Robin Hawley-Brillante"Final Notes
I've noticed a trend in some of the keynote talks for our virtual conferences: presenters who are not using slides at all. I remember noticing a similar shift some years ago from slides with lots of content to more visually-oriented presentations, usually with a large image and a key word or two on each slide. My sense of this progression is that it reflects keynote speakers often telling a story more than presenting facts and figures. Perhaps with an increasing number of opportunities to present because of online venues, they are increasingly comfortable focusing on the story they are telling--and where slides become unnaturally restrictive or feel too deliberate.
So very much of learning, versus memorization, is tied up with story. As we learn, we seek to create a story that explains the information we see before us. Our curiosity drives us to gather information, to understand it, and to place it into context. I read or see something that interests me, it drives me to want to know more, and as I gather additional information and understanding, a story takes shape that allows me to place the new information into the context of my thinking, or often stretches my thinking in such a way as to reshape previous ideas or beliefs. The mental framework that I ultimately build around this new knowledge is the result of a story-building process.
I think we naturally recognize the importance of this process. With my new story or framework, I can start to tell you what I have learned, but I know that you haven't had the experiences or been exposed to the information that I have, and so I start to tell you in a way that I think will spark your curiosity. You ask me questions, I tell you more. You go through a similar process and construct your own story--which will almost certainly be slightly, if not significantly, different than mine.
The danger in teaching is to assume that the story we have constructed must be memorized by someone else. This is in part because we don't do a good job of distinguishing between learning that is memorization and learning that is comprehension and driven by internal curiosity. Ours is an era of computer technology, with systematic sequencing of tasks, and with accumulating data which is stored in "memory;" what a different concept of learning that imagery produces for us than when most learning was from manual tasks that were learned through the tutoring of others.
The fallacy of linearity is to believe that the story we actively constructed of cause, effect, and influence when trying to understand something will have an equal benefit to another person (a student) when our conclusions are memorized. It's easy to forget that we explain linearly, but we don't learn linearly. Students who are good at memorizing will do well when we ask this of them, but they are not the ones who will discover the most important knowledge. I remember talking at a conference held at Google, and saying that our system of education leaves all but the brightest feeling that they are not good learners. Quickly after I finished some student interns at Google came up to me and said, "Even though we were seen as the brightest ones on our schools, because we got there knowing how to game the system, we actually also left school not actually feeling confident as learners." Wow.
As much as I love to read the great reports that come out about learning, schools, and educational technology, I often think we make mirror this fallacy of linearity with teachers. For those who got together, did the research, asked the interesting questions, and then worked together to understand something about students and learning, I'm sure that was a great experience. However, when you give the results to educators and ask them to implement, but don't involve them in the process themselves of looking at the data, asking their own questions, and then building their own understandings and plans (you just want them to implement your conclusions), then you're treating them like robots and not like people. This is why I think it's so important to build learning communities and plans as locally as possible, and why I think it's so important to involve stakeholder groups in doing so. And this is why I think the learning revolution will come from using the incredible technologies of the Internet to connect and share and build together--and not from large-scale data collection, tracking, and system-building.
See you online!

In “developed” societies, we are so accustomed to centralized control over learning that it has become functionally invisible to us, and most people accept it as natural, inevitable, and consistent with the principles of freedom and democracy. We assume that this central authority, because it is associated with something that seems like an unequivocal good – “education”
