“There’s no competitive advantage
today in knowing more than the
person next to you. The world doesn’t
care what you know. What the world
cares about is what you can do with
what you know.”, Tony Wagner – Why School? (Kindle 468)

validate, and put things in context will be
among the toughest tasks for educators.”
Macrowikinomics (kindle 4390)
“the true test of rigor is for students to be able
to look at material they’ve never seen before
and know what to do with it.” 21st Century Skills (kindle 241)
