20 th Century Learning & employment: a linear journey along a road built for you.
20 th Century Learners versus 21 st Century Learners
21 st Century Learning - No Frontiers. You are the first generation who can go anywhere, do anything; and determine your OWN futures.
The old barriers between ‘student’ and ‘teacher’ & between ‘creator’ and ‘consumer’ are breaking down. Learning is a shared experience and is a collaborative process.
This is your future. And it’s not just a metaphor to say ‘you can do what you want’. It reflects the fact that WE know nothing. No one knows anything. We have no idea what YOUR world will be like – but we do know that the ability to learn will be the one vital skill necessary, in order to deal with the challenges ahead of you.
As with Charles Handy’s vital ‘e’ factors associated with all successful Management Organisations and Schools in the 1990s, “excitement, enthusiasm, energy, excellence, effectiveness, exuberance”, the letter ‘i’ also has its indicative connotations beyond Handy’s ‘e’ factors and Apple’s iPod, iTunes, iBook and iPhone. The ‘i’ we propose, challenges us to perceive 21 st -century learning beyond the regurgitation of facts, beyond the technology itself as merely a tool for learning and explore at the innovative, integrative, inclusive and inspiring possibilities within today’s technology-enhanced learning environments.

See this video; and note that it’s the students providing the ‘lesson’ - and to do so they use a medium which is relevant, and is accessible at any time, in any place, and on virtually any device [show same video streaming live on my smart phone] http://youtube.com/watch?v=dGCJ46vyR9o
