Keynote Address - Part one

Time is running out: Keeping up with the Net Generation

Description
As the people of the world are becoming increasingly connected, the nature, use, ownership, and purpose of knowledge are changing in profound ways. Our goal as educators is to leverage these connections and changes as powerful means to improve teaching and learning in our schools.

Using digital media and web-based tools, students are:
  • building their own learning experiences,
  • constructing meaning, and
  • collaborating in teams to solve authentic content-based problems.
Many teachers who use these empowering technologies are now discovering we can have rigor without sacrificing excitement.

Come listen as Sheryl stirs a sense of urgency for shifting classroom practice toward more engaging approaches that reach all students in this digital age. Sheryl invites you to discuss this and (other 21st Century teaching and learning topics) on her blog: http://21stcenturylearning.typepad.com/blog
