Resistance to ChangeThe pleasure to continue is greater than the change, they may:
• lack the desire of change• Lack the discipline to change• lack the belief that they can change• Lack the awareness for the need to change
Following excuse are the most common for not changing negative habits:
• I have always done it that way• I have never done it that way• That is not my job• I don’t think it will make any difference• I am too busy
A group of scientists placed 5 monkeys in a cage and in the middle,
a ladder with bananas on the top
Every time a monkey went up the ladder, the scientists soaked the rest of the monkeys with
cold water
After a while, every time a monkey went up the ladder, the others beat up the one on the
ladder
After some time, no monkey dare to go up the ladder regardless of the temptation
Scientists then decided to substitute one of the monkeys. The 1st thing this new monkey did was to go up the ladder. Immediately the
other monkeys beat him upAfter several beatings, the new member
learned not to climb the ladder even though never knew why
A 2nd monkey was substituted and the same occurred. The 1st monkey participated on the beating for the 2nd monkey.
A 3rd monkey was changed and the same was repeated (beating). The 4th was substituted and the beating was repeated
and finally the 5th monkey was replaced
What was left was a group of 5 monkeys that even though never received a cold shower,
continued to beat up any monkey who attempted to climb the ladder
If it was possible to ask the monkeys why they would beat up all those who attempted to go up the ladder…..
I bet you the answer would be….
“I don’t know – that’s how things are done around here”
Does it sounds familiar?
Why we continue to do what we are doing if there is a different way out there
“When I am holding on to the past, I don’t have my hands free to reach the future”
• They are a set of assumptions, beliefs, philosophies, and “ways of doing things”
• They are habits and processes
• And until they change, we usually do not notice them

Paradigm shifts are changes from one way of thinking to another. It is a change in perspective
Think of a Paradigm shift as a change from one way of thinking to another. It's a revolution, a transformation, a sort of metamorphosis. It just does not happen, but rather it is driven by agents of change
P a r a d i g m S h i f t s
(Term first used by Thomas Kuhn in his influential book The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962)
Paradigm shifts happen everyday
New technology
New knowledge
New people
New circumstances
How and when do they happen
• Rapidly changing technology and capabilities
• Everything depends on connectivity
• Growing need to share information
• Doing more at the same or less cost
• Ensuring privacy and security for networked data
• Human services are increasingly consumer-driven

IT needs to help the students take advantage of these new tools and systems to educate
themselves
N O L I M I T SDigital technologies have opened up unimagined
opportunities for students and teachers
Webcast -after each field trip, students in the elementary section
create a webcast documenting what they have seen and learned
during their travels
Webcam in every classroom- to show parents and admin what really goes on- share best practices

cell phones are the future of classroom computers
Trinity Meadows Intermediate School in Keller, Texas:
a class of fifth graders have been using donated Verizon smart phones with specialized software to perform tasks including Internet research and using Microsoft Office programs Word and Excel
Cell Phones - replace computers - Most important tool for 21 century
many schools have banned
voice - short messaging services (SMS), graphics, user controlled operating systems, down-loadable, browsers,
camera functions (still and video), geo positioning, thumb key boards, plug-in screens, voice recognition, PC functions,
mobile commerce
The new WWW offering on cell phone or Personal Handheld Devices (Third generation- 3G)
whatever we want, whenever and wherever we want
4 G - data rates are expected to be 100 time faster
Cell Phones - replace computers - Most important tool for 21 century
United States - cell population penetration 82 percent
India - Mobile phone usage is rising faster than anywhere else in the world. Seven million customers added every month
China mobile phone penetration rate hits 52.5%
A U.N. report published today states that six in ten people (60%) of the world's population has a cell phone subscription. The driving growth trend is coming from poor, developing countries. This 60% figure is up from just under 15% in 2002
Two international schools in two different locations

Digital Tools are Like Extensions ofStudents’ Brains
Educate and evaluate a student with the tools
Challenge: How to develop a new generation of knowledgeable digital citizens who can operate in the
unregulated world
Technology can make THE GREATEST difference in the schools when all stakeholders agree about it purposes, use and importance in education
• IT leaders must have insight about ways in which the world is changing
• Should be aware of the new tools that are available for teaching (cutting-edge technologies)
• IT leaders must be the change-agents who help the teachers and staff help think beyond what is happening outside of the school environment
• They must articulate a clear vision of technology and curriculum integration
• Take advantage of the latest technologies and best practices

Traditional Role:It is only an efficiency tool
I T - L E A D E R S H I P(IT coordinator for a school district, New York)
Modern Role:IT should be involved in school operations and improvements as
well as in defining business strategy
IT and teachers must lobby to get tools to enhance the knowledge of students into their classroom and libraries
