If you are interested in booking me (Wesley Fryer) for a presentation or workshop (either face-to-face or over video) please visit my Speaking page on www.speedofcreativity.org/speaking.

 

Update 25 August 2010:

In 2010 I am transitioning to the website wiki.wesfryer.com for my handout and presentation/workshop links. I'm not taking content here on PBworks offline, but I have added this "update header" to all my pages as well as adding direct links to more updated versions of these pages as I mirror them / create them on wiki.wesfryer.com. There are 146 pages here on teachdigital.pbworks.com. - You can browse these in page view in addition to using the four category links provided on the homepage. Note this wiki was previously mapped to "handouts.wesfryer.com" but that domain mapping is no longer available.

 

Stay updated on my latest posts by following me on Twitter, my blog ("Moving at the Speed of Creativity") and Facebook.

Lead Differently: Digitally Informed School Leadership for the 21st Century

 

School administrators need to understand the implications changes in information and digital communication modalities should have for teachers and students in schools. This all-day workshop for administrators focuses on understanding the implications of these changes for learning, and empower campus principals to be constructive change agents for appropriate and constructive digital learning.

Podcast recording

An audio-podocast recording of part of this presentation from June 6, 2007 is available.

Goals

  1. Understand Change in Context: Reflect on and better understand the implications of rapid, discontinuous change and ubiquitous access to the world stage for 21st century learning
  2. Blended Learning: Understand and Practice Blended Learning - powerfulblending
  3. Action Plan: Resolve to follow a personal action plan for digitally informed school leadership

Guiding Philosophies

  1. 80/20: 80 percent of our learning time should be spent in conversations, hands-on activities, and interaction. 20 percent of our learning time (or less) should be spent passively listening to lecture (otherwise we sit, get and forget)
  2. 21st Century Skill Focus: Students and our society need more than a learning focus on test prep and test passing (invitation to use a different lens) - Partnership for 21st Century Skills framework, Enguage Executive Summary
  3. 2001 Revision of Bloom's Taxonomy: Elevating discourse to promote critical thinking skills
  4. Habits of Mind: It is not enough to learn facts, we must help our students and fellow educators cultivate our thinking skills
  5. Good Leadership Matters: It's easy to teach or lead poorly. Inspired, visionary and passionate leadership makes a difference.
