“Late in the 1800s, during the IndustrialRevolution, business leaders began complainingabout all these rural kids who were pouringinto the cities and going to work in ourfactories. Business leaders said that these kidswere no good, and that what they needed wasan educational system that would produce"industrial discipline.” (paraphrase: show up,be on time, follow rules), Alvin Toffler

“How does that system fit into a worldwhere assembly lines have gone away?It doesnt. The public school system isdesigned to produce a workforce for aneconomy that will not be there. Andtherefore, with all the best intentions inthe world, were stealing the kidsfuture.”, Alvin Toffler

Before the technology/constructivist shift in my classroom,… We’d read books, answer questions, and then address those questions in class. I’d lecture a lot, with supplemental grammar lessons here and there,… extremely teacher centered… I’d hope they learned something about writing and thinking.

Instead, of saying, “hand in your assignments,” I say, “publish your assignments and send me the link.” They think about connecting and sharing their learning in the larger world.Shelley Wright is a teacher/education blogger living inMoose Jaw, Saskatchewan http://mindshift.kqed.org/2011/12/life-in-a-21st-century-english-class/

In 2006, a survey found that 63% of Americans ages18 to 24 could not find Iraq on a map of the MiddleEast. A professor described the problem as“geographic illiteracy.”

In 2006, a survey found that 63% of Americans ages18 to 24 could not find Iraq on a map of the MiddleEast. A professor described the problem as“geographic illiteracy.” Two years later, we sat students down in front of a computer and said, “Find Iraq.” One hundred percent of the students were able to do so—and more. They asked, “Street view or aerial?” “Do you want to focus on any particular region or the whole country?” “Should I turn the satellite imaging on or do you want it in map form?” Clearly those students were able to complete the task with remarkable sophistication and detail. They were able to use the maps’ interface to explore the richness of the technology to shape and reshape meaning. <https://kindle.amazon.com/work/new-culture-learning-cultivating-ebook/B004S72WOS/B004RZH0BG>
