Opening with a made in New Brunswick version of Karl Fisch’s “Did You Know“…

David’s son Martin’s is celebrating his birthday today…he had us all wish Martin a happy birthday…in both English and French…

The old story about education is that the old (current?) classroom was perfectly designed…for an industrial world

Types of leaders: Master leader; Creative Leader, Leader who can tell a Compelling New Story

We are spending too much time teaching kids how to use paper…we need to tech kids how to use light…digital information is fundamentally different…we need to prepare our kids for this new information…

We need to be paying a lot of experince to our kids…they will invent the future…

Idea # 1:  We are preparing our kids for a future we cannot clearly describe…

Idea # 2:  We are preparing kids for a rich information experience – a different kind of student that has a far richer experience that our classes provide…

Where do kids learn??  They learn through being connected, sharing…

What are the basic skills that we hope our kids will learn/know in this information landscape?

Idea # 3: Preparing Our Kids for a New Information Landscape

Ideas add together to start talk about Classrooms as Learning Engines 

• engage in conversations…
• students need to learn to teach themselves
• come to understand their information experience
• redefine literacy and integrate it

Not just about skills….it’s about habits…

Students need to develop a healthy learning lifestyle…
