Resources+for+CLKeynote

Abstract:
We live in an age of “shift” when everything seems to be changing at an ever-increasing pace and emerging technologies are rapidly transforming how we work, learn, socialize, and play. We hold powerful computers in our hands and have access to more information than ever before while we face a future filled with many significant challenges and exciting possibilities. With a present and future in flux, we are tasked with preparing our students with a set of knowledge and skills that will empower them to successfully navigate a complex future. Our traditional model of education and our traditional approaches to technology integration are insufficient for succeeding in this task. We must create transformative learning experiences – for our students and for ourselves – in order to develop the ability to think flexibly, creatively, critically, and collaboratively. In this presentation we will explore why this is necessary as we discuss some of the emerging technologies on the near horizon, the probable challenges we face locally and globally, and the skills that will be essential for preparing our future citizens, innovators, and leaders in order to create the best possible future for all of us.
