a weird lobster-cooking piece in the middle, but basically is shows Alan
November talking about how the old model of schools that we adopted in the
early 1900's doesn't make sense anymore. That schools should (and I believe
will) change from industrial conveyor-belt approach to learning to
learner-centric where teachers are facilitators and learners along side of
the students. This will all be mediated by technology making it possible
for the student to practice and exhibit life-long skills (as outlined by
ISTE NETS) of analysis, creativity & innovation, collaboration &
communication, problem solving and decision making, and information
fluency. He talks about how students will get the content at home (reading,
watching videos, etc.) and do the guided work (that maybe is currently being
assigned for homework) at school with the teacher there to guide. The
students will be responsible for their own learning in ways that take the
control from the teacher - the students will create the rubrics, the
assessments - in ways that are currently not widely accepted by teachers. I
would be interested to see this model in action now. Hope this makes it
more clear. My brain needs some down time, so I apologize now for the
muddled response.
