The New Paradigm of Open Access to Information
10 years ago I said ‘Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given
free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That's what we're doing.’
In my Bett 2015 keynote, I look forward to explaining the journey we have taken across
that last decade, the pedagogical aspects of the Wikipedia project and why - as the
world’s 5th most visited website - Wikipedia resonates so strongly with the Bett 2015
theme ‘enhancing access to education, through technology’. Wikipedia embraces the
tensions between traditional and innovative models of education, evidence-based
education and creating collaborative minds and personalised teaching, some of the major
themes of Bett. I am excited to discuss all with you as educators and catalysts to change
internationally! See you on the 21st January – midday. Jimmy Wales, Founder, Wikipedia.

“Digital Divide” — Is Educational Technology Improving Teaching and Learning?
Educators are exponentially increasing the time and money invested in classroom
technology, but what are the results? Using data points from millions of educators and
students from around the globe, Rob Mancabelli examines the actual impact of
educational technology on teacher pedagogy and student learning. He explores a new,
growing "digital divide,” the one between schools using technology to digitize traditional,
20th Century teaching and learning, and those that are leveraging these tools to
dramatically improve teaching and learning. Perhaps, most importantly, Rob discusses the
factors that place schools on one side of the divide or the other.

The World Needs a New Curriculum
It is time to rethink our 19th century curriculum for the future — not in terms of marginal
fixes, but from first principles. Global education argues Marc Prensky, needs a new goal, a
new pedagogy, and a new sense of what is important to teach our kids.
The new goal, says Prensky is “becoming” rather than learning — becoming a good,
capable, world-improving person. Learning is a means to becoming, but there is even a
better means, which is real world accomplishment — that must become our new
pedagogy. Education must move beyond “passing on content” and beyond “artificiallycreated problem-based learning” to Accomplishment-Based Education, where the
students spend the bulk of their time and efforts solving REAL-WORLD problems —
starting in the earliest grades. Our young people all need to become modern-day
explorers of the new world they live in, and solutionaries who solve its problems.
In order to do this, Prensky argues, we no longer require a curriculum that offers the same
math, language science and history for all kids (since different students need these in
varying amounts). We need, instead, a curriculum that helps all students become the best
they can at Effective Thinking, Effective Action, Effective Relationships and Effective
Accomplishment — the skills which ALL people need to succeed in any area.
This “New Core” curriculum needs to be based on individual student passions, have
technology as its underlying foundation, and it must focus the efforts of our teachers —
who are the necessary guides and accelerators to “becoming” — on the human elements
of respect, empathy, motivation, and support of student goals, as we all become deeply —
and, with a better curriculum, wisely — symbiotic with technology.

Personalized Learning: The Teacher-Student Connection in the Age of Technology
The teacher-student connection is the centerpiece of school success: a teacher forming a
bond with students, triggering their desire to learn and guiding it in the right
direction. Technology offers crucial support, allowing the teacher to customize learning
for different students in the same class at the same time. The challenge is to find the
sweet spot, the proper relationship between teacher and technology – where the teacher
finds the students’ interests, and designs relevant learning experiences, and then deploys
technology that allows the students to learn what they love at their own pace.

Out of Our Minds: Learning to be Creative
National education systems worldwide are being reformed to meet the challenges of the
21st Century. As a respected adviser to governments in Europe, Asia and the United
States, Sir Ken argues in this powerful presentation that many countries are pushing
reforms in the wrong direction. Drawing from his groundbreaking book, Out of Our Minds:
Learning to Be Creative, he explains why too many are locked into a model of education
shaped by the Industrial Revolution and a narrow idea of academic ability. Urging schools
and colleges everywhere to rethink their basic assumptions about intelligence and
achievement, Sir Ken focuses on the vital questions: Why is it essential to promote
creativity? What’s the problem? Why do so many adults think they’re not creative? Most
children are buzzing with ideas. What happens to them as they grow up? What should be
done? Is everyone creative or just a select few? Can creativity be developed? If so, how?
In exploring these questions, Sir Ken argues for radical changes in how we educate all
students to meet the extraordinary challenges of living and working in the 21st century.
Takeaways include:
•
How education wastes more talent than it saves
•
The three core objectives of 21st Century education
•
Why we’re all smarter than we think
•
What schools and colleges should do, and how governments should help

#Error404: The Explosions-based computing show
Fuelled by the recent change in the curriculum, Fran has turned her skills to producing a
stage show all about Computer Science. “#Error 404” is a high-octane coding stage show
ideal for KS2-3. It reveals Computer Science for the problem-solving, creative and
imaginative subject it innately is and through live interactive coding, humour and
explosions(!), it excites pupils (and teachers) about the possibilities that an understanding
of coding and Computer Science can bring, empowering them with the confidence to
probe this subject further.
Come along to see the show, and hear the theory behind it.

Jermaine Hagan waved his university classmates off aged 24 and continued working hard

the UK and winner of WIRED’s start-up of the week. Which educators have inspired and
failed Jermaine along the way and why?
