Education’s Big Shift: Institutions of Learning to Learning Institutions
Most of the new things we will need to learn are best learned while working with others, not from a textbook. You need a network and people to collaborate with, to co-create new knowledge and learn from. You need the explicit knowledge that comes from collaborating and learning from others. Just as someone can’t tell you how to ride a bike, no one call tell you how to create effective instructional routines based on hearing a student’s percentage score. You need…a Professional Networked Learning Collaborative. It's the difference between a search engine and a network.

These are the jokers of the 21st century. Clearly they';ve not been in a school for some time.If my school had a dime for all the words spoken about educational and school reform in the last 25 years we'd be able to afford the technology (computers, network, cameras, digital recorders, labs etc.) that we need. In addition, we'd have the training needed to move out of the 19th century. I guess it all doesn't hurt enough yet.

I just finished a stint in the south Bronx with laptop carts for each grade. Kids were really getting the skills they needed with younger, more innovative teachers who were themselves experienced using technology and willing to take risks plugging in. I also worked at a smaller school, which seemed to have a positive impact on community building and organization. My experience felt very hopeful for an area as needy as the south Bronx. Where do you teach, Skip?
