A Pedagogical Shift
• New models of teaching and learning are emerging
• Rigorous content + 21st century themes
• “Sage on the stage” to “guide on the side”
• New literacies need to be taught strategically
• Examples:
• developing a search mentality
• Student personal learning networks (PLNs)
• Standards and accountability still are important;
assessments need revision
• Going global is within reach using current technologies

38Thursday, November 3, 2011
Teachers and Students
• Adults have different learning styles. How
are we taking this into account in terms of
professional development and human capital?
• Baby Boomers
• Gen Xers
• Gen Yers
• Kids have had different levels of exposure to
technology. The period of time at which our
schools have been wired is fairly short.

Mindset List
40Thursday, November 3, 2011
Basic online entertainment
(online videos, playing games)
E-commerce
(online shopping, banking, and travel reservations)
Research and information gathering
(product research, news, health and religious information searches)
Email and search
Active engagement
with social media
(visit SNS, create SNS profile,
create blogs)
More advanced online
entertainment
(download videos, music and
podcasts)
More advanced communication and
passive social media use
(instant messaging, visit SNS, read blogs)
From: State of the
Internet 2009: Pew
Internet Project
Findings and
Implications for
Libraries
The vast majority of
online adults from all
generations uses email
and search engines.
While there are always
exceptions, older generations
typically do not engage with the
internet past e-commerce.
The majority of teens and Gen
Y use SNS, but fewer maintain
blogs. Online adults older than
Gen X are less likely to use
SNS.

Project Tomorrow
Recommendations
• Un-tether learning and leverage mobile devices to extend
learning beyond the school day and meet all learners in their
own world
• Create new interactive, participatory learning spaces using
tools such as online classes, gaming and simulations, online
tutors, and virtual reality environments
• Incorporate Web 2.0 tools into daily instruction especially
those that develop collaborative or social-based learning and
provide unique opportunities for students to be content
developers
• Expand digital resources in the classroom to add context and
relevancy to learning experiences through new media tools
• Get beyond the classroom walls and make learning truly
experiential such as using high tech science instrumentation
and creating podcasts with content experts

Class of 2015 – your current incoming freshman
4th grade
How digitally “native” are these students?
What are their expectations for learning?
44Thursday, November 3, 2011
Implications for Schools
• Need for strategic human capital planning
• Need for increased targeted, sustained,
personalized and thoughtful professional
development
• Need for long range planning for students’
use of technology. Requires schools to think
of skills sets needed by students at various
points in their academic careers while gauging
the future of technology.

So what?
• Networked learning: You must be open to at least letting
your kids drive the technology use in your classrooms. Be
willing to engage them in the ways that they learn best.
• Generational diversity: Change is not going to happen
without schools working as teams to examine at
longitudinal goals.
• 21st century skills: The art of teaching comes through via
the weaving of 21st century themes into core content. You
need to provide guidance and be thoughtful when designing
classroom activities.
• Learning environments: Just as we’ve looked at the whole
child, we need to start emphasizing the whole learning
environment. Personalized learning for both students and
teachers is important.

Be willing to engage them in the ways that they learn best. • Generational diversity: Change is not going to happen without schools working as teams to examine at longitudinal goals. • 21st century skills: The art of teaching comes through via the weaving of 21st century themes into core content. You need to provide guidance and be thoughtful when designing classroom activities. • Learning environments: Just as we’ve looked at the whole child, we need to start emphasizing the whole learning environment. Personalized learning for both students and teachers is important. 50Thursday, November 3, 2011
