Digital Citizenship
Learner First— 
Talk about (in 2 min or less) 
the most recent or compelling 
use of technology you have 
seen or used for your own 
personal learning. 
Emerson and Thoreau 
reunited would ask- 
“What has become 
clearer to you 
since we last 
met?”
Mantra for tonight’s presentation 
We are stronger together than apart. 
None of us is as smart, creative, good or 
interesting as all of us.
Are you Ready for Learning, 
Leading and Parenting in the 21st 
Century? 
It isn’t just “coming”… it has arrived! And 
professionals who aren’t redefining themselves, 
risk becoming irrelevant in preparing children for 
the future that awaits them.
“In a time of 
drastic change it 
is the learners 
who inherit the 
future. The 
learned usually 
find themselves 
equipped to live 
in a world that 
no longer exists.” 
--Eric Hoffer,

the Human 
Condition

Internet of Things & Services 
• The Internet of Things is a technological system, a 
suite of products and services that will make life a 
bit more comfortable. 
• It is more than the Internet we know — it goes 
beyond empowering people to communicate and 
collaborate. 
• The Internet of Things can connect any product or 
service. And it automatically links what might 
emerge as a result of this collaboration — interact 
even without human intervention.
What do you wonder… 
• About how the emergence of the 2nd 
renaissance will change education? 
• About the impact this shift will have on 
parenting and home life? 
About what students will need to prepare 
them for their future? 
About connected learning in general?
Recap… 
1. The world is changing. 
2. The context has shifted 
3.We have amazing tools that enable us 
to connected, collaborate and create. 
4. Schools are remaining just about the 
same. 
We are in the midst of seeing education transform 
from a book-based, linear system with a focus on 
individual achievement to an web-based, 
divergent system with a focus on community 
building.
We have to change school culture 
Recapture OUR 
passion for learning.

Free range learners 
Almost from birth 
today’s children 
have free range 
access to 
knowledge. 
The potential exists 
for all kiddos to 
learn what they 
want – when they 
want.

The Disconnect 
“Every time I go to school, I have to 
power down.” --a high school 
student 
• THE CONNECTED EDUCATOR
The pace of change is 
accelerating
Knowledge Creation 
It is estimated that 
1.5 exabytes of unique new information 
will be generated 
worldwide this year. 
That’s estimated to be 
more than in the 
previous 5,000 years.
For students starting a four-year 
technical or higher education degree, 
this means that . . . 
half of what they learn in their first year 
of study will be outdated by their third 
year of study.
According to Clay Shirky, there are four steps on a ladder to mastering the connected 
world: sharing, cooperating, collaborating, and collective action. 
Share 
Cooperate 
Collaborate 
Collective Action 
From his book- “Here Comes Everybody”
Connected Learning has the potential 
to takes us deeper 
“The interconnected, interactive 
nature of social learning 
exponentially amplifies the rate at 
which critical content can be 
shared and questions can be 
answered.” 
From: Collaborative Learning for the Digital Age in The 
Chronicle of Higher Education 
Cathy Davidson, 
professor at Duke 
University
Connected sometimes trumps F2F with deep 
learning… 
Via Marc Andreessen’s blog, the findings of researchers as related by 
Frans Johansson in The Medici Effect:
Diversity of thought 
Allows for Greater Innovation 
Frans Johansson explores one simple yet profound 
insight about innovation: in the intersection of 
different fields, disciplines and cultures, there’s an 
abundance of extraordinary new ideas to be explored.
Do it Yourself PD 
A revolution in technology has transformed the way 
• THE CONNECTED EDUCATOR 
we can find each other, interact, and collaborate to 
create knowledge as connected learners. 
What are connected learners? 
Learners who collaborate online; learners who use 
social media to connect with others around the globe; 
learners who engage in conversations in safe online 
spaces; learners who bring what they learn online 
back to their classrooms, schools, and districts.
Personal Learning Networks 
Community-Dots On Your Map 
Are you “clickable”- Are your children?
Internet tribes 
“Twitter and blogs ... 
contribute an entirely 
new dimension of 
what it means to be a 
part of a tribe. The 
real power of tribes 
has nothing to do 
with the Internet and 
everything to do with 
people.” 
cc Steve Wheeler, University of Plymouth, 2010 
“A tribe needs a 
shared interest and a 
way to 
communicate.”

Play — the capacity to experiment with one’s surroundings as a form of problem-solving 
Performance — the ability to adopt alternative identities for the purpose of 
improvisation and discovery 
Simulation — the ability to interpret and construct dynamic models of real-world 
processes 
Appropriation — the ability to meaningfully sample and remix media content 
Multitasking — the ability to scan one’s environment and shift focus as needed 
to salient details. 
Distributed Cognition — the ability to interact meaningfully with tools that 
expand mental capacities 
.
Collective Intelligence — the ability to pool knowledge and compare notes with 
others toward a common goal

Connected Learning 
The computer connects the student to the rest of the world 
Learning occurs through connections with other learners 
Learning is based on conversation and interaction 
Stephen Downes
Connected Learner Scale 
Share (Publish & Participate) – 
Connect (Comment and 
Cooperate) – 
Remixing (building on the 
ideas of others) – 
Collaborate (Co-construction of 
knowledge and meaning) – 
Collective Action (Social Justice, Activism, Service 
Learning) –
In Phillip Schlechty's, Leading for Learning: How 
to Transform Schools into Learning 
Organizations he makes a case 
for transformation of schools. 
Reform- installing innovations that will work 
within the context of the existing culture and 
structure of schools. It usually means 
changing procedures, processes, and 
technologies with the intent of improving 
performance of existing operation systems.
Transformation- is intended to make it possible to do 
things that have never been done by the organization 
undergoing the transformation. 
It involves repositioning and 
reorienting action by putting an 
organization into a new business 
or adopting radically different 
means of doing the work 
traditionally done. 
Different than 
Transformation includes altering the beliefs, values, 
meanings- the culture- in which programs are embedded, as 
well as changing the current system of rules, roles, and 
relationship- social structure-so that the innovations needed 
will be supported.
So as you consider your vision for learning in 
the 21st Century how do you see it? Should 
schools follow a reform framework or 
a transform framework 
and why? 
Make a case for using 
one or the other as a 
change strategy.
Change is hard
Connected learners are more effective 
change agents
Real Question is this: 
Are we willing to change- to risk change- to meet the needs 
of the precious folks we serve? 
Can you accept that Change (with a “big” C) is sometimes a 
messy process and that learning new things together is 
going to require some tolerance for ambiguity.
