Draft of Potential Research Questions:

What are the false assumptions we are operating on:

     education

     learning

 

How is technology changing?  How can we get a sense of trajectory (throw a pass ahead of a running player)?

How do we develop students' mind for a global world?

How can we make technology support 21st century education:  If we do change mindsets about teaching and learning, what technology do we need to support it?  Do we have the support to do that?

How do we need to change education to meet the needs of digital natives?

 

Team Members' Areas of Interest--21st Century Learning & Instruction

Relevancy (instructional relevancy to kids' lives and to the modern world)

Shifting skills & knowledge (what is no longer relevant?  What do we need to add?)

Shift to inquiry-oriented learning (students guide own efforts, teachers as coaches)

Teachers shifting mindset to accept and embrace students' learning styles

Modernize technology in schools

Relevancy
