We're about to go through the biggest change in education
in centuries,maybe ever

How well are schools preparing students for
this world?
Not well.
Agreement on the problem, not on the
solution.

Education in 2020 - Wish List
•Individualization, Increased Flexibility, and Equity
– Time, duration, space / what is studied / deep learning / local, less centralized control / student directed learning
•Change in the role of the Teacher– Lead learner, model thinking / deep-learning
coach / partners in decision-making / respected and well-paid
•Networked Learning– Connectivism / global collaboration / diversity
and social awareness / students as mentors / community and real-life integration
•Change Outcomes– Success = learning how to learn / engagement
trumps content / move from transcript to portfolio
The educational technologist is
the key to keeping schools relevant
An action list for super-heroes
to save education:
1. Start with yourself

2. Focus first on teachers, staff, administrators,
and parents

Pet Peeve
3. Encourage, at all levels, moving from
an “obedience” to an “engagement” culture
4. Make sure the tech serves the learning...
...then embed and make ubiquitous.
5. Recognize the organic & inevitable
nature of change
