Transcript

1. Cultivating Dispositions for a world of unprecedented complexity Thomas Steele-Maley From Atoms to Bits and Beyond
2. “The future belongs to those who can imagine it, design it, and execute it. While others try to predict the future….we create it….” - Sheikh Muhammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum
3. CONTEMPORARY VISIONS DESIGN EXAMPLES INTO THE FLOW
6. • Body Level One • Body Level Two • Body Level Three • Body Level Four • Body Level Five 6 Disruption. Erupting. The future will be about designing for a world of unprecedented complexity.
7. Understanding the world and how to design, prototype and study it to transform human potential is a critical need for students. We must open studio time and spaces focused on making and learning with things that learn. Through creating in connected technology architectures students cultivate design thinking, self-organized learning, new forms of robotics, and computational thinking as they explore the trillions of data points that drive the networked world (The Internet of Things). A Contemporary Vision for Technology and Innovation
8. • Body Level One • Body Level Two • Body Level Three • Body Level Four • Body Level Five 8 “The school of the future must be able to experiment, learn, test, and teach its students how to do the same. Mickey McManus CEO MAYA Design
9. We need to suspend our disbelief that education can change.
10. CASE STUDIES

15. GEMS WORLD ACADEMY - CHICAGO New Visions of Mobile Learning
16. GEMS World Academy-Chicago employs four pioneering innovation strands to support and inspire our students, as they become global citizens. Focus is on creating “translocal understanding” to explicitly develop the key dispositions in students necessary to learn, live and work in extended partnership with others across the world. Learner as Researcher Field Studies Based Mobile Learning Connected Learning School as a Mesh Network

29. RESEARCH, DESIGN, EXPERIMENT, ITERATE From Ideas to Meaning Making
30. –Nassim Taleb “Milk uncertainty and try to exploit disorder”
31. TECHNOLOGY IS THE EASY PART DESIGN AND PERSPECTIVE ARE ESSENTIAL OUT OF THE “LAB” INTO THE LEARNING ECOLOGY
33. • Body Level One • Body Level Two • Body Level Three • Body Level Four • Body Level Five 33 Learner Perspective Design and practice are of vital importance for learning from the personal and educational needs and interests of the learners themselves. Societal Perspective Design and practice focused on problems and issues that seem relevant for inclusion from the perspective of societal trends and needs. Knowledge Perspective Design and practice cultivate academic and cultural heritage that seems essential for learning and future development. Perspectives to Guide The Use of Innovation and Technology in Education
