Learning is serious, but that doesnt

mean it has to be grim!

is different from the 20th century.

If we beamed someone into this room

straight out of 1950 or for that matter,
1990 - what would you tell them about
what they can expect to see when they go

School redefined in the 21st century . .

From buildings to nerve centers, with walls

that are porous and transparent, connecting

teachers, students and the community to

the wealth of knowledge that exists in the

world. Information flows both ways.

52
Moving away from
cells and bells to
collaborating
around the world.
53
Schools in the 21st
century will not be
confined by their
walls, but will be
encompassing of the
entire community and
the world.
54
Teacher Redefined

From primary role as a

dispenser of information

to orchestrator of learning,

and helping students turn information into

knowledge, and knowledge into wisdom

55
The 21st century will require knowledge
generation, not just information delivery,
and schools will need to create a culture
of inquiry.

56
Learner Redefined
In the past - a learner was
a young person who . .

went to school,

spent a specified
amount of time in
certain courses,

received passing
grades

and graduated.

57
Today we see learners in a
new context . . .

58
First . . .
We must maintain student interest by

helping them see how what they are

learning prepares them for life in the real

world.

59
Second . . .

We must instill

curiosity, which is

fundamental to

lifelong learning.

60
Third . . .
We should be flexible in how we teach.

61
Fourth -

We must
EXCITE
LEARNERS

to become even more

resourceful so they will
continue to learn outside the
formal school day!

New Literacies for the 21 st

Century

64
Dramatic technological and social

change calls for new types of literacies

to make education relevant to the

demands of a new millennium.

65
So what about education
in the new millennium?

66
 What is literacy?
The 3 Rs

Reading Riting Rithmetic

67
Douglas Kellner tells us that literacy

involves gaining the skills and

knowledge to:

68
1. Read and interpret the text of the

world.

69
2. Successfully navigate its

challenges, conflicts and crises.

70
3. Literacy is a necessary condition to

equip people to . . .

71
. . . participate in the local, national

and global economy, culture and

polity.

72
If education is to be relevant to the

21st century it must:

73
Expand the concept of literacy, and

develop new curricula and pedagogies.

74
Multiple Literacies

We will begin by examining and

analyzing multiple literacies required for

success in the world of the 21st century.

75
Activity - Jigsaw

Here you will learn about some literacies for

the 21st century as you work in Expert

and Jigsaw Groups.

First lets look at the strategy . . .

76
Jigsaw

77
Steps to Jigsaw
Divide the class into several groups of
equal size.

Keep groups small enough for

meaningful discussion.

Designate as Expert Groups - each will

become expert on a different area or
aspect of the issue or concept being
studied by the entire class.
78
 Experts Jigsaw - each Jigsaw Group
has at least one expert from each of
the Expert Groups. The experts then
teach each other.

Jigsaw Group creates the

demonstration/assessment product.

Performs for or presents to the entire

class or another audience.

Jigsaw is valuable in that it . . .
Forces interdependence and
collaboration.

Places a great deal of responsibility on

each student to
learn well enough to teach
communicate effectively

Jigsaw and Multiple Literacies

Expert Groups study and discuss the

information about one of the 21st century
literacies.

What is this literacy?

Why is it important?
84
See Notes
Experts will . . .

Take notes

Be prepared to teach about the literacy

on which you are now an Expert.

85
Then Experts will . . .
Jigsaw and teach others about the literacy

on which you are now an Expert!

86
 Immediate Use of
Learning

and Performance-Based
Assessment
Jigsaw groups will create a product and present it to the whole group.

In this case we will be creating and performing skits!

Take notes

Be prepared to teach about the literacy on

which you are now an Expert.

What is this literacy?

Why is it important?

101
 Go!
Take 30 minutes to read,
discuss and plan what to teach
about your literacy.

102
Time to Jigsaw
Each Expert Group now counts off to four.

Ones go to table . . .
Twos go to table . . . Etc.

Four Jigsaw groups, each with five

experts on different literacies.

Teach each other, then plan a product/skit.

We will be examining a variety of

21st century schools. As you
watch each video, look for and
identify the following critical
attributes of 21st century
education.

The blanks are for items you

notice that you may want to add
to the list!

This is going to be fun!

Geometry in the Real World

Eeva Reeders 10th graders

spent the last six weeks of
the school year designing a
high school for the year
2050.

The teams presented their

final products to be judged
by a panel of architects.

See the video here.

The Edible Schoolyard
The Zoo School
HTHs DNA Bushmeat Project.

(Video is on next slide.)

The Global Classroom
High Tech High students tackle animal poaching through genetics by bar coding
DNA. Then they travel to Africa to conduct a workshop for the Mweka College of
African Wildlife Management on molecular techniques for species identification. The
intensive hands-on wildlife forensics workshop was designed to be a practical lesson
involving innovative methods for identification of confiscated bushmeat.

In Part III you will design a framework for a

unit you will use with your students
incorporating everything we learned up to
this point!
