Science Leadership Academy, small public high school in Philadelphia, 1:1 laptop school. We work best/learn best when it matters to us. Kids may not know what matters to them yet. There are some tenents of what school 2.0 should be: caring institutions, grammars matters, we teach kids not subjects, student centred (it’s not about us), Inquiry driven: what are the questions we can ask together? They need to be authentic questions, passionate and it has to matter, Metacognative -we need to think about thinking, technology infused - ubiquitous, necessary and invisible, understanding driven and Project based.
What is the road map and how do we get there - pedagodgy is everything, progressive teaching using 21st century tools, (Read John Dewy) technology Overload and how to prevent it,what’s good is better tan what’s new!!! The best tool is the one we all agree to use together! Technology needs to do 5 things in the classroom research, collaborate, create, network and present. Tools don’t teach but the do change the way that we teach. Can technology be the tail that waves the pedagodical dog? What are you goals what tools get you there? Teachers don’t ask I wnat to do a blog project? - The need to ask what they want to do and and what tools shoulds should I use.
Understanding by Design by Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe influenced strongly the schools curriculum design. Every teacher uses UBD, the teachers use project based learning as the ultimate form of assessment. Transperant learning!!
