This workshop looks amazing.
Would love to see the notes when it's done.
Love cutting back standards and focusing on habits of mind.
Wes,
I'll be there tomorrow and am looking forward to it.
A few thoughts--
classroom changes--what does your classroom look like? One of our students on our student feedback panel said today--that the way the room is arranged affects how she approaches learning. Similar to what Clarence Fisher said in K12Online presentation--I think this is important that we think about what classrooms "look like."
Relationships--relationship building is an important part of changes at the classroom and school level. (particularly if we are looking at making global connections).
I agree that on the school level--reexamining the school day is important. It's also important to reexamine the school day in terms of staff development--how do we give teachers enough time to learn all these new tools, technologies--and time to discuss shifting the paradigm? It can't be imposed-the changes will have to organically arise for that school.
Great outline--I'm really looking forward to the keynote tomorrow!

I think we must do everything in our power to make the environments that kids learn in look and feel like the world they must function in. If this means partnering with industry and professionals or anyone else, we should do no less. Kids must practice for the real game of life with the real tools of life, anything less is cheating them and possibly crippling them for their own futures. The clock is already ticking and has been for some time.
