Shifting the Learning Paradigm


Leadership


Leadership: The Challenge

Inspire, Guide, and Build Systemic Change Identify stakeholders

– Superintendent – Teachers – Other Partners– IT Department – Students– CFO – Board Members– Principals – Parents/Guardians– Department Heads – Community Leaders

Build a task force Develop teacher buy-in Create a strategic and sustainable plan Involve people, process, technology, and data Maximize communications


Leadership: Showing the Way

Change the Culture Time: Promote time flexibility for change Talk: “Walk the talk” Plan: Written communication and establish accountability Develop: Growth opportunities Learn: Study the successes and failures of others


Funding


Initial Funding Foundation Grants Community Bonds and Allocations Statewide Pilots and Seed Funding

Ongoing Funding Grants Discounts Support from Local Organizations Community Partnerships Family Contributions

Funding: Sources


District/State Purchase Lease Program Lease/Purchase Individual/Family Purchase District Implementation

(e.g., bond issues)

Funding: Options


Funding: Systemic Sustainability

Forensic Technology Audit Key factor for systemic change Incorporation in all aspects of system Integration throughout organization

Analyze and Capture Current $$ Analyze cost vs. benefit Establish guest device deployment practices

Cost Avoidance: Resource Redeployment Phase out and/or eliminate expenses that

are no longer necessary or appropriate


Infrastructure


The ideal mobile device Other factors

- Size- Battery and recharging- Security- Replacement- Hardware/software- Upgrades- Maintenance and support- Teacher-student interactivity- Quality

Infrastructure: Computing Devices


Stability Security Reliability Capacity Supportability Scalability

Infrastructure: Network Support


Infrastructure: Learning Platforms

Learning platforms: a range of integrated Web-based applications Moves nexus of teaching and learning anywhere and everywhere Transforms education beyond school walls Allows anytime access Recapture time: anytime/anywhere learning Follows appropriate settings, goals


Learning Platforms: The Three Cs of Selection

Digital learning environments are the key toaddressing the “three Cs” of learning today: Consume: read and interpret text and imagery Collaborate: share what they’ve learned and work with others

to extend their knowledge Create: demonstrate mastery of content through appropriate

responses that use higher order thinking skills


Learning Platforms


Learning Platforms: Comparison


Professional Development


Professional Development: Crucial

Provide technology one year in advance Use professional development

sessions smartly Answer questions fast Provide ongoing support Implement mentoring programs Train to fix minor connectivity interruptions Identify best uses of technologies Provide appropriate learning opportunities Offer encouragement and support


Digital Content


Digital Content: Rich and Robust

Systemic shift from static to dynamic content Provides enriching, engaging, and dynamic learning experiences Allows students to become masters of their learning (student-

centered and student-produced) Connects to world beyond classroom walls Saves money


Content In every subject In every delivery modality To complement any teaching style To complement any learning style

Available On the Web Through downloads Teacher and student-created For payment

Digital Content: Availability


21st Century Cyber-Skill Set Safety Wellness Literacy Appropriate online behavior

- 21st century vs. “traditional” consequences Balancing risk taking/exploration

with safety and boundaries

Digital Content: Cyber Skills


Teachers and Students Can: Search it Sort it Create it Chunk it Aggregate it Share it Translate it Deliver it

Engage multi-media Flexibly pace according to ability

and style Connect with experts and

resources beyond classroom walls Select according to standards

and benchmarks

Digital Content: Flexibility


Policy


Policies and ProceduresDrive Practice Federal, state, and local expectations

drive systemic behaviors Get involved! Establish an Acceptable Use Policy

Policy: The Foundation


Federal- E2T2, ESEA- NETP

State Local Insurances for theft, damage, vandalism Collaborative faculty plan for

student consequences Media literacy Tool access, security protocols

Policy: Federal, State, Local


Results: The Proof


Results: State and Local

State Initiatives Freedom to Learn (FTL) initiative: Michigan The Maine Learning Technology Initiative Texas TIP Program South Dakota Classroom Connections Program

District Programs Kent, Washington Irving, Texas Lemon Grove, California Auburn, Alabama Henrico, Virginia


Project RED: Key Findings

Ubiquitous technology, when properly implemented, increases student outcomes

Systemic re-engineering through technology saves money, increases access and utilization

Leadership and vision are crucial to success Daily use of technology best realizes the return on investment


Proper Implementation is Key


Project RED: Keys to Success

Student-Computer Ratio Fewer students per computer

improves outcomes

Principal Leadershipand Training Leading school reforms Facilitating buy-in,

best practices, technology-transformed learning

Teachers given time for both professional learning and collaboration

Digital Content Technology-integrated

into core curriculum Technology-integrated

intervention classes Games/simulations

and social media Virtual field trips Search engines Online Assessments:

Formative and summative
