Reinventing School

For most of us an education opens doors and gives you opportunities. We are looking for new perspectives, new ideas, shared passion and reignited purpose to make this a success. The Reinventing School Challenge is a project that uses design, collaboration, technology, play and social media to engage and empower young people to effect positive change in their school community. We invite students, teachers, parents, subject matter experts all to to collaborate. Form or join a team and research, ideate, design, remix and prototype new possibilities and reinvent the school experience.

My Big reasons are:

Things in traditional educational settings need to change. We have set this challenge up to provide a space to freely share ideas and examples that are transforming and can transform learning environments. We are looking for new perspectives, new ideas, shared passion and reignited purpose to make this a success. Learning happens everywhere. We are passionate about life-long learning, we want to promote alternative learning environments and want you to also think beyond the classroom when coming up with ideas. How do you learn outside of the classroom? What technologies do you use? Where and when do you learn best? In his best selling book Drive, Dan Pink talks of the three elements of true motivation—autonomy, mastery, and purpose. The challenge is designed to give you all of the key elements needed to drive you to success. The challenge is tied to 21st Century student outcomes There is a renewed focus globally on the 3 R’s – reading, writing, and arithmetic, however if our young people are to fully participate in today’s global community, students must also master the 4 C’s – creativity, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration.

My plan will be a success when:

We have a profile in the community and we have a co-created blueprint for the ideal Australian school.
