The World is Changing
Think about how much the world has changed just since you and I went to school? How about how much it has changed since your parents went to school? Watch the following clips and listen to the podcasts and react below with your thinking about how the world has changed and the rate at which change is occurring. What does it take to be a global learner? Why is that important?

Students Are Changing
Have children changed over time? New brain research suggests they have. Watch [|Growing Up Digital] Do you agree with John Dewey and John Seely Brown? Do you agree that self-guided learning is the way kids learn best today? How do you feel about the potential of educational gaming- or is it just techno-hype?

Another way that students have changed is demographically. [|Watch this clip] How your school's demographic has changed over the last five years? Do you feel that ELL students have different instructional needs? What types of instructional delivery do you feel works best for these kids? Where does Web 2.0 play in that dynamic?

Today's learner has been given different [|opportunities for learning] than you and I had. Traditionally, most of the opportunities for learning didn't happen within schools. Think of ancient Greece. How could the apprenticeship model play out today? Would helping your students develop personal learning networks enable them to have some of the depth and diversity in learning that students in the past experienced?

Originally [|public schools in America] consisted of mostly elementary schools. Today, most people feel that high school education is a necessary part of a good life. Do you agree?

This video looks at Gatto's idea of [|Empty Children]. This list of tacit curriculum is very provocative. What is your take? Agree/disagree?

Change is NEEDED so we do not have children with six hour handicaps
Have you ever known a child that in school was an at-risk learner, but outside of school was competent and capable? How about a student who comes back to see you years after they graduate and you find out they became much more successful than you ever thought possible.

[|Well this video explains why.]

Jane Mercer's research proves that many kids we think are handicapped are simply situationally handicapped.
