Policy ImplicationsQuestions to Consider
• What else we do we need to teach?
• What do we no longer need to teach?
• Has education become a 24/7 open campus with numerous opportunities for creating learning opportunities within and outside the building?– Classroom management is no longer just about discipline, it’s
managing classrooms – virtual and physical, collaborative teams, different avenues of communication and presentation for students.
– If so, how do we need to reconfigure our classrooms and buildings?

Policy ImplicationsQuestions to Consider
• Do we need to collaborate more with other entities to serve the whole community?
• How do we create a framework where students are active partners but the teachers and administrators still maintain authority?
• If we believe that each person should be a lifelong learner, what does that mean for the students, for the teachers, for the policymakers? How are we modeling that belief? How are we creating an environment in which students set that goal and live it?

Policy ImplicationsQuestions to Consider
• What data is most appropriate for targeting resources, monitoring performance, and setting goals?
• Whose going to manage all the information and how?
• How do we learn to think critically and evaluate the quality of usefulness of data?
• How do we provide access to resources 24/7/365?

Policy Impact: Issues to Consider• Laptop Initiatives• Use of Web 2.0 tools (Social Networking, Blogs, Wikis, etc.)• Online Expression for students and staff (on campus and off)• Internet Safety• Cyberbullying• Ease of plagiarism and cheating• Definition of school day and year• Virtual classes & schools• Privacy• Creating different methods of assessment to include these new
skills and integrating that into the accountability system
