EXPECT their students to perform well, the students work hard and live up to their

teacher’s expectations.”

Inspire Deeper Questions to Infuse…

Page 54: DNA of a 21st Century Educator (v2)

What about a 100,000-Student Classroom?

In the fall of 2011 Peter Norvig taught a class with Sebastian Thrun on artificial

intelligence at Stanford, which was also offered online for free. Over 160,000 students from more than 190 countries enrolled for the online course.

http://www.ted.com/talks/peter_norvig_the_100_000_student_classroom.html

Page 55: DNA of a 21st Century Educator (v2)

More Importantly…

23,000 students passed the online course (253 got perfect scores).

Professor Thrun has taught more students the subject than all of the rest of the computer science professors in the world.

The 23,000 who passed the course represent more students than most faculty will teach in their career.

Out of the 200 Stanford students attending the traditional course, only 41 were in class at the end of the course.

The other 159 opted for the online asynchronous presentation.

410 online students outperformed the top Stanford student!

Students are teaching students (Q&A ranking system).

Students themselves translated the class for free from English into 44 languages.

The on-campus passing rate was the highest ever.

Constructive Alignment

"Good teaching is getting most students to use the higher cognitive level processes that the more academic students use spontaneously.”

Authentic Learning?

9 Elements of Authentic Learning: 1. Provide authentic contexts that reflect the way the knowledge

will be used in real life

2. Provide authentic tasks and activities

3. Provide access to expert performances and the modelling of processes

4. Provide multiple roles and perspectives

5. Support collaborative construction of knowledge

6. Promote reflection to enable abstractions to be formed

7. Promote articulation to enable tacit knowledge to be made explicit

8. Provide coaching and scaffolding by the teacher at critical times

9. Provide for authentic assessment of learning within the tasks.

“To be an effective 21st-century teacher,

a teacher must first possess the very same 21st-century skills that their

students are expected to have. And, in

addition to those skills, they must be able to help all of their students obtain and develop

21st-century skills.”
