ON the 19th July, the State Library of Victoria hosted a TEDx event on Educational Leadership.Presenters were Will Richardson and Jenny Luca.
Will Richardson is a leading US educator and Joy and myself were very lucky to hear him speak some years ago at a SLAV Conference.Will passionately believes that learning in the 21st century is all about networks and the connections we make to other learners in our own community and around the globe.
In his talk below he speaks about how schools are failing to respond to the digital shift and how the Digital Revolution is challenging our basic assumptions around what the roles of schools are and how we define what an education is.
Earlier this year the ISC had the privelege of visiting Jenny Luca,Head of Information Services at Toorak College, Mt Eliza.Jenny is a leading advocate of "nurturing and growing" networked teachers who have an understanding of how to create meaningful learning experiences using the technology that we have in our schools today.As an example, at Toorak College, all students have a blog(Edublog) as their e-portfolio.This planned approach ensures that students leave the school with a positive digital footprint.To find out more about what Jenny had to say,watch the video below.
