FUTURE: "Education Today and Tomorrow"
Here's a video that a couple of people have sent to me -- thanks! It's meant to be mind-expanding, and maybe a little frightening, even though it's already somewhat dated.
Whether in the case of 2 Million Minutes or this or STEM or Flat World stuff in general, my usual thought is that we shouldn't take our eyes off the basic prize: literacy and numeracy and some basic content knowledge for as many kids as possible.
Technology doesn't change that. Demographics don't change that. But maybe I'm missing something.
I agree with your "eyes on the prize" assessment. I would only add the skills of critical thinking. Those are the skills that are becoming more important for our ever-changing world.
Thanks.
