"First solve the problem, then write the code"-John Johnson

During U learn 2016 I had the great opportunity to head key note speaker John Couch.
John Couch:  “New dimensions in learning”

Rewiring education.
John Couch is the Vice President of Education at Apple, Inc. I have included a link about with more information about the key note speaker. 
Below I have included the notes of the important aspects of his talk. 

Leadership model:
  • Vision-Mental Bicycle
  • Mission-One computer: one person
  • Directions-Strategic (consumer, education)
  • Steps-Tactical (creative)
  • People-Companions, not competitors.
  • Guidelines: Think different.
  • Impact of technology on learning: apples classroom of tomorrow (book)
If the student is engaged=learning will happen/they will learn.
I feel this is very true. If the students are engaged in the classroom then learning will happen.
  • "Education is what people do to you. Learning is way you do for yourself"
  • Education=process of receiving.
  • Learning=acquisition of knowledge.

Vision is inspirational
Mission-Inspirational.


  • Creating a learning environment around Technology.
  • Used to do something in the classroom that you would not be able to do in the classroom.
  • Engaging a new generation.
  • "...All books, learning materials and assessment should be digital and interactive, tailored to act student and providing feedback in real time-Steve Jobs
Classroom of Today Tomorrow Schools.
  • Relevant
  • Creative
  • Collaborative
  • Challenging.

Rewiring Education:
    • Accessing Quality Content.
    • Community and Collaboration (Face book, you tube, twitter, instagram)
    • Collaboration and personal Learning: Zone of personal development=greater the students knowledge becomes.
    • Collaborative Classroom-Teachers, students, community.
  • challenge based learning: created at apple.
Looking ahead: 
Access
Build
Code

Everyone should have the opportunity to create something. 

CODING RUNS THE WORLD
