FACT:
  Social learning
     isn’t new;
it’s just enabled!

       It is not about
      the technology;
   it is about what the
  technology enables.
What’s OUT:

ā€œ My content is so important,
 Iā€Ÿll just touch on all of it in my
 75-minute session.ā€
What’s IN:
  ā€œoutcomes-focusedā€
 and ā€œlearner-centeredā€
ļ‚§ What matters most first…then:
ļ‚§ Desired outcomes
ļ‚§ What achievement looks like
ļ‚§ ā€œNeed to knowā€ filter
ļ‚§ Learner engagement
ļ‚§ Review, reflection, application

          #3: Games & simulations are used
                for every content area
#5: Peer-to-peer learning blossoms
              #6: Expert & credibility ratings
              create trusted search networks
