“We need to show reverence for the past, but not live in it” — Deborah Needleman

26-11-2009

“We grow up interacting – through computers and through our cell phones – and that’s how we learn. – A student

“Why do we have to adapt to the past? Why shouldn’t we be taught to in different ways!” – A student

26-11-2009

“Most of us prefer to walk backwards into the future…

A New Metaphor

Our students are

ROCKETS!

26-11-2009

Our students are ROCKETS! • They go at high speed • They are headed to places unknown • They are highly volatile • They can’t be controlled precisely • They need good programming, the right fuel and a good payload • They may require mid-course corrections

And that makes today’s educators

ROCKET SCIENTISTS! (who knew!)

Things our brains do LESS well

• We make decisions based on only a portion of the available data. • We make assumptions, often inaccurate, about the thoughts or intentions of others. • We depend on educated guessing and verification (the traditional scientific method) to find new answers. answers • We are limited in our ability to predict the future and construct what-if scenarios. • We cannot deal well with complexity beyond a certain point. • We cannot see, hear, touch, feel, or smell beyond the range g of our senses. • We find it difficult to hold multiple perspectives simultaneously. • We have difficulty separating emotional responses from rational conclusions. • We forget.

“Am I using the appropriate i t /b bestt / latest nouns for the verbs (skills) I am teaching?”

New Perspective #5

Students Learning On Their Own

ÂŠ 2009 Marc Prensky

26-11-2009

Our kids have discovered (outside of school, on their own) that they

CAN TEACH THEMSELVES! (but often need guidance)

Everything a kid needs to teach him or her self

26-11-2009

Is already on the web…

…and getting better daily

26-11-2009

All that’s th t’ missing i i iis th the

MOTIVATION to use it.

“If a learner is motivated, there’s no stopping him ([or her])” – Will Wright

26-11-2009

Our kids’ education is splitting quickly into

School “School”

“After School”

(Credentials)

(21st century learning)

Legacy Stuff – Stuff that is Irrelevant

Future Learning – Stuff they Know they Need

PUSHED ON KIDS = Boring

26-11-2009

Do your nightmares ever come true?

Prensky — 2007

“Can “school” compete with “after-school”? It had better learn to,, because if the kids have to be trapped (by law) in darkness, doing nothing they consider worthwhile, our schools will become only jails,

and sooner or later the kids will rebel and the riots will begin.”

Seeing No Progress, Some Schools Drop Laptops May 4, 2007

LIVERPOOL,, N.Y. — The students at Liverpool p High g have used their school-issued laptops p p to exchange answers on tests, download pornography and hack into local businesses. When the school tightened its network security, a 10th grader not only found a way around it but also posted step-by-step instructions on the Web for others to follow (which they did). … So the Liverpool Central School District, just outside Syracuse, has decided to phase out laptops starting this fall, joining a handful of other schools around the country that adopted one-to-one computing programs and are now abandoning them as educationally empty — and worse.
