TITLE: Curriculum Evaluation Trends

Definition of Curriculum

educational outcome.
In education, a curriculum is broadly defined as the
totality of student experience that occur in the
educational process.

college.

Definition of Trends

A general direction in
which something is
developing or changing.

Three trends

1.Digital delivery
2.Interest driven
3.Skill 2.0

Digital delivery
No longer shackled to books as their only source of content, educators and students
are going online to find reliable, valuable, and up-to-the-minute information.
With the Internet, teachers and student will move beyond the traditional textbook. As
augmented reality begins to become more mainstream, "books" such as this may soon
become outdated when people can interact more physically with their information.
Sites like Shmoops fun-focused content on everything from SAT prep to the Civil
War; Googles Education apps and sources that teachers can use as teaching tools,
such as the Sketch Up design software and Google Earth are just a few of the free,
easily accessible sources available online.
Add to that sites like the Khan Academy, a collection of thousands of YouTube
videos that teach everything from calculus to the French Revolution, TeacherTubes
collection of content, books that have been turned into YouTube videos.

Digital delivery
The open-source movement has further pushed online content to include
learners and educators in the actual content-creating process. Wikipedia was
one of the first open-source sites, and though many still question the
accuracy of Wikipedia entries.
For both K-12 schools and higher education, sites like MIT Open
SourceWare that publishes almost all the universitys content for students,
Open Educational Resources, Curriki, Merlot, Connexions, CK12,
Scitable, and Hippocampus offer their own expert-written, vetted content.
But more importantly, they allow educators and students to add, edit, and
change the order of all the information on those sites according to their own
needs.

Interest driven
The term "student centered" learning is not new, but new
technologies allow students to pursue their own interests
more easily than before. By allowing each student to pursue
his or her passion, educators are seeing that students are
more engaged in their own learning.
students interests is directly correlated to their
achievement but a growing movement is being propelled by
the explosive growth in individualized learning technology.

Interest driven
for example,
Forest Lake Elementary School in South Carolina, where
the entire school is built around personalized learning
while schools in Portland, Maine, that are
entirely project based. Beyond even bribing them with
shiny gadgets, educators are sparking their students love
of learning by figuring out what theyre interested in.
The better way is to motivate each student to learn
through his or her passion.

Skill 2.0
Eleven years into the 21st century, the buzz words 21st
century skills are being thrown around in describing
what needs to be taught in schools: real-world readiness.
Things like
collaboration, innovation, critical thinking, and communic
ation
are thought to be just as important.
Getting information from the Internet has been likened to
getting a sip of water from a fire hydrant. Students must
have the skills to "leverage the collective wisdom that
thrives on the Internet" by navigating the many sources of

Skill 2.0
To make sense of the deluge of information online, to
learn what to trust, what to dismiss, to be able to
find the gold that exists in the infinite number of Google
searches. To know how and what to contribute to the
online global community, and how to be responsible digital
citizens.
Instead of learning from others who have the credentials
to teach in this new networked world, we learn with
others whom we seek (and who seek us) on our own and
with whom we often share nothing more than a passion
for knowing. wites by Will Richardson.

Given the growing momentum of these trends, what does it mean for students,
teachers, schools, and the education community at large?

1. Collaborating and customizing.

.Educators are learning to work together, with their students, and with other
experts in creating content, and are able to tailor it to exactly what they need.
2. Critical thinking.
.Students are learning how to effectively find content and to discern reliable
sources.
2. Democratizing education.
.With Internet access becoming more ubiquitous, the children of the poorest
people are able to get access to the same quality education as the wealthiest.

themselves relevant to their digital audience.
