Crowdfunding vs Crowdsourcing

Crowdfunding - to get money

9 tips for schools

Provini (2014) provides the following ideas for how you might raise money for schools with crowdfunding:

2. Identify a safe, flexible and transparent platform
3. Start with reasonable goals

Pledgeme a one pager canvas tool to use.

You need to grab your pledges and get their buy in

Explain idea, short, hook, etc.

Crowdsourcing

Citizen Science

Engaging in citizen science allows people to experience, first-hand, the scientific process and engage scientific thinking at the same time as increasing their knowledge of the specific research topic. Citizen scientists are members of the general public that volunteer their time to work and collaborate with professional scientists to collect data and solve problems on real scientific research questions. (Masters et al., 2016).

Purpose - everyone contributes

Ed value - different perspective, inclusive

Useful/interesting - real world examples

Week 9

Digital

"Looking for Peter"
Think bigger and outside the square
A group helped to bounce ideas off and it made it easier.
Learned needed verbal communication, different skills, different perspectives, we don't always need a leader, common goal the thing that leads you.  What is the outcome is impt in terms of if you leader.

Leanrer in the digital age are able to connect and collaborate with others outside of their group.

Connect - collaborate - generate
PLN - Personal Learning Network  Who you interact with
Personal - you choose
Network - connected to others which brings in more
Learning - you are able to further understand and learn

PLE - Personal Learning Environment - How ou interact with them - the tool sets you connect through eg facebook, moodle, staffroom etc

WHy have one - part of becoming an insructional leader, stretch your thinking, offer encouraging words, share resources etc.

PLN/PLE Infographics - Pictochart, Canver
Have a play.....

Dr George Seimens - Connectiveism
Different relationship through blogging
Biggest difference - awareness and interaction
Knowledge is a network product
3 levels - biological, conceptual, external social spaces

Do we need this learning theory?

• Interesting ideas 
• Differing ideas
• Half life - knowledge used to stand for a long period of time, now it can, and does change frequently.  It happends much faster now
• Exponential growth 
• MOOCs.  Connect with others, not necessarily for the contect but the capacity for learning

Why fill in a form?


MOOCs - Stephen Downs
Connection more impt than content
Social and neural networks operate on similar concept
Move away from centralised system
Learning management system is personnalised
Read with others rather than going away and doing it on your own

Percpetions of the readers means different meanings can be taken

Interaction with others - personalised interaction needs to be negoiated.  Not prsonalised content but personalised interaction.

People have own autonomy.  Building capacity of people online.

Shift to co-operative rather than collaborative in the future.
Communicate while remaining independent and autonomous.
Independancy rather than interdependantcy

Number and nature of connections - relate to adpoption of innovations
Blurring the line bwtween leadership and followership
Evidence is open to bias.

Leadership
If you have a vision you are more likely to succeed.
- you reduce the error rate
- on the same pathway

HATTIE asks if the word learning is in visions

Vessel to fill or fire to light!!  Learning.....

Collaborative Leadership - DeWitt

• Instructional leadership (0.42) - a focus on learning
• Collective teacher efficacy (1.57) - collaborative leaders foster collaborative expertise
• Assessment-capable learning (1.44) - collaborative leaders meet students where they are and bring them to a new level
• Professional Development (0.51) - foster and inspire professional learning and use their venues/meetings to do it
• Feedback (0.75) - collaborative leaders foster growth in stakeholders and themselves - feedback helps them get there
• Family engagement (0.49) - giving a voice in the process

Anything above 4 has an effect
4 types of leaders:
Growth Cycle

Leads to idea of change.  Move to Kotter

Management makes a system work, leadership builds systems or transforms old ones

8 steps - Kotter
1996 - linear process, if you miss a step it won't work

1. Create a sense of urgency (identify crises and opportunities)
2. Build a guiding coalition
3. Form a strategic vision and initiatives
4. Enlist a volunteer army
5. Enable action by removing barriers
6. Generate short term wins
7. Sustain acceleration
8. Institute change

1-3  creating a climate for change (getting the conditions right)

4-6 Enable and engage

7-8 Implement and sustain change

move to being more agile and iterative

Adaptive and constantly going into things in a cyclic way

The change in thinking...

Entitlement - Y1-10 entitled as a student to learn about DGT, optional Y11-13

Week 8 post

Design thinking mindset

These 7 Mindsets explore and uncover the philosophy behind IDEO's (2017) Design Kit’s approach to creative problem solving (there are a number of videos on this site to explain each of these):

• Embrace ambiguity - Whose ambiguity - everyones.
• Optimism
• Iterate, iterate, iterate
• Learn from Failure
• Make it
• Creative Confidence
• Empathy

Design thinking TML Kite Model - using IDEO's appraoch

Empathise - main ob

Reflect

"Main objective is to make the person cry" - get to the root of the issue

Empathysing
Ask questions to find out
Dig deeper by 5 the whys, by the time you get to thelast one you tend to have all the info

Defining
Observations about the needs

Ideating
What are some solutions

Prototype
Make a solution

Testing
Test the prototype

Reflect
What does the customer think

Some intersting prototypes.  Many based around TIME!!



Leadership
Stakeholders:
students, families, community members, practitioners, policy-makers, society at large

Y13 students to obtain 4 credits immediately
Families as they want to know their sons are going to be successful this year
Follows on to Board of Trustees as school goal is for each student to have credits in each subject by the end of T1.

Diffusion of innovations - the adoption curve



Market to each group differently
Innovators - small.  First to learn and adopt.  Risk takers and adventureors.  Introduce to everyone else as they share their exerience.

Early
Smaller - highly thought of.  Indorsement plays role in transcending the gap
How to work with:

• Offer strong face-to-face support for a limited number of early adopters to trial the new idea.
• Study the trials carefully to discover how to make the idea more convenient, low cost and marketable.
• Reward their egos e.g. with media coverage.
• Promote them as fashion leaders (beginning with the cultish end of the media market).
• Recruit and train some as peer educators.
• Maintain relationships with regular feedback.

Majority - 2/3
Early - observe others and only adopt if proven.  Simple, easy fix.  Minimla disruption and commitment.
Late Resistant to change but responsive to peer pressure.  Tested and proven well before using

Laggards
Highly resistant to change and hard to reach.  Wait until innovtation is mainstream before adopting at all.  Can become an innovator with trying a different way.


Within the different stakeholder groups we can have these levels of innovation.

Leader doesn't become so until there is a follower
Best way to create a movement, have the courage to be a follower.
