We Live In A 3D World
How do we think about the integration of
technology with learning? Is it simply a
substitute for existing practice – or does it open
up opportunities for new things in new ways?

• What skills/knowledge/ competencies do we need to be developing now in order to cope with what the future might hold?
• How do we prepare for the emerging ethical, moral and societal change issues that will emerge?
NEED FOR DIGITAL LITERACY
We must equip our students with the knowledge, capabilities and values essential to participate fully and safely in an increasingly digital world.
“The fundamental basis of the education system is fatally flawed…
In 1970 the top three skills required by the Fortune 500 were the three Rs: reading, writing, and arithmetic.
In 1999 the top three skills in demand were teamwork, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills.
We need schools that are developing these skills.”
Linda Darling-Hammond

Jane Gilbert
“We’re still working within the same twentieth-century framework. The thinking hasn’t changed. It’s just couching what we’ve already done in much fancier production values. It looks cooler and more digitised, but the underlying educational objectives have not changed.”

THE CHANGING NATURE OF KNOWLEDGE
• Knowledge is not an object, but a series of flows; it is a process, not a product
• Knowledge is produced not in the minds of people but in the interactions between people
• The idea of acquiring knowledge, as a series of truths, is obsolete
