=Key Concepts=


 * Goal today is exposure, not mastery

21st Century Learning

 * Conceptual Underpinnings
 * Knowledge as a dynamic process
 * Change as the only reliable constant
 * Learning --> A form of growth
 * Transfer
 * Personal Transformation
 * Growth --> Requires risk-taking, stepping out of our comfort zones, thinking outside of our "boxes" --> Requires creativity
 * Creativity --> Possibilities made visible by bringing seemingly unrelated things into association with one another
 * Non-linearity --> Both learning and life are messy --> Chronological, linear ways of packaging information may keep us from seeing alternative options
 * Networking
 * Conceptual associations
 * Linkage of information
 * Social connections ["Personal Learning Networks" (PLNs)]
 * Questions --> Grad school is about discovering questions, not memorizing answers
 * Quantum Possibilities
 * Build --> Networks, influence, identity
 * Build relationships (between information, Heavenly Father, other people)
 * Choices today determine tomorrow's options
 * Shift in how we do our work --> Writing spaces, research, publication, 24/7 learning, roles of teachers/learners
 * TEACHERS = craft stimulating learning environments and transformative learning experiences
 * LEARNERS = develop and contribute to personal learning networks)
