Learning Technologist. Open Mind. Open Heart. Global Citizen.
The 2017 K-12 NMC Report: This is a short slide set to use to begin conversations amongst educators about the key trends they think will impact on their work and accelerate tech adoption into their practice. It asks for them to think about where they think it is heading as well as then showing the trends identified by the Report over the Long (more than 5 years), medium (3 to 4 years) and short term (less than 1 year).
Being a lead learner, staying curious, discovering new knowledge & then thinking about how this can connect to what you know & develop understanding. All things I see as new basics for a learning designer, a learning architect, a lead learner and a learning technologist. Have a play with this and see where it takes you.
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.
