2. Are You an old school
or a bold School?

3. Bold schools are steeped in cultures where
everyone, both educators and students, are seen as
learners first. To be fully able to seize the
opportunities that access provides, the adults need
to be engaged in the learning process as much if
not more than the kids in our classrooms. Bold
schools are innovating and inventing in the
classroom and curriculum, poking the box of
traditional education in ways that make sense for
kids.- Are You an Old School or a Bold School (Richardson)

4. Right now, we need bold schools, not old schools. By
that, I mean we need schools to take serious steps to not
only reinvent themselves, but to step out and advocate
for a new, more meaningful definition of what learning
means for our students, one that goes beyond simply
“higher student achievement” or “increased student
performance.”-Are You an Old School or a Bold School (Richardson)

5. Three Realities Facing
Schools
• Reality #1- Web has fundamentally undermined the main
premise upon which our schools and systems were built
• Reality #2- Society, specifically the two-income family, would
be hard-pressed to adjust to millions of school-aged kids
staying home to take courses online
• Reality #3- Individualized, online learning environments will
do a better job of delivering test-passing content and skills to
our students than classrooms will. What is our value in light
of the challenges and opportunities that the Web now brings
to education?”

6. NMC Horizon REport
• The abundance of resources and
relationships made easily
accessible via the Internet is
increasingly challenging us to
revisit our roles as educators in
sense-making, coaching, and
credentialing.
• The world of work is
increasingly collaborative, giving
rise to reflection about the way
student projects are structured

22. Why The iPad?
The ‘agile’ space now created by the introduction of the iPad, although tablet style devices have been
around a while, has yet to be proven as educationally useful; indeed some are not convinced that there is
any need for another ‘space’ in learning technology. However, many of us disagree with this view and
believe products such as the iPad will be central to how many people learn in the coming years. This agile
space has many of the attributes associated with handheld and portable devices whilst also creating new
and innovative ways of using technology. It adds a level of flexibility which has been absent until now.
For example, whilst the iPad won’t exactly fit in most pockets, it is very easily carried from one place to
another and it won’t take a large heavy laptop trolley to trundle 15-20 iPads from one classroom to
another in a school setting. Conversely, it offers the screen size of a small laptop/netbook which is
significantly larger than a handheld device, whilst avoiding the traditional form factor of a hinged-screen
laptop.

23. Why the iPad?
Noah Rahman has moderate Cerebral Palsy affecting his communication, cognition and upper and lower
body movement. When he turned two, his language, cognitive ability and fine motor skills were
diagnosed by a developmental specialist as being at least 12 months behind. Then Noah got an iPad.
Four months later, his language and cognition were on par with his age level. His fine motor skills had
made significant leaps.- Mashable
