Disclaimer:(is is

“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.

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

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






The outcomes have changed.






Now, our personal histories around

education are increasingly problematic.

projects they love doing.’”

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...
