  You've just watched “Did You Know” or a keynote by David Warlick for the very first time. You feel your heart begin to race as panic sets in... you think: “My school is in no way prepared to help our students learn what they need for work and life in the this very different and constantly changing world... What should I do?!”

  a “technology purchasing frenzy” is simply NOT the correct response to the realization that our schools are not doing enough to prepare students for their futures. This is really about changing adult perspectives and adult behaviors

  • Expensive tech in the hands of educators who haven't made changes to their behaviors and instructional practice are no better than the good old chalk board, pencil, and paper.

      Change adult behaviors and practices first... Change the way you work together, the way you speak with each other... Change your vocabulary... Begin by redefining yourselves as learners rather than educators...
    • the most important thing is a change in behaviors and practices -- a change in pedagogy --

  • begin discussions on your campus about how to transform your school into a place
    where teachers see themselves first as LEARNERS who are invested in
    improving their instructional practice through reflection and inquiry,
    and where students are more globally connected in a way that enhances and
    supports their individual learning.
  • Commit to the belief that being “technophobic” or “technology illiterate” is no
    longer an option for 21st Century learners (and after you've redefined
    yourselves as learners, understand what that means for professional learning on
    your campus)... Be firm about this -- it should NOT be okay on
    your campus for ANYONE to say “I don't like technology” or “I'm just not very
    techie... can you do this for me?”

  • • change needed to happen yesterday...
    • Give your teachers time to “play” with Web 2.0 -- to explore
      the use of Web 2.0 (blogs, wikis, Twitter, etc.) for THEIR professional
      learning BEFORE they attempt to use the same tools in the classroom
      with students
    • reading and writing and connecting with other edublogging educators...
    • Campus leaders should model the professional learning use of Web 2.0
      tools through transparent blogging and wiki use with the faculty on a
      weekly basis
    • make system, process, and structural changes so that your school looks,
      feels, and functions less like a factory and more like a globally connected
      communications and learning center...
    • most important thing is a change in behaviors and practices -- a change
      in pedagogy --
    • provide training that is a model of effective instruction and learning
      practices... create cheerleaders who will coach other
      professional learners and promote continual learning
