The Challenge?
Preparing a Digital Generation . . .
Building capacity for transformation
“It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent; it is the one that is most adaptable to change.”
Charles Darwin
What’s New?
What is different today in schooling and learning compared to a decade
ago?
What’s New? Globalization, multiculturalism, competitiveness
Different expectations and learner styles
A learning landscape that is increasingly digital
New tools and new structures
Implications of the continuing digital divide
Accountability and competition
What do we know?National Boundaries Don’t Matter:
• Expectations for Technology are Global
• A Shared Vision is Critical
• Knowledgeable Shared Leadership is Key
• Essential Conditions are Essential
• Skilled Teachers are Necessary
• Planning and Monitoring Must Inform and
Ensure Transformation
When organizations collaborate in education,
children win!
Digital learning environments enable more effective strategies … each
of which engages more students more deeply in
learning ...
Teacher directed, memory-focused instruction
Student-centered, performance-focused learning
Isolated work on invented exercises
Collaborative work on authentic, real-work projects
Factual, literal thinking for competence
Creative thinking for innovation and original solutions
Primary focus on school and local community
Expanded focus including digital global citizenship
Isolated assessment of learning
Integrated assessment for learning
Transforming Learning EnvironmentsTraditional Environments One-to-One Environments
Knowledge from limited, authoritative sources
Learner-constructed knowledge from multiple information sources and experiences
Opportunities Expand in Digital Learning Environments
Information & Expertise – From wide array of online sources
Learning Time – Expands to anytime students have access and connectivity
Learning Teams – Less restricted, more accessible, nurture global competence
Relevance – Authentic projects & problems that matter, real data, in a digital-age context & in digital-age work & learning environments
New-Century Literacies & New Skills – Learners employ new knowledge and competencies

• Students with tools, resources and strategies used by
contemporary professionals in the discipline
• Students learn and work collaboratively in teams for authentic
project-based, problem-based, and challenge-based learning
• Students learn through simulations and serious games
• Teachers model 21st Century work and 21st Century learning
• There is a culture of co-learning and personal relevance
• Assessment is for learning; enriched accountability
• Learning, teaching, and assessment are no longer isolated,
individual endeavors
Innovation at the heart of student learning …
