"Traditional instruction places far too much emphasis on content. The problem isn't just that what students need to know can't be known. The unreasonable amount of information dumped on them, the brief life in memory of most of it, and easy electronic access to a near-infinite amount of it, make merely delivering information a poor use of time. Focusing on the real world rather than on second-hand textbook versions of reality, and understanding the process by means of which sense is made of that world, are keys to new worlds of performance."

"The test of life is not whether we can remember what we learn in school, but whether we are prepared for change," says Schleicher. "Whether we are prepared for jobs that haven't been created and to use technology that haven't been invented to solve problems we just can't anticipate today."

Some interesting ideas here. But I would contend with, first, with the lack of non-technology 'innovative ways' to approach 21 century learning, and, second, his 'ranking' of what is 'obsolete'. thoughts?

Just saw this Doug. I agree that innovative movements in education certainly don't need to involve technology. When I read this article I see much more than technology tool as offerings 21st century learning. I see major themes including collaboration, information access, personalization of the learning process, student choice, and better opportunities for students to be active learners. It's true you can't read too many paragraphs in this article that don't involve words like "blog" and "device." Yet, if these tools have become such a useful part of the lives of the 21st century student, why shouldn't we as teachers advocate for their use in our curriculum re-designs and innovative approaches to 21 century learning in schools?
