“What Our Kids Need to Succeed in the 21st Century Global Economy”

• What are 21st Century Learning Strategies?
• Technology in the Classroom – why and how?
• Flipped Classrooms – what’s that all about?
• Information and Web Literacy
• We live in a connected world with an overabundance of information!
• Kids need to know how to research, use, critically evaluate and communicate effectively using 21st century tools
• Skills our Kids Need -- from Empathy to Technology
• Students in a global society -- empathy, ethics and social responsibility
• Students owning their own learning

Alan November is an international leader in education technology. He began his career as an oceanography teacher and dorm counselor at an island reform school for boys in Boston Harbor.

While Alan was a computer science teacher in Lexington, MA, he was probably the first teacher in the world to have a student project on line in 1984, a database for the handicapped. He has been director of an alternative high school, computer coordinator, technology consultant and university lecturer. He has helped schools, governments and industry leaders improve the quality of education through technology.

Alan partnered with SBISD to develop our Spring Branch Plan 2012-2017. He and his team provide ongoing professional development and support of our educators as we aim to double the number of our students completing some form of higher education upon graduation (Spring Branch T-2-4).
