Group 4 - Drivers of Change by Christina Basias https://padlet.com/cbasias3/w9d3ke6suy64 Consider: 1. Which driver stands out to you? Why? 2. How does this driver relate to education and education in your school? en-us 2019-02-08 02:45:45 UTC 2025-11-08 04:03:16 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Rocket.png cbasias3 https://padlet.com/cbasias3/w9d3ke6suy64/wish/329056619 2019-02-08 02:45:45 UTC https://padlet.com/cbasias3/w9d3ke6suy64/wish/329056619 cbasias3 https://padlet.com/cbasias3/w9d3ke6suy64/wish/329056621 2019-02-08 02:45:45 UTC https://padlet.com/cbasias3/w9d3ke6suy64/wish/329056621 cbasias3 https://padlet.com/cbasias3/w9d3ke6suy64/wish/329056622 2019-02-08 02:45:45 UTC https://padlet.com/cbasias3/w9d3ke6suy64/wish/329056622 cbasias3 https://padlet.com/cbasias3/w9d3ke6suy64/wish/329056624 2019-02-08 02:45:45 UTC https://padlet.com/cbasias3/w9d3ke6suy64/wish/329056624 cbasias3 https://padlet.com/cbasias3/w9d3ke6suy64/wish/329056625 2019-02-08 02:45:45 UTC https://padlet.com/cbasias3/w9d3ke6suy64/wish/329056625 When I think of "accelerating brains," I can't help but wonder "to what end?" or "why?" At some point, we'll have to wrestle with the ethics of our own inventions. We can rebuild brain capacity for Alzheimer's patients but do we run the risk of allowing people to hack our minds? Interesting but daunting landscape. mbooz1 https://padlet.com/cbasias3/w9d3ke6suy64/wish/330608710 2019-02-12 23:27:01 UTC https://padlet.com/cbasias3/w9d3ke6suy64/wish/330608710 Everything's Relative Seanjay https://padlet.com/cbasias3/w9d3ke6suy64/wish/330608761 I was struck by the "contemporary-ness" of this one. It led me to do a little searching for older versions of "Drivers of Change" but the rabbit hole is too deep. Now my brain has automatically jumped to the next round: what are the drivers of change in 20 years?]]> 2019-02-12 23:27:19 UTC https://padlet.com/cbasias3/w9d3ke6suy64/wish/330608761 As an English teacher, I am more and more preoccupied with the phenomenology surrounding this area. How will predictive choices influence our experiences? How will they perpetuate the biases of the humans who inform them (the authors)? How will they perpetuate the biases of their audience and propel us into echo chambers? How is it possible to have "choices" when they are automated, and how will this mitigate our critical thinking and concepts of free will? bredgate https://padlet.com/cbasias3/w9d3ke6suy64/wish/330608993 2019-02-12 23:28:10 UTC https://padlet.com/cbasias3/w9d3ke6suy64/wish/330608993 kelsey_chavez https://padlet.com/cbasias3/w9d3ke6suy64/wish/330609078 Automating Choices stands out to me because of how integrated this is in all our lives and how much more it will become prevalent. When it comes to education, the efficiency can have some negative "consequences like over-monitoring" our students. ]]> 2019-02-12 23:28:34 UTC https://padlet.com/cbasias3/w9d3ke6suy64/wish/330609078 Engaging our Superstudents sebrinia_madsen https://padlet.com/cbasias3/w9d3ke6suy64/wish/330609205 I was truly fascinated with the idea of technology advancing civic engagement and the opportunities to influence and give voice to issues that are important to individuals. I would love to see how we can foster our student's elastic thinking to engage more with their communities, create platforms for the issues that are important to them and empower them to influence their futures.

It's frustrating because it's hard to "spin" a story you don't know exist. kdcohran https://padlet.com/cbasias3/w9d3ke6suy64/wish/330609215 2019-02-12 23:29:26 UTC https://padlet.com/cbasias3/w9d3ke6suy64/wish/330609215 Automated Recommendation adalyn029 https://padlet.com/cbasias3/w9d3ke6suy64/wish/330609337 This is an area that is ever increasing. The idea of predictive technology. ]]> 2019-02-12 23:30:09 UTC https://padlet.com/cbasias3/w9d3ke6suy64/wish/330609337 Free Choice? mdueltgen https://padlet.com/cbasias3/w9d3ke6suy64/wish/330609361 Automating choice stands out to me because I feel as though it has the potential to classify someone based on a couple of key strikes on a computer.  Is it a true representation of who I am and what I want or need?  It feels more like an invasion to me. For example, if I search for a pair of jeans online in one platform I have noticed that all my social media is populated with advertisements for similar/same items.

Also, why does my phone know where my home or work is without my telling it? If the phone knows who else knows? 

 I am not paranoid, but where is the line for privacy?  I think the more automated we become the more we are necessarily moving that line.]]> 2019-02-12 23:30:20 UTC https://padlet.com/cbasias3/w9d3ke6suy64/wish/330609361 Toxic Narratives caught my attention because the high level of anxiety that I see my students experiencing as they are applying to colleges and jobs. The uncertainty of what college to apply to, what to major in or do I have the right skills to get this job are having huge impacts on their emotional well being. fprak https://padlet.com/cbasias3/w9d3ke6suy64/wish/330609397 2019-02-12 23:30:33 UTC https://padlet.com/cbasias3/w9d3ke6suy64/wish/330609397 Would we lose our individual freedoms and national sovereignty to a remaking of the world geography in the name of technology and said social advancement? The history of the world is limited in terms of empires guarding liberty and sustaining the common good. I have concerns with artificial intelligence as a basis for potential policy decision-making, with potential social engineering abuses and with potential reinforcement sanctions for dissent or disagreement. james_espinoza https://padlet.com/cbasias3/w9d3ke6suy64/wish/330609458 I think it relates to education in terms of socialization and norming the future.

It potentially relates to my school in terms of becoming a frame for evolving what it means to be a global leader, one of our site's SLO's.

I need to learn more about this reform movement and what is meant by the Drivers for Change, including, Remaking Geographies.

This driver relates to education because it encourages students to learn how to utilize their own strength within their own communities to further drive their own learning experiences. In other words, it keeps education local and gives students the ability to impact and give back to those living around them.

I would like to hear more about this. bredgate https://padlet.com/cbasias3/w9d3ke6suy64/wish/330609809 2019-02-12 23:32:37 UTC https://padlet.com/cbasias3/w9d3ke6suy64/wish/330609809 us autraadams https://padlet.com/cbasias3/w9d3ke6suy64/wish/330609866 2019-02-12 23:32:53 UTC https://padlet.com/cbasias3/w9d3ke6suy64/wish/330609866 Flexibility to adapt to drivers? sebrinia_madsen https://padlet.com/cbasias3/w9d3ke6suy64/wish/330610135 As I reflect on how these drivers of change are going to impact future jobs and opportunities for our students, I find myself also wondering how flexible are our schools (secondary and PS) to adjust the pathways and concurrent enrollment we offer to consider these drivers?]]> 2019-02-12 23:34:07 UTC https://padlet.com/cbasias3/w9d3ke6suy64/wish/330610135 fischer6 https://padlet.com/cbasias3/w9d3ke6suy64/wish/330610489 One of the important aspects of our program's missions is the empowerment of students toward  their participation in a democratic society. That's why critical thinking is so important to our teachers. I think that the *engagement* part of this process is harder to achieve and we are working on that, too. The digital components of this Driver--I am almost entirely clueless about that! I have not noticed students making huge use of even social media for things like mobilizing others widely--it's more socially connected (so one person puts a "call" onto her social media and then 10 friends individually pass it along--but no one is getting  10 "likes" individually).

The have's and the have not's is prevalent in more and more situations. Schools want the smartest students enrolled, thus the students that need more help or interventions are labeled and having a mental disparity. Which also widens the gap. ]]> 2019-02-12 23:53:04 UTC https://padlet.com/cbasias3/w9d3ke6suy64/wish/330613379 Remaking Geographies dr_zinaparker https://padlet.com/cbasias3/w9d3ke6suy64/wish/330614225 Communities are working to remake themselves in the face of deep transitions.
