Introduction
- Had young student acknolwedge the country as did the conference introducer Murat
- Gave statistics on 1:1 initiatives in the developing world
-
Interesting Litearcy approach
- Suggests taht we use literacy & numeracy skills to creatively & resourcefully develop cultural, interpersonal, skills
- I like this because it turns literacies back to each other rather than a simle listing
- In school, we have too many meetings and not enough conversations" quote from a comference
-
Then
-
Back then the battle was "should kids use tech?"
-
Showed video of 9 yr old using a Mac Plus
- She'll be in her early 30s
- Should computers have color screens
-
Now
- Shows todler using an iPod Touch
- Shows pic of his 15 month old grand daughter swimming underwater
-
Show child on peddleless bike
- We though it was the balancing
- Not, its the peddles that are a challenge
- 52 of his college's students graduated to go work on Avatar
-
Jobs that are going away
- Not unskilled labor
- not skilled manual
- It's unskilled clerical that are disappearing
- Kids' primary search tool is YouTube
- Hmmmm- Video tweeting teacher lessons, whatched by retired teachers -- interesting
-
So a student does well in math except for Matracies
- His teacher's not very good teaching it
- He goes to two friends who have learned it
- If they can't help, then he goes to their teacher
-
Talks about online conversation between Finish & London Students
- Finish students ask how london students planed their learning days
-
Londoner's didn't understand the question
- Their day is planned for them

No barriers to learning
- "How many barriers to learning do we errect?" My question
-
We're in a world of no secrets
- Shows a photo
-
Talking a lot about mixed age learning
- Showing that large scale online communities are all mixed-age
- We're often wrong about what kids are capable of learning
-
So what's coming next
- Bunch of comparisons -- I took a photo
-
Playfulness
- Kids left the computers and took the bean bags
-
Kids want to learn and they want to play
- Give them both
- Kids challenged to create apps that can be played on the side of a building (with projector)
-
