21st Century Education: Technology Is Making It Happen

Notes from



NECC 2007 
21st Century Education: Technology Is Making It Happen


Mary Ann Wolf, State Educational Technology Directors Association with Ken Kay and Don Knezek





Tuesday, 6/26/2007, 3:30pm–4:30pm;



Partnership new framework (handout) revealed





Tech is key component

  • Teacher students to be providient in a media and info economy
  • the utilization of tech to foster 21cs in all content area
  • the utilization of tech to create robust admin and instructional support systems
New framework

two important changes: green layer used to be assessment layer; now everything in rainbow is all student skills; Life & career skills, learning and innovation skills, info/media/tech skills,  core subjects and 21century themes

pools below support those outcomes: standards and assessment, currr, pd learning environments



we put 98% of our effort in education in the "playbook" but not the actual doing skills



Eg 8th grade students should be able to use gps tools to determine next best location for a park in the city



This framework should make clearer that knowledge and skills come together



Importance this project

not technology as teh endgame, rather tech affects every piece of the new framework



Planning between now and november to build out this new framework; want much more specific, want people to be able to see what this looks like.
