What, where, when and how students are learning are changing.

- engagement of strangers
- building of community
- example of self-directedness and collaborativeness
With the internet, knowledge is abundance.
Mythbuster
There is a difference in how Generation Y are wired. They can grasp technology more quickly and are able to effectively multi-task.
- effectiveness
- dependent on the environment and task
Technology is everything not invented when you were not born.
How the demand for skills has changed, greater demand on non-routine interactive compared to non-routine manual work. The skills that are easiest to teach and test are also the ones that are easiest to digitise, automate and outsource.

The new average...higher order skills...
Critical thinking and reasoning, problem solving, comunication, (including listening), collaboration, digitally-based learning... and citizenship - Michael Fullan
These are skills that are important now and in the future. Are we underestimating what young people can do?
Critical question: What are your expectations about what technology-richness makes possible for learners, for schools and for teachers? If we are unable to articulate the expectations clearly, then it may not be a good idea to embark on 1-to-1 computing.
Innovation in technology -learning environment should...
- offer extensive opportunities to significantly address learner diversity. e.g. students with learning disabilities, one who is weak in expressing through words alternatives are available through technology
- promote new dimensions of pedagogical innovation
- personalise the learning
- challenge us to look for more appropriate and effective means of assessment. Possibility of technology for making things become better
- allows us to re-imagine curriculum and what it might mean for development of 21st Century skills
- Technology allows us to increase our pedagogical capacity. We're able to do things that we weren't able to do in the past, expanding our pedagogical opportunities
What research tells us:
- Student attendance increases and students are more motivated and more engaged
- Students write more, more often and better e.g. use of spell checkers, but this is dependent on pedagogy
The modern teacher will be able to look at an agile pedagogy (what's the best way of engaging young learners), precise teaching (better understand our learners, personalise the learning, learning analyst, connector to content)
Any teacher who feel that they can be replaced by technology, probably should be.

Confronting the Challenges of Participatory
- collective intelligence
The Evolving Learning Environment
- change in the audience, medium
The quality of an education system cannot exceed the quality of its teachers - McKinsey report
Case Study - (CGS)
- Staff development included time for teachers to explore the package, reflect on how they might use it in teaching
- moving towards student-centred learning: personalised learning, collaborative learning, self-directed learning, inquiry
- 5E model for level of ICT usage: exchange, enrich, enhance (deepen learning through learners' hands on use of ICT), extend and empower (learners take control of learning through use of ICT, deciding to some extent what and/or how they learn). The progression is mapped to Digital Blooms
Case Study - (NVPS)
- child as a protagonist
- alignment with mp3 outcomes and school strategic thrusts, whole school approach
- environment as the third teacher
- triangulation of speech & drama, art and ICT
