HUB Ramat Gan as a New Concept for Smart City in Education


A team of educational experts from The Center for Professional Educators Training creates and leads a new global concept that is going to change the landscape of education in the city of Ramat Gan. It collaborates with the head of Education dept. in Ramat Gan.
From Vision to Reality: The team has founded a way of turning the vision into reality. The team's members wanted to create a new culture in the landscape of education in Ramat Gan. The culture should support a habit of innovation. They have searched for the best tools to provide it, and have adopted methodologies from the High Tech industry, which served as a global tool. HUB is a common connection point for devices  in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segment of a LAN. Hub serves as a central connection for all the network equipment and handles a data type known as frames.
The main issue is how to create an Educational HUB and turn it into a way of habitual Vision.
The Educational HUB is made of:
·      A Learning Community
·      Online Learning
·      Routine of Innovation
A Learning Community
A group of educational colleagues, learning and sharing knowledge together, constructing models and shared language to create professional relevance. The Learning Community is a platform for building the Hub. The group serves as a professional and mental support group.
Online Learning
Learning and experiencing new and innovative models while using advanced technologies. Online learning is an instructional practice that effectively uses technology to strengthen a learner’s learning experience. It is based on an online technology that is in constant progress, it emphasizes high-quality instruction and provides access to challenging content, opportunities for learning anytime and anywhere, and individualized instruction to ensure all learners reach their full potential to succeed.
Routine of Innovation
Culture that repeatedly forms integration of educational innovation processes between institutions in the city- multidisciplinary and of all ages. Each Educational institute starts a process of innovation in the system in order to create an ongoing process.
One of the tools to build the Educational HUB and turn it into a way of habitual Vision is a Dashboard that serves as a control panel.
The dashboards have a major part in the hub. Advanced technology will be used in order to monitor and manage the process. Combining CRM with Project Management System (PMS) will create an online picture of educational landscape in the city.
The processes that will occur in the Hub:
The hub is made of people and they will be trained by using 4 methodologies:
·      First one was inspired by the singularity university
·      Second one is the most advanced tool- the design thinking methodology
·      The Third one was created by Kotter- the best way to lead a change in an organization
·      The outcome is the 4th- The new culture of innovation
As a result of developing teacher’s leadership, the change will echo in each classroom:
The teachers teach the same way they have been taught. Therefore it will be modeling in the training process.
The Global Innovation:
The Dashboard serves as an interactive control panel that accents the statues of innovation routines in the city. 
The dashboard it will allow to manage and lead all the educational innovation processes in the city.
The HUB will function as a cockpit while providing the mayor of Ramat Gan and the decision makers, data to set their priorities and make integration between all the educational processes in the city.
Ramat Gan will be the First Smart City in Education
