The document discusses preparing students for an uncertain future where jobs and technologies do not yet exist. It emphasizes developing skills like adaptability and interacting with other cultures. Emerging technologies that could impact education in the next few years include electronic books, augmented reality, gesture-based computing, and visual data analysis. For technology to best support learning, it should inform but not dictate educational decisions and be backed by effective support. Connectivity and virtual learning environments may allow for anywhere, anytime education involving multiple remote participants.
Challenges, change and trends 2011
- 1. Derek Wenmoth Director, eLearning CORE Education Ltd
- 2. • Who are our learners? • What are we preparing them for? • How are we preparing them for this? • What are the implications of connectivity for learning and schooling?
- 4. • 2008 - born 16 February • 2010 - start pre-school • 2013 - start school • 2023 - sit first NCEA exams • 2026 - enter workforce
- 5. • The top ten in-demand jobs in 2010 did not exist in 2004 • We are preparing students for jobs that don’t yet exist • Using technologies that haven’t been invented • In order to solve problems we don’t even know are problems yet.
- 6. • In a world that is increasingly globalised • Where interactions with other cultures, other languages and other ways of doing things will be the norm • Where the ability to move smoothly between and among these contexts will differentiate those who are successful.

- 33. Technology changes the way the world works. As technology evolves, so must the skill sets of those who use it. In order to remain competitive tomorrow, today’s students need to develop techniques that readily adapt to changes as they occur. http://www.ncrel.org/engauge/skills/engauge21st.pdf http://www.unctv.org/education/teachers_childcare/.../skillsbrochure.pdf

- 35. a. ICT has a powerful defining impact on all important aspects of our lives and hence our culture" b. The ICT revolution is a part of a group of intertwined revolutions that in the past 20 years have been transforming Western culture from a modern into a postmodern culture"
- 36. • A minimum emphasis - not a comfortable option " • Getting technology to serve the system - supporting the existing structures" • Merge and evolve - adapt and respond to new possibilities"
- 37. Schools that are well resourced in technology and show the greatest improvement in results have the following characteristics: (p.20) • Technology informs rather than leads decisions about teaching and learning • Resource decisions are addressed head-on, with a move to more flexible approaches • There is effective technical support that is seen as a central element of the whole school strategy • There is a realistic expectation of the level of support, including development time, needed to change the educational practice of teachers
- 42. Anywhere, any time, any device learning
- 44. Being able to participate in real time with multiple others from around the world
- 47. Internet School A School KAREN School A School Aggregation University Point Services Public Library School A School
- 49. • Who are our learners? • What are we preparing them for? • How are we preparing them for this? • What are the implications of connectivity for learning and schooling?
