What Changes? Originally uploaded by willrich

When considering learning environments that suit the needs for the 21st Century Learner I’m not sure if this is what we mean! Is it learning anytime, anywhere when everyone is listening to the same lecture in the same place? I guess these are our challenges as educators in our school settings.

We have a 1:1 laptop program for our year 7s and will have it for both the Year 7s and 8s next year. Our thinking has been around these questions -

• How can we best use the tools and spaces?
• How can we make learning more personalised for our students?
• How can we provide opportunities for our students to be producers as well as consumers?
• What makes a digital citizen?

There are other questions buzzing around our heads at the moment. We don’t have all the answers, but the discussions are invaluable to developing a common vision for learning.
