Students are the greatest textbook ever written for each other, yet, many schools close the book on learning outside classroom walls. After five years of global collaborative classroom excellence, this presentation first uses voices from the keynoters, students, and teachers around the world that have been part of the Flat Classroom projects and conferences to share how education has fundamentally changed through a beautiful medley of voices. Then, hear from Vicki Davis, co-founder, about the 7 principles that can take your classroom global and the current challenges and misconceptions surrounding what it means to globalize your classroom. We hope you’ll join this journey of learning and thank all of our keynoters, students, and teachers, for sharing their voice in this move towards excellence in global education. Presenters: Vicki Davis, Julie Lindsay with Curt Bonk, Anne Mirtschin, Judy O’Connell, Dean Shareski, Don Tapscott, David Warlick, Flat Classroom conference students – Doha Qatar, Suffern Middle School (Peggy Sheehy and Marianne Malmstrom), Mt. Carmel High School (Suzie Nestico), Phoenix School (Betsye Sargent), West Tisbury (Valerie Becker), and Flat Classroom Students

When I left the North Carolina State Department of Public Instruction in 1995, the Internet was still a wilderness for the educators who even knew that it existed. I, and others, saw ourselves as trailblazers, establishing routes and landmarks for those who followed. Then, for years, settling that wilderness became an allegory for an education institution that was, at last, starting to establish the means to move into this new environment and even beginning to expect educators to leave the established but increasingly irrelevant centuries old structures and move into a new and fertile landscape. It might be usefully to extend this story from pioneers, then settlers, and talk about learning gardeners. Our classrooms and extended learning environments have become great gardens of potential, and it has become our job to cultivate learning... To cultivate the future.

It is often said that “the future is not what it use to be.” In this information-driven, technology-rich world, where jobs appear and become obsolete in only a few years, it is certainly not your father’s future any more. Retooling our classrooms into learning spaces that effectively prepare our children for a future of infinite opportunity will require a new story about teaching and learning. It must be a story that is so compelling that we forget about our childhood student experiences from decades ago and agree that a different kind of classroom, teaching, and learning experience is required and deserved by our children.

For decades, education has been an easy institution to define. It consisted of a set of accepted literacy skills, a definable body of knowledge, and the pedagogies for teaching those skills to willing students who were arranged in straight rows. Today, for the first time in decades (in generations of teachers), we are facing the challenge of changing our notions about teaching and learning to adapt to a rapidly changing world. We are struggling to rethink what it is to be educated, to reinvent the classroom, and redefine what it is to be a teacher and a student. There is much that has changed, and for much of it, we have responded to by attempting to ignore, filter, or to block it out. This presentation, by 30+ year educator, author, and technologist, David Warlick, will explore some of these changes and challenges and arrange them as a set of converging conditions that might just help us to redefine and retool the 21st century classroom.

Today, Ginger's responding to Chris Lehmann's Practical Theory blog article called Teacher Learning, Student Learning and School 2.0. He asserts that we should not be relying on only techies to train teachers, but rather to encourage teachers to train themselves. This is a good thing, and Ginger takes it further by talking about how to encourage teachers' motivation and desire to learn these new tools by prioritizing what other pieces to drop from their repertoire, as well as giving teachers profitable salary schedule horizontal movement. University credit is also a wonderful thing. Correction to be made: Because of her dyslexia, Ginger mis-labeled Chris Lehmann's school. It is the Science Leadership Academy in Philadelphia. http://www.scienceleadership.org/ You can find a pic and info about this wonderful place at 2¢ Worth, David Warlick's blog:http://davidwarlick.com/2cents/2007/01/10/new-school-sla/ Practical Theory blog: http://www.practicaltheory.org/serendipity/index.php

Sitting at home in Wales on Thursday evening at about 9.15pm I had a skype message from my pal Allanah King. Allanah is at an e-learning conference in Rotorua New Zealand, where one of their keynote speakers is David Warlick. Allanah was sitting in on David's talk on RSS, Aggregators and Social Networking here is what David had to say to his audience - until either the link or the power went from New Zealand... enjoy hopefully with David's permission - it was such a one off that I couldn't resist the opportunity to podcast this piece.
PRE-CONFERENCE KEYNOTE Derailing Education: Taking Sidetrips for Learning David Warlick is a 30 year educator, author, blogger, and Web 2.0 programmer. Since 1981, he has been using information and communication technologies to help people learn, young and old. When his school could not afford any software for it’s computers, he taught himself to program and wrote award-winning instructional games, before computers could even display in color. His blog postings are read around the world, and his free online web tools are accessed millions of times a week. At heart, David Warlick is a teacher, with a contagious passion and enthusiasm for helping people discover a brand new world of teaching and learning.

I went for a walk down to the village near my home this morning listening to a podcast from Geek-ed about a site called Smelly Monkeys http://smellymonkeys.blogspot.com/2006/05/smelly-monkeys-45.html Give it alisten if you haven't already it's an interesting and fun way to use the technology well done guys.Geek-ed itself is guite a listen never have I heard people having more fun while still giving out up to the minute information and checking out new 'stuff'. On returning from my stroll I found that my recent plea to David Warlick at '2 cents worth' had drawn a reply from a UK Edu-Blogger Tom Barrett - a link to his site is on my Ddraig Goch Blog at http://ddraig-goch.blogspot.com/ ( Ddraig Goch is Red Dragon - from Wales of course!!)
