Teaching is done … Teacher to studentTeacher to student and student to student (progressivism)

Schools are located… In a building (brick) In a building or online (brick and click)
Everywhere (thoroughly infused into society: cafes, bowling alleys, bars, workplaces, etc.)
Parents view schools as… Daycare Daycare A place for them to learn,
too
Teachers are… Licensed professionals Licensed professionals Everybody, everywhere
Hardware and software in schools…
Are purchased at great cost and ignored
Are open source and available at lower cost
Are available at low cost and are used purposively
Industry views graduates as… Assembly line workers
As ill-prepared assembly line workers in a knowledge economy
As co-workers or entrepreneurs

The invisible use of technologies and
competencies
How...
do we teach future generations?
What...
are relevant skills and competencies for the 21st century?
What...
are the roles of technologies?
Soft skills.
Learning in non-formal spaces.
An economy of talents.
Invisible technologies.
Invisible technologies.
1.Connect knowledge.
2.Support “knowledge brokering.”
3.Enable the translation of knowledge to beneficial applications (innovation).
Invisible technologies.
Focus on how to learn, not what to learn.
At school At home
Professors choose the activity Students choose the activity
Insufficient time for deeper exploration Time for deeper exploration exists
Learning is the purpose Learning is incidental
Individual expertise is not recognized or is rejected Individual expertise is celebrated
Limited resources More resource options
Model of extension Model of depth
Technology and learning
Cases and experiences we can
learn from
Learning occurs in a continuum.

10 key ideas from Invisible Learning
1Invisible Learning is not a single idea. It is composed of many ideas.
2We need to take into consideration the tremendous impacts of
accelerating change.
3Invisible Learning focuses on how to learn, not what to learn.
4Rethinking the formal institutions of education should lead us to more
openness.
5Most of the discourse around innovation in education has been around infrastructure, but doesn’t
focus on new strategies for knowledge acquisition or transfer.
6Reinventing learning doesn’t mean we need to start from scratch.
7Education is not an “event.”It is a part of a lifelong continuum.
8Mindware is our best technology.
9Normative forecasting tools can help us build education futures that are relevant in the Invisible Learning
proto-paradigm.
