A Whole New Mind…For a Whole New World
The Left Brain Abilities Powered the Industrial Age– Logical, linear, concrete,
sequential– Right Brain considered frivolous
But, the Right Brain abilities will be most important in the Conceptual Age (the 21st Century)
Left Brain Abilities PLUS:
Inventiveness, Creativity, Empathy, Design, Joyfulness, Meaning, Artistic
“The future belongs to a different kind of person.
Designers, inventors, teachers, storytellers – creative and
empathetic right-brain thinkers.” – Daniel Pink, A Whole New

Jobscan it be done overseas cheaper?
can a computer do it faster?is in it demand in an age of abundance?
We have to ask ourselves:
We must develop minds and skills that cannot be out-sourced
21st Century jobs will require abstract tasks…
critical thinking, creativity, innovation
manual tasks…
interpersonal interactions, empathy, service, communication

The Imperative 21st Century Skills:
“Foster independent thought, creativity, and
learning how to learn,…those are most important
things. And at the same time make sure that
(education) is rigorous…
“The future belongs to those who can recognize patterns,
empathize with others, be creative, and provide
meaning to peoples’ lives.”
-- Daniel Pink
Speak Up Results 2009 What are our kids saying?
1. The Digital Divide is Alive and Well – our students are still powering down to go to school and powering up after school to re-enter the digital world.
2. Collaboration - students want to be able to interact and learn from their own personalized network of experts using cutting edge communications and collaboration tools.
3. Anytime/Anyplace - They understand that learning is a 24/7 enterprise and need learning tools and processes that are not tethered to time, place and geographic boundaries.
Speak Up Results 2009 What are our kids saying?
4. Web 2.0 Tools for Creativity and Innovation – students recognize from their own experiences growing up immersed in digital media that the best way to drive educational productivity is through the effective use of rich and relevant digital tools, content and resources.
5. New paradigm - Technology is enabling, empowering and engaging these Free
Agent Learners in ways that traditional learning paradigms are not.
The “Free Agent Learner”
•un-tethered to traditional school institutions, •is engrossed in developing their own content for learning, •regularly creates new communities for knowledge exchanges and social interaction, •is an expert in data aggregation to drive experiential learning •believes that he or she must be responsible for their own learning destiny since their school is not meeting their needs, and •is empowered by a wide variety of emerging technologies to do so

Birdville ISD Vision
Students SucceedIn A Future They
Create
Ensuring opportunities fornext-generation learning
experiencesis at the heart of our efforts.
Opening the Future • Transforming Learning
– Web 2.0 as Social Revolution– Web 1.0 was reform
• We cannot control or sustain this
• If we do not learn how to use this, we will be obsolete– Destructive for Democracy
Learning as a Social Function• People have always learned
best as a social function– Cities– Agriculture– Writing
• Only a small fraction of human learning has been based on writing
• Smaller yet, has been the industrial model of schools

Paradigm/Revolution:Web 2.0 in BISD
• Unblocked YouTube four Years ago– Putting my
money where my mouth was
– No controversy– More important
to provide quality learning than to fear some harm
Engagement• We cannot mandate
engagement• The nature of Web 2.0 and
its social nature means that people have freedom and choice as to how they learn and create
• We will lose our customers if we do not harness the power of Web 2.0 and customize learning for learners
Factors in Implementation
• Driven by need to transform learning, engage learners
• Collaborative Professional learning
• Conversations with Community
• Seizing the opportunities in Web 2.0
• Taking Risks• No Community Fallout
