2. What is it we expect from school?
 Should get accepted to
…
 Prepare for ‘Life’
 Students not
overstressed
 Earn a decent living
 Find out what talent there
is

3. Just a few questions …
 I use ICT tools in my classes.
 I use ICT tools for preparing for classes.
 I would need more tools, hardware etc. to use ICT.
 Students know a lot more about computers.
 ICT is not really useful in what I’m teaching.
 School in Finland is fun for students.
 I use ICT as an add-on in my classes.
 I feel I am a 21st century teacher!! 

4. What do the visionaries say?
 We need a vision! 
 Let’s see how a guru
talks about this!
- Linearity (conveyor belt)
- Success?
- Organic development
- Revolution NOT Evolution

5. 21st century skills
 NOT evolution, revolution
(courage to change)
 Self-regulation, collaboration,
knowledge-building, real-life
problems, ICT
 Individual learning paths
 NOT one size fits all, different
contexts w/ different solutions
 Self-regulation, new forms of
assessment
 Learner autonomy(flipped
classroom)
 gamification

6. Step-by-step 21st century teaching
 Virtual classroom
 Extended classroom
 Individual learning paths
 Continuous assessment
 ICT integral to the
process
 Gamification
 Differentiated instruction

7. In practice? What about ICT?
 Differentiated instruction:
Skydrive
 Feedback: Virtual
classrooms, OneNote
 Lesson planning: 21st
century skills
 Collaboration: Google
Docs, Ning, Titanpad, etc.
 Assessment: gamification

8. Gamification – (mis)conceptions
 Gaming in the lesson?
 It’s only for serious
gamers
 You need computers
24/7!
 The whole lesson is but a
great game!
 Instant intrinsic motivation

9. That is to say…
 Gamification – but not as
magic
 ICT attitudes vs. practice
 ICT without ICT
 Not just a bit different …
it’s a whole new world
 Different solutions for
different contexts.

10. All’s well that ends well … well
Thank you for bearing with
me!
