Our kids’ futures will require them to be:
Networked–They’ll need an “outboard brain.”
More collaborative–They are going to need to work closely with people to
co-create information.
More globally aware–Those collaborators may be anywhere in the
world.
Less dependent on paper–Right now, we are still paper training our
kids.
More active–In just about every sense of the word. Physically. Socially.
Politically.
Fluent in creating and consuming hypertext–Basic reading and writing
skills will not suffice.
More connected–To their communities, to their environments, to the
world.
Editors of information–Something we should have been teaching them all
along but is even more important now.
