Is there a shift in learning?

There has been much talk about Teaching and Learning in recent months in my establishment. It seems to be the buzz phrase and departmental meetings and staff INSEDs are all focused on this. I had a look around for some thoughts on the subject and found this quite interesting. There is a talk in a shift in learning and the following seven areas seem to be where the Shift is talking place (or they are stimulating the Shift). These include:

1. Digital & Research Literacy
2. A move from Standards to Habit
3. Game-based Learning
4. Connectivity
5. Transparency
6. Place-Based Education
7. Self-Directed Learning & Play
