    So imagine this: A student arrives in school in the morning and answers five questions that will be calculated in a customized algorithm to figure out what she'll be doing that day. That algorithm will decide which teacher she'll work with, her level of learning based on what she learned the previous day, and her specific activities. The system completely subverts the traditional classroom model of one teacher for 25- 30 students per classroom. And each student learns in different modalities throughout the day: individually with computer software, with groups, with a virtual tutor, with a live tutor, and so on.

  • It is important now that learning becomes focused both on what students need to know, and what students are able to do with what they know.
  • That is why the 21st century skills movement won’t be short-lived. It is an economic and social imperative we all share now.
