3. Their future?
• The top ten in-demand jobs in 2010 did not
exist in 2004
• We are preparing students for jobs that
don’t yet exist
• Using technologies that haven’t been
invented
• In order to solve problems we don’t even
know are problems yet.
2010 Derek Wenmoth

4. Their future?
• In a world that is increasingly
globalised
• Where interactions with other
cultures, other languages and other
ways of doing things will be the norm
• Where the ability to move smoothly
between and among these contexts
will differentiate those who are
successful.

28. New Literacies
“Don’t you think that our
students need to be literate in
terms of multimedia, images
and sound…
…or they’ll be as
disadvantaged as we would
have been if we’d left school
without being able to read and
write?”
2010 Derek Wenmoth

29. Some things will have to change…
Education in the Future: Education for the Future:
• What will our schools be like? What must we be doing today
• Where will learning occur? to ensure that our students are
equipped with the skills and
• What will be the role of knowledge required to function
teachers? in the world of tomorrow?
• What technology will be used?

35. 2020 & Beyond…
• To what extent are we prepared, as a society and
as educators, for the massive changes in human
capabilities that digital technologies are likely to
enable in the next 10 years?
• To what extent are our future visions for education
based upon assumptions about humanity, society
and technology that are no longer valid?
• To what extent can we, as educators, help to
shape the developments of technology in order to
enhance human development?
