Programme Goals
To develop a clear pedagogy for each school that reflects the needs of the 21st Century Learner. That follows an inquiry learning approach that reflects the learning style / needs of the learners / thinking strategies as the method of delivering the ‘schools curriculum’.
To develop a ‘schools curriculum’ that reflects our pedagogy, current curriculum changes, key competencies, assessment and reporting needs.
To develop a Shared Learning Community of EBest schools. This will be achieved through the development of an intranet to share resources and knowledge.
Why are we doing this?

Akamai
Akamai Technologies, Inc. (is a company that provides a distributed computing platform for global Internet content caching and application delivery.
BitTorrentBitTorrent is a peer-to-peer (P2P)
file distribution protocol.
BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer (P2P) file distribution protocolBitTorrent is a method of distributing large amounts of data widely without the original distributor incurring the whole of
the corresponding costs of hardware, hosting and bandwidth resources. Instead of the distributor alone servicing each recipient, under BitTorrent the recipients each also supply
data to newer recipients, thus significantly reducing the cost and burden on any given individual source as well as
providing redundancy against system problems, and reducing dependence upon the original distributor.
Britannica Online
The online version has more than 120,000 articles and is updated daily. It also has daily features, updates and links to news articles from The New York Times and the BBC.
Wikipedia
Wikipedia is a multilingual, Web-based, free content encyclopedia project. Wikipedia is written collaboratively by volunteers; its articles can be edited by anyone with access to the Web site.
Wiki
A wiki is a website that allows visitors to add, remove, and otherwise edit and change content, typically without the need for registration. It also allows for linking among any number of pages. This ease of interaction and operation makes a wiki an effective tool for mass collaborative authoring.
THE CENTRAL PRINCIPLE BEHIND THE SUCCESS OF THE GIANTS BORN IN THE WEB 1.0 ERA WHO HAVE SURVIVED TO LEAD THE WEB 2.0 ERA APPEARS TO BE THIS, THAT THEY HAVE EMBRACED THE POWER
OF THE WEB TO HARNESS COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE:
Wikipedia, a is a profound change in the dynamics of content creation and collective
intelligence.
Harnessing Collective Intelligence
eBay enables occasional transactions of only a few dollars between single individuals, acting as an automated intermediary.
Napster (though shut down for legal reasons) built its network not by building a centralized song database, but by architecting a system in such a way that every downloader also became a server, and thus grew the network.
eBay and Napster
RSS
RSS is a family of web feed formats used to publish frequently updated digital content, such as blogs, news feeds or podcasts.Users of RSS content use programs called feed 'readers' or 'aggregators': the user 'subscribes' to a feed by supplying to their reader a link to the feed; the reader can then check the user's subscribed feeds to see if any of those feeds have new content since the last time it checked, and if so, retrieve that content and present it to the user.

21st Century Learners
Who are they?
Age does not determine a 21st Century learner, we are all 21st Century learners.
Have you ever asked students what is happening in their world?
That was 2005, what about 2007?
• School, we power down for it
• Email is for old people
• Click it, get it
• We can get past the blocked sites
• Net Nazis!!!!
• Second Life is cool
Where do schools fit?
In a world with lots and lots of information, how do we know what
to teach?
Real life example
Mash-ups
“ We know we don't have a corner on creativity. There are creative people
all around the world, hundreds of millions of them, and they are going to think of things to do with our basic platform that we didn't think of. So
the mashup stuff is a wonderful way of allowing people to find new ways of applying the basic infrastructures
we're propagating.
In a world of social software, how do we know what to teach?

Effective Pedagogy
NZ Draft Curriculum pp. 24-25
What is pedagogy? Definition
Webster:
The art, practice, or profession of teaching: systemised learning or instruction concerning principles and methods
of teaching.
Mulberry Grove School

How well are we teaching inquiry & information skills?
• NEMP 1997Analysing & classifying informationIdentifying appropriate sources of informationAsking appropriate questions
• NEMP 2001Analysing & using information
Finding & gathering information
• ERO 2005 – Student learning in the information landscape
“… overall, there was wide variability of development and
effectiveness within schools across all the areas evaluated.”
NEMP 2005 – Information Skills
• ConcernsSelecting/rejecting information relevant to a topic
and to make decisions or develop arguments based on that information
Etc…
• Looking aheadStudents need modelling to help them develop an
argument and make decisions based on information.
Etc…
What does it mean to be literate?
Literacy is a state of being.
Literacy is dynamic & is constantly moving, developing & changing
Skills & strategies are the basis of literacy.
Skills need to be specified more precisely, taught explicitly.
All literacies – text, information, visual,
technological, mathematical – are not fixed
entities/destinations but states/journeys that are
constantly evolving.
Skills & strategies are the building blocks.
Skills & strategies are teachable & LEARNABLE.
Exposing children/anyone to text, information, visuals & ICTs does not
build literacy.
What builds literacy is continuous coaching to use the relevant skills &
strategies and plenty of regular, guided practice.
Training for literacy is no different from training for sport. It’s all about
coaching skills & strategies, but with literacies the skills tend to be cognitive
skills practiced in the context of the learning game.
If teachers could see themselves as coaches of the literacy learning game rather than as ‘facilitators’,
we’d have a more proactive approach to coaching literacy
skills.

What is your educative purpose?Why do you teach?
Educative Purpose
What do you fundamentally believe and value about learning?
BeliefsBeliefs are the assumptions we make about ourselves, about others in the world and about how we expect things to be. Beliefs are about how we think things really are, what we think is really true and what therefore expect as likely consequences that will follow from our behavior.
ValuesValues are about how we have learnt to think things ought to be or people ought to behave, especially in terms of qualities such as honesty, integrity and openness.
The clearer you are about what you value and believe in, the happier and
more effective you will be.
What are your core values concerning your educative purpose?

Professional DevelopmentThomas Guskey – What Makes Professional Development
Effective?
“A couple of years ago, I identified thirteen lists of characteristics of effective professional development that had been assembled by different professional organizations and research groups. In analyzing these lists, I found very little consensus. There wasn't even agreement on the criteria for effectiveness. Some lists were based on the concurrence opinions among researchers, others used teacher self-reports, and only a few looked at impact on student learning. My conclusion was that we may not have a true consensus on what makes professional development effective, and that moving toward one may be more complicated than most people think.”
