The Global Education Conference is next week, November 17-21, 2014. Right now (less then 3 days before starting) we have:250 general sessions 33 keynotes, or maybe 34 now20,347 members in the educational community!Not sure about you, but I am planning to attend as much as I can - and learn from as many as I can. This conference is TOTALLY ONLINE, TOTALLY FREE and runs 24/7 for FIVE DAYS. There is something for everyone! The focus is on global education, global learning, global collaboration and how teachers and all learners are shifting the educational paradigm to embrace change through global connections that are often embedded into the curriculum (at all levels).The Global Education Conference (now in its 5th year!) is a special event as it highlights innovation and cutting edge pedagogy, often with the use of new and emerging technologies. It provides inspiration to many educators globally as they hear and interact with teachers and leaders who are already out there connecting themselves and their students to the world. If you are a teacher or a leader (at any level) who wants to learn how to connect with the world in meaningful ways you MUST join some sessions and learn more.A word about the sessions - each session runs for ONE HOUR - and presenters usually build in discussion and interaction activities. Being virtual it is easy to come in and out of the presentation rooms - and each time slot has at least 3 choices - so you can find the presentation that aligns with your needs and settle in to enjoy! The Student Strand this year has grown and I wish to send a special thank you in advance to all teachers and students willing to step up and design a presentation that shares your global learning. We have a Student Presenters and Presentations group - everyone is welcome to join, especially students and teachers involved in the student strand presentations. Share your resources and links to your presentation material there well.Here is the list of Student-led presentations (if I have missed any, please let me know!)BTW - this list is in GMT+11 (my time here in Australia).

In the first week of November this year I was delighted to once again attend the WISE event for 2014 (World Innovation Summit in Education) located in Doha, Qatar. Each time I go to Doha I see more and more changes. I lived there for 2 years, 2007-2009 and was IT Director for K-12 at Qatar Academy, a school based right on Education City, opposite the Doha Convention Centre where WISE was held. This was my 4th WISE. It is still my favourite global conference and organisers do the most amazing job bringing together international experts across a large number of areas, K-12 as well as tertiary, government and NGO.In past years I have usually attended and participated at a more passive level. This year I was invited at short notice to moderate a live debate. After taking a deep breath I agreed, and at one weeks notice worked on putting together the debate format and reading as much as I could about the topic - a topic I had no real expertise in, which I was told did not really matter as my experience and astute critical approach was conducive to the format required on the day.The topic was to do with cognitive science - the screenshots below are from the WISE website.  Although a great challenge for me personally, it was a privilege to interact with and learn from Dr Ramia, Dr Koizumi and Dr Abadzi as their depth and breadth of knowledge was exceptional for this topic. I am going to recreate some of this debate here to show you what we discussed. I am hoping WISE might share the recording they made of the session on their website soon.Here are some snapshots from the actual debate material.INTRODUCTIONThere has been a groundswell of brain research over the last 30 years. The medical and educational communities, once disparate professions, now have common ground in addressing the physiological and psychological evidence for human cognition. To clarify from the beginning, Cognitive science is the interdisciplinary scientific study of the mind and its processes. This topic is important now because…..…..The bridge created between cognitive science and education means there may be pathways for cognitive science to inform learning approaches, pedagogy and therefore improved outcomes. With new information, we can reconsider many long held assumptions about instruction, learning, and assessment. This also has implications for policy and impacts government decisions internationally.In this session we hope to….…. learn more about cognitive science, demystify the concept and practice and what we can expect from it to improve education for all. Are we having unreasonable expectations?What are the good practices to learn from internationally?The challenge for those not working in scientific fields is to understand the terminology and appreciate the actual science behind it. This video may help to clarify…….Dr Abedzi shared insights into how our memory works Neuromyths are common misconceptions about brain mechanisms, which are taken for granted in today's society. Cognomyths are beliefs that people can customarily learn in ways that they can't. Globally a large range of cultural, emotional and developmental biases have influenced the types of unscientific ideas that have emerged. Some long-standing neuromyths are present in products for educators and this has helped them to spread in classrooms across the world. We also discussed creativity:"Imagination is more important than knowledge.For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand." - Albert Einstein The topic of creativity is one example when exploring the broader issue of how to translate cognitive science findings into curricula or pedagogy.I wanted to ask about this but we ran out of time:The role of educational technologyDevelopment and use of adaptive digital technologies - have potential to create more learning opportunities inside and outside the classroom and reshaping the human brain.What about the move to using technology in the learning process - mobile devices, a move away from handwriting to digital communication.Cohort studies very important. Attention span questionsCreating expectations of how you get information and interact with the environmentWhat are the implications here for learners in relation to cognitive science? What role does or could educational technology play in this? Is the development of educational software based on the findings of neuroscience?RESOURCESMany interesting resources for cognitive science are now bookmarked in my Diigo account.You must download this NEW publication by WISE Matters: Explorations of Creativity: a Review for Educators and Policy Making by Helen Abadzi, Marialuisa Martelli and Silvia Primativo.The role of neuroscience in education - WISE EdReviewInnovation, Leadership, Creativity, Collaboration

The Possibility Post | Global Whale Project: handshake activity tags: handshake fcge14-2 education This Will Revolutionize Education - YouTube The socialisation of learning, and now the socialisation of online learning is a key element in the evolution of technology-infused education. The real revolution/evolution has to be a change in mindset to 'allow' and 'encourage' students to be master learners, to be autonomous and to find their own passion. There should be no walls to learning, the ubiquity technology provides allows anyone to learn with anyone else anywhere in the world - we are not quite there yet, but getting closer. Who a learner connects with and collaborates with daily, the communities they interact with, and the process of learning through co-creation of artefacts, sharing of ideas, building meaning together must be seen as far more important than what technology they have.  tags: viralvideo education futureofeducation A Principal's Reflections: A PLN Quick Start Guide tags: PLN education connected_learning Kid President Throws a Surprise Party for a Retiring Teacher - YouTube tags: digitalstorytelling education 2014 NMC Technology Outlook Australian tertiary Education tags: horizonreport tertiary education technology future The Digital Public Library of America: Collaboration, Content, and Technology at Scale (EDUCAUSE Review) | EDUCAUSE.edu tags: library digital education collaboration technology Posted from Diigo.

Celebration of global learning!Graduates from the Flat Connections Global Educator 14-2 cohort recently presented their final global project ideas in a formal presentation. This is the culmination of 12 weeks of learning that includes the 'Seven steps to flatten your classroom' as well as global project design and management. These global educators honed in on new ideas and experiences via regular synchronous as well as asynchronous communication and team as well as individual assignment work.These NEW global project and curriculum ideas are presented here with the hope that others will reach out and contact organisers and join in!Remember: the next Flat Connections Global Educator course starts in February 2015 - READ MORE and APPLY to join other educators across the world to take your learning global.Travel2School - Sonya Van Schaijik (Auckland, New Zealand)This project looks at how students travel to school. The first phase of the project will include students from Auckland and then the second phase will invite global participants. Each phase will take about 10 weeks. The project is designed for grades 3-6, age 7-10.The project is aligned with the New Zealand key competencies and levels 2 and 3 of national curriculum.The initial idea of this project is exploring getting to school safely with a focus on also on health benefits and turning city planning around - not just keeping pedestrians safe but building cities for pedestrians.Tools proposed - Padlet, TitanPad, Skooville, Google drive, wikispaces. SkypeThe goal is for children to make a difference by exploring issues and designing new outcomes.The use of Minecraft and Sketchup will be encouraged to design new city areas and create new planning models to share with the wider community.Read Sonya's blog post: Flat ConnectionsConnect with Sonya: @vanschaijik Tell my Story - Martine Blanchet (Winnipeg, Canada)This project is a Grade 2-4 french language immersion (written and oral). It also focuses on digital storytelling and retelling skills.It starts with a simple handshake activity where students introduce their favourite stuffed toy. Each student will then collaborate to write a story for sharing. These stories are shared with another class and re-created in digital format. These digital stories are then shared with yet another class and the story is retold in French using audio software and Web 2.0 tools.This project has great potential as it encourages creativity amongst students as they devise and then retell stories and it also supports language acquisition and sharing.Connect with Martine:  @mblanrunCelebrating Cultural Diversity and Our Shared Global Environment - Ann Rooney (Adelaide, Australia) This global project design focuses on first nation people and whales. It links specifically with the Australian national curriculum and aligns with all ISTE standards for students.It is designed for upper middle and high school students and has carefully set out processes where students are put into cross-classroom teams for collaboration. The handshake activity is unique as students are asked to create a 'diversity tile' to introduce themselves.Collaborative research across countries exploring the history and current situation with whales including cultural aspects culminates in a personal multimedia artefact produced by all students. Teacher-sourcing is a key feature of this project, as with Flat Connections global projects, as teachers need to be present and active to guide students (not just their own) and promote digital citizenship.Read Ann's blog post - Online FriendshipsConnect with Ann: @AnnRooney6  Who am I? An inquiry into cultural identity - Julie Carey (Colorado, USA)This global project brings together minority groups with the guiding question 'Why is culture important? It aligns with social studies, world languages and other curriculum standards as well as all ISTE standards for studentsJulie has already started this project with two schools in the western USA and linked them using technology with the purpose of sharing ideas and exploring difference cultures.The main focus is on creating eBooks about the students' culture that can be shared globally. These eBooks will be collaborative and include learning new skills with technology tools, and also be bilingual.A feature of this project is the group and then individual handshake expectation where students get to know each other through sharing cultural and personal qualities.Review the slideshow below for evidence of project development, including teacher testimonials from the Navajo School.Connect with Julie: @JuliesWords1Congratulations to Sonya, Martine, Ann and Julie! Welcome to the Flat Connections Global Educator community!

Often the questions presented to students were simply "digitized worksheets" that did not require students to actually use technology to apply, evaluate, or create concepts. In general, our analyses found that digital tools do not regularly add value to instruction, even when the technology is readily accessible and working well (which often is not the case). In addition, drawing upon large samples of student test score data, we also estimated impact of these tutoring services on student achievement." tags: research education digitaltechnologies higherorderthinking Posted from Diigo.

The arrival in the mail today (ooohh....hard copy!) of the latest Education Technology Magazine, Australia, reminded me I meant to post this to my blog. The following 'Have your say' commentary appeared in the November 2014 EdTech Magazine. Don't forget to look at the Feb/March 2015 issue:Connected classrooms - Anne MirtschinDigital tattoos - Rob McTaggartTransformed learning with Google apps - Anthony Speranzaand lots more!Learning Disconnect?Is the current use of technology in schools fostering a learning disconnect? As a global educator I have had many experiences and developed perspectives on the use of digital and online technologies in classrooms across continents. There are many ongoing conversations about the best way to implement and use emerging technologies and these typically focus on the school as an island, rather than the school as a connector to the world. With the ‘ island'  approach learning designers fear the worst from outsiders and build strong walls to prevent penetration from the unknown, or provide access to technologies that cannot be transplanted into the everyday life of learners, such as learning management systems that are only accessible while ‘on the island’. This has the effect of disconnecting learners, or causing a ‘partition’ between what is ‘school work’ and what is social or ‘at home’ access to learning.Just the other day I was speaking to a NSW Distance Education language teacher who physically has to drive to an ‘office’ in order to teach students at a distance. While in the office technologies are not always friendly and many ‘lessons’ are held using the reliable, but these days not sufficient, landline telephone. In addition, students while in school have trouble accessing tools such as Skype and are effectively cut-off from the real world while learning. There is no real expectation to learn while at home, or if there was the teacher in this example would be given autonomy to teach from home at flexible hours that suit learners, using technology that is readily available beyond the school.What we are really seeing here is a restriction, a blockage, a deliberate attempt to disconnect learners from the learning. The future of learning, and the future of work (business, employment, careers) is connected and collaborative. The future is about using available technologies, the best tool for the job at the time, to connect and foster collaborations, to build empathy between learners both online and offline and to build trust so that collaboration leads to co-creation and problem solving. The future is about digital fluency rather than digital fear and ignorance.The barriers to ubiquitous learning while using digital technologies are varied. Misdirected leadership, unaware teachers, disengaged students - sound familiar? Although teachers and school leaders may be enablers or barriers, students also need to claim technology independence and find bridges to new learning modes that take them beyond their immediate environment. Online technologies make this possible. Online technologies make learning with the world possible.The future of learning using new technologies is bright if we focus on what learners really need to connect and interact and if we, as educators and leaders, get out of the way of the learning thereby encouraging digital flexibility and fluency that builds a bridge between ‘home’ and ‘school’. We have a lot of work to do!   What are your thoughts about this? Julie Lindsay, julie@flatconnections.comDirector, Learning Confluence.
