2. The New Education Paradigm
There is an urgency for schools to make the transition to
the new education paradigm as learners have already
made the transition and are becoming increasingly
disengaged while they wait for the education system to
catch up to how they are learning outside school
(Mark Treadwell, The Conceptual Age and the Revolution, School v2.0, 2008)
6. Learning Communities

7. Teaching as Inquiry
Taking the time to reflect critically on the things
we are doing in our classrooms is perhaps the
most effective thing we can do to ensure that
what we are doing is having the desired
outcomes, and is changing our practice in the
ways we want it to.quot; (Wenmoth, 2007)

16. Some Key Ideas NZC
Students’ learning needs are at the heart of the document
Fostering life long learning
It is about teaching differently
17. Effective Pedagogy
Take 5 min to quietly read and reflect on page 36.
Identify a couple of statements that resonate for you.
The first person shares one of their items; they simply
read out the item.
Each team member comments in round-robin order about
the item, with no cross talk.
When all have commented, the person who named the
item then gets the final word: they paraphrase back key
ideas or trends heard, and then share their own thinking
about the item and why they chose it.

19. Our challenge...
“Schools should explore not only how
ICT can supplement traditional ways of
teaching but also how it can open up
new and different ways of learning.”
(NZC, pg 36)
20. Dialogue...
If quot;schools should explore not only how ICT can
supplement traditional ways of teaching but also
how it can open up new and different ways of
learningquot; (NZC, p.36)... what might your school
and community need to consider when setting a
direction for eLearning and the NZC?
21. What we need to consider:
Our beliefs about elearning
Students actively involved: co construction, knowing the learner
Meaningful contexts
elearning strategies designed and
integrated purposefully
Working collaboratively to develop
new knowledge and
understandings
