  All the *buzz* words become *authentic* when education is modeled on LEARNING rather than TEACHING. In the future, I see *student-centered* environments in which learners pursue their *passion-based* areas of interest by *constructing* knowledge needed to

      (ironic huh).

    • Powerful teaching happens when teachers find ways to reach our kids - and
      technology makes that more possible than not.

    • Our systems have been static for decades, so I’m not sure about the date they
      are seeing as the beginning of the ‘future’

  I would be interested to see how these courses are run, staff/student ratio and scheduling of this virtual school. Perhaps if we explore this format for high school students, we might have greater student engagement??

  A great blog post from Will Richardson about his thoughts of where schools are going after his trip to Microsoft's Future of Schools conference.

  • I think I’m finally getting to the root of my continued frustration with my kids’ education which is the system’s inability to help them find and nurture the areas they truly have passion for. It would be nice if the institution were the place that connected my kids to the experts they desired and needed to support their learning, wouldn’t it?
  • I found myself amazed at how deeply woven the reasons why not are ingrained in our conversations. At one conversation, someone said that many of her teachers didn’t feel like they needed to teach with technology at all since their students were doing just fine passing the tests without it. And I wanted to scream (but instead politely said) ‘then we gotta change the assessments.” Nothing in these conversations changed my view that to really change what we do in schools we have to first change our understanding of what it means to teach in this moment. That doesn’t mean than we throw out all of the good pedagogy that we’ve developed over the years and make everything about technology. But it does mean, I think, that technology has to be a part of the way we do our learning business these days.
