what

why

I notice my colleagues are creating/presenting incredible lessons.

I know incredible students are attending their classes.

That should be a perfect mash-up.. but it's not.

1) research: listen

2) results: every answer is different

3) solution: individualize/personalize

online course

Teachers' roles are now as diverse as students, many are facilitators of these ple connections, others enhance their content expertise, meeting with students individually or in small groups by appointment, creating podcast lectures for other's in their content to use. each teacher designs their own pd.

starting at 2:06

innovation lab

the Innovation Lab is only a part of Your School-

4 years in: will probably only include 10% of students/teachers

in district (or is it admin of the future?)

biggest group will probably be......blended..?

1) student created/enhanced courses

2 pre-req's

1) passion

2) gift back ie: end of yr module for techer to offer class

2) students as tech interns to classrooms

allows teachers to model learning in class rather than cram more tech knowledge on their own

3) students as media interns to the library

library as verb - hub of the school - huge way to obtain web access for many who don't have it at home

safety and ethics

4) students as marketing interns to the community

worthy acitivities to the community - so that different decisions can be made about how money is spent and how access is administered at school

The community is now well informed because of the fridge worthy communication piece, but also because of students upgraded role as active community members. No more stress over what is going on in school, dinner conversations are riveting..

foundational and sustaining

Q&A

how do we prove success, scalability, leveling?

validity vs reliability

how can to mangage it,

will there be enough expert tutors?

Will kids learn what they need to learn?

(this question always has implied - academics)

k- 8th grade - kids attain all that we deem "foundational content" but they do most of it through gaming, and programming and logic.

9-12 - becomes a quasi college - where kids start branching off into distinct , he and his tutor join in a pln based out of both mit and csu working on the same project.

beyond 12 - quasi career - already happening and termed, incubators, where companies pay student's tuition in return for their innovative ideas

in the future

what if a kid changes their passion?

goal was - learn how to learn

part of facilitators role, focus on process

ok... how exactly will we validate?

a) begin with past research ie: of like situations where passion has led to remarkable rigor {mindset has a ton, so does the element}

b) 2010-2011 - beacause it's first year: IL facilitator and expert tutors, PLUS - 1 teacher in district

c) video log/blog - starting here: http://tsdinnovationlab.tumblr.com/archive

d) compare activity systems mapping,between expert tutor and student.

with the belief that deep practice grows myelin best {tal

how do we scale - reach all kids?

a true disruption of 4 years or less

{start out low cost/low impact - so anyone can do it and those who don't are bothered}

video log for pd and pre-teach training to network out

course at csu for pln, class of pre-teachers doing this with us

how do we level - reach all kinds of kids?

pre-req is passion, sustainance is pln, not grades or past

the accessibility is differentiated to inifinity

how can/should i/we start?

Joe (student) excels in science, he's planning a career in it. His hs pace seems too slow for him so he picks up a course built special for him from some mit lectures. The next year, he creates his own course - someone who's like as his future employer becomes his expert tutor, he and his tutor join in a pln based out of both mit and csu working on the same project.

Jane (student) wants to be a neuro surgeon. She is taking 4 AP classes ..so her school schedule is full, but she loves a challenge and wanted a type of internship to get started on her passion to find out what it’s really like. We apply and get her an NSF fellow to do research with. She spends time in the lab in the summer and off hours through the year.

She follows: http://twitter.com/egfi and http://www.egfi-k12.org/about/

She works as a junior fellow to share her experience with a general bio class at her school and 7 other schools in her state, as well as sharing it on Student 2.0 http://www.students20.com/

Bill (student) is unable to take music classes in school because can’t read music. Bill has written many songs and sees songwriting as a possible future. Bill designs a course to make an awesome 12 song cd - check his video here: tinyurl.com/2fsewrm

Fred (teacher) says his dream course would be to design and build bikes. We find 2 students with like passions. Max (student) is going to build a pln (with Fred as one of the expert tutors.) By the end of year - Max plans to gift back to Fred - some modules he can use to create a class the following year.

work

the new currency, authentic, unmasked, usefully ignorant

low cost, low impact, permeating over time

when you are so passionate about it you'd do almost anything to give it away

standard opportunity or access vs standard content

can gain intelligence.. so everything is open for learning, esp failure

work is where we get the least done

has to be proven over time...often trumped by reliability-oriented thinkers

we don't need to be more creative, we just need to ship more
