starting point
“90% or more of PMHS students have published online and are living at least a part of their lives digitally”
“take the skills and methods they select as most relevant to them, and use them to add relevance to their learning”

what i learned
• Ask questions that they can’t Google
• Fast track HSC content - spend less time learning skills and allow more time to learn core syllabus theory.
• Cover deeper content faster with increased literacy and creativity
• Removing ‘boring tasks’ removes classroom behavior problems like magic!
what i learned
• Your peers are probably not in your school. Colleagues are suspicious of change - maybe I can hold out to retirement the old way!
• students are the best advocates for change
• the system and curriculum is not designed for Web2.0, you have to change the methods of learning and assessment. Chalk and talk is ineffective. Discovery Learning engages students more effectively.
