ICOT 2013

ICOT 2013
Ewan Macintosh
Founder of 'No Tosh'

Creative industries  don't always have  a metric indicator...educationalists seem to want a numerical indicator
Creativity is having a million ideas , disposing of many and coming up with many more.
The most successful people know what their success model is , ie what are the beliefs and dispositions they use..... It is not just an intuitive feeling

All successful people 
-     Know why.                                           Making the learning whole( David Perkins)
 -    Provocative Agents                        Guy Claxtons. 6 pillars
Responsibility
Collaborate
Respect
Real things.    Not pseudo examples,,,make them real and get up and do it...ie make the film, clean up the river etc
Choice                 
   -    Trust the process

    -   Live to perform.

The why a kid should do / 
learn.    something ...the germain 

Not making an incremental improvement , but a transformation.
When you put up your questions clarify googlable and non googlable

Performing your learning. Ted talks to a real audience and eventually on line 


Michael Polh about 10 years  too late, we have well moved on

Changing the World?   Are we ?



So what for us ????
Move on from first order thinking which is using the word improving then we went to level 2 outside facilitator.....conscious and systematic change ..2nd order
We want to be third order ...vision change .......transformation in change.....we are shooting for this
 3rd order through our inquiry learning process....anchoring all the what you can do onto the how .

Explicitly improving all students teachers and administrators abilities 
We are systematically ensuring that we are  taking the tools and structures available to our children so they can use and manipulate them for their own purposes through life and learning

Download the PowerPoint
Get his book  growing thinking schools ...this outlines my approach over 6 years to implement aspects each year and then pulled it together with Lane ...ie connected curriculum,Habits of mind, questioning, graphic organisers,rich tasks,...these then become our toolbox to increase the integrity of our inquiry process

Key Note Speaker
Kerry Spackman
The most powerful force in the world
You can have lots of conferences ,do a lot of research, but if nothing changes then everyone has wasted their time.
The power of thought.
Making a small difference every day.......making a little dent in the Universe
Book.........the Ant and the Ferrari
Two ways to make change..top down ..an inconvenient truth
Bottom up...lots of scientific research...no change 
Thoughts are the most powerful things in our world
If you want to be successful ..you have to work hard...thinking about it will not make it happen.....action is required
Beliefs have consequences when they don't match reality
There are thoughts that transpire into actions that we collectively must hold society accountable too.....thoughts are not all free and without consequences.....something are the best for all and need to be enforced and encouraged by all 

Level of social development. 5
1 is me 
2 important people
3 people I know
4 people I don't know
5 society as an institution

Plotting the difference we make as a result of a direct intervention..........how can we do this????

If we can make people's life full maybe a lot of social  problems would go away

Real passion and real emotion so our kids run to the classroom ..not just teachers who teach.



Dr Edward De Bono
Creativity and innovation
Talks and illustrates with a pen and document reader
View the you tube video 
Excellent but not enough
Unless you are sensitive to value then you are never going to know a great idea when you see one
Judgement /movement = provocation is required to initiate movement to suspend or shift  judgements
Lateral thinking is created by a provocation...a what if.....yes I have got that , but what else can we think of?    Can we deliver that concept in another way?Lanes so want.  ..... Is a provocation.   What does wit mean , what are you thinking, how did you get there in your thinking?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjSjZOjNIJg&feature=youtube_gdata_player



Dr Edward De Bono and Dr John Edwards 
An opening with Dr De Bono and then an interview of De Bono  by Edwards 
Most of our thinking is 1 of the two following types
Standard symptoms. ....standard response 
Or recognition
However this is EBNE.  Excellent but not enough........it is thinking hindered by only considering the truth
However perception is what hinders most of our thinking ...logic only counts  for about 20%  of our thinking capacity ..so we need to unlock our perceptions and view things creatively in spite of our perceptions
Swsw , thinking hats , thinking maps , and tools allow kids to explore the options to open their minds to other possibilities
Designing a way forward from different perspectives is progressive thinking!
