8. What do we need to unlearn? Example: * I need to unlearn that classrooms are physical spaces. * I need to unlearn that learning is an event with a start and stop time to a lesson.

15. Time Travel Lewis Perelman, author of School's Out (1992). Perelman argues that schools are out of sync with technological change:...the technological gap between the school environment and the "real world" is growing so wide, so fast that the classroom experience is on the way to becoming not merely unproductive but increasingly irrelevant to normal human existence (p.215). Seymour Papert (1993) In the wake of the startling growth of science and technology in our recent past, some areas of human activity have undergone megachange.

30. Increased technology use does not lead to student learning. Rather, effectiveness of technology use depended on teaching approaches used in conjunction with the technology. How you integrate matters- not just the technology alone. It needs to be about the learning, not the technology. And you need to choose the right tool for the task. As long as we see content, technology and pedagogy as separate- technology will always be just an add on. Findings

31. See yourself as a curriculum designer– owners of the curriculum you teach. Honor creativity (yours first, then the student’s) Repurpose the technology! Go beyond simple “use” and “integration” to innovation! Teacher as Designer

33. It is never just about content. Learners are trying to get better at something. It is never just routine. It requires thinking with what you know and pushing further. It is never just problem solving. It also involves problem finding. It’s not just about right answers. It involves explanation and justification. It is not emotionally flat. It involves curiosity, discovery, creativity, and community. It’s not in a vacuum. It involves methods, purposes, and forms of one of more disciplines, situated in a social context.

37. What will be our legacy… Bertelsmann Foundation Report: The Impact of Media and Technology in Schools –2 Groups –Content Area: Civil War –One Group taught using Sage on the Stage methodology –One Group taught using innovative applications of technology and project-based instructional models End of the Study, both groups given identical teacher-constructed tests of their knowledge of the Civil War. Question: Which group did better?

38. Answer… No significant test differences were found

39.

41. Real Question is this: Are we willing to change- to risk change- to meet the needs of the precious folks we serve? Can you accept that Change (with a “big” C) is sometimes a messy process and that learning new things together is going to require some tolerance for ambiguity.
