“We can’t be creative if we refuse to be confused. Change always starts with confusion.”

~Margaret Wheatley“Willing to be Disturbed”

My Thesis:

Parents of school aged kids need to be more confused right now.


I THINK...Wednesday, October 16, 13

This is the most disruptive moment in education ever.


But, this is also the most amazing time to be a learner.


Schools are the most important institutions in our communities and in our society.


But, schools and educators need to be “different,” not “better.”


We can no longer want for our kids the same education that we ourselves had.


Generally, our understanding of the potentials of computing and online connections to learn deeply is dangerously inadequate.


Unlike...

Information, knowledge and teachers are in abundant supply and ubiquitous.

The supply of knowledge and information and teachers is expanding and changing at a rate like never before.

We cannot predict the impacts of technological advances on the future of learning and work.






A wide range of new skills and literacies will be required to navigate the future.

Not confused enough...


What LAUSD (and many other schools and districts) don’t realize is in an abundant world:


Learning is globally networked.


Learning is continual.

Learning is create-ive and authentic.


We don’t yet understand that school is everywhere.


What if he’s right?


“What does a middle school algebra teacher do if kindergarteners can start learning to solve equations

within a couple of hours?”


What we don’t realize is that increasingly, college is just one option.

And, finally, what we don’t realize is that the future of work is no longer predictable.


“If you’re talking 100 years, there’s no doubt in my mind that all jobs will be gone, including creative ones. And 100 years is not far in the future — some of our children will be alive in 100 years.”

THE big question:


Can educators make decisions about...

...without deep personal experience in the connected, computing-filled world in which our kids will live?


Where do we start?


LEARNERS FIRST


LEARNERS FIRSTTeachers Second


So...how are you changing?


What important, authentic work have you created with computers and shared with the world?


And, how are you connected to other learners from around the globe who share your passions?


What if professional development looked less like this...


...and more like this instead:


“In times of change, learners inherit the Earth, while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.”
