How can we GLOBALIZE our classrooms? Do you wish to engage your school into DIGITAL LITERACY upgrades? How do we help our students critique and create MEDIA that prepares them for future careers and college? A new kind of learner needs new literacies and teachers who embrace them. Based on her groundbreaking ASCD book, Curriculum 21: Essential Education for a Changing World, Heidi Hayes Jacobs will take you through approaches on how to engage your staff in UPGRADING dated curriculum with dynamic modern alternatives. She will zoom in on the distinctions of each literacy, the relationship between them, and need revisions in our school programs to engage learners in acquiring proficiency. She will share practices from her newest work, Mapping to the Core: Integrating the Common Core Standards into your Local School Curriculum which is being released in a new format: LiveBook and LivePlanner, by SINET. Specifically she will show the new literacies are embraced by the CCSS.

Keynote Session
Heidi Hayes Jacobs - Curriculum 21
Not reform, new form
People do dumb things with smart boards
We must get teachers using webinars - just like powerpoint, once they learn how it works they can apply how it's useful for their students
19th century schedules - 45 minutes, 180 days, factory based
Curriculum 21 - Essential Curriculum for ..
Social production, social network, semantic web, media grids, non-linear learning (be discerning)
What's wrong with being interested in something other than what's happening at the moment? Isn't that a 'wanting to learn something'?
Research - means search again
Strategic Upgrades - at least one upgrade per unit
Digital Literacy - Active and strategic selection of web 2.0 tools, Re-search, Active and strategic selection of repository sites, Technical expertise with keyboarding, voice recognition and touch technologies
Media Literacy, Global Literacy
http://www.gapminder.org - change in income from 1800's to 2010 - Cool example. What other stats available?
Curriculum specific - do one thing well don't worry about the whole mass of stuff out there
Replace an oral report with a podcast
http://googleartproject.com - Choose five works of art and describe the changes that occured over time
Media Literacy - new forms, quality, transition our PD, Critical analysis of ALL forms of media
Jacob Burn Center
Global Literacy - Recognizing the relationship between place and people, integration of active geography, linking
Two tier model
short term - revision and replacement of dated curriculum
Long term - new versions of program structures that house curriculum and instruction
"I'm against graduation." as we now know it
Basic elements - content, skills, assessment
upgrading maps for learner engagement - text messaging for taking notes
Students need to own their learning - create a facebook page of a historic figure, self publishing, skype grandmothers, video trailer for upcoming units, podcast
We need to be doing what we expect our students to do for the next century
How about (for assessment): Every student - create an app
