Making the world your classroom | District Administration Magazine
Julie Lindsay believes that, in today’s increasingly turbulent societies, it is vital that children experience other cultures and develop the skills that will help them in a connected world. These learners will be “better prepared to be productive and compassionate citizens in a global economy and they are able to improve their communication skills, collaborate effectively and be ready for multicultural workspaces,” she says. Empowering educators with the tools to foster this environment in the classroom is a critical part of the process.

15/05/2016 - Schools increasingly need to prepare young people for an interconnected world where they will live and work with people from different backgrounds and cultures. As a first step to understanding young people’s attitudes, values and knowledge of global issues, the OECD is currently working on a new test to be included in the 2018 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). At the meeting of G7 Education Ministers that took place in Kurashiki, Japan, on 14 May, Ministers noted that this assessment may well provide a metric to measure progress in this area.

The digital imperative….this is Lauren’s story about global collaboration | Flat Connections
I often use the term ‘digital imperative’ to describe why and how learning needs to be digital, online and embrace both local as well as global learning modes. Digital fluency includes learning in both synchronous and asynchronous learning environments coupled with the ability to create and co create ideas, artefacts, solutions. The potential to use digital and online technologies to learn with the world and impact positively the lives of others is something we did not have when I went to high school….but we have it now, so let’s apply it!

All You Need to Know About Twitter's 140 Character Update
From today, Twitter is cutting back on what types of content will use up its 140-character limit. Now, @names in replies, media attachments (like photos, GIFs, videos, and polls) and quoted Tweets will no longer be counted against the valuable 140 characters that make up a tweet. This allows for richer public conversations that are easier to follow on Twitter and ensures people can attach media to tweets without sacrificing the characters they have to express themselves.

5 Ways Teachers Can Participate in Their Own Professional Development
You don’t need to be a Dickens scholar to understand that for many teachers it is both the best of times and the worst of times. The freedom to choose an assortment of apps, videos and open educational resources that can augment - if not replace - traditional curriculum for any given unit or lesson plan is empowering. Learning how other teachers put these tools into their own practice via Twitter Chats, EdCamps and other collaborative environments is exhilarating.

Collaborative School Culture - this is the meeting that will challenge the thinking of all who are in attendance. There is a sharing of ideas - what works and that does not work, and why. It feels like action research is happening all the time. Teachers are taking notes, reflecting on what others are sharing. The shared stories affirm a vision that identifies the scope of relevant values and beliefs. All are driven by an intrinsic desire to see all students succeed. The weak teachers are uncomfortable. The meeting feels like a good workout.

Making and Breaking Domain of One’s Own — Hybrid Pedagogy
From a keynote by Martha Burtis, featured on the Hybrid Pedagogy website. Martha concludes: "I can guarantee that if you have a domain of your own stuff will break. It will break in some predictable, easy-to-fix ways and probably in some totally weird, tearing-your-hair out kind of ways. Your students will experience this too. And it will be frustrating and terrible. And it will not be standardized or easily consumed. It will not be easily defined or put in a box. It will be gloriously, awfully messy. And you may have to switch directions or gears, and I hope that when you do you talk to your students about what happened and why it happened — and that you work together to try and figure this out."

New Models of Open and Distance Learning ~ Stephen Downes
Historically most learning that has ever taken place has taken place in a classroom with a teacher giving instruction and students reading books and writing on paper. Though the 20th century, however, more and more learning has been taking place outside the classroom, using technology to reach students at a distance. For example, Australia’s ‘School of the Air’ used wireless radio transmissions to send lessons to children growing up on isolated sheep stations.[ii] And of course institutions like Britain’s Open University became expert providing learning by correspondence.

Global education: Leading pedagogical change in a flat world
The outlier global education leader
In an attempt to categorise emerging practices, new labels for global education leaders include the term “outlier.” According to Arteaga (2012) an outlier teacher is a K-12 educator who self-directs to create and develop an innovative pedagogy using emerged or emerging digital social media through collaborative and global open networking. We need to examine the outlier phenomenon as it applies to recent experiences in terms of education leaders who may be identified as outliers, and secondly, education leaders who need to be able to identify outliers in their learning environments in order to positively support them. Global education leadership either needs to emulate or be able to recognize and support this as a vehicle for purposeful professional action leading to ubiquitous learning. This also has implications for recruitment within a learning institution to ensure outliers are included and that innovation in global learning is being supported from within.What are some new pedagogical approaches?
Flat learning is part of an emerging pedagogical approach enabled by online technologies and has parallels with connected learning, but in many ways goes beyond just connecting.A global education leader must understand these three essential actions to flatten the learning:
-
Connect the learning – it is the responsibility of the learner and education leader to connect through their PLN and PLC networks and to understand the consequences of these connections (cultural, social and political)
-
Build global citizenship practices – a responsible, active learner will be a reliable contributor and collaborator
-
Collaborate for shared outcomes and solutions – partnerships and new global learning opportunities are a lot closer through the use of emerging technologies
A global education leader has to know how to build virtual and real learning communities – and then blend them! Maybe the “real” (synchronous and face-to-face) is taken for granted…but its definition needs expounding here. It is one thing to build a working and learning internal (to the school or the organization) learning community, but another to then broaden this to include “significant others.” As a generalization, one thing educators traditionally have not been good at is sharing, and once the words “community” and “collaboration” are used it often sends them scuttling back to the classroom. Leadership is paramount in this scenario for building communities online, and cultivating to see them grow and expand.
A global education leader must understand online citizenship modes and behaviours and also model and promote a positive mindset for global connections. Being online as a leader with other learners is an essential requirement here and yes, often there are a myriad of other priorities on the learning landscape vying for time, however leadership = digital = online = citizenship for learning….it’s that simple! Individualistic approaches to Internet use often produce ethical blindspots and “disconnects”.
The missing piece?
An even newer concept, “Cosmogogy”, coined by the author of this post, refers to the study of learning while connected to the world by using online technologies, whereby the context of learning is “with” rather than “about.” This puts the learner at the center of the “universe,” a node on the network, with the capability of reaching out and connecting to anything and anyone in order to find information and build understanding, in order to collaborate and to co-create with anyone, anywhere, anytime. It also means learners approach problems and solutions from a more openly networked and in fact global perspective to the point that “unflat” learning feels strange and closed in.A global education leader knows how to foster and support approaches to learning while connected to others in any part of the world. The leader, most importantly, considers the benefits and advantages of who you work with and what you construct together.

"an outstanding work of seminal yet practical scholarship that will prove to be an enduringly useful resource for classroom teachers and school curriculum developers seeking to nurture a global learning experience for children and students"
In "The Global Educator: Leveraging Technology for Collaborative Learning and Teaching", Professor Lindsay illustrates the need for intercultural understanding and collaboration to personalize learning, achieve curriculum objectives and bring the world to our students by answering these key questions:
- How imperative is it that educators connect themselves and their classrooms to the world?
- What emerging education leadership styles are shifting pedagogy and why should we be taking notice of this?
- What are the essential benefits of embedding online global collaboration into the curriculum?
- What are simple steps that educators in the classroom can take to become more globally minded and start to change their practice?
- How are emerging digital technologies supporting this move to online global learning and collaboration?
"Thoroughly 'user friendly' in composition, tone, and commentary, "The Global Educator" is unreservedly recommended for academic library Contemporary Education reference collections and supplemental studies reading lists."

A big thank you to the many Twitter followers and #theglobaleducator hashtag users who have let me know they have received and are now reading the book! I look forward to your reviews as well.

8 digital skills we must teach our children | World Economic Forum
The digital world is a vast expanse of learning and entertainment. But it is in this digital world that kids are also exposed to many risks, such as cyberbullying, technology addiction, obscene and violent content, radicalization, scams and data theft. The problem lies in the fast and ever evolving nature of the digital world, where proper internet governance and policies for child protection are slow to catch up, rendering them ineffective.Moreover, there is the digital age gap. The way children use technology is very different from adults. This gap makes it difficult for parents and educators to fully understand the risks and threats that children could face online. As a result, adults may feel unable to advise children on the safe and responsible use of digital technologies. Likewise, this gap gives rise to different perspectives of what is considered acceptable behaviour.So how can we, as parents, educators and leaders, prepare our children for the digital age? Without a doubt, it is critical for us to equip them with digital intelligence.
