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

~Margaret Wheatley“Willing to be Disturbed”

Educators should be

more confused than ever.

My biases:

(is is the m1t

disruptive moment ever in education.

But, this is also the

most amazing time to be a learner.

Schools are the

most important institutions

in our communities.

But, schools and educators need to be

“different” not “better.”

We can

no longer want for our kids

the same education that we ourselves had.

Generally, our understanding of the potentials of computing and online

connections to learn deeply is

dangerously inadequate.

A world marked by “ubiquitous computing, ubiquitous information, ubiquitous networks, at unlimited speed, about everything, everywhere, from anywhere, on all kinds of devices that make it ridiculously easy to connect, organize, share, collect, collaborate and publish.”

Information, knowledge and teachers are in

abundant supply and ubiquitous.

(e supply of knowledge and information and teachers is

expanding and changing

at a rate like never before.

We cannot predict the impacts of technological advances on the 5ture of

learning and work.

A wide range of

new skills and literacies will be required to navigate the 5ture.

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

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

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

This is Not the world “school” was built for.

The outcomes have changed.

Now, our personal histories around

education are increasingly problematic.

...Learning is globally networked.

...Learning is continual.

...Learning is create-ive and authentic.

“MIT wants to attract students that are ‘already solving problems and building, playing and creating, engaging in

projects they love doing.’”

...literacy changes

“The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn. ”

~Alvin TofflerAuthor

So...how are you changing?

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

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

What if professional development looked less like this...

...and more like this instead:

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