Ian Jukes made some provocative statements today. Here is a short list of my favorites.
Many of this year's presenters have pounded home the idea that we are in an era of unbelievable change and the changes are only going to get faster and faster.
If educators don't try to catch up with the students technologically and learn to harness the tools they use daily - we are going to lose more and more students.
Gives you something to think about.
- Speaking about the great digital divide between generations he said, "Schools are doing a great job of preparing students for the year 1960!"
- Speaking about teachers and their teaching styles he said, "When the going gets tough the tough get traditional."
- "Digital kids think differently."
- "Today's students are not disabled, they are other abled."
- "Today's students will have 10 - 17 careers (not jobs - careers) ............by the time they are 35."
