L@S Keynote: Scott McLeod

Two big shifts and one big problem: The growing disconnects between schools and our digital, global society

"Leadership shifts need to happen...  if I could have just an hour with those people"

Another keynote about how technology has changed.  I tuned out, but have tuned back in to hear Scott talk about the printing press!!!

Publishing costs.
We all have a voice.
For free.

...

I think he has been talking about the faster cheaper deficit.  With products and services being provided faster, cheaper, with the tech interface rather than the human jobs and careers need to change.  Therefore, education needs to change so we can prepare our students for THE REAL WORLD.
I think we do this better at High than most other schools, but how can we still do this better?

Ok so this guy is saying some good stuff, but he has started telling us that we need to do stuff like teaching kids how to adjust their privacy settings on Facebook rather than ban it.  This sort of stuff has been told to us before, but no-one yet has suggested solutions, practical actions for educators.

He is asking "big questions"  with no discussion of answers.

Battery low..
