Hi Allison!! You're gonna love it here!
RT Q1 Why should schools move from the industrial model/structure to something that represents the information age?
Know a friend or two who would be interested in our topic tonight? Send them a tweet and ask them to join us!
I knew more people just might follow me as Drake. HA! It's on my goal for the week to update it.
A1: Literally everything has changed over time to keep up with progress - when we know there's a better way, why not move?
A1: Helping students be productive citizens in the system, economy, & world they inhabit means shifting mindset this way
A1: Society has changed, we cna't use the excuse of that's how we've always done it, wouldn't you want your dr to be up-to-date?
Well, if you started from the bottom now you're here.
Because after 124 years we should shift our mindset!
https://t.co/7Z1q9lRI4p
A1: Helping students be productive citizens in the system, economy, & world they inhabit means shifting mindset this way
A1: We are educating for the present and future - our model needs to match.
A1: Because almost every other large entity or system has adapted to our changing world...except education!
Indeed it does!
https://t.co/5INCQcSfuu
A1: We are educating for the present and future - our model needs to match.
Yes - we owe it to Ss to prepare them for today's world. https://t.co/Kxvh7d6aUj
A1: Helping students be productive citizens in the system, economy, & world they inhabit means shifting mindset this way
A1: Offices are losing cubicles & flexible hours are options for employees, why are we teaching in cement blocks w/ a bell schedule
A1:We need to prepare students for new challenges related to the new age:multiculturalism,new technologies,mobility,etc.
A1: Industry is repetitive. Info is forever dynamic. We need to teach learners how to change their thinking to the higher order.
A1: It depends on how your Ss define success at 18 or 22. Mine don't want to be told what to do, they want to be their own boss.
A1: Not a lot of horses and buggies in our school parking lots . . . most days.
Hmmm...good question.
https://t.co/NZQhtjc1WD
A1: Offices are losing cubicles & flexible hours are options for employees, why are we teaching in cement blocks w/ a bell schedule
3 weeks in and loving it.
A1 To prepare our students for their future should be in an environment that represents those conditions they will work in
A1 We need to prepare Ss to be resourceful and creative thinkers, problem solvers, collaborators, leaders.
https://t.co/Y5sa37bZgV
Q1 Why should schools move from the industrial model / structure to something that represents the information age?
No horses and buggies.
https://t.co/MtAUjJFNSW

So, no slates or chalk? https://t.co/IeK5W7dmK3

Lindsey from Swartz creek, MI
A1 Information is power and we must teach children to access it and analyze it quickly and effectively to compete in the real world
A1: We need to help foster thinkers and makers not human ditto machines.
A1: We HAVE to change the way we teach because the world is constantly evolving. We need REAL WORLD appl. and critical thinking!
Hello! Saw this topic & have to jump in! Amy, principal from Indiana. Hope it is not too late to jump in!
Never too late! Welcome, Amy. https://t.co/9ehCkULKBP
Hello! Saw this topic & have to jump in! Amy, principal from Indiana. Hope it is not too late to jump in!
Never too late, jump on in Amy..and welcome!
. Please do. Never too late to join in
Thinking about my 3 YO; I want him to be happy, a critical thinker, problem solver, and life long learner. Are we achieving that?
A1: Engagement on a global scale - who would have thought 10 years ago - flipped classrooms exist on Twitter! We must keep up!
Our students need to be prepared 4 the jobs that haven't even been created yet and that requires teachers to change their mindsets
I hope so!
https://t.co/JfkNCR0bRk
Thinking about my 3 YO; I want him to be happy, a critical thinker, problem solver, and life long learner. Are we achieving that?
A1-Relevancy. Period. Our world is different. It is time we change the model in which we teach.
Q2 What should that structure (information age) look like in a school?
Exactly! We use white boards not chalk boards, iPads and not notebooks,but we still do HW & bells the same https://t.co/cd8SB6uPO0
A1: Not a lot of horses and buggies in our school parking lots . . . most days.
A1 Information is power. Teaching students to access that information quickly and analyze it is essential.
A1: As Pink says in Drive, we need to create opportunities for autonomy, mastery, & purpose. https://t.co/pD8cMutcGw
Q1 Why should schools move from the industrial model / structure to something that represents the information age?
RT Q2 What should that structure (information age) look like in a school?
A2 1 to 1 computing opportunities for students.
A1 Industrial age preparation learning was limited by design; information age needs pple passionate about learning how to learn
I think of my own children too. What are we doing to prepare them for the world they will enter? It IS different!
A2: Not sure there is a recipe - it might look different for different learners. Ss should be free to have some choice and create.
Many new leaders in here tonight- please follow and build your PLN!
Welcome! Always learn from your insightful thoughts!
A2: I struggle envisioning this. It would be different for every Ss. The only ways I can see that happen are capital intensive.
After you solve the pic issue...tell me will ever pass
A2:You can see in the devices students and teachers use,multi-task methods,flipping classroom and other innovation
A2: We need spaces where students can explore using multiple mediums: tech, hands-on, etc. and have the freedom to make mistakes.
A2: Courses are not isolated, earning is not defined to a traditional yr.Collab environment, etc. (this IS My school program!)
A2: Questioning, verifying, collaborating, creating, communicating, discovering, uncovering, exploring . . .
A2: We can get creative/personal w/ curriculum pathways for Ss and do away with traditional bell schedule and even classroom walls
A2 Lots of inquiry real world problems, proposals of possible solutions with supporting evidence
A1: Bc industrial-age ed doesn't prepare kids for 21st century tasks. Unfortunately, much blended/online is just a perpetuation.
A2: A place where tech enhances our Ss learning, not a tool to replace teaching
Good list!
https://t.co/J9xJZdHxCP
A2: Questioning, verifying, collaborating, creating, communicating, discovering, uncovering, exploring . . .
A2-Flexibility! The world we live in is collaborative. Let's create that! Opportunities to solve problems, create, apply content.
Ss must be collaborative, critical thinkers, using technology to solve problems and locate answers. Ts need to foster this in class
A2: Open collaboration & communication with others in & outside of the school building. Completing relevant work based on passions!
Q2: Much tougher question - what they should and can look like is a tough balance. Schools need to be creative about innovation
They don't have to be right the first time? Since when?
Personal pathways!
https://t.co/zC8kVJEgtS
A2: We can get creative/personal w/ curriculum pathways for Ss and do away with traditional bell schedule and even classroom walls
A2 Reverse engineering of required standards
A1. Industrial model works if the parts are all the same. Kids aren't the same. Education must be individualized for effectiveness
A1 Schools need to stay relevant. If we want kids to be creative thinkers, we better expand our visions https://t.co/xTsoFXoulC
Q1 Why should schools move from the industrial model / structure to something that represents the information age?
All verbs! That is what it is about! Doing & applying to learn, meet needs. https://t.co/0ecdKUWDqN
A2: Questioning, verifying, collaborating, creating, communicating, discovering, uncovering, exploring . . .
Well, unless it's state testing time.
A2:We also need to use the SAMR model and get to modification and redefinition levels
A2 The school structure for the info age should include: inquiry, research, collaboration, presentation (more than T), reflection.
So key! Using the tools available to all to enhance opportunities & experiences! https://t.co/v61yBIPFix
A2: A place where tech enhances our Ss learning, not a tool to replace teaching
A2 Greater flexibility for Ts + Ss: schedule, room, techtools, topics and means of sharing what is learned
https://t.co/SekDFdyBaF
Q2 What should that structure (information age) look like in a school?
I think some people will be creative inside our structures and others want to blow those structures away.
A2: Not just YouTube videos and Google-scored multiple-choice. Innovation factories connected to real world mentors, audiences.
Right now it is someone's job to figure out what is and why it's trending above Batchelor. Are we preparing students for that?
A2 Students knowing how to determine what info they need, how to get the info, how to analyze complex data sets
is now trending in USA, ranking 45
This is the moment we've waited for, people! https://t.co/VrPpRvKlXr
Right now it is someone's job to figure out what is and why it's trending above Batchelor. Are we preparing students for that?
I have students that follow my chats...so we will see tomorrow..HA!
Q3 How do we make the shift to something that aligns with the information age?
A2. Students need movement, variety of instruction, interaction, stimulation, and choices
A2-Take down the "walls" of the school.
A2 Educators developing the passion for reading for information in ALL Ss
A2: We need to create more opps for Ss to move at own pace with learning. Promote by mastery not seat time https://t.co/xXnMAAEa9c

A2: move away from the sit and get! Inquiry. Discovery. And don't forget the social-emotional....develop the whole child!
A3: Eliminate antiquated processes that don't fit with our purpose - be willing to put the purpose first.
It is time to question everything we have done and are doing to see if it still fits what our students need. If not, chunk it!
A3:Stop with all the mandates and let kids figure out who they are, provide mentors, build towards that. Country wide culture shift
A3 Have to define what we mean by “information age”. Do we have a common understanding of what it is? :)
Keep what works, toss what does not. Be creatively efficient!
https://t.co/2hQMFdHudW
A3: Eliminate antiquated processes that don't fit with our purpose - be willing to put the purpose first.
A3: Need a community of educators not afraid to take risk, use research-based strategies & loosening bureacracy
A3 Not be afraid as teachers to change what has become the norm in teaching. Think outside the box.
A3-Model it. Take the leap & lead by example. Show what is possible for kids & make it happen.
A3 It takes leaders who are willing to force an upgrade of the standards
I agree, but how do we do that in a safe way for all?
A3: Genius hour strikes me as a very manageable structure. Trying it this year!
A3 Great question! Stop thinking from where we are and start thinking "where do we want to be?"
https://t.co/22ExpSQKLi
Q3 How do we make the shift to something that aligns with the information age?
A3: Bold, risk taking leaders are necessary. I can change what happens for my 120 Ss 50 min a day. I need risk-takers above me too.
Risk! Be willing to get rid of "because that's the way we've always done it" https://t.co/bYOUdY3qbp
A3: Need a community of educators not afraid to take risk, use research-based strategies & loosening bureacracy

A3 Have to define what we mean by “information age”. Do we have a common understanding of what it is? :)
A3:Being flexible,open for changes and innovation,seeking help and support with new devices and methods,in short:
A3: Paradigm shifts: from covering to uncovering, from memorizing to creating, from accepting to questioning.
A3: I struggle w/some ideas of technology replacing the human relationship of teaching; or should I say facilitating knowledge.
A3-Establish a collective vision for what we want for our kids. Always start w/ what is best for kids. Then build it. Model it.
A3: Create a system where we get rid of systematic education. Provide freedoms for professionals to be the leaders of their field.
A3: This is where we as educators need to connect with the workforce to see what they need from us
A3: strikes me as a very manageable structure. Trying it this year!

Starting small helps, along w/ spending time crafting vision & aligned goals.Results from approach help too!
A3: The "info. age" tears down walls & changes what we can do, but Ss need a lot of support in what to do with the information.

A3: This is where we as educators need to connect with the workforce to see what they need from us

A3: Create a system where we get rid of systematic education. Provide freedoms for professionals to be the leaders of their field.
Build community relationships and determine where the greatest need is and how to address it.
Information Age- connected via technology, using this connectedness to identify and solve problems
Q4 What opportunities for Ss would increase their exposure to creativity, collaboration, & innovation?
love this. This isn't a time issue, it's a culture shift. A real question about what's valued in the classroom
What if every student had an opportunity to share her/his learning (presentation) with those in the work force?
Yes! We must teach Ss to process, analyze, deconstruct, reflect, and critique.
https://t.co/BxM2PQ8goG
A3: The "info. age" tears down walls & changes what we can do, but Ss need a lot of support in what to do with the information.

A4 PBL, CHOICE, PASSION
https://t.co/6rmIHgrLss
Q4 What opportunities for Ss would increase their exposure to creativity, collaboration, & innovation?
I think that would be great. Sometimes it could give the workforce a new perspective

A4: Focus on, and promote thinking skills, not just knowledge acquisition.
A4: What if every Ss had a mentor in a field that they're interested in who they met with regularly.
I think it is critical to never lose focus that schools exist for students! Too often adults seem to think otherwise...
A4:For example,in my school we organize a newsletter where SS can participate and write about topics they are interested
I was thinking that students need people other than the teacher with which to share lrng. Real audiences.
A4: Leaders must train/empower Ts to use more authentic assessment. Must be encouraged to take risks! https://t.co/lHtxzOgoZj

A4: Exposure to real world problem solving and instead of knowledge acquisition (which they can get online) innovation acquisition
A4: Visits to non-traditional businesses. Recently visited what amounts to a real-life maker space, with guys paid 2 problem solve.
A3b - Good idea to learn what present industry needs, but industry is moving and changing. We better be built to move and change.
What if everyone who is sharing an idea to Q4 worked in the same school?
