Humans 3 innate qualities-
-wired to connect
-wired to create
-wired to help humanity
As children grow and become older we squash these qualities and now we are trying to bring them back. Michael showed an example of each of the above with very young children and even a baby that was 10 minutes old. His example of connecting was a 10 minute old baby who was in his fathers arms and the dad was pulling faces and poking tongues at the baby within a few seconds the baby was trying to pull tongues back at his dad. An example of create was a seven year old girl who loved inventing. She invented a torch for her friend who had no electricity at night and couldn't complete her homework that work through the warmth in her hand and the heat transforming into energy to run the light. And lastly help humanity was a man with a pile of books try to get into a closed cupboard a baby maybe 2 walked over and opened the cupboard for the man.
Leadership-3 key parts to leadership
+Respect and reject the status quo
acknowledging what has been done, and making change
+Be an Expert and an apprentice
I am an expert but at the same time I have a lot to learn. You have to be a learner to build relationships and to learn something new
+Experiment and commit
commit to getting it right, keep working on getting a solution
Students are the most connected but also don't respect the status quo, they want to try the new stuff.
New curriculum are connecting with humanity. Our new job description is the running leader
The job of education it to produce better citizens for tomorrow, today! We don't need better leaders we need better citizens.
Pedagogy is the driver, technology is the accelerator
