Editor's Notes
What we want to do is take a look at the things that drove us to the program
Cultural drivers that come into play..world our kids live in impacts the way they interact and the skills they need and we have to respond to those drivers – choice to fight them or leverage them- need to understand them to do either and many of us don’t
4 yr old story – Media(education) target at you that doesn’t include you may not be worth sitting still for.
Evolution of Literacy because of cultural drivers
We looked at Nets, 21steentruy partnership NREL and developed our own articulation of literacyArthur Costa and BenaKallickhttp://www.habits-of-mind.net/
Types of tools, shifts in curriculum- move to 24-7- began to need computers all the time – maybe for short time, want kids to install the plugins
Diagnostic – blog reflections to clarify misconceptions, webassign pretests, Formative – reflection, peer review on blogs, dyknow,
All the above, cultural drivers and internal transformation lead to esential understanding
We might want it to stay like it is/was but there are
Lead to decision to provide kids with not a tablet but a PLE
