19. Teacher/Student Recognition
Program (VTRP)
Reward “best practices”
Share “best practices” through BEEP
Remind community of our commitment to digital education
Today, I would like to update the group on Broward’s vision for transforming its learning environments to meet the needs of a 21st century world, giving you some background on what led us to our current status, why we choose the path we took, and where we hope to go in terms of the teaching and learning that occurs in Broward schools.
Technology is now fully integrated into our students’ daily lives. Young people simply use new media as tools to make their lives easier, strengthen their existing friendship networks and are involved in creative production from uploading and editing photos to building and maintaining web sites.
Research study entitled”Their Space: Education for a digital generation” polled this digital generation and found the following which may be contrary to society’s assumptions about students use of technology.
1.These students are capable of self-regulation when kept well informed about the levels of risk and safety around using the Internet.
2. Students had their own hierarchy of digital activities when it came to assesing the potential for learning
3. They used technology in ways that in the past would have labelled them as “geek” but they were not all using it in the same way.
Here are the four new roles
Digital Pioneers - this group were blogging before the phrase had been coined
Creative producers - building websites, posting movies, photos and music to share with friends, family and beyond
Everyday communicators - making their lives easier through text messaging, cell phones and the like
Information gathers are Google and Wikipedia addicts
Way of describing life with digital technology from the perspective of children
David Warlick (author of Redefining Literacy for the 21st Century) .... It is not enough for students to just know content they must be able to apply it in a way that will be meaningful for the 21st century.
Reading must evolve into exposing knowledge ... Reading + information literacy
Writing must evolve into expressing ideas ... Writing + video + audio + graphics
Our ways of employing skills must contain key elements of mathematical /algebraic thinking
We must include ethical use .... Copyright, fair use of hardware and software,,,,etc.
Citizenship takes on a new dimension - includes learning to live in a global world where citizenship goes beyond our borders
Health and the environment translates to the understanding of global warming, environmental protection, individual health and societal health
Financial and business literacy translates to understanding how to conduct business across the globe
Skils include critical thinking, project management, working in teams, seamless use of digital tools for communication and information analysis and studying content in depth
Passed in 2000, No Child Left behind sets requirements for technology use.
Technology literacy is the ability to responsibly use appropriate technology to communicate, solve problems, and access, manage, integrate, evaluate, and create information to improve learning in all subject areas and to acquire lifelong knowledge and skills in the 21st century.
How did Broward respond to this research and its understanding of what our digital students need? In 2004, Broward developed an Instructional Technology plan aimed at systematically moving towards its vision. From 2004 to the present, Broward has been implementing this plan which includes many projects which I will put in context today.
One of the most difficult conditions to meet is that of a student center learning environment.
Traditional educational practices no longer provide students with all the necessary skills for economic survival in today’s workplace. Students today must apply strategies for solving problems using appropriate tools for learning, collaborating, and communicating.
The chart lists characteristics representing traditional approaches to learning and corresponding strategies associated with new learning environments.
How did Broward go about moving into vision into action? And what did Broward learn along the way that impacted future decisions? This graphic shows that to create a new learning environment takes a system approach. All the parts lead to the creation of the whole. Any part that is not moving along will affect the growth of the whole.
I am going to start with where Broward started in 2004 with the implementation of the one to one model which we called the digital learning environment study. Then, I will be coming back to this visual to show how it all fits together.

Conclude: skills children are developing through these activities, such as creativity, communication and collaboration are those that will enable them to succeed in a globally networked, knowledge-driven world.!
