Follow instructions to roll dice online.

 * 1) === Put the numbers you rolled next to your name. ===
 * === NOTE: Numbers may only be used once. If someone else has already rolled either of the numbers you see on the dice, roll again until you see a unique number combination. ===
 * === If you roll doubles you must input twice. ===
 * 1) === The number on the first die is your position in the discussion line. 1 being the highest and 6 being the lowest. ===
 * 2) === The number on the second die is the relative priority of your input. 1 being the highest and 6 being the lowest. ===
 * === An input is an explanation, observation, or link to further information that is relevant to the subject indicated in the Clue. ===
 * === High priority input = worthy of immediate and serious consideration. ===
 * === Low priority input = interesting and helpful, but not necessarily critical. ===
 * == Each input on the page may be no more than **__140 characters__.** ==
 * === After everyone has given input, additional comments may be added. The 140 rule applies for these as well. ===
 * === The individual with the lowest priority on input writes a one paragraph summary of the educational/teaching implications of all the observations and research. ===
 * === This responsibility will rotate among the class members, e.g. If you write it on clue 1, you are not eligible again until everyone has a turn. ===

====//NOTE: Project 21 is a bit outside the box. A question came up as to whether you should respond to the clue with research or with your own thoughts. The answer is YES! By the time you get to the Project 21 assignment, you'll have read a good portion of A Whole New Mind, and you'll have read two lectures and several articles, viewed videos, and given some thought to Digital Citizenship. (There are more digital citizenship websites listed in assignment 2d, if you want to do that one first!) As you take a look at the first clue, remember that a picture is worth a thousand words. What does that picture represent in regard to everything you've done so far - in this class and outside of this class? Synthesize your work, and, where appropriate, reference videos, articles, or readings. Have fun with it!//====

--- = Clue # 1 - What does it tell you about the 21c Learner? = Roll the dice using this link :

Put the numbers you rolled next to your name. The first number determines the order of the discussion, the second the relative priority of your input. Everyone must comment by Sunday at the latest in order to give time to others. Comments need not be sequential. The goal is to accumulate information. The person with the lowest 2nd number will summarize the educational or teaching implications of the information. = Click on Edit to change the text below, type, then click on save. =

EG - So for me, the picture means that I'm running away! LOL! No seriously, I kind of think that is is symbolic of our society, I remember in college economics that there was the Laffer (sp) curve which is equivalent to the Nike symbol. We have combined 2 things into 1 here. I'm thinking that more eye-opening things along these lines will be in store in the upcoming weeks with this class. Will add more research items in the upcoming weeks. Character count =359 (219 excess) The student had done the combining in this case, what does that mean? ======

vt- The learner was vibrant and active. Gratz played an important part in the life of the learner since the school's name is on the shoe. The sole says the learner is not worn down but strong. [|http://techcrunch.com/2007/06/15] /the-rise-of-the-prosumer/ Perfect link - what does it have to do with the learner? Character count = 210 (70 excess)

AP - This picture to me concentrates on the right brain and the creative side. The bright colors show a person who is creative and willing to take risks in their learning and their life. By seeing the Gratz Logo, it shows that they are proud of where they come from. The sole is composed of two different patterns meeting together. This represents, to me, the combination of their thoughts in different ways. Character count = 333 (193 excess) Right brain is on the right track, but as Pink suggests it will be the mark of a generation, not just an individual.

__Summary of Educational Implications: Amy __
AP - We all view the learner as different with this clue. We look at the picture with different eyes and see that the learner can be described with different qualities. Both Vaness and I saw that the learner had a vibrant and creativeness to them. Vanessa and I also pointed out that Gratz was an important aspect of their learning process. Elizabeth emphasized that we are combining two things into one and bringing them into one. All of these clues and qualities are important. As teachers, it is true that we are going to have to often think outside the box and accept our creative learners as well as our standard learners that fit into the "school mold." We are going to see learners that struggle with the blending of information and ideas and simply see it as the clue is broken into varying colored blocks. As educators, we must concentrate on how we can incorporate all of these learners into our classroom. We should show them how those that are less creative can be creative and those who are extremely creative can blossom in education as well. As we continue the next couple weeks, we will continue to develop an understanding of the technology our students have and how we can change to aid them in their education growth. Comment: Amy- you were on the edge of the idea, but didn't quite leap in. 21c education is not just about differentiated learning and "different" types of learners, it is about the world of the learner that invites him/her to be creative and to personalize even the most mundane objects like an m&m or a shoe. If you follow the shoe to the Nike website, you will find an incredible number of options for this one shoe - something unheard of in a previous generation.

About Clue #1: The 21st century learner is a prosumer, a consumer who customizes the products and experiences in his/her life. This customizable sneaker is just one example of prosumerism. This generation customizes its entertainment, clothing, music, food, etc. What this means for education: our students expect to "have it their way" - we need to offer learning experiences that are flexible, personizable, modular, and more. The era of one-size-fits-all is over. The keywords are prosumer and customization.
