There are three converging conditions that are changing our thinking about education… and even what it means to be educated. They are that we are
- Preparing a new generation of learners
- Within a new information environment
- For a future we can not clearly describe
Each of these conditions has profound implications in terms of what and how we teach our children, and we will be addressing each of them today, answering several questions:
- What do children need to learn today to be ready for an unpredictable future?
- What does it mean to be literate in todays prevailing information landscape?
- What are the pedagogies that inspire learning for this generation of students?
You can find the online handouts for this presentation here and here, and the transcript for the backchannel will be here.
It is a pleasure to be with you today, especially at the end of the school year. Some of what Ill be talking about today represents some skills (literacy skills) that you might wish to master during your weeks off from the classroom…
