I think Langwitches sums up the current situation and challenge quite nicely in the blogpost linked below.
I was talking to a colleague yesterday about the optimal suite of tools needed to create a digitally normal school. The conversation turned to how a 'digital inspector' would know he or she was actually in a digitally normal school. What would such an inspector look for?
We decided that the judgment would come down to an assessment of the authentic learnflow:
In every class and every home and everywhere else the students learn, are all the teachers, students and parents empowered and engaged in the necessary, natural and sub-conscious business of learnflow?
I suspect and hope that someone, somewhere has begun writing the inspection framework for this...
The GEMS Education Digital Standards are being launched in all the network's schools this year and I think they represent a good start down this road.
