According to Tim Brown, CEO at IDEO, this calls for a democratization of design and we must all participate. By Kasper Worm-Petersen How can we design cities when we cannot predict the outcome of our actions? This was one of the key challenges that were discussed at the High-Level meeting on Design, Innovation, and Urbanization in Tokyo hosted by the Global Agenda Council on Design and Innovation. Tim Brown, CEO at IDEO, was one of the panelists arguing strongly for a more democratized design approach as a response to the challenge; an approach in which design is to be perceived more as a code than as an artefact.

What's Next? I remember when my husband and I brought home our first child. We had prepared for months… reading books, building furniture, attending child birth classes, buying accessories, talking to friends… our entire lives were dedicated to the arrival of this child (and my husband’s PhD coursework so I guess we weren’t totally myopic). The day came when she entered the world and we were sent home by the hospital staff to begin our lives as a family.
We came home, my husband put the baby (in her car carrier) on the coffee table… and we stared at her…. and we stared at each other… we stared at the cat… and suddenly all the prep was over and we asked “So.Now.What.Do.We.Do?” Brett Clark wrote a fantastic post about prepping a 1:1 program being like prepping for the arrival of a child. And he’s total right. So now that you’ve gone 1:1… what do you do? Hint: If you happen to be in Indianapolis at ICE13 on Friday, October 11th this is our presentation.

To complete her homework assignment, Meran Hill needed total concentration. The University of Washington senior shut the blinds in her studio apartment. She turned off the music.

Mr. Every Tech Commercial. The SAMR Ladder Through the Lens of 21st Century Skills. This summer I have been digging deeper into the SAMR model of tech integration to help educators embrace 1:1 learning and the changes it will bring about. SAMR is a truly useful tool for helping teachers identify their current comfort zone in order to build expertise in designing efficient and effective student learning experiences.
To reach higher levels on the SAMR ladder, teachers can make some planning and instructional shifts. A look at the big picture is helpful when trying to understand how to help students develop important 21st Century Skills at each level. Through the Lens of 21st Century Skills I have created an interactive graphic of the SAMR Ladder to illustrate the big picture. Final Thoughts The learning that occurs as teachers climb up the SAMR ladder is what will eventually lead to successful lesson design. It's not 1989.

I am projecting a map of Africa on the screen. For number 1, write the name of the country and its capital. Do the same thing for each of the other numbers. That was how my junior high school social studies teacher in Lawrence, Kansas, tested my knowledge of Africa in the early 1960s.
I don't remember learning a lot about the people in these places and how South Africa might differ from Egypt, being at opposite ends of the continent. A few years later, I read some books by Alan Paton, the South African author of Cry, the Beloved Country (Scribners, 1948).
