Podcast236: Let’s Invent the Future – A Presentation for Oklahoma Superintendents

posted in 1:1, creativity, digitalstorytelling, history, leadership, podcasts, schoolreform |

This podcast is a recording of a presentation I shared with Oklahoma superintendents on March 5, 2008, in Oklahoma City at an Apple Leadership Institute. If the world is flat for those with connectivity, what are we going to do to change our learning environments in schools to support the development of 21st century skills alongside traditional literacy skills and content knowledge? I propose, as school leaders, we get creative, work together, and (in the words of Dr. Alan Kay) “invent the future” together. The Celebrate Oklahoma Voices project is one way Oklahoma students, teachers, and administrators are preserving the oral history of our state and promoting the development of digital literacy skills for teachers as well as students. (For learners of all ages.) Good leadership matters. Let’s step up to the challenges before us in education and provide the leadership the students, teachers, and families of our state and nation desperately need.
