bull Content13 valuators

bull Connected13 and13 networked

56

Many of my peers in education are doing these things I would argue that to be successful in our rapidly changing world adults and kids must be proficient in creating and analyzing digital media in addition to learning to leverage learning networks

84

The School uses social media extensively throughout its school providing real life digital citizenship experience for kids They develop their own profiles and avatars in a school-run social network These profiles are archived each year so that everyone has a fresh start and numerous opportunities to practice the skill of establishing a digital footprint

85

They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests

86

They use Google Sites for reviewing books and commenting on the reviews of others It is organized by class so that you can see the reading habits of kids throughout their time at the School at Columbia

84

The School uses social media extensively throughout its school providing real life digital citizenship experience for kids They develop their own profiles and avatars in a school-run social network These profiles are archived each year so that everyone has a fresh start and numerous opportunities to practice the skill of establishing a digital footprint

85

They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests

86

They use Google Sites for reviewing books and commenting on the reviews of others It is organized by class so that you can see the reading habits of kids throughout their time at the School at Columbia

So letrsquos talk technology and its effect on our society

Fourth Presbyterian Church

Chicago IL

11

This is my church where technology is abundant in a new building

12

This is where Sunday school youth groups meet and play wii games in order to build community

13

The teen youth pastor uses technology to engage kids in discussions about real world events

14

He even uses Facebook to conduct outreach Our pastor understand that he needs to go where the kids are and keep them connected to the church through multiple means

15

Comer Childrenrsquos Hospital University of Chicago

16

Irsquove also seen technology used by child life experts in hospitals recently

17

In order to alleviate anxiety before an MRI my son was soothed by this machine that used a Simon like interface to change the colors of this lava lamp machine It also projected images on the ceiling

18

19

The child life expert also gave him an iPad to use

20

Childrenrsquos Pediatric Dental Health Chicago IL

Delta TerminalLGA NYC

21

In your own backyard technology is abundant How many of you have gone through this terminal

22

You can order your food and sundries to be delivered to you in this lounge

23

You can check your flightrsquos status and play games while you pass time in the Delta terminal

24

There are also many tables with outlets for re-charging devices

Out of this interest in connections CEM was born It will take place this year in October Free activities are available to educators from around the world

ConnectEd

55

This is the most recent initiative put forth by the Obama administration Obama recently traveled to Mooresville NC to announce new efforts to upgrade connectivity train teachers and build on private-sector innovations

Students and Adults

ldquoThe Highly Connected Teacherrdquo

The National Educational Technology Plan

53

Highly connected teachers are connected to data to resources and to each other

Connected Educator Month

54

Out of this interest in connections CEM was born It will take place this year in October Free activities are available to educators from around the world

ConnectEd

55

This is the most recent initiative put forth by the Obama administration Obama recently traveled to Mooresville NC to announce new efforts to upgrade connectivity train teachers and build on private-sector innovations

Students and Adults

bull Content13 consumers

bull Content13 creators

bull Content13 valuators

bull Connected13 and13 networked

56

Many of my peers in education are doing these things I would argue that to be successful in our rapidly changing world adults and kids must be proficient in creating and analyzing digital media in addition to learning to leverage learning networks

84

The School uses social media extensively throughout its school providing real life digital citizenship experience for kids They develop their own profiles and avatars in a school-run social network These profiles are archived each year so that everyone has a fresh start and numerous opportunities to practice the skill of establishing a digital footprint

85

They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests

86

They use Google Sites for reviewing books and commenting on the reviews of others It is organized by class so that you can see the reading habits of kids throughout their time at the School at Columbia

84

The School uses social media extensively throughout its school providing real life digital citizenship experience for kids They develop their own profiles and avatars in a school-run social network These profiles are archived each year so that everyone has a fresh start and numerous opportunities to practice the skill of establishing a digital footprint

85

They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests

86

They use Google Sites for reviewing books and commenting on the reviews of others It is organized by class so that you can see the reading habits of kids throughout their time at the School at Columbia

84

The School uses social media extensively throughout its school providing real life digital citizenship experience for kids They develop their own profiles and avatars in a school-run social network These profiles are archived each year so that everyone has a fresh start and numerous opportunities to practice the skill of establishing a digital footprint

85

They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests

86

They use Google Sites for reviewing books and commenting on the reviews of others It is organized by class so that you can see the reading habits of kids throughout their time at the School at Columbia

83

84

The School uses social media extensively throughout its school providing real life digital citizenship experience for kids They develop their own profiles and avatars in a school-run social network These profiles are archived each year so that everyone has a fresh start and numerous opportunities to practice the skill of establishing a digital footprint

85

They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests

86

They use Google Sites for reviewing books and commenting on the reviews of others It is organized by class so that you can see the reading habits of kids throughout their time at the School at Columbia

The School uses social media extensively throughout its school providing real life digital citizenship experience for kids They develop their own profiles and avatars in a school-run social network These profiles are archived each year so that everyone has a fresh start and numerous opportunities to practice the skill of establishing a digital footprint

85

They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests

86

They use Google Sites for reviewing books and commenting on the reviews of others It is organized by class so that you can see the reading habits of kids throughout their time at the School at Columbia

83

84

The School uses social media extensively throughout its school providing real life digital citizenship experience for kids They develop their own profiles and avatars in a school-run social network These profiles are archived each year so that everyone has a fresh start and numerous opportunities to practice the skill of establishing a digital footprint

85

They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests

86

They use Google Sites for reviewing books and commenting on the reviews of others It is organized by class so that you can see the reading habits of kids throughout their time at the School at Columbia

84

The School uses social media extensively throughout its school providing real life digital citizenship experience for kids They develop their own profiles and avatars in a school-run social network These profiles are archived each year so that everyone has a fresh start and numerous opportunities to practice the skill of establishing a digital footprint

85

They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests

86

They use Google Sites for reviewing books and commenting on the reviews of others It is organized by class so that you can see the reading habits of kids throughout their time at the School at Columbia

84

The School uses social media extensively throughout its school providing real life digital citizenship experience for kids They develop their own profiles and avatars in a school-run social network These profiles are archived each year so that everyone has a fresh start and numerous opportunities to practice the skill of establishing a digital footprint

85

They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests

86

They use Google Sites for reviewing books and commenting on the reviews of others It is organized by class so that you can see the reading habits of kids throughout their time at the School at Columbia

84

The School uses social media extensively throughout its school providing real life digital citizenship experience for kids They develop their own profiles and avatars in a school-run social network These profiles are archived each year so that everyone has a fresh start and numerous opportunities to practice the skill of establishing a digital footprint

85

They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests

86

They use Google Sites for reviewing books and commenting on the reviews of others It is organized by class so that you can see the reading habits of kids throughout their time at the School at Columbia

The School uses social media extensively throughout its school providing real life digital citizenship experience for kids They develop their own profiles and avatars in a school-run social network These profiles are archived each year so that everyone has a fresh start and numerous opportunities to practice the skill of establishing a digital footprint

85

They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests

86

They use Google Sites for reviewing books and commenting on the reviews of others It is organized by class so that you can see the reading habits of kids throughout their time at the School at Columbia

84

The School uses social media extensively throughout its school providing real life digital citizenship experience for kids They develop their own profiles and avatars in a school-run social network These profiles are archived each year so that everyone has a fresh start and numerous opportunities to practice the skill of establishing a digital footprint

85

They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests

86

They use Google Sites for reviewing books and commenting on the reviews of others It is organized by class so that you can see the reading habits of kids throughout their time at the School at Columbia

ldquoThe Highly Connected Teacherrdquo

The National Educational Technology Plan

53

Highly connected teachers are connected to data to resources and to each other

Connected Educator Month

54

Out of this interest in connections CEM was born It will take place this year in October Free activities are available to educators from around the world

ConnectEd

55

This is the most recent initiative put forth by the Obama administration Obama recently traveled to Mooresville NC to announce new efforts to upgrade connectivity train teachers and build on private-sector innovations

Students and Adults

bull Content13 consumers

bull Content13 creators

bull Content13 valuators

bull Connected13 and13 networked

56

Many of my peers in education are doing these things I would argue that to be successful in our rapidly changing world adults and kids must be proficient in creating and analyzing digital media in addition to learning to leverage learning networks

83

84

The School uses social media extensively throughout its school providing real life digital citizenship experience for kids They develop their own profiles and avatars in a school-run social network These profiles are archived each year so that everyone has a fresh start and numerous opportunities to practice the skill of establishing a digital footprint

85

They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests

86

They use Google Sites for reviewing books and commenting on the reviews of others It is organized by class so that you can see the reading habits of kids throughout their time at the School at Columbia

84

The School uses social media extensively throughout its school providing real life digital citizenship experience for kids They develop their own profiles and avatars in a school-run social network These profiles are archived each year so that everyone has a fresh start and numerous opportunities to practice the skill of establishing a digital footprint

85

They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests

86

They use Google Sites for reviewing books and commenting on the reviews of others It is organized by class so that you can see the reading habits of kids throughout their time at the School at Columbia

ldquoThe Highly Connected Teacherrdquo

The National Educational Technology Plan

53

Highly connected teachers are connected to data to resources and to each other

Connected Educator Month

54

Out of this interest in connections CEM was born It will take place this year in October Free activities are available to educators from around the world

ConnectEd

55

This is the most recent initiative put forth by the Obama administration Obama recently traveled to Mooresville NC to announce new efforts to upgrade connectivity train teachers and build on private-sector innovations

Students and Adults

bull Content13 consumers

bull Content13 creators

bull Content13 valuators

bull Connected13 and13 networked

56

Many of my peers in education are doing these things I would argue that to be successful in our rapidly changing world adults and kids must be proficient in creating and analyzing digital media in addition to learning to leverage learning networks

84

The School uses social media extensively throughout its school providing real life digital citizenship experience for kids They develop their own profiles and avatars in a school-run social network These profiles are archived each year so that everyone has a fresh start and numerous opportunities to practice the skill of establishing a digital footprint

85

They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests

86

They use Google Sites for reviewing books and commenting on the reviews of others It is organized by class so that you can see the reading habits of kids throughout their time at the School at Columbia

ldquoThe Highly Connected Teacherrdquo

The National Educational Technology Plan

53

Highly connected teachers are connected to data to resources and to each other

Connected Educator Month

54

Out of this interest in connections CEM was born It will take place this year in October Free activities are available to educators from around the world

ConnectEd

55

This is the most recent initiative put forth by the Obama administration Obama recently traveled to Mooresville NC to announce new efforts to upgrade connectivity train teachers and build on private-sector innovations

Students and Adults

bull Content13 consumers

bull Content13 creators

bull Content13 valuators

bull Connected13 and13 networked

56

Many of my peers in education are doing these things I would argue that to be successful in our rapidly changing world adults and kids must be proficient in creating and analyzing digital media in addition to learning to leverage learning networks

83

84

The School uses social media extensively throughout its school providing real life digital citizenship experience for kids They develop their own profiles and avatars in a school-run social network These profiles are archived each year so that everyone has a fresh start and numerous opportunities to practice the skill of establishing a digital footprint

85

They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests

86

They use Google Sites for reviewing books and commenting on the reviews of others It is organized by class so that you can see the reading habits of kids throughout their time at the School at Columbia

83

84

The School uses social media extensively throughout its school providing real life digital citizenship experience for kids They develop their own profiles and avatars in a school-run social network These profiles are archived each year so that everyone has a fresh start and numerous opportunities to practice the skill of establishing a digital footprint

85

They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests

86

They use Google Sites for reviewing books and commenting on the reviews of others It is organized by class so that you can see the reading habits of kids throughout their time at the School at Columbia

ldquoThe Highly Connected Teacherrdquo

The National Educational Technology Plan

53

Highly connected teachers are connected to data to resources and to each other

Connected Educator Month

54

Out of this interest in connections CEM was born It will take place this year in October Free activities are available to educators from around the world

ConnectEd

55

This is the most recent initiative put forth by the Obama administration Obama recently traveled to Mooresville NC to announce new efforts to upgrade connectivity train teachers and build on private-sector innovations

Students and Adults

bull Content13 creators

bull Content13 valuators

Many of my peers in education are doing these things I would argue that to be successful in our rapidly changing world adults and kids must be proficient in creating and analyzing digital media in addition to learning to leverage learning networks

83

84

The School uses social media extensively throughout its school providing real life digital citizenship experience for kids They develop their own profiles and avatars in a school-run social network These profiles are archived each year so that everyone has a fresh start and numerous opportunities to practice the skill of establishing a digital footprint

85

They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests

86

They use Google Sites for reviewing books and commenting on the reviews of others It is organized by class so that you can see the reading habits of kids throughout their time at the School at Columbia

ldquoThe Highly Connected Teacherrdquo

The National Educational Technology Plan

53

Highly connected teachers are connected to data to resources and to each other

Connected Educator Month

54

Out of this interest in connections CEM was born It will take place this year in October Free activities are available to educators from around the world

ConnectEd

55

This is the most recent initiative put forth by the Obama administration Obama recently traveled to Mooresville NC to announce new efforts to upgrade connectivity train teachers and build on private-sector innovations

Students and Adults

bull Content13 consumers

bull Content13 creators

bull Content13 valuators

56

Many of my peers in education are doing these things I would argue that to be successful in our rapidly changing world adults and kids must be proficient in creating and analyzing digital media in addition to learning to leverage learning networks

83

84

The School uses social media extensively throughout its school providing real life digital citizenship experience for kids They develop their own profiles and avatars in a school-run social network These profiles are archived each year so that everyone has a fresh start and numerous opportunities to practice the skill of establishing a digital footprint

85

They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests

86

They use Google Sites for reviewing books and commenting on the reviews of others It is organized by class so that you can see the reading habits of kids throughout their time at the School at Columbia

ldquoThe Highly Connected Teacherrdquo

The National Educational Technology Plan

53

Highly connected teachers are connected to data to resources and to each other

Connected Educator Month

54

Out of this interest in connections CEM was born It will take place this year in October Free activities are available to educators from around the world

ConnectEd

55

This is the most recent initiative put forth by the Obama administration Obama recently traveled to Mooresville NC to announce new efforts to upgrade connectivity train teachers and build on private-sector innovations

Students and Adults

bull Content13 consumers

bull Content13 creators

bull Content13 valuators

bull Connected13 and13 networked

56

Many of my peers in education are doing these things I would argue that to be successful in our rapidly changing world adults and kids must be proficient in creating and analyzing digital media in addition to learning to leverage learning networks

The School uses social media extensively throughout its school providing real life digital citizenship experience for kids They develop their own profiles and avatars in a school-run social network These profiles are archived each year so that everyone has a fresh start and numerous opportunities to practice the skill of establishing a digital footprint

85

They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests

86

They use Google Sites for reviewing books and commenting on the reviews of others It is organized by class so that you can see the reading habits of kids throughout their time at the School at Columbia

Highly connected teachers are connected to data to resources and to each other

Connected Educator Month

54

Out of this interest in connections CEM was born It will take place this year in October Free activities are available to educators from around the world

ConnectEd

55

This is the most recent initiative put forth by the Obama administration Obama recently traveled to Mooresville NC to announce new efforts to upgrade connectivity train teachers and build on private-sector innovations

Students and Adults

83

84

The School uses social media extensively throughout its school providing real life digital citizenship experience for kids They develop their own profiles and avatars in a school-run social network These profiles are archived each year so that everyone has a fresh start and numerous opportunities to practice the skill of establishing a digital footprint

85

They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests

86

They use Google Sites for reviewing books and commenting on the reviews of others It is organized by class so that you can see the reading habits of kids throughout their time at the School at Columbia
