Games are designed to fail and then try again, etc so building up

Flow Theory and Games?
Flow is widely accepted to be one of the fundamental reasons that people play games.  It is the essence of games.  For game designers, the question is not whether flow is important, but, rather how long you can keep players in flow.

How long can they keep you in the state of flow??

Design Thinking

Innovative,ll

The transformation of a business-as-usual culture into one focused on innovation and driven by design involves activities  decisions and attitudes

Ideas, then refine them once consumer tried it.

Build a prototype then give back and see if it works backwards and forwards between to sets of people

need to understand as think and feel then can satisfy them.
Design thinking it Model

Empathise
Define
Ideate
Prototype
Test
Reflect

LEADERSHIP

DESIGN THINKING IN LEADERSHIP

We think we are done to quickly

the human rule - all design activity ultimately social in nature
The amibiguity rule - design thinkers much preserve   etc in class notes

Design Thinking?  IDEOs??

Assessment description -  plan to emplement a change initiative with your main stakeholders over a period of no longer than 6 months.


Reflect on your leadership from your digital 2 activity and the insights into your leadership you

Lean 


human centred, mindful of process bias towards action, radical collaberation, culture or prototyping, show dont tell.


these are your stakeholders -
Innovation Diffusion lifecycle

innovators        Early Adopters          Early Majority      Late Majority         Laggards

me                      target your              See if it works      
                           early adopt             then I will try it
                                                          see your proof first


Only profile on first three sections above mainly the second as I am the innovator

 whereas innovators are Cosmopolites, early adopters are localities,  This adopter category, more than any other, has the highest degrees of opinion leadership in most systems.  Potential adopters look to early adopters for advice and information about an innovation

early adopters dont care just want to try
early majority - want to know it will work first

early adopters like phrase and like to be leaders, then become the peer educators

Identify your main stakeholders.  Analyse which ones are relevant for this change initiative.

How do you consciously identify your early adopters:  Who do you need to lead (in different skatholder groups) so that others will follow?  Mainly focus on the early adopters -

Week 13

Teaching as inquiry

the organised pursuit of curiosity

teaching as inquiry
where teachers inquire into their own practice and use evidence to make decisions about ways to change that practice for the benefit of students


inquiry learning
A process where students co-construct their learning in an authentic context

involve me and I will understand


we want to understand the world around us - ask questions
What will I learn today (a question)

Constructivest - learn ask questions, reflect - not teacher learning

Inquiry - teacher is the faciliator

plan units
develops a question or a topic to explore
designing activities to engage students
open ended questions
research and investigate
present and discuss
reflect

levels of inquiry
structured - teacher directed - question then step by step instructions
guided - students take more responsibility - teacher guides the inquiry for direction
open - students take lead in question and methods - require higher order thinking

Fertile questions
Open
undermining - makes the learner questions their basic assumptions
Rich- cannot be answered without careful and lengthy research, often able to be broken into subsidiary questions
connected relevant to the learners
chargedhas an ethical
practical

Virtual Substitute Teacher:
Introducing the concept of a classroom poxy
helping to replace the problem of the teacher being absent and the relieving teachers often not right subject, not ready, not organised.  Technology can help overcome issue of teacher absence.  Not replacing the teacher but helping for when human absent for whatever reason.

Scafolding - already have teacher aides assisting the teacher, although a human, could this area be taking over by the BOT
Marking would be great - already started with some programmes

WEEK 12

What is the most innovative learning space you've been in?

spacious, glass sliders, amazing furniture,

elements make a space innovative:

freedom, flexible, colour, comfortable, furniture, clean, non conventional rooming, wide open spaces, vistas,

How much does the space matter

Maker movement:  inventor not we are all makers and problem solvers

Week 11

Agile - Lean education
Cultural of learning in our schools.  But we don't have reliable ways of creating this culture.  Agile does.

www. agilemanifesto.org core is the four statements -
rewritten for education
Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
meaning learning over measurement of learning
stakeholder collaboration over constant negotiations
responding to change over following a plan

Theory
agile is fundamentally about learning, people, and change, - three things we struggle with in education and handle poorly at the present time.

Agile vs Waterfall

Waterfall approach - can not change from start to finish - can not go back up
Agile  work together to proritize the next feature

Cost, scope and schedule - wait longer
-work with the team
As Steve McConnell sys, it's possible for a salmon to go back up a waterfall, but its not easy

muuda - waste

Week 5 - Videos to watch before Class

Ted X Beacon Street

Mitch Resnick:  Let’s teach kids to code (2012)

read but not write with new technologies, fluent with new technologies which means they need to be able to write their own or code.

Physical world and the virtual world - connections - motions for camera.  using microphone so done on sound voices

Read and write opens up other opportunities. Not just to become a professional writer

Learn to code

Code to learn - variables - creating scripts, process of design, experiment with new Ideas, glimmer of idea turn into complex ideas and breakdown to slimmer ideas, how to fix bugs, how to collaborate with others. Reasoning systematically

The poetry of Programming

Linda Liukas

Coding next generation 

Ruby’s learn through play - loops, steps to a loop etc.  problem solving by flow charts

The more approachable we feel technology is, the more we play with systems, take them apart, tweak and tinker with them, the better sense of what’s possible we have.

growth mindset

Carol Dweck - 

we have understood intelligence to be fixed.  now we understand it can be fostered and grow over time

Mindset can influence your compacity to learn

Cuy Claxton - building learning power - exercises our learning muscles brain like body develop and exercise it will get stronger

Implications for learning

Metal attitude to learn and grow

Language - do we talk about work or learning?

• labels, not very bright, talented, trier, 
• use the word work hard unenjoyable piece of work etc but if we talk about learning, ongoing, journey, persuasion

Purpose of class displays

do we display finished products or learning in progress on our walls - end result or learning along the way

The power of not yet (carol deck) I can’t do maths, i have no creativity - YET we can improve it lifts the lid so we can improve

What is the role of praise?

Effort and persistence v intelligence and talent?

What do we praise when we give back 

praise effort, persistance, as opposed to clever, foster working at something

Is it bad to fail?

Grades, feedback, first attempt in learning, iterative loops.  I haven’t succeeded with this yet. 

(Fail first attempt in learning)

Hattie - feedback is incrediably important to learning.

give one or two next learning steps, away from grade 

Do we need target programmes

Inclusive education do we still need targeted programmes (gate)

do we position ourselves as learners?  Life-long learning for all.  Comfortable with our mistakes, how could we adopt mindset in our classroom and our own learning

Carol Dweck:  The power of believing that you can improve  September 2014

The power of yet

grade:  Not Yet

High School grades in Chicago:

I love a challenge!  A growth mindset

Fixed mindset - failed couldn’t do it

The tyranny of now.  What do they do next?

Cheat vs Study

Find someone who did words

Run from difficulty

Abilities can be developed, learned, processed it

What can we do: Bride the yet

Praise wisely not talent or intelligence

but praise the process 

Rewarding yet

YET or NOT YET

Changing Mindsets -push out of comfort zone, the neurones in brain build new stronger connections and getting smarter

Ive wasted my life:  Effort into school work, relationship with family and kids at school.  

Human Right to leave in places that create that growth,  live in places filled with YET

Interview With Andrew Patterson

Competence - confidence build up

confidence course, 6 one hour lessons and finish with 3 minute speech

Take barriers away, show them what they might get into unlimited opportunities they come quite fearless.  Take an idea and run with it.  Try new ideas, be disruptive, design thinking, take complex problems and break down to very small parts and then join them together. Go for it.

Week four

trello - has been suggested as a way to put my practice work together, will have to do some PD with Chris M as he uses this.  Also will help with Chris B issue.

Knowing is not enough, we must apply
Willing is not enough, we must do

Theory -
Style - how  you put it into practice

Creativity - soon as asked for that loose me  not creative

Constructionist Building

Construtivisim  Social scaffolding, learning from or on top

Why are educationalist all so old that we are quoted

Reflections

Found very flustered after first half hour, not knowing where to go and what to do.  Too rushed once in groups became more aware - but still relying on those around to fill in my technology knowledge gaps .......
