8 A step back in time
9 1930s: Revolutionary Change Progressive educators argued against the one-room schoolhouse: we need larger, centralized schools they will provide students with a better, more standardized education.
10 What caused the change? Improved roads And a new technology Can you guess what it was?
11 The School Bus 1936, Dodge built the first school bus Caused the one room schoolhouse to become obsolete.
12 Fast forward to the 1990s. Another Revolution Can you guess what it was?
13 The Internet Revolution In business In education In personal life
14 In Clovis Unified 1992: The Internet and World Wide Web 1993: Alta Sierra Intermediate opened with a computer on every teacher s desk connected by : Laptop program, one Internet connection in each intermediate school. 1999: Every teacher in Clovis USD issued a laptop computer connected to Internet
15 Internet Revolution / Online Learning Changing education in the 21 st century Same way as the school bus changed education in the 1930s

18 About our students the Net Generation / Gen Y 80 million in this generation Ages Born
19 Gen Y Characteristics Gen Y believe in instant gratification, outcome driven, values relationships and lifestyle over career, and no sense of history (because they can Google what they need when they want it). Jason Dorsey, Presentation in Clovis Unified, August 2008.
20 Gen Y Tech Use This generation are tech dependent! Technology is embedded into their being. Their most important device is their cell phone! - Dorsey,
21 Gen Y Tech Use For this generation, technology is like air. - Don Tapscott, Author, Grown Up Digital, VIDEO from Don Tapscott: ex.php/the-dumbest-generation/

47 We re looking for team members, collaborators, and innovators Some to hire now, some in the future Some to become part of the larger network of learners Everything we are doing can be applied in the face-to-face classroom You may be hired this year or in three years Developing program, so we have made our best estimate at growth and what we need, but that may change
48 Dan Pink. (2005) A Whole New Mind change is inevitable, and when it happens, the wisest response is not to wail or whine but to suck it up and deal with it.
49 Courses to begin Grades 9 and 10 English, science, math, history, Spanish, PE and a few electives.
