By THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN, March 4, 2004 Globalization 3.0 Produced by three forces: •Massive installation of undersea fiber-optic cable and bandwidth (thanks to the dot-com bubble) that have made it possible to globally transmit and store huge amounts of data for almost nothing. •Second, the diffusion of PC's around the world. •Third, the convergence of a variety of software applications — from e-mail, to Google, to Microsoft Office, to specially designed outsourcing programs — that, when combined with all those PC's and bandwidth, made it possible to create global "work-flow platforms." 7 Designing the 21st Century Secondary Schools 19 1083 _Macros Your High School, 1964-- ???

A safe school with swipe cards for the school gate, anti-bully alarms, first aid classes, and someone to talk to about our problems. A listening school with children on the governing body, class representatives and the chance to vote for the teachers. A flexible school without rigid timetables or exams, without compulsory homework, without a one-size-fits-all curriculum, so we can follow our own interests and spend more time on what we enjoy. 13 Designing the 21st Century Secondary Schools 19 1083 _Macros The School that I’d Like, 2000 A relevant school where we learn through experience, experiments and exploration, with trips to historic sites and teachers who have practical experience of what they teach. A respectful school where we are not treated as empty vessels to be filled with information, where teachers treat us as individuals, where children and adults can talk freely to each other, and our opinion matters. A school without walls so we can go outside to learn, with animals to look after and wild gardens to explore. A school for everybody with boys and girls from all backgrounds and abilities, with no grading, so we don't compete against each other, but just do our best. 14 Designing the 21st Century Secondary Schools 19 1083 _Macros The School that I’d Like Safe Experience Respect Real Personal Workspace Interests Tools World 15 Designing the 21st Century Secondary Schools 19 1083 _Macros “If I Could Make a School” by student Pooja Agarwal, (Learning and Leading with Technology, November 2001), Student Technology Leadership Symposium, June 23-24, 2001, held in conjunction with NECC, by the International Society of Technology in Education (ISTE) U.S. student leaders want schools that : •Are Fun •End lecturing from a textbook •Institute problem-based, discovery-based, and inquiry-based curricula •Implement “real life” situations and hands-on learning •Shape the curriculum with student internship experiences •Build relationships and “animated mutual learning” between adults and students •Provide an “inviting” physical environment •Provide the technology tools for students and teachers to do their work. 16 Designing the 21st Century Secondary Schools 19 Design Criteria Kids Needs: •Safe •Respect •Personal •Interests 1083 _Macros •Experience •Real World •Workspace •Tools •Personalization •Common Learning Goals Design Principles •Adult World Immersion •Performance-Based Student Work & Assessment Program, Facility, Transitions, Exhibitions, Advisories, Technology, Projects, Portfolios, Internships, Size and Teams Design Elements 17 Designing the 21st Century Secondary Schools 19 1083 _Macros What region or regions will be best poised to grow during the next recovery? 18 Designing the 21st Century Secondary Schools 19 1083 _Macros Internet Cluster Regions – U.S. Seattle — “Silicon Forest” Chicago “Silicon City” New York — “Silicon Alley” San Francisco “Multimedia Gulch” Washington, D.C. “Silicon Dominion” Silicon Valley Research Triangle “Silicon Triangle” Los Angeles “Digital Coast” Austin — “Silicon Hills” Boston “Route 128” Atlanta “Capital of the New South” Miami “Silicon Beach” 19 Designing the 21st Century Secondary Schools 19 1083 _Macros Global Internet Cluster Regions Canada “Silicon Valley North” United Kingdom “Silicon Kingdom” Scandinavia “Wireless Valley” Japan “Bit Valley” Germany “Silicon Saxony” China/Hong Kong “Cyber Port” France “Telecom Valley” Israel “Silicon wadi” India Singapore “Intelligent Island” United States 20 Designing the 21st Century Secondary Schools 19 1083 _Macros Silicon Valley, 2000 40% of workforce in 7 high-tech clusters 21 Designing the 21st Century Secondary Schools 19 1083 _Macros Silicon Valley, 1970 VALLEY OF HEART’S DELIGHT 22 Designing the 21st Century Secondary Schools 19 1083 _Macros Source: Internet Cluster Analysis, 1999, A.T.
