This document discusses the changing nature of technology and its impact on education. It argues that digital skills like creativity, problem solving, and collaboration are increasingly important for students. However, simply using technology in the classroom is not enough - schools must teach students how to think critically and produce new ideas and content. The future of work is uncertain, so educators must help students develop flexible skills and a lifelong ability to learn.

FROM CURIOUS TO CREATIVE: Technology and Today’s Gifted Students

A common characteristic of gifted students is a seemingly insatiable curiosity, and thanks to the power of the Internet,
the answer to almost any question is only a few clicks away. Today’s gifted students also have unprecedented access to
powerful tools designed for creative production and worldwide distribution. As educators how can we tap into gifted
students’ interests and purposefully guide them towards meaningful products? Together, we will explore viable options for
transforming you and your students from consumers of information to producers of new knowledge.
Gifted students today have access to more information than ever before and are connected in ways that no generation before has ever been. Yet they often do not understand the power they wield in digital environments or how to use information and networks to advance their learning. FutureCasting, a pedagogical roadmap, helps students develop a digital identity that enables them to leverage the power at their fingertips for achievement. The process enables students to take control of their digital identity and personal reputation, identify the value systems that influence choices, define personal and “professional” goals, and build influence in a global society.
Tech Tools to Support Literacy Teaching and Learning

This keynote delivered in Arkansas at the TNT conference is a motivational approach of looking at change and technology from a classroom teacher who is collaborating globally and using many leading (and older) technology tools.
FutureCasting, a framework of “life skills” enables young people to connect who they are today with the person they will be in the future. Within this framework, students answer the questions “Who am I?” and “Who do I want to be?” The answers to these questions empower students to take control of their digital identity and personal reputation, identify the value systems that influence choices, define personal and “professional” goals, and become aware of how the choices they make today effect future opportunities. This session introduces teachers to FutureCasting and provides activities for participants that can be implemented immediately. Join us as we begin the work of helping students become the master of their own developmental trajectory and the hero of their own story!
Superheroes and the gifted often possess virtues like compassion, altruism, and a sense of justice. Hope for the future relies not on superheroes miraculously saving the day but instead on empowering today’s gifted kids to conquer the problems of tomorrow. This session compares gifted youth to superheroes and examines the type of support necessary for their own hero’s journey.
