Julia and Henry
28
My biggest inspirations however are my two children I often think about how I (and their schools) are preparing them for a brave world How can I nurture them to grow up to be innovators I think here at the Avenues that question has been addressed very comprehensively
29
Because of my experiences I feel that our perspectives need to expand Continuous improvement is a worthy goal as we try to navigate educational change

31
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
2010 - The Key School - Annapolis MD
32
So letrsquos think about how your institution is going about grappling with educational change
This I Believe

Political Context
39
So letrsquos talk context What are we dealing with here
Wersquore operating in a political context comprised of many stakeholders with differing priorities
Another Nation at Risk Moment
How13 do13 we13 improve13 teaching13 and13 learning
How13 do13 we13 effectively13 assess13 students13
What13 is13 innovation
40
We are all struggling with these important questions How do we reach consensus and act in the best interest of children13
41
Are we being short sighted
42
Why are we not talking more about authentic student engagement
43
What are the consequences of such stress and pressure
Education Policy
Context
44
We also need to think about the impact of educational policy
This affects independent schools I read an article recently about how some parents are dissatisfied about current public schools and are opting for private schools I also think that independent schools can serve as models for how any type of school can get education right
US Department of Education
bull Common Core Standards
bull New Assessments
bull Personalized Learning
bull Digital Textbooks
bull More Accountability
bull Increased broadband connectivity
45
Here are a few themes addressed by the current administration
ldquoThe Highly Connected Teacherrdquo
The National Educational Technology Plan
46
Highly connected teachers are connected to data to resources and to each other
Connected Educator Month
47
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
48
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
Technological Context
49
Students and Adults
bull Content consumers
bull Content Creators
bull Content Evaluators
bull Connected and Networked
50
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

EdSurge is an start up co-founded by a friend and their goal is to present information about the current ed tech bubble that is growing
ManagingGenerational Diversity
53
Teachers and Students
bull Adults have different learning styles How are we taking this into account in terms of professional development and human capital
bull Baby Boomers
bull Gen Xers
bull Gen Yers
bull Kids have had different levels of exposure to technology The period of time at which our schools have been wired is fairly short
54
Basic online entertainment (online videos playing games)
E-commerce (online shopping banking and travel reservations)
Research and information gathering (product research news health and religious information searches)
Email and search
Active engagement with social media(visit SNS create SNS profile create blogs)
More advanced online entertainment (download videos music and podcasts)
More advanced communication and passive social media use (instant messaging visit SNS read blogs)
From State of the Internet 2009 Pew Internet Project Findings and Implications for Libraries
The vast majority of online adults from all generations uses email and search engines
While there are always exceptions older generations typically do not engage with the internet past e-commerce
The majority of teens and Gen Y use SNS but fewer maintain blogs Online adults older than Gen X are less likely to use SNS

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
88
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
89
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

Political Context
39
So letrsquos talk context What are we dealing with here
Wersquore operating in a political context comprised of many stakeholders with differing priorities
Another Nation at Risk Moment
How13 do13 we13 improve13 teaching13 and13 learning
How13 do13 we13 effectively13 assess13 students13
What13 is13 innovation
40
We are all struggling with these important questions How do we reach consensus and act in the best interest of children13
41
Are we being short sighted
42
Why are we not talking more about authentic student engagement
43
What are the consequences of such stress and pressure
Education Policy
Context
44
We also need to think about the impact of educational policy
This affects independent schools I read an article recently about how some parents are dissatisfied about current public schools and are opting for private schools I also think that independent schools can serve as models for how any type of school can get education right
US Department of Education
bull Common Core Standards
bull New Assessments
bull Personalized Learning
bull Digital Textbooks
bull More Accountability
bull Increased broadband connectivity
45
Here are a few themes addressed by the current administration
ldquoThe Highly Connected Teacherrdquo
The National Educational Technology Plan
46
Highly connected teachers are connected to data to resources and to each other
Connected Educator Month
47
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
48
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
Technological Context
49
Students and Adults
bull Content consumers
bull Content Creators
bull Content Evaluators
bull Connected and Networked
50
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

ManagingGenerational Diversity
53
Teachers and Students
bull Adults have different learning styles How are we taking this into account in terms of professional development and human capital
bull Baby Boomers
bull Gen Xers
bull Gen Yers
bull Kids have had different levels of exposure to technology The period of time at which our schools have been wired is fairly short
54
Basic online entertainment (online videos playing games)
E-commerce (online shopping banking and travel reservations)
Research and information gathering (product research news health and religious information searches)
Email and search
Active engagement with social media(visit SNS create SNS profile create blogs)
More advanced online entertainment (download videos music and podcasts)
More advanced communication and passive social media use (instant messaging visit SNS read blogs)
From State of the Internet 2009 Pew Internet Project Findings and Implications for Libraries
The vast majority of online adults from all generations uses email and search engines
While there are always exceptions older generations typically do not engage with the internet past e-commerce
The majority of teens and Gen Y use SNS but fewer maintain blogs Online adults older than Gen X are less likely to use SNS

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
88
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
89
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

28
My biggest inspirations however are my two children I often think about how I (and their schools) are preparing them for a brave world How can I nurture them to grow up to be innovators I think here at the Avenues that question has been addressed very comprehensively

Are we being short sighted
42
Why are we not talking more about authentic student engagement
43
What are the consequences of such stress and pressure
Education Policy
Context
44
We also need to think about the impact of educational policy
This affects independent schools I read an article recently about how some parents are dissatisfied about current public schools and are opting for private schools I also think that independent schools can serve as models for how any type of school can get education right
US Department of Education
bull Common Core Standards
bull New Assessments

bull Increased broadband connectivity
45
Here are a few themes addressed by the current administration
ldquoThe Highly Connected Teacherrdquo
The National Educational Technology Plan
46
Highly connected teachers are connected to data to resources and to each other
Connected Educator Month
47
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
48
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 Content consumers
bull Content Creators
bull Content Evaluators
bull Connected and Networked

Teachers and Students
bull Adults have different learning styles How are we taking this into account in terms of professional development and human capital
bull Baby Boomers
bull Gen Xers
bull Gen Yers
bull Kids have had different levels of exposure to technology The period of time at which our schools have been wired is fairly short
54
Basic online entertainment (online videos playing games)
E-commerce (online shopping banking and travel reservations)
Research and information gathering (product research news health and religious information searches)
Email and search
Active engagement with social media(visit SNS create SNS profile create blogs)
More advanced online entertainment (download videos music and podcasts)
More advanced communication and passive social media use (instant messaging visit SNS read blogs)
From State of the Internet 2009 Pew Internet Project Findings and Implications for Libraries
The vast majority of online adults from all generations uses email and search engines
While there are always exceptions older generations typically do not engage with the internet past e-commerce
The majority of teens and Gen Y use SNS but fewer maintain blogs Online adults older than Gen X are less likely to use SNS

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
88
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
89
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
88
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
89
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

28
My biggest inspirations however are my two children I often think about how I (and their schools) are preparing them for a brave world How can I nurture them to grow up to be innovators I think here at the Avenues that question has been addressed very comprehensively

32
So letrsquos think about how your institution is going about grappling with educational change
This I Believe
bull Visionary Leadership
bull Empowered Faculty
bull Authentically Engaged Students
bull Progressive teaching and learning practices
bull Authentic school communities

41
Are we being short sighted
42
Why are we not talking more about authentic student engagement
43
What are the consequences of such stress and pressure
Education Policy
Context
44
We also need to think about the impact of educational policy
This affects independent schools I read an article recently about how some parents are dissatisfied about current public schools and are opting for private schools I also think that independent schools can serve as models for how any type of school can get education right
US Department of Education
bull Common Core Standards
bull New Assessments
bull Personalized Learning
bull Digital Textbooks
bull More Accountability
bull Increased broadband connectivity
45
Here are a few themes addressed by the current administration
ldquoThe Highly Connected Teacherrdquo
The National Educational Technology Plan
46
Highly connected teachers are connected to data to resources and to each other
Connected Educator Month
47
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
48
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
Technological Context
49
Students and Adults
bull Content consumers
bull Content Creators
bull Content Evaluators
bull Connected and Networked
50
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

Teachers and Students
bull Adults have different learning styles How are we taking this into account in terms of professional development and human capital
bull Baby Boomers
bull Gen Xers
bull Gen Yers
bull Kids have had different levels of exposure to technology The period of time at which our schools have been wired is fairly short
54
Basic online entertainment (online videos playing games)
E-commerce (online shopping banking and travel reservations)
Research and information gathering (product research news health and religious information searches)
Email and search
Active engagement with social media(visit SNS create SNS profile create blogs)
More advanced online entertainment (download videos music and podcasts)
More advanced communication and passive social media use (instant messaging visit SNS read blogs)
From State of the Internet 2009 Pew Internet Project Findings and Implications for Libraries
The vast majority of online adults from all generations uses email and search engines
While there are always exceptions older generations typically do not engage with the internet past e-commerce
The majority of teens and Gen Y use SNS but fewer maintain blogs Online adults older than Gen X are less likely to use SNS

28
My biggest inspirations however are my two children I often think about how I (and their schools) are preparing them for a brave world How can I nurture them to grow up to be innovators I think here at the Avenues that question has been addressed very comprehensively

So letrsquos think about how your institution is going about grappling with educational change
This I Believe
bull Visionary Leadership
bull Empowered Faculty
bull Authentically Engaged Students
bull Progressive teaching and learning practices
bull Authentic school communities
33
Based on my travels and conversations these are the things I believe in and want to see more of in our schools

Political Context
39
So letrsquos talk context What are we dealing with here
Wersquore operating in a political context comprised of many stakeholders with differing priorities
Another Nation at Risk Moment
How13 do13 we13 improve13 teaching13 and13 learning
How13 do13 we13 effectively13 assess13 students13
What13 is13 innovation
40
We are all struggling with these important questions How do we reach consensus and act in the best interest of children13
41
Are we being short sighted
42
Why are we not talking more about authentic student engagement
43
What are the consequences of such stress and pressure
Education Policy
Context
44
We also need to think about the impact of educational policy
This affects independent schools I read an article recently about how some parents are dissatisfied about current public schools and are opting for private schools I also think that independent schools can serve as models for how any type of school can get education right
US Department of Education
bull Common Core Standards
bull New Assessments
bull Personalized Learning
bull Digital Textbooks
bull More Accountability
bull Increased broadband connectivity
45
Here are a few themes addressed by the current administration
ldquoThe Highly Connected Teacherrdquo
The National Educational Technology Plan
46
Highly connected teachers are connected to data to resources and to each other
Connected Educator Month
47
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
48
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
Technological Context
49
Students and Adults
bull Content consumers
bull Content Creators
bull Content Evaluators
bull Connected and Networked
50
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

53
Teachers and Students
bull Adults have different learning styles How are we taking this into account in terms of professional development and human capital
bull Baby Boomers
bull Gen Xers
bull Gen Yers
bull Kids have had different levels of exposure to technology The period of time at which our schools have been wired is fairly short
54
Basic online entertainment (online videos playing games)
E-commerce (online shopping banking and travel reservations)
Research and information gathering (product research news health and religious information searches)
Email and search
Active engagement with social media(visit SNS create SNS profile create blogs)
More advanced online entertainment (download videos music and podcasts)
More advanced communication and passive social media use (instant messaging visit SNS read blogs)
From State of the Internet 2009 Pew Internet Project Findings and Implications for Libraries
The vast majority of online adults from all generations uses email and search engines
While there are always exceptions older generations typically do not engage with the internet past e-commerce
The majority of teens and Gen Y use SNS but fewer maintain blogs Online adults older than Gen X are less likely to use SNS

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
88
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
89
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

32
So letrsquos think about how your institution is going about grappling with educational change
This I Believe
bull Visionary Leadership

So letrsquos talk context What are we dealing with here
Wersquore operating in a political context comprised of many stakeholders with differing priorities

How13 do13 we13 effectively13 assess13 students13

40
We are all struggling with these important questions How do we reach consensus and act in the best interest of children13
41
Are we being short sighted
42
Why are we not talking more about authentic student engagement
43
What are the consequences of such stress and pressure
Education Policy
Context
44
We also need to think about the impact of educational policy
This affects independent schools I read an article recently about how some parents are dissatisfied about current public schools and are opting for private schools I also think that independent schools can serve as models for how any type of school can get education right
US Department of Education
bull Common Core Standards
bull New Assessments
bull Personalized Learning
bull Digital Textbooks
bull More Accountability
bull Increased broadband connectivity
45
Here are a few themes addressed by the current administration
ldquoThe Highly Connected Teacherrdquo
The National Educational Technology Plan
46
Highly connected teachers are connected to data to resources and to each other
Connected Educator Month
47
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
48
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
Technological Context
49
Students and Adults
bull Content consumers
bull Content Creators
bull Content Evaluators
bull Connected and Networked
50
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

Teachers and Students
bull Adults have different learning styles How are we taking this into account in terms of professional development and human capital
bull Baby Boomers
bull Gen Xers
bull Gen Yers
bull Kids have had different levels of exposure to technology The period of time at which our schools have been wired is fairly short
54
Basic online entertainment (online videos playing games)
E-commerce (online shopping banking and travel reservations)
Research and information gathering (product research news health and religious information searches)
Email and search
Active engagement with social media(visit SNS create SNS profile create blogs)
More advanced online entertainment (download videos music and podcasts)
More advanced communication and passive social media use (instant messaging visit SNS read blogs)
From State of the Internet 2009 Pew Internet Project Findings and Implications for Libraries
The vast majority of online adults from all generations uses email and search engines
While there are always exceptions older generations typically do not engage with the internet past e-commerce
The majority of teens and Gen Y use SNS but fewer maintain blogs Online adults older than Gen X are less likely to use SNS

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
88
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
89
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

My biggest inspirations however are my two children I often think about how I (and their schools) are preparing them for a brave world How can I nurture them to grow up to be innovators I think here at the Avenues that question has been addressed very comprehensively

Because of my experiences I feel that our perspectives need to expand Continuous improvement is a worthy goal as we try to navigate educational change

Political Context
39
So letrsquos talk context What are we dealing with here
Wersquore operating in a political context comprised of many stakeholders with differing priorities
Another Nation at Risk Moment
How13 do13 we13 improve13 teaching13 and13 learning
How13 do13 we13 effectively13 assess13 students13
What13 is13 innovation
40
We are all struggling with these important questions How do we reach consensus and act in the best interest of children13
41
Are we being short sighted
42
Why are we not talking more about authentic student engagement
43
What are the consequences of such stress and pressure
Education Policy
Context
44
We also need to think about the impact of educational policy
This affects independent schools I read an article recently about how some parents are dissatisfied about current public schools and are opting for private schools I also think that independent schools can serve as models for how any type of school can get education right
US Department of Education
bull Common Core Standards
bull New Assessments
bull Personalized Learning
bull Digital Textbooks
bull More Accountability
bull Increased broadband connectivity
45
Here are a few themes addressed by the current administration
ldquoThe Highly Connected Teacherrdquo
The National Educational Technology Plan
46
Highly connected teachers are connected to data to resources and to each other
Connected Educator Month
47
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
48
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
Technological Context
49
Students and Adults
bull Content consumers
bull Content Creators
bull Content Evaluators
bull Connected and Networked
50
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

ManagingGenerational Diversity
53
Teachers and Students
bull Adults have different learning styles How are we taking this into account in terms of professional development and human capital
bull Baby Boomers
bull Gen Xers
bull Gen Yers
bull Kids have had different levels of exposure to technology The period of time at which our schools have been wired is fairly short
54
Basic online entertainment (online videos playing games)
E-commerce (online shopping banking and travel reservations)
Research and information gathering (product research news health and religious information searches)
Email and search
Active engagement with social media(visit SNS create SNS profile create blogs)
More advanced online entertainment (download videos music and podcasts)
More advanced communication and passive social media use (instant messaging visit SNS read blogs)
From State of the Internet 2009 Pew Internet Project Findings and Implications for Libraries
The vast majority of online adults from all generations uses email and search engines
While there are always exceptions older generations typically do not engage with the internet past e-commerce
The majority of teens and Gen Y use SNS but fewer maintain blogs Online adults older than Gen X are less likely to use SNS

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
88
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
89
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

41
Are we being short sighted
42
Why are we not talking more about authentic student engagement
43
What are the consequences of such stress and pressure
Education Policy
Context
44
We also need to think about the impact of educational policy
This affects independent schools I read an article recently about how some parents are dissatisfied about current public schools and are opting for private schools I also think that independent schools can serve as models for how any type of school can get education right
US Department of Education
bull Common Core Standards
bull New Assessments
bull Personalized Learning
bull Digital Textbooks
bull More Accountability
bull Increased broadband connectivity
45
Here are a few themes addressed by the current administration
ldquoThe Highly Connected Teacherrdquo
The National Educational Technology Plan
46
Highly connected teachers are connected to data to resources and to each other
Connected Educator Month
47
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
48
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
Technological Context

Students and Adults
bull Content consumers
bull Content Creators
bull Content Evaluators
bull Connected and Networked
50
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

53
Teachers and Students
bull Adults have different learning styles How are we taking this into account in terms of professional development and human capital
bull Baby Boomers
bull Gen Xers
bull Gen Yers
bull Kids have had different levels of exposure to technology The period of time at which our schools have been wired is fairly short
54
Basic online entertainment (online videos playing games)
E-commerce (online shopping banking and travel reservations)
Research and information gathering (product research news health and religious information searches)
Email and search
Active engagement with social media(visit SNS create SNS profile create blogs)
More advanced online entertainment (download videos music and podcasts)
More advanced communication and passive social media use (instant messaging visit SNS read blogs)
From State of the Internet 2009 Pew Internet Project Findings and Implications for Libraries
The vast majority of online adults from all generations uses email and search engines
While there are always exceptions older generations typically do not engage with the internet past e-commerce
The majority of teens and Gen Y use SNS but fewer maintain blogs Online adults older than Gen X are less likely to use SNS

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
88
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
89
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
88
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
89
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 think about how your institution is going about grappling with educational change
This I Believe
bull Visionary Leadership
bull Empowered Faculty
bull Authentically Engaged Students
bull Progressive teaching and learning practices
bull Authentic school communities

41
Are we being short sighted
42
Why are we not talking more about authentic student engagement
43
What are the consequences of such stress and pressure
Education Policy
Context
44
We also need to think about the impact of educational policy
This affects independent schools I read an article recently about how some parents are dissatisfied about current public schools and are opting for private schools I also think that independent schools can serve as models for how any type of school can get education right
US Department of Education
bull Common Core Standards
bull New Assessments
bull Personalized Learning
bull Digital Textbooks
bull More Accountability
bull Increased broadband connectivity
45
Here are a few themes addressed by the current administration
ldquoThe Highly Connected Teacherrdquo
The National Educational Technology Plan
46
Highly connected teachers are connected to data to resources and to each other
Connected Educator Month
47
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
48
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
Technological Context
49
Students and Adults
bull Content consumers
bull Content Creators
bull Content Evaluators
bull Connected and Networked
50
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

bull Adults have different learning styles How are we taking this into account in terms of professional development and human capital
bull Baby Boomers
bull Gen Xers
bull Gen Yers
bull Kids have had different levels of exposure to technology The period of time at which our schools have been wired is fairly short
54
Basic online entertainment (online videos playing games)
E-commerce (online shopping banking and travel reservations)
Research and information gathering (product research news health and religious information searches)
Email and search
Active engagement with social media(visit SNS create SNS profile create blogs)
More advanced online entertainment (download videos music and podcasts)
More advanced communication and passive social media use (instant messaging visit SNS read blogs)
From State of the Internet 2009 Pew Internet Project Findings and Implications for Libraries
The vast majority of online adults from all generations uses email and search engines
While there are always exceptions older generations typically do not engage with the internet past e-commerce
The majority of teens and Gen Y use SNS but fewer maintain blogs Online adults older than Gen X are less likely to use SNS

28
My biggest inspirations however are my two children I often think about how I (and their schools) are preparing them for a brave world How can I nurture them to grow up to be innovators I think here at the Avenues that question has been addressed very comprehensively

32
So letrsquos think about how your institution is going about grappling with educational change
This I Believe
bull Visionary Leadership
bull Empowered Faculty
bull Authentically Engaged Students
bull Progressive teaching and learning practices
bull Authentic school communities
33
Based on my travels and conversations these are the things I believe in and want to see more of in our schools
Visionary Leadership

Political Context

So letrsquos talk context What are we dealing with here
Wersquore operating in a political context comprised of many stakeholders with differing priorities
Another Nation at Risk Moment
How13 do13 we13 improve13 teaching13 and13 learning
How13 do13 we13 effectively13 assess13 students13
What13 is13 innovation
40
We are all struggling with these important questions How do we reach consensus and act in the best interest of children13
41
Are we being short sighted
42
Why are we not talking more about authentic student engagement
43
What are the consequences of such stress and pressure
Education Policy
Context
44
We also need to think about the impact of educational policy
This affects independent schools I read an article recently about how some parents are dissatisfied about current public schools and are opting for private schools I also think that independent schools can serve as models for how any type of school can get education right
US Department of Education
bull Common Core Standards
bull New Assessments
bull Personalized Learning
bull Digital Textbooks
bull More Accountability
bull Increased broadband connectivity
45
Here are a few themes addressed by the current administration
ldquoThe Highly Connected Teacherrdquo
The National Educational Technology Plan
46
Highly connected teachers are connected to data to resources and to each other
Connected Educator Month
47
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
48
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
Technological Context
49
Students and Adults
bull Content consumers
bull Content Creators
bull Content Evaluators
bull Connected and Networked
50
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

Teachers and Students
bull Adults have different learning styles How are we taking this into account in terms of professional development and human capital
bull Baby Boomers
bull Gen Xers
bull Gen Yers
bull Kids have had different levels of exposure to technology The period of time at which our schools have been wired is fairly short
54
Basic online entertainment (online videos playing games)
E-commerce (online shopping banking and travel reservations)
Research and information gathering (product research news health and religious information searches)
Email and search
Active engagement with social media(visit SNS create SNS profile create blogs)
More advanced online entertainment (download videos music and podcasts)
More advanced communication and passive social media use (instant messaging visit SNS read blogs)
From State of the Internet 2009 Pew Internet Project Findings and Implications for Libraries
The vast majority of online adults from all generations uses email and search engines
While there are always exceptions older generations typically do not engage with the internet past e-commerce
The majority of teens and Gen Y use SNS but fewer maintain blogs Online adults older than Gen X are less likely to use SNS

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
88
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
89
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

My biggest inspirations however are my two children I often think about how I (and their schools) are preparing them for a brave world How can I nurture them to grow up to be innovators I think here at the Avenues that question has been addressed very comprehensively

Political Context
39
So letrsquos talk context What are we dealing with here
Wersquore operating in a political context comprised of many stakeholders with differing priorities
Another Nation at Risk Moment
How13 do13 we13 improve13 teaching13 and13 learning
How13 do13 we13 effectively13 assess13 students13
What13 is13 innovation
40
We are all struggling with these important questions How do we reach consensus and act in the best interest of children13
41
Are we being short sighted
42
Why are we not talking more about authentic student engagement
43
What are the consequences of such stress and pressure
Education Policy
Context
44
We also need to think about the impact of educational policy
This affects independent schools I read an article recently about how some parents are dissatisfied about current public schools and are opting for private schools I also think that independent schools can serve as models for how any type of school can get education right
US Department of Education
bull Common Core Standards
bull New Assessments
bull Personalized Learning
bull Digital Textbooks
bull More Accountability
bull Increased broadband connectivity
45
Here are a few themes addressed by the current administration
ldquoThe Highly Connected Teacherrdquo
The National Educational Technology Plan
46
Highly connected teachers are connected to data to resources and to each other
Connected Educator Month
47
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
48
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
Technological Context
49
Students and Adults
bull Content consumers
bull Content Creators
bull Content Evaluators
bull Connected and Networked
50
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

ManagingGenerational Diversity
53
Teachers and Students
bull Adults have different learning styles How are we taking this into account in terms of professional development and human capital
bull Baby Boomers
bull Gen Xers
bull Gen Yers
bull Kids have had different levels of exposure to technology The period of time at which our schools have been wired is fairly short
54
Basic online entertainment (online videos playing games)
E-commerce (online shopping banking and travel reservations)
Research and information gathering (product research news health and religious information searches)
Email and search
Active engagement with social media(visit SNS create SNS profile create blogs)
More advanced online entertainment (download videos music and podcasts)
More advanced communication and passive social media use (instant messaging visit SNS read blogs)
From State of the Internet 2009 Pew Internet Project Findings and Implications for Libraries
The vast majority of online adults from all generations uses email and search engines
While there are always exceptions older generations typically do not engage with the internet past e-commerce
The majority of teens and Gen Y use SNS but fewer maintain blogs Online adults older than Gen X are less likely to use SNS

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
88
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
89
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

Active engagement with social media(visit SNS create SNS profile create blogs)
More advanced online entertainment (download videos music and podcasts)
More advanced communication and passive social media use (instant messaging visit SNS read blogs)
From State of the Internet 2009 Pew Internet Project Findings and Implications for Libraries
The vast majority of online adults from all generations uses email and search engines
While there are always exceptions older generations typically do not engage with the internet past e-commerce
The majority of teens and Gen Y use SNS but fewer maintain blogs Online adults older than Gen X are less likely to use SNS

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
88
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
89
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

88
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
89
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

41
Are we being short sighted
42
Why are we not talking more about authentic student engagement
43
What are the consequences of such stress and pressure
Education Policy
Context
44
We also need to think about the impact of educational policy
This affects independent schools I read an article recently about how some parents are dissatisfied about current public schools and are opting for private schools I also think that independent schools can serve as models for how any type of school can get education right

Here are a few themes addressed by the current administration
ldquoThe Highly Connected Teacherrdquo
The National Educational Technology Plan
46
Highly connected teachers are connected to data to resources and to each other
Connected Educator Month
47
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
48
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
Technological Context
49
Students and Adults
bull Content consumers
bull Content Creators
bull Content Evaluators
bull Connected and Networked
50
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

54
Basic online entertainment (online videos playing games)
E-commerce (online shopping banking and travel reservations)
Research and information gathering (product research news health and religious information searches)
Email and search
Active engagement with social media(visit SNS create SNS profile create blogs)
More advanced online entertainment (download videos music and podcasts)
More advanced communication and passive social media use (instant messaging visit SNS read blogs)
From State of the Internet 2009 Pew Internet Project Findings and Implications for Libraries
The vast majority of online adults from all generations uses email and search engines
While there are always exceptions older generations typically do not engage with the internet past e-commerce
The majority of teens and Gen Y use SNS but fewer maintain blogs Online adults older than Gen X are less likely to use SNS

28
My biggest inspirations however are my two children I often think about how I (and their schools) are preparing them for a brave world How can I nurture them to grow up to be innovators I think here at the Avenues that question has been addressed very comprehensively

Because of my experiences I feel that our perspectives need to expand Continuous improvement is a worthy goal as we try to navigate educational change

2010 - The Key School - Annapolis MD
32
So letrsquos think about how your institution is going about grappling with educational change
This I Believe
bull Visionary Leadership
bull Empowered Faculty
bull Authentically Engaged Students
bull Progressive teaching and learning practices
bull Authentic school communities
33
Based on my travels and conversations these are the things I believe in and want to see more of in our schools
Visionary Leadership
34
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

Political Context
39
So letrsquos talk context What are we dealing with here
Wersquore operating in a political context comprised of many stakeholders with differing priorities
Another Nation at Risk Moment
How13 do13 we13 improve13 teaching13 and13 learning
How13 do13 we13 effectively13 assess13 students13
What13 is13 innovation
40
We are all struggling with these important questions How do we reach consensus and act in the best interest of children13
41
Are we being short sighted
42
Why are we not talking more about authentic student engagement
43
What are the consequences of such stress and pressure
Education Policy
Context
44
We also need to think about the impact of educational policy
This affects independent schools I read an article recently about how some parents are dissatisfied about current public schools and are opting for private schools I also think that independent schools can serve as models for how any type of school can get education right
US Department of Education
bull Common Core Standards
bull New Assessments
bull Personalized Learning
bull Digital Textbooks
bull More Accountability
bull Increased broadband connectivity
45
Here are a few themes addressed by the current administration
ldquoThe Highly Connected Teacherrdquo
The National Educational Technology Plan
46
Highly connected teachers are connected to data to resources and to each other
Connected Educator Month
47
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
48
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
Technological Context
49
Students and Adults
bull Content consumers
bull Content Creators
bull Content Evaluators
bull Connected and Networked
50
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

53
Teachers and Students
bull Adults have different learning styles How are we taking this into account in terms of professional development and human capital
bull Baby Boomers
bull Gen Xers
bull Gen Yers
bull Kids have had different levels of exposure to technology The period of time at which our schools have been wired is fairly short
54
Basic online entertainment (online videos playing games)
E-commerce (online shopping banking and travel reservations)
Research and information gathering (product research news health and religious information searches)
Email and search
Active engagement with social media(visit SNS create SNS profile create blogs)
More advanced online entertainment (download videos music and podcasts)
More advanced communication and passive social media use (instant messaging visit SNS read blogs)
From State of the Internet 2009 Pew Internet Project Findings and Implications for Libraries
The vast majority of online adults from all generations uses email and search engines
While there are always exceptions older generations typically do not engage with the internet past e-commerce
The majority of teens and Gen Y use SNS but fewer maintain blogs Online adults older than Gen X are less likely to use SNS

So letrsquos think about how your institution is going about grappling with educational change
This I Believe

Political Context

So letrsquos talk context What are we dealing with here
Wersquore operating in a political context comprised of many stakeholders with differing priorities
Another Nation at Risk Moment
How13 do13 we13 improve13 teaching13 and13 learning
How13 do13 we13 effectively13 assess13 students13
What13 is13 innovation
40
We are all struggling with these important questions How do we reach consensus and act in the best interest of children13
41
Are we being short sighted
42
Why are we not talking more about authentic student engagement
43
What are the consequences of such stress and pressure
Education Policy
Context
44
We also need to think about the impact of educational policy
This affects independent schools I read an article recently about how some parents are dissatisfied about current public schools and are opting for private schools I also think that independent schools can serve as models for how any type of school can get education right
US Department of Education
bull Common Core Standards
bull New Assessments
bull Personalized Learning
bull Digital Textbooks
bull More Accountability
bull Increased broadband connectivity
45
Here are a few themes addressed by the current administration
ldquoThe Highly Connected Teacherrdquo
The National Educational Technology Plan
46
Highly connected teachers are connected to data to resources and to each other
Connected Educator Month
47
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
48
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
Technological Context
49
Students and Adults
bull Content consumers
bull Content Creators
bull Content Evaluators
bull Connected and Networked
50
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

53
Teachers and Students
bull Adults have different learning styles How are we taking this into account in terms of professional development and human capital
bull Baby Boomers
bull Gen Xers
bull Gen Yers
bull Kids have had different levels of exposure to technology The period of time at which our schools have been wired is fairly short
54
Basic online entertainment (online videos playing games)
E-commerce (online shopping banking and travel reservations)
Research and information gathering (product research news health and religious information searches)
Email and search
Active engagement with social media(visit SNS create SNS profile create blogs)
More advanced online entertainment (download videos music and podcasts)
More advanced communication and passive social media use (instant messaging visit SNS read blogs)
From State of the Internet 2009 Pew Internet Project Findings and Implications for Libraries
The vast majority of online adults from all generations uses email and search engines
While there are always exceptions older generations typically do not engage with the internet past e-commerce
The majority of teens and Gen Y use SNS but fewer maintain blogs Online adults older than Gen X are less likely to use SNS

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
88
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
89
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
88
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
89
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
88
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
89
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

Herersquos a list of some of the experiences that I bring to the table While most educators are silorsquod in their school buildings Irsquove been very fortunate to visit a wide variety of institutions My favorite thing to do is to tell stories of the work and initiatives that I find inspiring
Julia and Henry
28
My biggest inspirations however are my two children I often think about how I (and their schools) are preparing them for a brave world How can I nurture them to grow up to be innovators I think here at the Avenues that question has been addressed very comprehensively
29
Because of my experiences I feel that our perspectives need to expand Continuous improvement is a worthy goal as we try to navigate educational change

31
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
2010 - The Key School - Annapolis MD
32
So letrsquos think about how your institution is going about grappling with educational change
This I Believe
bull Visionary Leadership
bull Empowered Faculty
bull Authentically Engaged Students
bull Progressive teaching and learning practices
bull Authentic school communities
33
Based on my travels and conversations these are the things I believe in and want to see more of in our schools

Wersquore operating in a political context comprised of many stakeholders with differing priorities

How13 do13 we13 effectively13 assess13 students13
What13 is13 innovation
40
We are all struggling with these important questions How do we reach consensus and act in the best interest of children13
41
Are we being short sighted
42
Why are we not talking more about authentic student engagement
43
What are the consequences of such stress and pressure
Education Policy
Context
44
We also need to think about the impact of educational policy
This affects independent schools I read an article recently about how some parents are dissatisfied about current public schools and are opting for private schools I also think that independent schools can serve as models for how any type of school can get education right
US Department of Education
bull Common Core Standards
bull New Assessments
bull Personalized Learning
bull Digital Textbooks
bull More Accountability
bull Increased broadband connectivity
45
Here are a few themes addressed by the current administration
ldquoThe Highly Connected Teacherrdquo
The National Educational Technology Plan
46
Highly connected teachers are connected to data to resources and to each other
Connected Educator Month
47
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
48
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
Technological Context
49
Students and Adults
bull Content consumers
bull Content Creators
bull Content Evaluators
bull Connected and Networked
50
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

Teachers and Students
bull Adults have different learning styles How are we taking this into account in terms of professional development and human capital
bull Baby Boomers
bull Gen Xers
bull Gen Yers
bull Kids have had different levels of exposure to technology The period of time at which our schools have been wired is fairly short
54
Basic online entertainment (online videos playing games)
E-commerce (online shopping banking and travel reservations)
Research and information gathering (product research news health and religious information searches)
Email and search
Active engagement with social media(visit SNS create SNS profile create blogs)
More advanced online entertainment (download videos music and podcasts)
More advanced communication and passive social media use (instant messaging visit SNS read blogs)
From State of the Internet 2009 Pew Internet Project Findings and Implications for Libraries
The vast majority of online adults from all generations uses email and search engines
While there are always exceptions older generations typically do not engage with the internet past e-commerce
The majority of teens and Gen Y use SNS but fewer maintain blogs Online adults older than Gen X are less likely to use SNS

Herersquos a list of some of the experiences that I bring to the table While most educators are silorsquod in their school buildings Irsquove been very fortunate to visit a wide variety of institutions My favorite thing to do is to tell stories of the work and initiatives that I find inspiring
Julia and Henry
28
My biggest inspirations however are my two children I often think about how I (and their schools) are preparing them for a brave world How can I nurture them to grow up to be innovators I think here at the Avenues that question has been addressed very comprehensively

Because of my experiences I feel that our perspectives need to expand Continuous improvement is a worthy goal as we try to navigate educational change

31
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
2010 - The Key School - Annapolis MD
32
So letrsquos think about how your institution is going about grappling with educational change
This I Believe
bull Visionary Leadership
bull Empowered Faculty
bull Authentically Engaged Students
bull Progressive teaching and learning practices
bull Authentic school communities
33
Based on my travels and conversations these are the things I believe in and want to see more of in our schools
Visionary Leadership
34

Political Context
39
So letrsquos talk context What are we dealing with here
Wersquore operating in a political context comprised of many stakeholders with differing priorities
Another Nation at Risk Moment
How13 do13 we13 improve13 teaching13 and13 learning
How13 do13 we13 effectively13 assess13 students13
What13 is13 innovation
40
We are all struggling with these important questions How do we reach consensus and act in the best interest of children13
41
Are we being short sighted
42
Why are we not talking more about authentic student engagement
43
What are the consequences of such stress and pressure
Education Policy
Context
44
We also need to think about the impact of educational policy
This affects independent schools I read an article recently about how some parents are dissatisfied about current public schools and are opting for private schools I also think that independent schools can serve as models for how any type of school can get education right
US Department of Education
bull Common Core Standards
bull New Assessments
bull Personalized Learning
bull Digital Textbooks
bull More Accountability
bull Increased broadband connectivity
45
Here are a few themes addressed by the current administration
ldquoThe Highly Connected Teacherrdquo
The National Educational Technology Plan
46
Highly connected teachers are connected to data to resources and to each other
Connected Educator Month
47
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
48
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
Technological Context
49
Students and Adults
bull Content consumers
bull Content Creators
bull Content Evaluators
bull Connected and Networked
50
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

ManagingGenerational Diversity
53
Teachers and Students
bull Adults have different learning styles How are we taking this into account in terms of professional development and human capital
bull Baby Boomers
bull Gen Xers
bull Gen Yers
bull Kids have had different levels of exposure to technology The period of time at which our schools have been wired is fairly short
54
Basic online entertainment (online videos playing games)
E-commerce (online shopping banking and travel reservations)
Research and information gathering (product research news health and religious information searches)
Email and search
Active engagement with social media(visit SNS create SNS profile create blogs)
More advanced online entertainment (download videos music and podcasts)
More advanced communication and passive social media use (instant messaging visit SNS read blogs)
From State of the Internet 2009 Pew Internet Project Findings and Implications for Libraries
The vast majority of online adults from all generations uses email and search engines
While there are always exceptions older generations typically do not engage with the internet past e-commerce
The majority of teens and Gen Y use SNS but fewer maintain blogs Online adults older than Gen X are less likely to use SNS

Political Context
39
So letrsquos talk context What are we dealing with here
Wersquore operating in a political context comprised of many stakeholders with differing priorities
Another Nation at Risk Moment
How13 do13 we13 improve13 teaching13 and13 learning
How13 do13 we13 effectively13 assess13 students13
What13 is13 innovation
40
We are all struggling with these important questions How do we reach consensus and act in the best interest of children13
41
Are we being short sighted
42
Why are we not talking more about authentic student engagement
43
What are the consequences of such stress and pressure
Education Policy
Context
44
We also need to think about the impact of educational policy
This affects independent schools I read an article recently about how some parents are dissatisfied about current public schools and are opting for private schools I also think that independent schools can serve as models for how any type of school can get education right
US Department of Education
bull Common Core Standards
bull New Assessments
bull Personalized Learning
bull Digital Textbooks
bull More Accountability
bull Increased broadband connectivity
45
Here are a few themes addressed by the current administration
ldquoThe Highly Connected Teacherrdquo
The National Educational Technology Plan
46
Highly connected teachers are connected to data to resources and to each other
Connected Educator Month
47
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
48
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
Technological Context
49
Students and Adults
bull Content consumers
bull Content Creators
bull Content Evaluators
bull Connected and Networked
50
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

ManagingGenerational Diversity
53
Teachers and Students
bull Adults have different learning styles How are we taking this into account in terms of professional development and human capital
bull Baby Boomers
bull Gen Xers
bull Gen Yers
bull Kids have had different levels of exposure to technology The period of time at which our schools have been wired is fairly short
54
Basic online entertainment (online videos playing games)
E-commerce (online shopping banking and travel reservations)
Research and information gathering (product research news health and religious information searches)
Email and search
Active engagement with social media(visit SNS create SNS profile create blogs)
More advanced online entertainment (download videos music and podcasts)
More advanced communication and passive social media use (instant messaging visit SNS read blogs)
From State of the Internet 2009 Pew Internet Project Findings and Implications for Libraries
The vast majority of online adults from all generations uses email and search engines
While there are always exceptions older generations typically do not engage with the internet past e-commerce
The majority of teens and Gen Y use SNS but fewer maintain blogs Online adults older than Gen X are less likely to use SNS

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
88
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
89
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
88
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
89
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

28
My biggest inspirations however are my two children I often think about how I (and their schools) are preparing them for a brave world How can I nurture them to grow up to be innovators I think here at the Avenues that question has been addressed very comprehensively

Herersquos a list of some of the experiences that I bring to the table While most educators are silorsquod in their school buildings Irsquove been very fortunate to visit a wide variety of institutions My favorite thing to do is to tell stories of the work and initiatives that I find inspiring
Julia and Henry
28
My biggest inspirations however are my two children I often think about how I (and their schools) are preparing them for a brave world How can I nurture them to grow up to be innovators I think here at the Avenues that question has been addressed very comprehensively
29
Because of my experiences I feel that our perspectives need to expand Continuous improvement is a worthy goal as we try to navigate educational change

31
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
2010 - The Key School - Annapolis MD
32
So letrsquos think about how your institution is going about grappling with educational change
This I Believe
bull Visionary Leadership
bull Empowered Faculty
bull Authentically Engaged Students
bull Progressive teaching and learning practices
bull Authentic school communities
33
Based on my travels and conversations these are the things I believe in and want to see more of in our schools
Visionary Leadership

Political Context
39
So letrsquos talk context What are we dealing with here
Wersquore operating in a political context comprised of many stakeholders with differing priorities
Another Nation at Risk Moment
How13 do13 we13 improve13 teaching13 and13 learning
How13 do13 we13 effectively13 assess13 students13
What13 is13 innovation
40
We are all struggling with these important questions How do we reach consensus and act in the best interest of children13
41
Are we being short sighted
42
Why are we not talking more about authentic student engagement
43
What are the consequences of such stress and pressure
Education Policy
Context
44
We also need to think about the impact of educational policy
This affects independent schools I read an article recently about how some parents are dissatisfied about current public schools and are opting for private schools I also think that independent schools can serve as models for how any type of school can get education right
US Department of Education
bull Common Core Standards
bull New Assessments
bull Personalized Learning
bull Digital Textbooks
bull More Accountability
bull Increased broadband connectivity
45
Here are a few themes addressed by the current administration
ldquoThe Highly Connected Teacherrdquo
The National Educational Technology Plan
46
Highly connected teachers are connected to data to resources and to each other
Connected Educator Month
47
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
48
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
Technological Context
49
Students and Adults
bull Content consumers
bull Content Creators
bull Content Evaluators
bull Connected and Networked
50
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

53
Teachers and Students
bull Adults have different learning styles How are we taking this into account in terms of professional development and human capital
bull Baby Boomers
bull Gen Xers
bull Gen Yers
bull Kids have had different levels of exposure to technology The period of time at which our schools have been wired is fairly short
54
Basic online entertainment (online videos playing games)
E-commerce (online shopping banking and travel reservations)
Research and information gathering (product research news health and religious information searches)
Email and search
Active engagement with social media(visit SNS create SNS profile create blogs)
More advanced online entertainment (download videos music and podcasts)
More advanced communication and passive social media use (instant messaging visit SNS read blogs)
From State of the Internet 2009 Pew Internet Project Findings and Implications for Libraries
The vast majority of online adults from all generations uses email and search engines
While there are always exceptions older generations typically do not engage with the internet past e-commerce
The majority of teens and Gen Y use SNS but fewer maintain blogs Online adults older than Gen X are less likely to use SNS

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
2010 - The Key School - Annapolis MD
32
So letrsquos think about how your institution is going about grappling with educational change
This I Believe
bull Visionary Leadership
bull Empowered Faculty
bull Authentically Engaged Students
bull Progressive teaching and learning practices
bull Authentic school communities
33
Based on my travels and conversations these are the things I believe in and want to see more of in our schools
Visionary Leadership
34
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
34
Empowered Faculty

Schools13 that13 show13 evidence13 that13 their13 faculty13 really13 knows13 and13 understands13 their13 students13
36
Progressive Teaching and Learning Practices

Political Context
39
So letrsquos talk context What are we dealing with here
Wersquore operating in a political context comprised of many stakeholders with differing priorities
Another Nation at Risk Moment
How13 do13 we13 improve13 teaching13 and13 learning
How13 do13 we13 effectively13 assess13 students13
What13 is13 innovation
40
We are all struggling with these important questions How do we reach consensus and act in the best interest of children13
41
Are we being short sighted
42
Why are we not talking more about authentic student engagement
43
What are the consequences of such stress and pressure
Education Policy
Context
44
We also need to think about the impact of educational policy
This affects independent schools I read an article recently about how some parents are dissatisfied about current public schools and are opting for private schools I also think that independent schools can serve as models for how any type of school can get education right
US Department of Education
bull Common Core Standards
bull New Assessments
bull Personalized Learning
bull Digital Textbooks
bull More Accountability
bull Increased broadband connectivity
45
Here are a few themes addressed by the current administration
ldquoThe Highly Connected Teacherrdquo
The National Educational Technology Plan
46
Highly connected teachers are connected to data to resources and to each other
Connected Educator Month
47
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
48
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
Technological Context
49
Students and Adults
bull Content consumers
bull Content Creators
bull Content Evaluators
bull Connected and Networked
50
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

EdSurge is an start up co-founded by a friend and their goal is to present information about the current ed tech bubble that is growing
ManagingGenerational Diversity
53
Teachers and Students
bull Adults have different learning styles How are we taking this into account in terms of professional development and human capital
bull Baby Boomers
bull Gen Xers
bull Gen Yers
bull Kids have had different levels of exposure to technology The period of time at which our schools have been wired is fairly short
54
Basic online entertainment (online videos playing games)
E-commerce (online shopping banking and travel reservations)
Research and information gathering (product research news health and religious information searches)
Email and search
Active engagement with social media(visit SNS create SNS profile create blogs)
More advanced online entertainment (download videos music and podcasts)
More advanced communication and passive social media use (instant messaging visit SNS read blogs)
From State of the Internet 2009 Pew Internet Project Findings and Implications for Libraries
The vast majority of online adults from all generations uses email and search engines
While there are always exceptions older generations typically do not engage with the internet past e-commerce
The majority of teens and Gen Y use SNS but fewer maintain blogs Online adults older than Gen X are less likely to use SNS

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
88
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
89
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

They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
89
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

Our perspectives need to

Because of my experiences I feel that our perspectives need to expand Continuous improvement is a worthy goal as we try to navigate educational change

31
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
2010 - The Key School - Annapolis MD
32
So letrsquos think about how your institution is going about grappling with educational change
This I Believe
bull Visionary Leadership
bull Empowered Faculty
bull Authentically Engaged Students
bull Progressive teaching and learning practices
bull Authentic school communities
33
Based on my travels and conversations these are the things I believe in and want to see more of in our schools
Visionary Leadership

Political Context
39
So letrsquos talk context What are we dealing with here
Wersquore operating in a political context comprised of many stakeholders with differing priorities
Another Nation at Risk Moment
How13 do13 we13 improve13 teaching13 and13 learning
How13 do13 we13 effectively13 assess13 students13
What13 is13 innovation
40
We are all struggling with these important questions How do we reach consensus and act in the best interest of children13
41
Are we being short sighted
42
Why are we not talking more about authentic student engagement
43
What are the consequences of such stress and pressure
Education Policy
Context
44
We also need to think about the impact of educational policy
This affects independent schools I read an article recently about how some parents are dissatisfied about current public schools and are opting for private schools I also think that independent schools can serve as models for how any type of school can get education right
US Department of Education
bull Common Core Standards
bull New Assessments
bull Personalized Learning
bull Digital Textbooks
bull More Accountability
bull Increased broadband connectivity
45
Here are a few themes addressed by the current administration
ldquoThe Highly Connected Teacherrdquo
The National Educational Technology Plan
46
Highly connected teachers are connected to data to resources and to each other
Connected Educator Month
47
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
48
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
Technological Context
49
Students and Adults
bull Content consumers
bull Content Creators
bull Content Evaluators
bull Connected and Networked
50
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

53
Teachers and Students
bull Adults have different learning styles How are we taking this into account in terms of professional development and human capital
bull Baby Boomers
bull Gen Xers
bull Gen Yers
bull Kids have had different levels of exposure to technology The period of time at which our schools have been wired is fairly short
54
Basic online entertainment (online videos playing games)
E-commerce (online shopping banking and travel reservations)
Research and information gathering (product research news health and religious information searches)
Email and search
Active engagement with social media(visit SNS create SNS profile create blogs)
More advanced online entertainment (download videos music and podcasts)
More advanced communication and passive social media use (instant messaging visit SNS read blogs)
From State of the Internet 2009 Pew Internet Project Findings and Implications for Libraries
The vast majority of online adults from all generations uses email and search engines
While there are always exceptions older generations typically do not engage with the internet past e-commerce
The majority of teens and Gen Y use SNS but fewer maintain blogs Online adults older than Gen X are less likely to use SNS

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
2010 - The Key School - Annapolis MD
32
So letrsquos think about how your institution is going about grappling with educational change
This I Believe
bull Visionary Leadership
bull Empowered Faculty

Political Context
39
So letrsquos talk context What are we dealing with here
Wersquore operating in a political context comprised of many stakeholders with differing priorities
Another Nation at Risk Moment
How13 do13 we13 improve13 teaching13 and13 learning
How13 do13 we13 effectively13 assess13 students13
What13 is13 innovation
40
We are all struggling with these important questions How do we reach consensus and act in the best interest of children13
41
Are we being short sighted
42
Why are we not talking more about authentic student engagement
43
What are the consequences of such stress and pressure
Education Policy
Context
44
We also need to think about the impact of educational policy
This affects independent schools I read an article recently about how some parents are dissatisfied about current public schools and are opting for private schools I also think that independent schools can serve as models for how any type of school can get education right
US Department of Education
bull Common Core Standards
bull New Assessments
bull Personalized Learning
bull Digital Textbooks
bull More Accountability
bull Increased broadband connectivity
45
Here are a few themes addressed by the current administration
ldquoThe Highly Connected Teacherrdquo
The National Educational Technology Plan
46
Highly connected teachers are connected to data to resources and to each other
Connected Educator Month
47
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
48
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
Technological Context
49
Students and Adults
bull Content consumers
bull Content Creators
bull Content Evaluators
bull Connected and Networked
50
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

ManagingGenerational Diversity
53
Teachers and Students
bull Adults have different learning styles How are we taking this into account in terms of professional development and human capital
bull Baby Boomers
bull Gen Xers
bull Gen Yers
bull Kids have had different levels of exposure to technology The period of time at which our schools have been wired is fairly short
54
Basic online entertainment (online videos playing games)
E-commerce (online shopping banking and travel reservations)
Research and information gathering (product research news health and religious information searches)
Email and search
Active engagement with social media(visit SNS create SNS profile create blogs)
More advanced online entertainment (download videos music and podcasts)
More advanced communication and passive social media use (instant messaging visit SNS read blogs)
From State of the Internet 2009 Pew Internet Project Findings and Implications for Libraries
The vast majority of online adults from all generations uses email and search engines
While there are always exceptions older generations typically do not engage with the internet past e-commerce
The majority of teens and Gen Y use SNS but fewer maintain blogs Online adults older than Gen X are less likely to use SNS

Implications for Schools
bull Need for strategic human capital planning
bull Need for increased targeted sustained personalized and thoughtful professional development
bull Need for long range planning for studentsrsquo use of technology
bull Requires schools to think of skills sets needed by students at various points in their academic careers while gauging the future of technology

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
88
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
89
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

Email and search
Active engagement with social media(visit SNS create SNS profile create blogs)
More advanced online entertainment (download videos music and podcasts)
More advanced communication and passive social media use (instant messaging visit SNS read blogs)
From State of the Internet 2009 Pew Internet Project Findings and Implications for Libraries
The vast majority of online adults from all generations uses email and search engines
While there are always exceptions older generations typically do not engage with the internet past e-commerce
The majority of teens and Gen Y use SNS but fewer maintain blogs Online adults older than Gen X are less likely to use SNS

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
88
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
89
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
88
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
89
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

Political Context
39
So letrsquos talk context What are we dealing with here
Wersquore operating in a political context comprised of many stakeholders with differing priorities
Another Nation at Risk Moment
How13 do13 we13 improve13 teaching13 and13 learning
How13 do13 we13 effectively13 assess13 students13
What13 is13 innovation
40
We are all struggling with these important questions How do we reach consensus and act in the best interest of children13
41
Are we being short sighted
42
Why are we not talking more about authentic student engagement
43
What are the consequences of such stress and pressure
Education Policy
Context
44
We also need to think about the impact of educational policy
This affects independent schools I read an article recently about how some parents are dissatisfied about current public schools and are opting for private schools I also think that independent schools can serve as models for how any type of school can get education right
US Department of Education
bull Common Core Standards
bull New Assessments
bull Personalized Learning
bull Digital Textbooks
bull More Accountability
bull Increased broadband connectivity
45
Here are a few themes addressed by the current administration
ldquoThe Highly Connected Teacherrdquo
The National Educational Technology Plan
46
Highly connected teachers are connected to data to resources and to each other
Connected Educator Month
47
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
48
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
Technological Context
49
Students and Adults
bull Content consumers
bull Content Creators
bull Content Evaluators
bull Connected and Networked
50
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

53
Teachers and Students
bull Adults have different learning styles How are we taking this into account in terms of professional development and human capital
bull Baby Boomers
bull Gen Xers
bull Gen Yers
bull Kids have had different levels of exposure to technology The period of time at which our schools have been wired is fairly short
54
Basic online entertainment (online videos playing games)
E-commerce (online shopping banking and travel reservations)
Research and information gathering (product research news health and religious information searches)
Email and search
Active engagement with social media(visit SNS create SNS profile create blogs)
More advanced online entertainment (download videos music and podcasts)
More advanced communication and passive social media use (instant messaging visit SNS read blogs)
From State of the Internet 2009 Pew Internet Project Findings and Implications for Libraries
The vast majority of online adults from all generations uses email and search engines
While there are always exceptions older generations typically do not engage with the internet past e-commerce
The majority of teens and Gen Y use SNS but fewer maintain blogs Online adults older than Gen X are less likely to use SNS

We are all struggling with these important questions How do we reach consensus and act in the best interest of children13
41
Are we being short sighted
42
Why are we not talking more about authentic student engagement
43
What are the consequences of such stress and pressure
Education Policy
Context
44
We also need to think about the impact of educational policy
This affects independent schools I read an article recently about how some parents are dissatisfied about current public schools and are opting for private schools I also think that independent schools can serve as models for how any type of school can get education right
US Department of Education
bull Common Core Standards
bull New Assessments
bull Personalized Learning

bull Increased broadband connectivity
45
Here are a few themes addressed by the current administration
ldquoThe Highly Connected Teacherrdquo
The National Educational Technology Plan
46
Highly connected teachers are connected to data to resources and to each other
Connected Educator Month
47
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

49
Students and Adults
bull Content consumers
bull Content Creators
bull Content Evaluators
bull Connected and Networked
50
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

Teachers and Students
bull Adults have different learning styles How are we taking this into account in terms of professional development and human capital
bull Baby Boomers
bull Gen Xers
bull Gen Yers
bull Kids have had different levels of exposure to technology The period of time at which our schools have been wired is fairly short
54
Basic online entertainment (online videos playing games)
E-commerce (online shopping banking and travel reservations)
Research and information gathering (product research news health and religious information searches)
Email and search
Active engagement with social media(visit SNS create SNS profile create blogs)
More advanced online entertainment (download videos music and podcasts)
More advanced communication and passive social media use (instant messaging visit SNS read blogs)
From State of the Internet 2009 Pew Internet Project Findings and Implications for Libraries
The vast majority of online adults from all generations uses email and search engines
While there are always exceptions older generations typically do not engage with the internet past e-commerce
The majority of teens and Gen Y use SNS but fewer maintain blogs Online adults older than Gen X are less likely to use SNS

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
88
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
89
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

We are all struggling with these important questions How do we reach consensus and act in the best interest of children13
41
Are we being short sighted
42
Why are we not talking more about authentic student engagement
43
What are the consequences of such stress and pressure
Education Policy
Context
44
We also need to think about the impact of educational policy
This affects independent schools I read an article recently about how some parents are dissatisfied about current public schools and are opting for private schools I also think that independent schools can serve as models for how any type of school can get education right

Here are a few themes addressed by the current administration
ldquoThe Highly Connected Teacherrdquo
The National Educational Technology Plan
46
Highly connected teachers are connected to data to resources and to each other
Connected Educator Month
47
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
48
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
Technological Context
49
Students and Adults
bull Content consumers
bull Content Creators
bull Content Evaluators
bull Connected and Networked
50
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

bull Adults have different learning styles How are we taking this into account in terms of professional development and human capital
bull Baby Boomers
bull Gen Xers
bull Gen Yers
bull Kids have had different levels of exposure to technology The period of time at which our schools have been wired is fairly short
54
Basic online entertainment (online videos playing games)
E-commerce (online shopping banking and travel reservations)
Research and information gathering (product research news health and religious information searches)
Email and search
Active engagement with social media(visit SNS create SNS profile create blogs)
More advanced online entertainment (download videos music and podcasts)
More advanced communication and passive social media use (instant messaging visit SNS read blogs)
From State of the Internet 2009 Pew Internet Project Findings and Implications for Libraries
The vast majority of online adults from all generations uses email and search engines
While there are always exceptions older generations typically do not engage with the internet past e-commerce
The majority of teens and Gen Y use SNS but fewer maintain blogs Online adults older than Gen X are less likely to use SNS

41
Are we being short sighted
42
Why are we not talking more about authentic student engagement
43
What are the consequences of such stress and pressure
Education Policy
Context
44
We also need to think about the impact of educational policy
This affects independent schools I read an article recently about how some parents are dissatisfied about current public schools and are opting for private schools I also think that independent schools can serve as models for how any type of school can get education right

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

Basic online entertainment (online videos playing games)
E-commerce (online shopping banking and travel reservations)
Research and information gathering (product research news health and religious information searches)
Email and search
Active engagement with social media(visit SNS create SNS profile create blogs)
More advanced online entertainment (download videos music and podcasts)
More advanced communication and passive social media use (instant messaging visit SNS read blogs)
From State of the Internet 2009 Pew Internet Project Findings and Implications for Libraries
The vast majority of online adults from all generations uses email and search engines
While there are always exceptions older generations typically do not engage with the internet past e-commerce
The majority of teens and Gen Y use SNS but fewer maintain blogs Online adults older than Gen X are less likely to use SNS

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
88
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
89
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
88
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
89
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

40
We are all struggling with these important questions How do we reach consensus and act in the best interest of children13
41
Are we being short sighted
42
Why are we not talking more about authentic student engagement
43
What are the consequences of such stress and pressure
Education Policy
Context
44
We also need to think about the impact of educational policy
This affects independent schools I read an article recently about how some parents are dissatisfied about current public schools and are opting for private schools I also think that independent schools can serve as models for how any type of school can get education right
US Department of Education
bull Common Core Standards
bull New Assessments
bull Personalized Learning
bull Digital Textbooks
bull More Accountability
bull Increased broadband connectivity
45
Here are a few themes addressed by the current administration
ldquoThe Highly Connected Teacherrdquo
The National Educational Technology Plan
46
Highly connected teachers are connected to data to resources and to each other
Connected Educator Month
47
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
48
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
Technological Context
49
Students and Adults
bull Content consumers
bull Content Creators
bull Content Evaluators
bull Connected and Networked
50
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

Teachers and Students
bull Adults have different learning styles How are we taking this into account in terms of professional development and human capital
bull Baby Boomers
bull Gen Xers
bull Gen Yers
bull Kids have had different levels of exposure to technology The period of time at which our schools have been wired is fairly short
54
Basic online entertainment (online videos playing games)
E-commerce (online shopping banking and travel reservations)
Research and information gathering (product research news health and religious information searches)
Email and search
Active engagement with social media(visit SNS create SNS profile create blogs)
More advanced online entertainment (download videos music and podcasts)
More advanced communication and passive social media use (instant messaging visit SNS read blogs)
From State of the Internet 2009 Pew Internet Project Findings and Implications for Libraries
The vast majority of online adults from all generations uses email and search engines
While there are always exceptions older generations typically do not engage with the internet past e-commerce
The majority of teens and Gen Y use SNS but fewer maintain blogs Online adults older than Gen X are less likely to use SNS

Implications for Schools
bull Need for strategic human capital planning
bull Need for increased targeted sustained personalized and thoughtful professional development
bull Need for long range planning for studentsrsquo use of technology
bull Requires schools to think of skills sets needed by students at various points in their academic careers while gauging the future of technology

40
We are all struggling with these important questions How do we reach consensus and act in the best interest of children13
41
Are we being short sighted
42
Why are we not talking more about authentic student engagement
43
What are the consequences of such stress and pressure
Education Policy
Context
44
We also need to think about the impact of educational policy
This affects independent schools I read an article recently about how some parents are dissatisfied about current public schools and are opting for private schools I also think that independent schools can serve as models for how any type of school can get education right
US Department of Education
bull Common Core Standards
bull New Assessments
bull Personalized Learning
bull Digital Textbooks
bull More Accountability
bull Increased broadband connectivity
45
Here are a few themes addressed by the current administration
ldquoThe Highly Connected Teacherrdquo
The National Educational Technology Plan
46
Highly connected teachers are connected to data to resources and to each other
Connected Educator Month
47
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
48
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
Technological Context
49
Students and Adults
bull Content consumers
bull Content Creators
bull Content Evaluators
bull Connected and Networked
50
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

Teachers and Students
bull Adults have different learning styles How are we taking this into account in terms of professional development and human capital
bull Baby Boomers
bull Gen Xers
bull Gen Yers
bull Kids have had different levels of exposure to technology The period of time at which our schools have been wired is fairly short
54
Basic online entertainment (online videos playing games)
E-commerce (online shopping banking and travel reservations)
Research and information gathering (product research news health and religious information searches)
Email and search
Active engagement with social media(visit SNS create SNS profile create blogs)
More advanced online entertainment (download videos music and podcasts)
More advanced communication and passive social media use (instant messaging visit SNS read blogs)
From State of the Internet 2009 Pew Internet Project Findings and Implications for Libraries
The vast majority of online adults from all generations uses email and search engines
While there are always exceptions older generations typically do not engage with the internet past e-commerce
The majority of teens and Gen Y use SNS but fewer maintain blogs Online adults older than Gen X are less likely to use SNS

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
88
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
89
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
88
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
89
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

41
Are we being short sighted
42
Why are we not talking more about authentic student engagement
43
What are the consequences of such stress and pressure
Education Policy
Context
44
We also need to think about the impact of educational policy
This affects independent schools I read an article recently about how some parents are dissatisfied about current public schools and are opting for private schools I also think that independent schools can serve as models for how any type of school can get education right
US Department of Education
bull Common Core Standards
bull New Assessments
bull Personalized Learning
bull Digital Textbooks
bull More Accountability
bull Increased broadband connectivity
45
Here are a few themes addressed by the current administration
ldquoThe Highly Connected Teacherrdquo
The National Educational Technology Plan
46
Highly connected teachers are connected to data to resources and to each other
Connected Educator Month
47
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
48
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
Technological Context
49
Students and Adults
bull Content consumers
bull Content Creators
bull Content Evaluators
bull Connected and Networked
50
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

Teachers and Students
bull Adults have different learning styles How are we taking this into account in terms of professional development and human capital
bull Baby Boomers
bull Gen Xers
bull Gen Yers
bull Kids have had different levels of exposure to technology The period of time at which our schools have been wired is fairly short
54
Basic online entertainment (online videos playing games)
E-commerce (online shopping banking and travel reservations)
Research and information gathering (product research news health and religious information searches)
Email and search
Active engagement with social media(visit SNS create SNS profile create blogs)
More advanced online entertainment (download videos music and podcasts)
More advanced communication and passive social media use (instant messaging visit SNS read blogs)
From State of the Internet 2009 Pew Internet Project Findings and Implications for Libraries
The vast majority of online adults from all generations uses email and search engines
While there are always exceptions older generations typically do not engage with the internet past e-commerce
The majority of teens and Gen Y use SNS but fewer maintain blogs Online adults older than Gen X are less likely to use SNS

bull Common Core Standards
bull New Assessments
bull Personalized Learning
bull Digital Textbooks
bull More Accountability
bull Increased broadband connectivity
45
Here are a few themes addressed by the current administration
ldquoThe Highly Connected Teacherrdquo
The National Educational Technology Plan
46
Highly connected teachers are connected to data to resources and to each other
Connected Educator Month
47
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
48
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
Technological Context
49
Students and Adults
bull Content consumers
bull Content Creators
bull Content Evaluators
bull Connected and Networked
50
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

53
Teachers and Students
bull Adults have different learning styles How are we taking this into account in terms of professional development and human capital
bull Baby Boomers
bull Gen Xers
bull Gen Yers
bull Kids have had different levels of exposure to technology The period of time at which our schools have been wired is fairly short
54
Basic online entertainment (online videos playing games)
E-commerce (online shopping banking and travel reservations)
Research and information gathering (product research news health and religious information searches)
Email and search
Active engagement with social media(visit SNS create SNS profile create blogs)
More advanced online entertainment (download videos music and podcasts)
More advanced communication and passive social media use (instant messaging visit SNS read blogs)
From State of the Internet 2009 Pew Internet Project Findings and Implications for Libraries
The vast majority of online adults from all generations uses email and search engines
While there are always exceptions older generations typically do not engage with the internet past e-commerce
The majority of teens and Gen Y use SNS but fewer maintain blogs Online adults older than Gen X are less likely to use SNS

88
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
89
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

40
We are all struggling with these important questions How do we reach consensus and act in the best interest of children13
41
Are we being short sighted
42
Why are we not talking more about authentic student engagement
43
What are the consequences of such stress and pressure
Education Policy
Context
44
We also need to think about the impact of educational policy
This affects independent schools I read an article recently about how some parents are dissatisfied about current public schools and are opting for private schools I also think that independent schools can serve as models for how any type of school can get education right
US Department of Education
bull Common Core Standards
bull New Assessments
bull Personalized Learning
bull Digital Textbooks
bull More Accountability
bull Increased broadband connectivity
45
Here are a few themes addressed by the current administration
ldquoThe Highly Connected Teacherrdquo
The National Educational Technology Plan
46
Highly connected teachers are connected to data to resources and to each other
Connected Educator Month
47
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
48
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
Technological Context
49
Students and Adults
bull Content consumers
bull Content Creators
bull Content Evaluators
bull Connected and Networked
50
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

Teachers and Students
bull Adults have different learning styles How are we taking this into account in terms of professional development and human capital
bull Baby Boomers
bull Gen Xers
bull Gen Yers
bull Kids have had different levels of exposure to technology The period of time at which our schools have been wired is fairly short
54
Basic online entertainment (online videos playing games)
E-commerce (online shopping banking and travel reservations)
Research and information gathering (product research news health and religious information searches)
Email and search
Active engagement with social media(visit SNS create SNS profile create blogs)
More advanced online entertainment (download videos music and podcasts)
More advanced communication and passive social media use (instant messaging visit SNS read blogs)
From State of the Internet 2009 Pew Internet Project Findings and Implications for Libraries
The vast majority of online adults from all generations uses email and search engines
While there are always exceptions older generations typically do not engage with the internet past e-commerce
The majority of teens and Gen Y use SNS but fewer maintain blogs Online adults older than Gen X are less likely to use SNS

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
88
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
89
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
88
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
89
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

Why are we not talking more about authentic student engagement
43
What are the consequences of such stress and pressure
Education Policy
Context
44
We also need to think about the impact of educational policy
This affects independent schools I read an article recently about how some parents are dissatisfied about current public schools and are opting for private schools I also think that independent schools can serve as models for how any type of school can get education right
US Department of Education
bull Common Core Standards
bull New Assessments
bull Personalized Learning
bull Digital Textbooks
bull More Accountability
bull Increased broadband connectivity
45
Here are a few themes addressed by the current administration
ldquoThe Highly Connected Teacherrdquo
The National Educational Technology Plan
46
Highly connected teachers are connected to data to resources and to each other
Connected Educator Month
47
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
48
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
Technological Context
49
Students and Adults
bull Content consumers
bull Content Creators
bull Content Evaluators
bull Connected and Networked
50
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

53
Teachers and Students
bull Adults have different learning styles How are we taking this into account in terms of professional development and human capital
bull Baby Boomers
bull Gen Xers
bull Gen Yers
bull Kids have had different levels of exposure to technology The period of time at which our schools have been wired is fairly short
54
Basic online entertainment (online videos playing games)
E-commerce (online shopping banking and travel reservations)
Research and information gathering (product research news health and religious information searches)
Email and search
Active engagement with social media(visit SNS create SNS profile create blogs)
More advanced online entertainment (download videos music and podcasts)
More advanced communication and passive social media use (instant messaging visit SNS read blogs)
From State of the Internet 2009 Pew Internet Project Findings and Implications for Libraries
The vast majority of online adults from all generations uses email and search engines
While there are always exceptions older generations typically do not engage with the internet past e-commerce
The majority of teens and Gen Y use SNS but fewer maintain blogs Online adults older than Gen X are less likely to use SNS

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
88
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
89
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

Education Policy
Context
44
We also need to think about the impact of educational policy
This affects independent schools I read an article recently about how some parents are dissatisfied about current public schools and are opting for private schools I also think that independent schools can serve as models for how any type of school can get education right
US Department of Education
bull Common Core Standards
bull New Assessments
bull Personalized Learning
bull Digital Textbooks
bull More Accountability
bull Increased broadband connectivity
45
Here are a few themes addressed by the current administration
ldquoThe Highly Connected Teacherrdquo
The National Educational Technology Plan
46
Highly connected teachers are connected to data to resources and to each other
Connected Educator Month
47
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
48
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
Technological Context
49
Students and Adults
bull Content consumers
bull Content Creators
bull Content Evaluators
bull Connected and Networked
50
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

ManagingGenerational Diversity
53
Teachers and Students
bull Adults have different learning styles How are we taking this into account in terms of professional development and human capital
bull Baby Boomers
bull Gen Xers
bull Gen Yers
bull Kids have had different levels of exposure to technology The period of time at which our schools have been wired is fairly short
54
Basic online entertainment (online videos playing games)
E-commerce (online shopping banking and travel reservations)
Research and information gathering (product research news health and religious information searches)
Email and search
Active engagement with social media(visit SNS create SNS profile create blogs)
More advanced online entertainment (download videos music and podcasts)
More advanced communication and passive social media use (instant messaging visit SNS read blogs)
From State of the Internet 2009 Pew Internet Project Findings and Implications for Libraries
The vast majority of online adults from all generations uses email and search engines
While there are always exceptions older generations typically do not engage with the internet past e-commerce
The majority of teens and Gen Y use SNS but fewer maintain blogs Online adults older than Gen X are less likely to use SNS

Implications for Schools
bull Need for strategic human capital planning
bull Need for increased targeted sustained personalized and thoughtful professional development
bull Need for long range planning for studentsrsquo use of technology
bull Requires schools to think of skills sets needed by students at various points in their academic careers while gauging the future of technology

While there are always exceptions older generations typically do not engage with the internet past e-commerce
The majority of teens and Gen Y use SNS but fewer maintain blogs Online adults older than Gen X are less likely to use SNS

Email and search
Active engagement with social media(visit SNS create SNS profile create blogs)
More advanced online entertainment (download videos music and podcasts)
More advanced communication and passive social media use (instant messaging visit SNS read blogs)
From State of the Internet 2009 Pew Internet Project Findings and Implications for Libraries
The vast majority of online adults from all generations uses email and search engines
While there are always exceptions older generations typically do not engage with the internet past e-commerce
The majority of teens and Gen Y use SNS but fewer maintain blogs Online adults older than Gen X are less likely to use SNS

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
88
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
89
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 vast majority of online adults from all generations uses email and search engines
While there are always exceptions older generations typically do not engage with the internet past e-commerce
The majority of teens and Gen Y use SNS but fewer maintain blogs Online adults older than Gen X are less likely to use SNS

Basic online entertainment (online videos playing games)
E-commerce (online shopping banking and travel reservations)
Research and information gathering (product research news health and religious information searches)
Email and search
Active engagement with social media(visit SNS create SNS profile create blogs)
More advanced online entertainment (download videos music and podcasts)
More advanced communication and passive social media use (instant messaging visit SNS read blogs)
From State of the Internet 2009 Pew Internet Project Findings and Implications for Libraries
The vast majority of online adults from all generations uses email and search engines
While there are always exceptions older generations typically do not engage with the internet past e-commerce
The majority of teens and Gen Y use SNS but fewer maintain blogs Online adults older than Gen X are less likely to use SNS

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
88
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
89
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
