21 C Be Very Afraid - Listen to learners

GIVE CHILDREN A VOICE  stephen heppell   21C learning day 2

Connect to people, experts, other children outside school via email/ skype to find answers
Form own authentic vertical groups with team roles- real NGOs.  project based learning
Children's engagement with technology is going up but their dissatisfaction with the curriculum is going down. - turn it round - listen to them in design
They can morph into wonderful students if conditions and activities are right
Empower them to make choices and share and borrow ideas with each other to make change
How good might learning be? - listen to learners- must offer compelling seductive visions of why they should learn. - what do they want and need?
