How big is the change?
“The Internet is one of “four fundamental changes information technology since humans learned to speak “

New Digital Divide
“There’s NO app for that.”

The importance of data
Own the data, own the story
Counterintuitive
Frameworks
Technology is woven into every aspect of our lives, and education is no exception. With the belief that technology can make a substantial impact on schools and students, three research organizations - The Greaves Group, The Hayes Connection and One-to-One Institute - established Project RED: Revolutionizing Education. Initially these organizations conducted a national survey of technology programs in 1,000 schools, which is the first and only national research focusing on academic results and the financial implication of education technology. The findings showed that if effectively implemented, technology programs can lead to improved student achievement and significant return on investment.
With a call to action, Project RED is now launching the Project RED Community: From Research to Results. We look forward to building this community together with our members, so join the Project RED Community now to become part of our story and help transform education.

Nine Key Factors to Student Achievement

Key Elements for building effective and impactful technology initiatives.
Why Intel Education Created the K-12 Blueprint
In hopes of preparing all students—regardless of socioeconomic status—for the modern workforce through digital inclusion, Intel hosted a small conference in 2000, bringing together a group of roughly 30 leaders in the education eco system for a series of collaborative, face-to-face meetings. The participants worked together to create the founding document and principles behind the K-12 Blueprint. The K-12 Blueprint model was based on these conversations and brainstorming sessions—all ideas recorded and all minutes transcribed—with Intel going back to the group to get additional snippets or clarification points. The discussion focused on the common areas necessary for successful implementation of digital curriculum. Seven areas— Leadership, Policy, Curriculum and Assessment, Funding, Infrastructure, Professional Development, and Results—came up consistently during the discussions, with these are forming the structure of the K-12 Blueprint model.
"We rate, educate, and advocate for kids, families and schools"
Example #1: Professional Development
How do I provide enough PD for my teachers? (20th Century)
vs.
Can my teachers learn each day from their networks? (21st Century)
Are we literate?
National Council of Teachers of English
NCTE 21st Century Literacies
Proficiency with the tools of technology
Building cross-cultural relationships to solve problems
Designing and sharing information for global communities
Managing, analyzing & synthesizing multiple streamsof simultaneous information
Creating, critiquing, and evaluating multimedia texts
Acting ethically with these technologies
What's our literacy grade?
Common Core
What gets measured, gets managed
Seat time and degrees
Example #2: Policies
Risk equation
Innovative 21st Century Teaching = Potential for trouble
Flip the risk equation
Two of many factors that are not “The Usual Suspects”
Teacher belief systems, student technology skills, unshared access to
technology in the home, frequency of discussion in grade level or team
level meetings, teacher confidence level with technology, teachers’
personal technology usage patterns, etc.
Part IV: The Implications of 21st Century Learning for Our Schools
Our students need us to make this shift
Schools that prepare students to have15 to 20 jobs over the course of his lifetime
“The end of the cold war and the rise of the Internet released the pentup aspirations of a billion people that look like us.”

Fundamentally different assumptions
Assumption 1
Assumption 1I am one of millions of teachers, but I’m the most important one,because I connect my students to all the others.

Assumption 2
Assumption 2My students will learn from me,how to learn without me.
Assumption 3
Assumption 3My students' "knowledge" combinestheir skills and their networks.
