  • education is falling behind the curve,1 as it did during the rapid changes brought on by the Industrial Revolution.
  • The last major changes to cur­riculum2 were effected in the late 1800s as a response to the sudden growth in societal and human capital needs
  • Having students develop deep knowledge is as essential as ever. But today, we must also make that knowledge relevant.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Tough choices must be made regarding what to pare back in order to allow for more appropriate areas of focus
  • we need to infuse “themes” — important lenses such as global literacy, environmental literacy, information literacy, digital literacy, systems thinking, and design thinking
  • Higher-order skills such as the “4 C’s” — creativity, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration4 — are essential for deeply learning knowledge as well as for demonstrating understanding through performance.
  • Character is about how we engage in the world.
  • Meta-learning is the awareness of one’s own learning and cognitive ability. Having such an awareness is the best hedge against continuous changes.
  • Historical inertia has been a large deciding factor when it comes to curriculum design, at the policy/process level.
  • we must keep two key questions before us at all times: Is education relevant enough for this century? Are we educating students to be versatile in a world that is increasingly challenged and challenging?

  • It is no longer enough that we educate only to the standards of the traditional literacies. If students are to survive, let alone thrive, in the 21st-century culture of technology-driven automation, abundance and access to global labour markets, then independent thinking and its corollary, creative thinking, hold the highest currency.

  • So how did I learn all of the technology I use in my instruction and in my online collaborations with teachers? I learned it on my own.
  • So, I started using the internet to learn how to do what I wanted to do – blog, make videos, make podcasts, publish student work, etc. Of course it wasn’t easy, but I wanted to learn it so I did. (That is key – my learning was self-directed.)
