A video about 21st Century Skill

Our Flipped homework was to watch a video based on 21st Century Skills.

Notes and ideas from this:
Better teaching of critical thinking
Struggle to change is school's biggest conflict
Change is HARD for schools but is achievable
Change is more about being uncomfortable
Schools are becoming more dynamic and adaptable
Courses/subjected should be constructed
Should aim to have our students be:
  • Creative
  • Adaptive
  • Permeable
  • Dynamic
  • Self-Correcting
  • Systematic
Cognitosphere - system of knowledge creation and management
Where do we want to be?
  • Dewey (John Dewey)
ANCHORS: Adults have created the anchors for students - they restrict students
DAMS: They must fit into a certain box
Silos: what have we created around ourselves that stop us
Schools that aim to change these are pushing students to be able to achieve the aims.
Teach into the unknown - difficult and
Self-Evolving learner - timeless skills
Teach students who can adapt to change and learning
Self-evolving organisations - Teachers need to be able to adapt to support students
Education Innovation: Preparing our students for their future, not our past.
Challenge to Teachers: JUST START DOING IT

“If we teach today as we taught yesterday, we rob our children of tomorrow” John Dewey
