      Part 1

      The Why: It’s Time to Shake Up Learning

      line

      As much as you love or hate change, it’s inevitable, and it’s affecting our schools and our number one priority: student learning. To be a change agent, you must grasp change both historically and with vision for the future. It’s important that we as educators of the future workforce understand what twenty-first-century change means and how it has changed learning.

      We are at a tipping point in education and on the verge of the paradigm shift that has been discussed for many years now. However, the barriers to the revolution have us stuck in the old ways. Not to say we haven’t made progress, but we still have a long way to go.

      A lot of people have been throwing technology at the problems in education, hoping for a panacea that will magically deliver us to the twenty-first century, but technology is not the answer. The shift that needs to happen in education starts with you and your drive to shake up learning.

      Chapter 1

      21st Century Change

      line

      The only thing constant is change.

      —Heraclitus

      Change is everywhere. Whether it’s your status, your profile picture, your device, or following the latest trends, it’s hip to change it up. Change—in all its forms—is not only trendy, it’s trending. Change is so cool; it’s the new black. In fact, by the time you finish this book, all kinds of changes will have occurred. A slew of new platforms and applications will have emerged. I hope your decision to read this book is a sign you are ready and willing to embrace change. Maybe you even embraced the digital version of this book. Maybe you’re taking notes on a tablet. Maybe not. Either way, the future is here, and technology cannot be ignored. The exponential changes are staggering. It truly is a new frontier. New technologies are giving rise to new settlements—and new jobs, services, rules, and regulations—across the world’s vast digital landscape, a digital Wild West.

      Keeping up with the changes in education technology is one of the greatest challenges educators face. The pace at which digital tools are emerging is quite staggering. As an instructional technology specialist, digital learning coach, or whatever my newest title happens to be, my job is to help teachers understand how to use these tools in their classrooms to benefit students. The challenge is not only keeping up with new technologies released daily but also staying current on well-established applications such as G Suite, which are continually updated. It’s a race we are not winning, nor will we ever. All we can do is try to filter out what is unnecessary and drill down to what is most worthwhile to give students and teachers the biggest bang for the
