But there’s little question that the gap between school learning and life learning has become wider and more acute as the Web and mobile technologies continue to evolve as learning opportunities.
-
Current testing regimes are inadequate in measuring a student’s ability to find and solve problems, think critically and creatively, deal well with failure, persevere, collaborate with others, etc, skills that are arguably more important than content knowledge.

So what do educators, parents, policy makers and others need to fully understand about this moment in order to truly think in transformative ways about education?

I think parents are sensing the fact that many kids simply aren’t being prepared for their lives in the current system.
-
the stories of kids who are heading down traditional pathways only to wait longer for jobs that don’t require the amount of education they’ve paid for and are heading back to school to accrue more debt.
-
It’s not that a bachelor’s degree no longer suffices; more it’s that many kids don’t seem to have the dispositions, the self-determination, initiative, and networks to problem solve their way out of their dilemmas. They’re waiting for the answer, just like they did in school.
-
transformation can only be fueled by a deep understanding of how significantly out of step the school experience has become with the real world. If we’re honest, we know we’ve always been lacking in that regard. But there’s little question that the gap between school learning and life learning has become wider and more acute as the Web and mobile technologies continue to evolve as learning opportunities
-
Teachers no longer stand between the content and the student. This will change the nature of the profession
-
Technology is no longer an option when it comes to learning at mastery levels
-
instead of being delivered by an institution, curriculum is now constructed and negotiated in real time by learner and the contributions of those engaged in the learning process, whether in the classroom our out

We’ve come to the end of “The End.” Everything we produce remains a work in progress, in “perpetual beta.”

What’s happened to get people thinking and talking about “different” instead of “better?”
-
The Web and the technologies that drive it are fundamentally changing the way we think about how we can learn and become educated in a globally networked and connected world. It has absolutely exploded our ability to learn on our own in ways that schools weren’t built for.
-
In that respect, current systems of schooling are an increasingly significant barrier to progress when it comes to learning.
-
The middleman is vanishing as peer to peer interactions flourish. Teachers no longer stand between the content and the student. This will change the nature of the profession.
-
Technology is no longer an option when it comes to learning at mastery levels.
-
Curriculum is just a guess, and now that we have access to so much information and knowledge, the current school curriculum bucket represents (as Seymour Papert suggests) “one-billionth of one percent” of all there is to know. Our odds of choosing the “right” mix for all of our kids’ futures are infinitesimal.
-
In fact, instead of being delivered by an institution, curriculum is now constructed and negotiated in real time by learner and the contributions of those engaged in the learning process, whether in the classroom our out.
-
The skills, literacies, and dispositions required to navigate this increasingly complex and change filled world are much different from those stressed in the current school curriculum.
-
“High stakes” learning is now about doing real work for real audiences, not taking a standardized subject matter test.
-
While important, the 4Cs of creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, and communication are no longer enough. Being able to connect to other learners worldwide and to use computing applications to solve problems are the two additional “Cs” required in the modern world.
-
Our children will live and work in a much more transparent world as tools to publish pictures, video, and texts become more accessible and more ubiquitous. Their online reputations must be built and managed.
-
Workers in the future will not “find employment;” Employment will find them. Or they will create their own.
-
Embracing and adapting to change must be in the modern skill set.

Well, for one thing, I think parents are sensing the fact that many kids simply aren’t being prepared for their lives in the current system.
