across in a lifetime in the 18th
century.
It’s estimated that 1.5 exabytes
(that’s 1.5 x 1018) of unique new
information will be generated
worldwide this year.
That’s estimated to be more than
in the previous 5,000 years.
The amount of new technical
information is doubling every 2
years.
That means for a student
starting a four-year technical or
college degree . . .
Half of what they learn in their
first year of study will be
outdated by their third year of
study.
It’s predicted to double every
72 hours by 2010.
Third generation fiber optics has

“Young People Urgently Need
New Skills to Succeed in the
Global Economy”

Headline in the news Nov. 6. 2006
Technology has become an
indispensable tool in the
education of today’s students.
( Netday survey, 2005)
Today’s students may not be
well suited to the more linear
progression of learning that
most educators employ.
( Mark Prensky)
Students think differently than
us..they develop hypertext
minds…they leap
around..their cognative
structures are parallel not
sequential.
( Mark Prenskey )
Alan November….
“We need to emphasized the
necessity of students learning
with others around the world and
stress that 3 skills are needed to
teach our children.”
1. “We need to teach our
students to deal with massive
amounts of information.”
2. “We need to teach our
students global communication,
starting with Kindergarten.”
3. “We need to teach our
students to be self-directed and
understand how to organize
more and more of their own
learning.”
“We can’t avoid learning
these tools. We can’t walk
away from this”
-Alan November
But… I have a question…
Do our students know how to
deal with the massive amounts of
information?
Have we changed our teaching
methods to reflect new
technology?
Do our students know how to
communicate globally?
Do our students understand how
to be self-directed and how to
organize their own learning?
“The fact is, our young people
are woefully under prepared
for the demands of today’s
workplace,”
said Ken Kay, President of the Partnership for
21st Century Skills
“We can’t solve problems by
using the same kind of thinking
we used when we created
them.”
- Albert Einstein
What does it all mean?

The people who will collaborate,
create large storehouses of
information, learn about ourselves and
our world, change our relationship to
technology, and re-write the
paradigms of how things work will take
years to process. The people who will
understand this best are probable just
being born.

There is much reason to

in schools will better prepare
students for a slew of new
illiteracies and competencies
in their post-education lives.
(Will Richardson, 2006)
The past 25 years in technology

we are now entering is the MAIN

technology will truly transform
every aspect of business,
