iste 10 - chris lehmann - beyond tools

there's a diff between  
change
and

stop talking about the tech and talk about what we do

check changes: creation research collaboration presentation networking - but stuff we've been doing

tell a better story: we must have vision

profound diff between
i teach math
and i teach kids math

not about subjects we teach - it's about  
what the kids learn 

inquiry driven - student centered

teacher - mentored

community based...

collaborative - christian long - about creating something that will last

schools should be places of 
great passion...
where kids are working on things that matter

school isn't prep for real life - it is real life

know global solutions 
and solve them 
locally

days have to make more sense   {fried, rework}

at sla classes for longer amounts of time

if we shoot for citizens 
we will get the workforce 
we need

if we shoot for the workforce we get what we now have

idea for change from bishop catholic school in oakland

they don't have so much money - sees school moving off campus - to access businesses - internships

the box we're sitting in was built in 1950, no longer best place....

everything becomes very flexible

decentralizing the school

don't segregate by age

no one said - want them to become test takers or chronologically literate

how do we innovate

be humbled by this task

we're trying to ed kids..this job will smack you down and no one will come with
{godin, if it's your art, you will do just about anything to give it away, - won't survive without this mentality - has to be bigger than you.}

if school is about lifelong learning...
if you say you believe it then:

common inputs: core values inquiry research collab presentation reflection

sometimes the best tool is the tool we agree to use

used to be - let me figure out what teacher wants in that class and i'll do that work

common outputs:

if you give a test at the end of pbl 
(project based learning) - 
you're not doing pbl

ilps and capstones  every wed - soph/jrs go all over in the community  over 100 sites in the city

sr capstones - innovation lab

schedules - classes fewer times a week for longer

{what if kids decide due dates for their projects... they learn to manage time... rather than being told due dates}

every system and structure in your school should relate to what you believe in 

going to be more like a college schedule
{k-8 foundational via gaming, logic & programming; 9-12 quasi college, 12+ quasi career}

steam - putting the arts into stem

keep asking questions 
- can't settle for easy answers

best thing - really empowered kids, worst thing - really empowered kids

what's the worst consequence of your best idea:

goes against babysitting roll of hs - how do you do supervision

all behavior we're worried about is questioning authority behavior

making own curriculum

{why can't we let the kids do it}

it's their ed, let it be their world

slideshare/net/chrislehmann

{why cant kids determine their own shipping dates - for their projects..}

what will student's lives be like 
if you dare them to do real work

do it for yourself first (willrich45)
