*People will change jobs 4 times   before turning 32
*Most students now are entrepreneurs and have their own pace for learning
* Teachers provide mini lessons to meet the goals of individual learners.
* There is evidence of younger people having trouble falling asleep earlier. There is a need to revisit school times and schedules.
Overall, we must constantly change to meet the needs of ALL learners.

Teacher roles are changing to meet the needs of incorporating technology in the curriculum...
1) Teachers are moving from the traditional approach to a facilitator
2) Blended Online Learning
3) Professional Development is essential to effectively prepare teachers on incorporating technology
4) Redesign Teacher Education Programs to focus more on technology compared to the traditional approaches

We are trying to educate 21st century students using 20th century techniques.
What if we had schools that operated on a flexible, rotating schedule? What about as a hybrid course?
Learning must become more personalized, self-paced, project-based, problem-engaging, virtual and exploratory; all at the appropriate times. The educational arena must help students to "visualize" their future; to see the ideals/ purposes of high-skilled, high demand occupations.
Students must see the purpose behind the learning.

The article revealed that "technology empowers teachers to assemble global communities of practice and allows students to collaborate with each other regardless of physical location." 

We found a "freeware, cross-platform instant messaging application for smartphones" called WhatsApp. Students at Ramsay International Baccalaureate High School can collaborate with students at other IB schools in the US and the world. In addition, IB scholars can collaborate across the curriculum as well. 

One major concern is monitoring the discussion with our students with students from other schools.]]> 2017-04-27 20:46:43 UTC https://padlet.com/ewhitehead/3r9maoby6lfh/wish/168757823 Tamisha Jackson and Harriette Thompkins https://padlet.com/ewhitehead/3r9maoby6lfh/wish/168758183 Students as Creaters:  Short-Term Trend:  Driving Ed-Tech Adoption

This article explores the ideas of a digital curriculum through teacher autonomy, working with stakeholders, and creating policy that promotes FairUse.  The students learn to create their own curriculum as educators take risks, students take creative risks and ownership themselves.  An example of what students used to create and produce content is Minecraft.  They took satellite images from the NASA website to simulate concepts that they were studying.  The biggest issue is Copyright issues and credible sources.  ]]> 2017-04-27 20:49:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ewhitehead/3r9maoby6lfh/wish/168758183 Virtual Reality - Shirley Graham-Burrell, Willie Fells III, & Christine Hall https://padlet.com/ewhitehead/3r9maoby6lfh/wish/168758521 Virtual Reality Time-to-Adoption Horizon: Two to Three Years

Goldman Sachs recently estimated that virtual and augmented reality entertainment revenue will reach $3.2 billion by 2025, while the education sector will attract 15 million users.

primary focus on gaming, video, and photo experiences, tether to computers and contain a pair of screens and lenses that generate a stereoscopic 3D image as well as sensors that monitor users’ movements to adjust the images accordingly.337 This technology is also branching out beyond gaming platforms; in the last year, smartphone users have seen an influx of low cost VR options. The Samsung Gear VR and Google Cardboard both leverage smartphones’ built-in screens and sensors. By 2025, the market for content on these platforms is projected to reach $5.4 billion.

 

Alchemy Learning has equipped the school with a virtual lab. Similar partnerships have potential to address infrastructure challenges faced by many schools that cannot support and maintain certified lab spaces.345 Authentic experiences in VR can also stimulate students’ interest in STEM careers. La Plaza, a nonprofit Latino community organization based out of Indianapolis, recently organized a STEM workshop to introduce Time-to-Adoption Horizon: Two to Three Years 43 youth to 3D graphics and virtual reality.

Pitfalls – motion sickness, interfacing perversion, autistic students, replacement of teachers (virtual teachers), online testing – infrastructure. Reaction to shut downs.

The wearable format enables the convenient integration of tools into users’ everyday lives, allowing seamless tracking of personal data such as sleep, movement, location, and social media interactions. In today’s society many users are health conscious. This has brought about the need to purchase fitbits, step walking trackers even those that track your bits and what you eat.  In the law enforcement arena, many police officers have come under fire for how they have handled arrests of citizens. This has triggered a nation-wide effort for all law enforcement agencies to arm their departments with body cameras as a way to record evidence of an arrest.

 Smart devices can be worn almost anywhere on your body.
