      It seems to me, from articles that I have read recently, that these ideas have been circulating within educational domains for a number of years. And yet, not a lot seems to have changed. Are there larger forces at work here, keeping our teaching and learning practices static rather dynamic?
  • This is a story about the big public conversation the nation is not having about education, the one that will ultimately determine not merely whether some fraction of our children get "left behind" but also whether an entire generation of kids will fail to make the grade in the global economy because they can't think their way through abstract problems, work in teams, distinguish good information from bad or speak a language other than English.
  • we need to bring what we teach and how we teach into the 21st century.

  • Knowing more about the world
  • Thinking outside the box
  • Becoming smarter about new sources of information
  • Developing good people skills
  • Global Student
  • All students take some classes in either Japanese or Spanish. Other subjects are taught in English, but the content has an international flavor
  • Exposure to world cultures
  • Depth over breadth and the ability to leap across disciplines
  • video-conferencing with sister schools in Japan, Africa and Mexico
  • international mindedness
  • Real Knowledge in the Google Era
  • Any number of old-school assignments--memorizing the battles of the Civil War or the periodic table of the elements--now seem faintly absurd. That kind of information, which is poorly retained unless you routinely use it, is available at a keystroke .

      Needed: real, deep knowledge that is able to question and challenge; critical thinking and the ability to make "connections between ideas" (Wallis 2006).

  • "portable skills"--critical thinking, making connections between ideas and knowing how to keep on learning
  • which skills and disciplines. "No. 1 was technology,"

      Consider multi-literacies.
  • documentary
  • the elusive nature of truth
  • what we know and how we know it
  • "If truth is difficult to prove in history, does it follow that all versions are equally acceptable?"
  • information literacy

      See Prensky (2005) article.
  • assessments that are livelier and more current and multimedia-based than printed textbooks
  • bring their methods--along with the curriculum--into line with the way the modern world works
  • . That means putting a greater emphasis on teaching kids to collaborate and solve problems in small groups and apply what they've learned in the real world.

      Key point. How? Makes me think of 'SMS poems' idea...
  • At suburban Farmington High in Michigan, the engineering-technology department functions like an engineering firm, with teachers as project managers, a Ford Motor Co. engineer as a consultant and students working in teams.

      Interesting! Could this work for a high school English department?
