Cairns Blog: Crowdsourcing Governance [Video intro ends at 52 seconds; Intro by Dr. Gref ends at 2'18; Speech ends at 11'15; then Q&A] For Prime Minister Putin's presentation, click here. Crowdsourcing Governance We’ve heard today that as individuals we are smarter collaborating together than working alone. Collaboration makes businesses more successful. Challenges To do so, we have three challenges we must first overcome: 1. 2. 3. Solutions I would argue that collaboration is more important for government than for business in these very tough economic times, because it enables government to deliver better services for less money and more democratically. First, crowdsourcing is a serious solution to serious problems. 1. 2. 3. Second, designed right, these are not experimental projects. Previously, I had some experience creating a platform called Peer to Patent, in which we connected volunteer scientists and technologists to the national patent offices. Closing This is not about the technology. It’s about asking questions.

Solve Puzzles for Science | Foldit Take aim at innovation, with students in the center In September 2012, I packed up my Prius, left my patient wife, and drove around the United States for 89 days and 10,000 miles visiting 64 schools of every flavor and size to find out how they are preparing students for a rapidly changing world. I asked questions and recorded learning with more than 600 teachers, administrators and students. In setting up the complex matrix of this trip, many of my hosts asked, “What would you like to see when you are here?” The journeys of discovery in my life have started with open goals and few preconceptions, so I left the agendas as open ended as possible, with one caveat: I was not interested in seeing a 1:1 laptop program or talking with teachers about their tablet rollouts. As others have said, technology in learning should be as ubiquitous as air, and there is nothing innovative about students and teachers breathing. Technology is not innovation What would Dewey do? Flipping the classroom is not enough But what if we really flipped learning?

Plan para introducir las TIC en el aula: ¡3 pasos son suficientes! Muchos son los maestros y profesores que se plantean incluir las TIC en sus programaciones como un contenido más pero no encuentran respuesta a las preguntas “¿por dónde empiezo?” y “¿cómo lo hago?”. A través de este artículo, quiero mostraros una manera sencilla y efectiva de introducir en clase cualquier tipo de tecnología, tanto las diseñadas especialmente para el aprendizaje como las que no: uso de dispositivos móviles (tableta, smartphone), realidad aumentada, radio, blogs, wikis, etcétera. Os reconozco que es un trabajo laborioso si se quiere hacer bien, pero resulta muy gratificante ver cómo nuestros alumnos interiorizan su uso y no solo los implementan en la escuela, sino también fuera de ella. Así pues, vayamos por la primera cuestión del artículo. ¿Por dónde empiezo? Para saber cómo introducir las tecnologías en el aula, es necesario cierto rodaje. Sed conscientes de que estáis aprendiendo, vosotros y vuestros alumnos, y necesitáis mantener vuestros ojos bien abiertos. Paso 1.

ADULLACT - Mutualisation de logiciels libres pour institutionnels Reinventing School From the Ground Up For Inquiry Learning By Thom Markham A grave miscalculation exists in the minds of many educators: That inquiry-based learning, project based learning, and 21st century competencies can flourish in industrial model schools. Under this world view, the inquiry goals of the Common Core State Standards are “strategies” to be added to the existing list of classroom techniques, while skills like collaboration, communication, or creativity can be taught despite 43-minute periods, desks in rows, and pacing guides set in stone. In other words, reaching the top of Bloom’s Taxonomy is important, but less so than maintaining regimental order. But what we know—from industry and neuroscience—is that organizational structure, environment, and human performance are deeply intertwined. It is inevitable that schools must be completely redesigned if society wants to tap the wellsprings of creativity and exploration that the industrial system subdues. This redesign issue looms large. But a historical moment has arrived. Related
