What Steven Lopez likes about choice and student lead activities is that it allows his students to bring their interests, hobbies, abilities and passions into the classroom and the community. Steven walks us through what he does and shares examples of several units. (See the show notes) While giving choice to students can seem overwhelming, Steven makes it manageable and, bonus points, more interesting to grade.

The traditional notion is that schools are failing and they need “reforming.” But our guest believes that our education system is obsolete and needs re-imaging. Why? Because our education systems were created at the Dawn of the Industrial Era, and we no longer live in the Industrial Era. Tony Wagner is at the Learning Policy Institute, and he's also been at Harvard University and a number of other institutions. He also published a memoir last year called “Learning by Heart: An Unconventional Education.”In this episode we look at the modern education system from all angles;, how can we teach teachers, the future of microcredentials and how can parents embrace education at home.Episode QuotesIs learning content the most important thing anymore?:In the 21st century, content knowledge still matters. In a world where Google knows everything, it's a different kind of content that matters. Skills matter more, I argue in the innovation era, and motivation matters most.How creativity gets squashed out of kids:What happens in school, fewer and fewer think of themselves as creative in any way. It's something that happens off there in the corner, in a niche for just a few kids. And kids become obsessed with getting the right answer rather than asking their own questions. You don't have to take a creativity test to see this, you see it every day in classrooms, Greg. Kids aren't asking questions. They don't have time, they're not encouraged. If it's a question, it's -“ will this be on the test?” or “how much does this count towards my grade?”, which is what we're teaching in school.How will we change the current education system?:The challenge is, if we're going to get shaken out of our usual way of doing things at any of these levels, there has to be a sense of urgency. And that has to be created by leaders. Show Links:Guest Profile:Professional Profile at Learning Policy InstituteTony Wagner's Website Tony Wagner on LinkedinTony Wagner on TwitterTony Wagner at TEDxNYEDHis work:Tony Wagner's BlogLearning by Heart: An Unconventional EducationMost Likely to Succeed: Preparing Our Kids for the Innovation EraCreating Innovators: The Making of Young People Who Will Change the WorldThe Global Achievement Gap: Why Our Kids Don't Have the Skills They Need for College, Careers, and Citizenship -- and What We Can Do About ItChange Leadership: A Practical Guide to Transforming Our Schools

Our guest today is Ryan Schaaf, instructional designer, professor in the Johns Hopkins University School of Education, and author of 5 books. Ryan thinks and writes about using digital tools and game-like learning experience in the classroom to engage today's learners in new ways. His new book explores learning in the age of disruption. How is this related to school growth you might ask? Well, listen and you will find out. Watch out for when a young student in the future runs a digital project with a scientist in Antartica. The short answer is that parents know and feel the age of disruption is upon us. If you can create a learning experience that will excite young students, word of mouth will spread.In our discussion, we cover:How the Dune Book Series and the Lord of the Rings are like instructional video games.How to Ryan uses video games to create exciting and multifaceted learning experiences with his sons.Why learning by making mistakes is easier with game-based learning.The explosion of energy that you can tap into if you utilize digital tools that students are used to in the classroom, provided you use them in the right way.The similarities between game-based learning and project-based or inquiry-based learning.Why games are a great tool to break through the industrial-age forces that are keeping your school back.How to use game-like learning experiences to grow your school.Quotes:3:50 “Gone are the days where you just memorize content and facts; now education is about story lines and seeing relationships.”4:50 “They (video games) are probably the best medium for learning-growth mindset - where you learn from your mistakes and by trying new strategies.”6:10 “Students want to demonstrate what they’ve learned, and they become ‘prosumers’ - they consume information from the video games, and then they produce their own content and share with their gaming community.”7:30 “Game-based learning is the incubator of the next generation skills that we want our workforce to have.”12:10 “Learning must be relevant, fun, and useful for the learners or you won’t have engagement.”15:15 “We have to question systems because they have a way of becoming rigid over time.”Here are some resources mentioned in our discussion:Most Likely to Succeed: Preparing Our Kids for the Innovation Era - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00P42WP7KThe Oregon Trail Game - http://www.gameloft.com/en/game/the-oregon-trail-american-settlerWhere to learn more about Ryan Shaaf:Web - infosavvy21.comTwitter - https://twitter.com/RyanLSchaafA Brief History of the Future of Education: Learning in the Age of Disruption - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MW8DZJ2Game On: Using Digital Games to Transform Teaching, Learning, and Assessment - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M28RHLTMaking School a Game Worth Playing - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07C6MV6LGUsing Digital Games as Assessment and Instruction Tools - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XDN5EIOReinventing Learning for the Always On Generation - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0113KZGH2

Our guest today is Joshua Wittman. He is the Director of Ninos del Sol - an Eco-School in Costa Rica.In this episode, Joshua talks about the roles of serendipity and diversity in his position as a teacher, an administrator, and a founder of the school. He relates the story of how he came to focus on bringing the classroom outside into nature in order to teach sustainability and ecology in a natural environment. Joshua has a strong marketing mindset and shares his ideas on growing the school through connecting with the community. Listen and take notes on how to use technology in the daily life of the school - including social media - to engage existing and potential supporters. In our discussion, we cover: 1:00 Joshua shares the path that led him to start a school - Ninos del Sol in Costa Rica.9:32 He tells about connecting learning to project-based experiences rather than getting stuck on meeting curriculum standards in a linear way.17:48 Andrew asks, “You are in Costa Rica with the ocean in view. How can schools in the US accomplish project-based learning wherever they are located?”21:47 Joshua tells that schools must use community engagement as a marketing strategy to communicate about what is happening at the school and to invite the community to participate actively in the life of the school.27:52 Bringing all of his life experiences and passions together in a coherent whole, Joshua talks about how to create a value proposition for a school.37:14 Joshua develops the idea of serendipity and diversity in school growth.40:35 He shares advice for schools on how to bring diversity to their local community.46:50 Expanding on the idea of serendipity, Joshua relates that it becomes a way of viewing even seemingly negative experiences.50:40 Joshua walks-through the many positive uses of technology to engage the internal audience (parents) and the external audience (the community at large) and to remind them of what you are doing so that they become a part of the school story. 58:10 He shares marketing goals for the next year, including goals to engage businesses and entities with money available to be shared with causes they might support - like the interface of technology in the classroom.Quotes: 10:38 “We have to move at nature’s pace.”27:10 “Everything is connected. Being able to reinforce those connections has time and time again created the synergy that makes us grow.”36:00 “If you are not sure that you are on the right track, reassess your community and expand it to include people who are going to inspire you.”40:52 “Create diversity in your community.”49:14 “If you don’t have time for marketing, you have to hire somebody who does.”Here are some resources mentioned in our discussion: “Most Likely to Succeed: Preparing Our Kids for the Innovation Era” by Tony Wagner and Ted Dintersmithhttps://www.amazon.co.uk/Most-Likely-Succeed-Preparing-Innovation/dp/1501104314“Dance Equations” by Miranda Abbott https://danceequations.com/Miranda Abbott email - danceequations@gmail.comFarmbot - https://farm.bot/“The Long Tail” by Chris Anderson https://www.amazon.co.uk/Long-Tail-Endless-Creating-Unlimited/dp/1844138518Where to learn more about Joshua Wittman:Ninos del Sol Eco-School https://www.ninosdelsolcr.com/Ninos del Sol Eco-School ninosdelsolcr@gmail.comLinkedin - linkedin.com/in/jpwteaching
