What will be the shape of our schooling system in 20 years? What are the factors influencing this change, and how should we respond? Drawing from research and practical illustrations, the keynote will provide a thought provoking challenge for all educators, exploring themes of personalisation and the nature of schooling, to practical issues such as BYOD and wireless connectivity, the keynote will provide a view of what a future-focused school might look like, and outline some of the things that school leaders and classroom teachers should be doing now to contribute to this.  - From my presentation to the Canterbury Primary Principals Association

11. The existence of ICTs does not transform
teacher practices in and of itself…
However, ICTs can enable teachers to
transform their teacher practices.

12. EFFECTIVE TEACHING AND LEARNING…Effective teaching and learning
occurs when…
Student autonomy
and initiative
accepted and
encouraged.
Students engage in
dialogue with
teacher and each
other
Higher level thinking
is encouraged
Class uses raw
data, primary
sources, physical
and interactive
materials.
Knowledge and ideas emerge only from a
situation in which learners have to draw
them out of experiences that have
meaning and importance to them.
Teacher asks open-
ended questions
and allows wait
time for response
Students are
engaged in
experiences that
challenge
hypotheses
John Dewey – Constructivist Pedagogy, 1916

23. STUDENT EXPECTATIONS
Washor, E and Mohkowski, C (2013) Leaving to learn
Do my teachers really know
about me and my interests and
talents?
Do I find what the school is
teaching relevant to my
interests?
Do I have opportunities to apply
what I am learning in real world
settings and contexts?
Do I feel appropriately
challenged in my learning?
Can I pursue my learning out
of the standard sequence?
Do I have sufficient time to
learn at my own pace?
Do I have real choice
about what, where
and how I learn?
Do I have opportunities to
explore and make
mistakes?
Do I have opportunities to engage
deeply in my learning and to practice
the skills I need to lean?

31. CHALLENGE
Have we grasped how significantly
student access to technology has
changed their expectations as
learners?

32. NETWORKS
• redefine communities,
friends, citizenship,
identity, presence,
privacy, publics,
geography.
• enable learning,
communication,
sharing, collaboration,
community.
• networks form around
shared interests &
objects

34. CHALLENGES
• Do our learners have to adapt to
our way of doing things, or do
we adapt to theirs?
• Are we focused on delivery – or
learning experience?

35. Education is a complicated
business…
… if it were so simple, we’d
have fixed it already.
