What is the SHIFT
anyway?

What is school for?

True or False?

Two Narratives
Industrial Era Post Industrial Era

Michael Boll | Michael Lambert | www.MichaelBoll.me Industrial Era 1840’s -1990’s

Schools were on board!

Universal schooling was a newer idea

Industrialists
had all the
power

Michael Boll | Michael Lambert | www.MichaelBoll.me Pushback: Union and cooperative bargaining

Grand
bargain
is
struck

Grand Bargain
If you work hard, follow the rules
and pay attention, you get
!
•Job
•Lifetime employment
•Medical care of some sort
•Retirement
•Career ladder
•Stable government
•Protection from crime and fire

Grand Bargain Debate

COMFORTABLE!

Downsides Of Industrialization
• Exploited workers
• Child labor
• Weapons of war that
allowed for mass
annihilation of
soldiers
• Environmental
degradation
• WORST PART

Power in Scale
This Scale Not This Scale
To make it worthwhile you have to do it in
very large numbers or it is not worth it.

Sample Industries That
Used Scale
• Autos
• Trucks
• Oil
• Publishing
• Movies
• Farming (ADM)
• Weapons industry
• TV and Radio
• Music
• What else? Help
me? (socrative
time?)
Which ones no
longer need
scale?

Post
Industrial

Who wins
who loses?
Two Views

Some Companies Still
Provide a Lifetime Career

The Grand
Bargain Is Over!
No Choice Though

Scale is less difficult

Scale still an issue for
some industries.
• Oil
• Some manufacturing
• Car, airplanes, aircraft carriers
!
• Others?

The long tail is here
What interests
are on this tail?

What are your interests?

Barriers to entry lowered

You can print lots of stuff!

Good
or bad?
Power shifted to the individual not the
industrialist

Everybody can be a designer now!

Not as great if you are a low skilled
worker

New Narrative
• Schools are designed to fulfill the
needs of the industrial era.
• Today we can (and must?) customize
education. Let’s be more flexible.

Why? What Changed?
Communication Revolution

Michael Boll and Michael Lambert | www.MichaelBoll.me THE COMMUNICATION REVOLUTION

So what? How did communication
revolution change things?
• Now I can reach out to large massive
numbers of humans to find people
with similar interests.
• I can differentiate like crazy
• Money is easy to move
• Some governments don’t like this.

Topic Democracy: Your diversity may
or may not be my diversity

Communication
revolution starts young!

Shift
happened
What Now? What Should I do?

Problem: We don’t know what we don’t know
“The message is that there are no "knowns." There
are things we know that we know. There are
known unknowns. That is to say there are things
that we now know we don't know. But there are
also unknown unknowns. There are things we do
not know we don't know. So when we do the best
we can and we pull all this information together, and
we then say well that's basically what we see as the
situation, that is really only the known knowns and
the known unknowns. And each year, we discover a
few more of those unknown unknowns.”-- !
Donald Rumsfeld, Former US Secretary of Defense

Choices

Stay on or ahead of the curve

Resist

False choices?

option
