Moving at the Speed of Creativity by Wesley Fryer

Podcast39: The Vocabulary of 21st Century Learning

Where have we been, where are we now, and where are we going with respect to teaching and learning in classrooms across the United States in the 21st Century? Do we want to just use technology to do traditional education more efficiently, or do we want to do education differently and better? In this presentation I advocate for the constructive use of disruptive technologies, like blogs, wikis, and podcasts, to help engage students in the development of literacy skills with an authentic audience. Several fantasies about learning which many people have today (including many legislators) are addressed, and prescriptions for where we should go next in the 21st century with curriculum and instruction are suggested. The podcast also includes a short presentation by teachers from Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD about a very successful podcasting initiative in their school district this year.
