Imagine the difference between the vision of 1:1 compared to 1:World. The real revolution is not that every student has a digital device. The real revolution is access to massive amounts of information and people (teamwork) around the world. In 1:World thinking the emphasis on staff development shifts from technical training to the classroom management skills of a globally connected classroom.
How do teachers manage their own continuous improvement?
How do we build powerful communities of educators who are sharing best practices?
How do we empower students to manage unlimited and constantly exploding sources of (very good and very bad) information?
How do we teach students to connect globally for a wide range of collaborative work?
How do we balance the political expectations of standard assessments with the opportunity to be innovative and creative?
How do we engage the whole family in the education process?
While a one word change does not guarantee improvement, it can give your school community a clear vision of where we are headed.
