  • ony Wagner that the world doesn’t care anymore what you know; all it cares “is what you can do with what you know.”
  • And they increasingly don’t care how those skills were acquired: home schooling, an online university, a massive open online course, or Yale. They just want to know one thing: Can you add value?

  • A degree document is no longer a proxy for the competency employers need.” Too many of the “skills you need in the workplace today are not being taught by colleges.”
  • Added Sharef: “What surprises me most about people’s skills is how poor their writing and grammar are, even for college graduates.
  • ireArt sees many talented people who are just “confused about what jobs they are qualified for, what jobs are out there and where they fit in.”
  • We gave her a very rigorous test, and she outscored people who had gone to Stanford and Harvard. She ended up as a top applicant for a job that, on paper, she was completely unqualified for.”

      Excel, really? Couldn't they have come up with a better example than this?
  • he most successful job candidates, she added, are “inventors and solution-finders,” who are relentlessly “entrepreneurial” because they understand that many employers today don’t care about your résumé, degree or how you got your knowledge, but only what you can do and what you can continuously reinvent yourself to do.

  • Experts figure that kids today read and write even more than previous generations. And they do so in a broader and more complex environment — though not always in academic ways.
  • Roberts wields every tool available to lift students toward "new literacies," the confluence of language and technology that's evolving as fast as researchers can study it.
  • as 21st-century literacies blend with traditional skills.

  • "I'm not going to say it's a good thing or a bad thing," says Elizabeth Kleinfeld, assistant professor of English at Metropolitan State College of Denver. "But it's a thing for sure, and we have to deal with it in our classrooms, in our workplaces and in our relationships."
  • Her research indicates that students have a troubling tendency not to read deeply, though she's quick to add that there's no evidence that previous generations fared any better.
  • Mastering the technical aspects of multimedia tools is essential.
  • Perhaps most important, the breadth of information that flows from Internet search engines requires that students cultivate a discerning eye.
  • "I think there should be very much a conscious, strategic moving back and forth between rapid locating (of information) and deep reading."
  • "The Internet offers incredible opportunities to build high-level, deep thinkers if we provide the instruction that's needed."
  • New literacies aren't about displacing mainstream standards
  • "If you choose to see (new literacies) as dumbing down, you're going to see lots of evidence of that," Knobel says. "But if you choose to see it as something new and opening up all sorts of opportunities for young people to really think about media, how truth itself is often up for grabs, then there are all sorts of ways of understanding it."
