We want to provide our students with unprecedented opportunities for 21st Century Learning (collaboration, creation, communication, inquiry-based learning).
The Modern Learning Environment (MLE) is about equity of opportunity. Ubiquitous access to technology now means all of our students, of all ability levels will have an equal chance of success here…all of the time.
A MLE is a place that lays down a foundation for successful careers and fulfilling employment.
In a MLE we want to unlock the possibility of personalized learning for all our young people, so that they can seek out their passions and achieve excellence.
A MLE is a place of learning beyond school walls so that our students can benefit from both formal and informal learning opportunities.
Our MLE school will be technology-rich demanding New Pedagogies that improve academic outcomes.

You’ve been asked to develop a statement that articulates your vision for introducing 1 to 1 across your schools.
Now go around your table and have each person articulate why they made the choices they did.
Then work with your colleagues on your table to develop policy priorities... firstly, see if you can agree as a group which you see as the most significant, 2nd most significant etc., and arrange your Sticky Notes accordingly (10-15 mins)

Vision: equity – improving low achieving schools
Vision: improving literacy, numeracy and graduation rates
Vision: personalize learning to encourage autonomy and self-paced study
Vision: foster collaboration and change the mindset
Uses technology for improving teacher pedagogical capacity
Advanced use of video analysis for pre-service training
1st focus is technology for teacher professional development
2nd focus is technology to serve pedagogical needs
“The pedagogical process has been successful in all schools where the system was implemented. We have a research and development system with short-, medium-, and long-term goals; for example, they are working now to use CRM in the cloud with Microsoft Windows Azure.”
“Through the Partners in Learning program and webinars, we are able to expose our teachers to a wide range of resources and professional development opportunities. In the classroom, Microsoft solutions support the pedagogy used by our teachers.” Adrian Lim, principal

13. Critical Conversations
What is the vision you have for the future of your schools?
What might learning at your schools be like in 5 years’ time… and how will access to ubiquitous technology shift what learning in your schools looks like?
Redefine Vision
Without a clearly defined vision and goals based on solid knowledge, it will be difficult to create a successful initiative in which the strategies of all stakeholders are aligned. There are three steps in this phase:
As we move into the second decade of the 21st century, there is an urgent need for us to realign, rethink, and re-imagine the schools our young people currently attend. Our ability to do this objectively will be a critical influence on the extent to which the ‘institution of school’ stays relevant and the way in which we are able to craft credible alternatives that genuinely meet the needs of our young modern learners.
These are the essential first steps that ensure a base of knowledge for all future steps. This phase is focused on learning and teaching, not on technology capabilities.
Key project members for phase 1 include district and school leaders, including principals and teacher leaders. As we work through Phase 1 and the first three steps, we’ll engage in a series interactive discussions where we will seek to start formulating answers to these questions.
