future-proof your students
These are exciting timesto be an educator.
Not all classrooms are created equal.
The Internet is now the world’s biggest classroom.
(And it’s always open for business.)
It used to be that a book was something you’d read...
...now it’s also something that you listen to and connect from.
How far away is information today?

...[I]t won’t be one screen that replaces your newspaper or your TV show.
“Content will eventually automatically follow you from screen to screen, and place to place.
”It will be all of them.
- Nick Bilton
This is not the future.
We’re talking about the present.
There’s no telling what the future has in store.
We are currently preparing
students for jobs that don't yet
exist, using technologies that
haven't been invented yet, in order
to solve problems we don't even
know are problems yet.
- Karl Fisch

Teachers still have a valuable role to play in
preparing students for their
hyperconnected futures.
By engaging them with the tools available today.
Tell me and I will forget.
Show me and I may remember.
Involve me and I will understand.- Chinese Proverb

Here’s something four-year-olds know: a screen without a mouse is missing something. Here’s something else they know: media that’s targeted at you but doesn’t include you may not be worth sitting still for.
