Slide Notes
Rather than focus on what you need to be doing as a contemporary Educator, as a collection of things in the future, why not focus on some of the things you can start doing today?

Rather than focus on where we need to head as contemporary Educators in some horizon we are chasing, why not focus on some of the things we need to be doing today? You know we are 14 years into the 21st Century so we need a new label for what it is that we are supposed to be doing. Find a new label as soon as you can. I like the notion of Teachers and Educators becoming Learning Architects where being a Lead Learner is part of what you do on a daily basis.

The flying car might not have become mainstream yet, but we have the equivalent when it comes to teaching and learning.
Buckle up and let's get moving.

OK, you understand we are 14 years into the 21st Century? Start thinking mid Century Learning Design or anything else but 21st
Seriously, the whole notion of 21st Century Learning Design is becoming slightly old hat. Think contemporary Educator. Think Learning Architecture, anything but 21st Century, please.

Blogging
- You understand the importance of sharing
- You connect your previous knowledge to new thinking
- You connect to the thinking of others
- You share your messy thinking & questions as they happen
- You seek feedback and learning from others
A new basic for contemporary educators is to share your thoughts, questions, ideas and wonderings with a global audience.
Think Twitter, medium.com or a wordpress? Others?
You might like to listen to Marco Torres talk about sharing the messy thinking Educators do and the importance of this

as a Lead Learner behaviour and practice to develop.

Pd is virtual
- You don't expect to learn everything in a workshop
- You understand that networked PD is powerful
- You think deeply & contribute beyond the temporal
- Connections create context to content, powerfully
- You know you can pass the test & not understand
The days of learning everything you need to know from a temporal workshop are well and truly over, well mostly.
When you participate in a workshop and learn something new, on-share this through your networks.
Become a globally connected and contributing Educator. You will be all the better for it and so will we.

networked
- You access learning community
- You understand networked dialogue
- You participate & contribute digitally
- You can use a #
- Your knowledge is increasingly networked
I am reading 'Too Big To Know' and I am convinced it is a must read for Educators.
The way knowledge is morphing and the question of when is a fact a fact intrigues me?
Grovo.com is a great site for people who are just beginning to get their heads around the use of social media platforms like Twitter.
Seely-Brown http://vimeo.com/49645115 really shifted my thinking about what my work is. This animation of his keynote will hopefully validate, or do the same for your thinking.

connect daily
- You access twitter on a daily basis
- You have global connections and conversations
- You are a Lead Learner
- #edchat has meaning for you
- Intentional new learning as Vitamin C
The first 10 minutes of my morning, and the last 10 minutes of my evening, are spent checking my Twitter feed.
I like to think of it as my daily thinking and learning vitamin capsule.
Every day I find something that validates, provokes or changes my thinking and raises questions.
The connected conversations I now have would not have been possible a few years ago. So I am a happy man.
Micro-blogging is a new basic for every Educator. I know you have something to contribute, a thought, an idea, a question, a wondering?

Digital Citizen
- You understand what this means
- You seek diverse opinion
- Your way of knowing is A way
- You explore
- Basic skills are necessary but not sufficient
There is a reductionist, one narrative, basic skill agenda that is increasingly popular in some conversations about teaching and learning.
Beware. There is no one story. A focus on the basics is an important chapter. It is not the whole story.
I would be lost without the challenge of diverse opinion that is part of my connected, online world.
Bringing these thinkings into my physical world and conversations is something I thrive on.
Think global and think Team Digital.

Lead Learn
- Peking duck
- Points on the curriculum
- Points on the interest scale
- Capacity to support learning discovery
- Self organise, growth mindset
There is an old Chinese proverb that states if you wait for a Peking Duck to fly into your mouth, it would take a very, very long time.
Leave the closed midset behind and embrace a growth mindset.
Sure, you might have to move from being confident and comfortable with what you know and for a time embrace the clumsy, chaotic and challenging uncertainty of new learning. You are a contemporary Educator and Lead Learner so you will be OK.
Remember that the longer you leave it the harder it will be to make a start.
Don't worry though, there are plenty of people out there who will gladly give you a helping hand.
Not sure about something? Rather than Google it, you might have a go at Youtubing it, and seeing what that brings up for you. Why not try growth mindset?

Participatory Culture
- seek
- follow
- gather
- explore
- from content to context
Content was once King. The King is dead. Context is the new King. Long live context. If you want to get your head around how important this is, start researching Connectivism.
As we have already come to understand, knowledge is increasingly networked.
Another area you might want to have an exploration of is Dialogic Teaching and The Motivational Interview Process.
Connectivism is something you need to know about:

I don't know
- You use Youtube to learn
- You use #questions
- Pareto
- Sturgeon's Law
- You virtually subscribe
Think 80/2, this is an important number combination, why?
Take a look at this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_principle
You will encounter a great deal of it, at times. So this is a handy piece of thinking to keep in mind:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturgeon's_law
See that subscribe button on the webpage? Hit it and quarantine part of your day to read and think.
As I said previously, if you don't know how to do something, or need help understanding, then Youtube is your new best friend, at times?

24 7 28
- 24, daily new learning & thinking
- 7, weekly new learning & thinking
- 28 days, things are different, new & improved
- You make change deliberately, to improve
This is something I have been playing with for awhile.
I wanted to be able to use a frame that would allow me to deliberately consider the new things/thinking I needed to be focused on for a period of a month.
It helps me to make the new behaviour, or thinking, part of my daily habit and makes me commit to agreements with myself and others for a defined length of time.
So, if I do this I tend to stick to the new approaches I am attempting to take on.

2&20, You make 20% of what you do things you couldn't/didn't do 2 years ago
Here is another one I am playing with. 2&20
I have created some graphics on my Twitter account for this:
https://twitter.com/pkcc1/status/488848905371516928/photo/1
The idea is that you deliberately make about a fifth of what you do as an Educator:
things, processes, methods, tools & so on,
things that could not have been part of what you did 2 years ago. Remember to be purposeful for the most part.
It is my contemporary Lead Learner filter.

If you are connected, keep connecting & connect with others who are yet to connect. In short, 'Be the change you want to see'.
