navigating in turbulent times' the worlds urgent need for an innovation approach to global problem solving

and the crucial role of education

main points
fast forward globalization chipper change hyper complexity
two distinct forces producing explosion in change
twenty urgent global problems on your hand unresolved
problems are unresolved because current intl system is paralyzed
/
one thousand year perspective
hyperchange with curve goes straight up
hyper complexity eg gulf, lehman bros

one force population increase
new economic revolution

people institutions cannot keep up

we have lost forty percent of wilife in the last forty years
water issues, large rivers not reaching the sea

full list of un resolved global problems
sharing on our planet: climate changer , bidiversity, etc
sharinign our humanity: fight against poverty, peacekeeping
sharing our rulebook: reinventing tactioation, bitechnology rules

all have solutions
solutions aren't that closely
we haver less than twnety years to act
none being solved

one crisis on hands, four coming
global credit crisis
aging time bomb
conventional oil depletion
eological footprint overshoot
dangerous climate change

intl system of treaties and conventions too slow and inadequate
big un summits
g eight g twenty grouping too reactive and superficial
some forty-five intl organizations; cannot handle global problems alone


nation state since seventeenth century; watch out for their own people
and territory, short term election cycles
glogal problems non territorial and long term

redesigned intl system woud do nothing about the clash
take long time to get done
only produce trivial changes
a world govt over nation states but take forever to set up;

innovative ideas; do sometyhing about the clash; ge able to be booted up fast; inject new forces that coas nationstate their political class towards mroe planet long term

global issues network
take experts where they are not where located; an expert logic; come up with detailed norm packages
experts forget where they came from and represent all humanity

network adopt norms and rate all nations ; gold, silver bronze, brown, black medal nations
in absence of world govt put presure on countries
voter info and mobilizations

need new gerrations leaving school in a a mindset knowledge and ksills combination that will give wings to any new method
more knowledge of these twenty problems, make it our problems
lmindset global citizens first, national second, local third
perspective multicultural thinking
skills:more reflective, communicative, problem solvers; research skills, teamwork second nature

iste has good fit global issues
pericurricular initiatives: eg students participate in gin like experiment, debate the problems in student led conferences

kid ipods not install without teacher permission
can't use it as disciplinary device
contract: parents only this student, do not sync with home account;
no external ipod touches
if sync you have licensing for one copy with only one computer, eg buy one .99 app then any ipod on the computer; different with amazon audio books;

it set up wireless separate--can track ip activity if claim lost
gradually worked with teachers to use large group, small group, individual

writing in the 21st century

Writing in the 21st Century
http://center.uoregon.edu/ISTE/2010/program/search_results_details.php?sessionid=51696284&selection_id=59403999&rownumber=2&max=2&gopage=

ncte 21cs literacies
http://www.ncte.org/positions/statements/21stcentdefinition

technology change: before 1900 letters; san fan earthquake had camera pics that became postcards;
writing with visuals depends on purpose
1purpose
what is new is the choice

tectonic plate example

2 relevance


3 ethics

4 genre

What visuals available? where belong with text and why? what do they add?are they a good match with the genre? will your adience need help understanding them and if so how will you provide it? do you need another visual or none at all?

key terms translation
genre, medium, adaptations
remediation, circulation, reinvention

what happens with a change in medium: eg novel on hbo vs movie because more time;

rather have book or hypertext? how do we read? how do we research?

reflection:
process by which you arfe able to asses your own work
aprocess that allows you to make connections and think about your leaning
ap process that allow you to make knowledge

to reflect 1stop flow of work
2review what you have done
3prepare to share what you have learned

reflection is a practice for all professionals; often must do together, a social process
new blooms reflection used to be evaluation, now create

writing process map: not social, linear
decide topic, research, rough draft, etc

writing should be recursive with research, peer review, revise, rough draft

framework for electronic portfolios; students think writing at school is not related to their world; in portfolio have inside and outside school,
collect, reflect, relationships between subjects become evident

national gallery of writing
galleryofwriting.org

can set up your own gallery; can identify other curators
want more than just text: links, media, anything that contributes to writing

Creating Treks with Google Maps

Maps Mashup

Many educators may be familiar with Lit Trips on Google Earth--teachers and/or students post geographical information around the storyline of great literature. Google Treks follow the same concept, but are not limited to just literature; you can create treks around any content area.
Alice Christie offered a workshop on using Google Maps for student to create content related to curriculum:
Mapping Mash-ups that Motivate: Deepen Learning Using Web 2.0 Tools . (Specific info for the class is found on the class website page ).

Educators or students can create content by created place marks on Google Maps that contain text information, links to websites, photos, movies, or any web2.0 content that can be embedded. A series of these place marks can be grouped as a "custom map" that is shared publicly or limited to specific individuals. Google Maps also allows multiple users to collaborate on the same custom map, which is ideal for classroom small group projects. Because it is web based, students can even collaborate from their respective homes if they have an internet connection.

Alice provides examples and a tutorial to help educators learn the process.

There are many pluses to using Google Maps to create Google Treks content:

• virtually any content area can be used


• it is a collaborative tool


• higher order thinking is engaged with the process


• students can incorporate any web links, media, or web2.0 tool for the content


• Google Maps is much less network intensive than Google Earth (any of you who have tried to run multiple machines with GE will know what I am talking about)

I highly recommend teachers look for ways to incorporate Google Treks into their curriculum.
