Mindsets for the 21st century and beyond

Mindsets for the 21st century and beyond | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
The world is morphing into a place that no one can foresee. How can we prepare students to live and work in that place?

Not long ago, people could learn job skills and use them indefinitely, but now jobs and skill sets are becoming obsolete at an alarming rate. This means that students, and later adults, need to expect and thrive on challenges and know how to turn failures into stepping stones to a brighter future.

When I was a beginning researcher I wanted to see how children coped with setbacks, so I gave 5th graders simple problems followed by hard problems—ones they couldn’t solve. Some hated the hard ones, some tolerated them, but, to my surprise, some relished them. One unforgettable child rubbed his hands together, smacked his lips, and declared, “I love a challenge!” Another said, “I was hoping this would be informative.” They didn’t think they were failing, they thought they were learning. Although this was years ago, they were already 21st century kids.

6 ways teaching is changing for a digital world

6 ways teaching is changing for a digital world | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
Learning to change your teaching practice in today’s digital-first world is a bit like learning a foreign language, to hear ed-tech vet Ann McMullan tell it. “You don’t speak it fluently on the first day. But you pick up one word, two words, three words, and the more you engage and the more you use it, the more  natural it begins to feel.”

4 Ways We Will Support 21st Century Learning | Inside Higher Ed

4 Ways We Will Support 21st Century Learning | Inside Higher Ed | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

Steven Mintz’s article Five Ways that 21st and 20th Century Learning Will Differ does a beautiful job of laying out how "teaching and learning in the early 21st century differ from its 20th century”.


The far-reaching developments for learning that Mintz’s foresees include:

* A 21st century education will be geared toward 100 percent proficiency.

* It will rest on the science of learning.

* It will be data-driven.

* It will be personalized.

* It will take advantage of technology in ways that truly enhance the learning experience.

The 4C’s: How Teachers Use iPads to Support 21st-Century Learning

The 4C’s: How Teachers Use iPads to Support 21st-Century Learning | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
Each spring in their Skills for Tomorrow class, the fifth grade engages in an exercise in empathy. Following the model of NPR’s StoryCorps project, students pair up and share significant life stories and experiences. Then, with the help of an iPad and a choice of apps, students retell their partner’s story using images, video, and words.

As they work on this project, students leverage technology as a tool for creation, communication, collaboration, and critical thinking – four skills commonly known as “The 4C’s.”

Meet Learner 2.0 | Learning with 'e's

Meet Learner 2.0 | Learning with 'e's | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

I'm presenting a keynote speech in Brisbane for EduTech next week, and the theme for my talk is 'Meet Learner 2.0'. I want my audience of mainly higher education teachers to think about the cohort of students that is now coming through the doors of universities. Generally they are young people who have no memory of the last century (the one we were all brought up and educated in), and have been immersed in technology their entire lives. They are younger than the Internet and mobile phones, and they don't recall a time when there was no Google or Facebook.

Rethinking Education: Self-Directed Learning Fits the Digital Age | WIRED | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
Taking apart the idea of school as we know it and getting back to the roots of children and learning is a pervasive thought which I am constantly researching and evaluating. There is no shortage of pedagogies out there but there seems to be a lack of application of relevant methodologies for out of the…

27 ways to become a better 21st century teacher. Many interesting aspects, and I believe many teachers already follow many of these. However, some reminders are always useful and inspirational! I particularly like the suggestion to participate in conference calls around the world with your class. Or perhaps follow a MOOC, either with you students or to develop your own teaching further?
