Are you ready for the future?
Education is at a crossroads … Web 2.0
ubiquitous connectivity … new literacies … more data … Web 3.0 ...
more management ...more digital ... more reflection?
Unprecedented age in education?Age of distraction, Age of personalisation
Age of overwhelming data, Age of need for discerning choices
What kind of society are we living in?
Architecture of search engines offer a plethora of knowledge within tenths of milliseconds
In 2012 more than $1 billion in venture capital was poured into education
How does that make you feel?
Data speaks
Cell phones, GPS tracking, web clicks, Twitter - all collect data passively
Collecting and Sorting Information on Massive Scale
Using algorithms to predict trends
How might algorithms predict trends in education?
Professional Social Clubs? Building connections
through data
Your Data is the commerce of the future30 percent of sales due to recommendation engine
Data is so big, it is messy
Data correlations
Do you feel that process whilst overwhelming is also liberating?
Our mindset is shifting
How do you feel without access to your phone, wifi or ability to digitally connect?
The age of hyper-connectivity - altering the way we think?
The illiterate of the 21 Century are not those who cannot read and write but those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn.
Alvin Toffler in Powershift: Knowledge, Wealth and Power at the Edge of the 21st Century

Think
Teaching as managing data Actively teaching how to research so students don’t get distracted or lost ....
Are your students discerning? Are your colleagues
discerning in their searches?
Are teachers and students talking about ‘sorting’ techniques on the Internet?
Are you discussing the art of digital curation?
Sorting
My Itunes Playlist
Who follows what other people listen to?
DJ / radio presenter of music to the world?
Democratisation of information, intellectual
and creative property
Following the Process of Data Production
Who has studied what?
Whose study playlist are you following?
What list have they already been working through?
From the data, how many people are stuck on the same question as you?
What information are they sharing?
How is the teacher managing the playlists, heat maps and work pace?
What does this say for the way that we will assess in the future?
Determined by a daily algorithm
What is ‘Adaptive Learning’?
Instant feedback
Strengths and weaknesses are identified
Students take active role in their learning
Teachers are provided with ‘heatmap’ analytics to optimize students results With real-time
reportsin the big-data era, teaching and learning will change
What is the future for education and dispersal of knowledge?
Textbooks ‘replaced’ by a ream of Internet data and content delivered by presenters on Youtube
Connectivity has altered power dynamicsPower in sharing, connecting, listening and grouping together to solve problems - but isn't that the best way? society that is flourishing? Hopefully the data will contribute to the development of this spirit.
Reaching Out : Lending Through Kiva and monitoring data
Big data is altering the framework of our society
A democratisation of knowledge?Students as bankers, thinking about microfinance, geography and loan ratios
Adapting to the power of the web yet spaces still about people, relationships and trust

The Future of Learning ?
Understanding will be co-created
Google Shared Documents
Allowing students to write collaboratively
How we think about the utilisation of space and our identity in that space, is changing.
Individual, physical, virtual, creative, collaborative, conversational, group
LMS enabled Mini-MOOC
Foucault asserts knowledge is for cutting and rather than pour the students full of knowledge we asked them to deconstruct meaning about ‘flow’ as a large group. We got instant data.
Real power can’t be given it must only be taken
Students need to feel invested in the process
129 Year 8 Students were asked to respond online within 30 minutes to how they felt when they were in a state of flow?
Authoring Tools that Empower Creativity and
Connection ... that also produce data
What are collaborative learning tools are you using?
Creating Meaning, Creating sets of Data
Electronic Portfolios
Reflection, Connection, Creation - are we training ourselves to look for patterns?
peer to peer teaching
Big Data providing greater opportunities? • Adaptive learning - predicting individual needs
• Pedagogy - participatory, collaborative, facilitating connected spaces
• Critical conversations around process to monitor/analyze
