Session Discussion for my NECC Presentation

Thought I was getting up way to early this morning.  Now I see that the clock by my bed was about three hours slow.  That could have ended disastrously!

I just posted my session forum discussion on the NECC08 Ning site, and would love your feedback.  To get there, point your browser to:

Our Students ? Our Worlds
David Warlick ? Monday, 6/30/2008 ? 12:30pm?1:30pm ? HGCC Lila Cockrell Theatre
Spotlight Presentation

Description: The world is flattening, and not just economically. Learn about three converging conditions that are redefining education?and providing windows to the future. In this presentation, I will seek to examine and factor together three foundational disruptive conditions that are converging on our schools, each serving to disrupt schooling as we know it, yet also providing direction as we work toward new models for teaching and learning — Learning 2.0.

My Question: What do you believe are the fundamental disruptive conditions that are demanding a new kind of education institution?

  1. I will throw the fundamental disruptive condition into the pot of visualization of today’s society.

    Meaning- look around us and what technology does for us. It really gives us “eyes” into places we have never had before. It allows us to reshape and make sense of information that we never had to deal with. It allows us to “look” into worlds and collaborate with people like never before. If we don’t teach our students how to “see” then they will not know what they are looking at.

    In a quite literal sense. We are being exposed to some much visualization that we need to show our students how to take all the media that they are exposed to and come up with new schemas.
