Designing Schools To Engage And Drive Learning
● GOOGLE-inspired Learning Environment
● Six Pillars of Digital Leadership
A New Way to Learn
Academies and Academy Experience● Professional mentorships● Opportunities for dual credit● Access to resources, field trips, and virtual courses outside school
settings● Book studies● Relationships with partnering institutions and organizations● Master classes, workshops, and other related field studies● A capstone project● Specialized transcripts● A special designation on diploma
Individualized and Personalized Learning
● Online course offerings● VHS Collaborative● OpenCourseWare (OCW)● Massive Open Online Course (MOOC)● Independent OpenCourseWare Study (IOCS)
● Open Course Ware embodies liberty: opens code for study, review, & modification; transfers power and control from corporations to schools; ZERO COST = OPEN LEARNING
● OCW encourages learning from experiencing & building: empowers students to be technology innovators & inventors NOT technology tourists
● OCW = Student/Professional Collaboration: technology student apprenticeships; IT support/help desk run by student apprentices; apprentices are treated as IT staff; helped roll out school-wide 1-to-1
● OCW flattens traditional hierarchy of teacher/student relationship: Apprentices learn logistics, project planning, writing, training skills, peer leadership, troubleshooting, & practical problem-solving strategies
● OPEN SOURCE OPENS STUDENTS’ MINDS!● LEARNING SHOULD BE FREE!
