28. What’s happening online? … in Coventry, England…Mary Bale, 45, found herself caught in the crosshairs of the reputation executor that is the web this week after a surveillance video of her placing a cat in a garbage bin went viral. Now, the Internet is replete with parodies, groups and spin-offs dedicated to bringing Bale down. According to The New York Times , Lola the cat was discovered unhappily yowling in a garbage bin outside the home of owners Stephanie and Daryll Mann. In hopes of discovering who had trashed kitty, the couple looked at security footage of the area, which showed an unidentified middle-aged woman petting the cat, and then dropping it in the trash. The couple posted the video online, naturally, in an attempt to find out who the woman was. Subsequently, Bale received death threats , and information like her address and her boss’s phone number were spread around the web. Although Bale was placed under police protection (due to the aforementioned death threats) she did issue an apology yesterday after Facebook was forced to take down a group titled “ Death to Mary Bale.”

43. Your Turn Define 21 st Century Learning and 21 st Century Teaching?

44. 21 st Century Learners Traditional schools involved teachers and textbooks delivering information to students, and students reflecting that information back. To better serve their future, today’s classrooms should facilitate teaching and learning as a conversation – two-way conversations between teachers and learners, conversations between learners and other learners, conversations among teachers, and new conversations between the classroom and the home and between the school and its community. - David Warlick Page 3

54. 21 st Century Learning ≠ Computers Pg. 59 “ Electronic classroom tools such as PowerPoint presentations, online videos, and high-tech presentation equipment were still tied to the same material in the same school environment. Certainly these tools made education more interesting and allowed for opportunities to present content in new and different ways, but they were still tied to static material presented in a static learning environment. Today’s learners need something more attuned to their daily lifestyles – connected, and often virtual. That’s where mobile learning comes into play.”

64. Competition time The Millennial Generation

71. Speak Up National Findings Click on the image to download the document Page 4 – Social-based learning – students want to leverage emerging communications and collaboration tools to create and personalize networks of experts to inform their education process. Un-tethered learning – students envision technology-enabled learning experiences that transcend the classroom walls and are not limited by resource constraints, traditional funding streams, geography, community assets or even teacher knowledge or skills. Digitally-rich learning – students see the use of relevancy-based digital tools, content and resources as a key to driving learning productivity, not just about engaging students in learning.

72. Speak Up National Findings Click on the image to download the document Page 16 – “Meeting students’ desires for socially-based, un-tethered, digitally rich learning experiences requires educators to address head on key infrastructure and funding challenges, policies around technology use and in particular, the use of students’ personal devices, and the ongoing need for new approaches for training teachers, both in-service and pre-service”

73. The Millennial Generation Page 21– “Rather than simply catching “digital ADD”, many of us are developing neural circuitry that is customized for rapid and incisive spurts of directed concentration. While the brains of today’s Digital Natives are wiring up for rapid-fire cyber searches, the natural circuits that control the more traditional learning methods are neglected and gradually diminished. The pathways for human interaction and communication weaken as customary one-on-one people skills atrophy”
