The problem is not change…we’ve always had change. The problem is the speed of change, and that change is cultural now. Because of that it feels like our kids are leading the way with technology

The question is, is education changing?

Challenging Times for Educators:

• Our students are leading us.
  • Participating more
  • Creating more
  • Connecting more (55% of kids use social networking sites, 57% have created content online.)
• We are entering a time of deeply personalized, passion based learning.
• The amount of information is overwhelming.
• Pace of change is lightspeed
  • Jeff Han
• More and more, the expectation is to create, not consume, yet we’re not creators.
• Differing levels of access
• Standardized tests still emphasize content
• Legal liabilities are unclear.
• Our own time is limited.
