1. KEYNOTE

The future is arriving faster than ever - so how can we actually get learners ready?! 

SCENARIO 2035. 30-70% of jobs have been impacted by robotics and AI. Apps write their own code. Universal Basic Income has replaced the need for ‘work’ to define our lives. Humans are an inter-planetary species. Bio- tech is regularly implanted at birth. BUT how to start with preparing students for any of this?

L I N K S:

*ALSO: Ask about having your own Future Readiness Survey setup so you can track and support your team or project and have full access to their data.

O V E R V I E W S L I D E S :

BONUS - ask about joining the free empathy-boosting program from bit.ly/spark-empathy that connects your students to global classrooms.

2. First Kids on Mars mobile tech sandbox

In our workshop we will imagine, play, experiment and give you space to consider how to boost creativity and future-readiness in your classroom.

The First on Mars program has been developed as: “A sandpit for delivering best practice learning that shows how to prepare students for success now and into their futures”.

• The first half of the workshop you will experience activities from the program for yourself,

• The second half you will be invited to unpack the activities, play more with mobile tech, and begin applying to your work with learners

FIRST SCHOOL ON MARS TEACHERS PLAYBOOK

The ‘First School on Mars Playbook’ shows how to apply our activities in any classroom. Available for FREE just for MiTE for January:

• eBook via our site http://bit.ly/from_playbook_ebook 

•  Books http://bit.ly/fsom_playbook

• Amazon Print on demand also available: http://bit.ly/fsom_playbook_print

LEARN-O-METER and enviro-sensors for classrooms

Extensive research from the last 10 years shows that most learning environments are actively harming student learning through inadequate lighting, sound levels and air quality. In the past it was difficult to measure these at an individual room level, but new IOT (Internet of things) technology means classrooms can now be optimised as never before - even to the point of improving results in your school by 16%. 

Jonathan has been involved with and inspired by Learnometer, an advanced classroom environment sensor under development by Prof Stephen Heppell which will have a production version available early 2020.

WHY PROGRESSIVE EDUCATORS ARE RE-TRAINING STAFF TO BE AND CREATE THRIVING, EFFECTIVE LEARNERS:

Since the very first computers were introduced, the question has been asked - do such tools effect thinking, and thus learning and Education? 

The resounding answer from the 1940's to today has been yes. And yet two different models have emerged as to how computing tools should be used. The first chooses to focus on the technology itself, but the second, which research has proven is effective, focuses on the task.

SCROLL DOWN to learn about which model you may have adopted, or begin your journey now.

Ineffective Model

Technology will always be ineffective at improving education when it falls victim to the 'Shiny Object Syndrome' where the tech itself becomes the focus. Often in this scenario it is assumed that the very presence of digital technology in teacher and student hands will of itself be enough. Because this approach focuses so heavily on the tool, often vital planning and training are neglected, and the technology only serves to reinforce the traditional learning that was already occurring.

Have you inadvertently begun using this model? JNXYZ can help you audit your practice to find out.

Effective Model

For technology to be effective at improving teaching and learning, the focus of planning and training must remain on the learning goals and tasks that schools and universities have already determined as priorities. In this scenario, technology becomes only another tool for achieving these goals, and is only adopted if it does in fact provide a way to improve educational outcomes, and eventually allow the tasks to be redefined.

This is the type of focus that JNXYZ can help you move to and maintain and grow over time.

We will achieve this focus in particular by drawing on the Challenge Based Learning and SAMR frameworks to move your staff and students from merely using technology as a substitute for what you were already doing, to a place where you can begin to redefine your learning tasks to address the challenges that educators and students face as the digital revolution really picks up speed.

The bottom line of such a redefinition is improved student outcomes, increased staff engagement, and a more effective learning community overall.

"A really successful session and very much appreciated Jonathan's time, expertise and willingness to cater the session to the needs of the group"

I can also offer specific workshops in:

 Watch and wearables, iBeacons, classroom environment testing, the SAMR model, the NMC Horizon Report, iTunes U, Digital Storytelling, using Instagram for #infopics and mobile photography, introductory 4K video for education, and Build - an Education theory of everything 

.

you may want to consider a program that combines several elements across four potential packages:

Innovation and Planning Package: Up to 10 days (which could be across one school term) of guiding your staff (and students) through how to foster a culture of creativity and innovation through the use of the SAMR model and Challenge Based Learning, as well as how to incorporate such thinking into a detailed project plan that integrates technology deeply into learning.

Preparing Your Project Package: Up to 10 days of working with your leadership team and selected staff (and student) champions to mentor them through preparing your project to move from plans to implementation to achieve maximum success. Includes assistance with preparing support resources and meeting with key partners and stake holders.

Implementing Your Project Package: Up to 10 days of supporting your staff through the implementation stage of your project to assist with trouble-shooting, additional staff training, creating additional support resources, and preparing to publish your end-products.

Evaluating Your Project Package: Up to 10 days of gathering reflective data and evaluate footage and artefacts to be packaged into a project report. This can further be developed into an online showcase and integrated with assistance to publish the projects end-products.

Go HERE to find out more about how these packages can work for you.

WATCH: http://voice.adobe.com/v/QrxDeBZutDV 

B. WHAT?

• Last 10 years has seen the digitalisation of education
• Much focus has moved to online and the cloud
• iBeacons can bring back a sense of local contact and the importance of physical movement and location
• iBeacons act as bluetooth emitters. Apps listen for specific beacons then trigger pre-programmed notifications, actions and experiences on your device
• Requires bluetooth to be turned on, and an app installed 

• INFOGRAPHIC explanation - LINK

• Pinterest page with a huge collection of resources: http://www.pinterest.com/garyb0au/ibeacons/
