This will happen because the tools promote creativity, collaboration and communication and they dovetail with learning methods in which these skills play a part. For example, when students collaborate on a project and present what theyve learned, theyve honed their thinking and organizational skills. New tools enable that possibility. Classroom 2.0 enables learners to function at the highest levels of Blooms New Taxonomy evaluate and create more often.

The old way of doing things is presentation-driven; information is delivered and tested. This approach prepares students for jobs that require simply following directions and rote skills. The new way is collaborative, with information shared, discussed, refined with others, and understood deeply. It prepares students to become part of a nimble workforce that makes decisions and keeps learning as the workplace changes. What makes the difference is preparing students with 21st century skills using a flexible approach rather than teaching just what will be tested.21st Century Classroom -A Vision of Learning TodayWhat is the student supposed to learn from the assignment?

Traditionally:Content knowledge, memorizationImportant to remember information or how to do something

Now and in the Future:Instant access to information, multiple modes of demonstrating Important to know how to apply, analyze, evaluate and create new information

(2010s) These "modern" report assignments can be designed to achieve the same curriculum objectives as "traditional" assignments. HOW CAN YOU MAKE THIS HAPPEN?

18We need to balance and combine technology and pedagogy.InquiryPart of Constructivist approach to educationExperiences that lead to deeper understandingTeaches students to deal with change, question answers

19Constructivism - People generate knowledge and meaning through experience Student centred Teachers have to change focus; dont look to provide answers, develop questions that require students to work to develop complex answers

Youll experience this later today

Inquiry Sask. CurriculumStudents who are engaged in inquiry:construct deep knowledge and deep understanding rather than passively receiving itare directly involved and engaged in the discovery of new knowledgeencounter alternative perspectives and conflicting ideas that transform prior knowledge and experience into deep understandingstransfer new knowledge and skills to new circumstancestake ownership and responsibility for their ongoing learning and mastery of curriculum content and skills. (Adapted from Kuhlthau & Todd, 2008, p. 1)

The process is embedded in new Sk curriculua 20Inquiry

This chart indicates that the inquiry model is not linear. There may be as many ways of arriving at an answer as there are students working on the question. The teacher has the difficult but rewarding task of assisting students to find their way.A Vision of K-12 Students Today
