This is a vision of a K-12 student:
- How technology will be more and more a part and parcel of 21st century children
- What sort of education they will need?
- What should be done to teach them to think, analyze and apply?
- What should be done to engage future students?
- How different tools of technology will assist their learning?
- What sort of jobs they will need to be prepared for?
- Why most teachers don’t follow the trend?
I am a 21st century learner
I game 3 1/2 hours a week
I will spend 16,5 hours watching tv this week
5,5 hours on the computer
2 hours reading a book
I listened to 5 hours of harry potter on my ipod this week
We expect to be able to create

And share information with each other
My parents use email
I text instant messages
I blog
76% of my teachers have never used
Wikis
Blogs
Podcasts
At least 14% of my teachers let me create something new with technology
63% never do
61% of my reading teachers never use
Digital storytelling software
Ill learn by doing
What are we learning sitting here?
How do you learn?
What kind of education would you want me to have?
If i were your son, your daughter?
By the year 2016, the largest English speaking country will be China
There are more honor students in China
Than there are people in the USA
But only 1/2 of us will graduate from high school
Will I?
I will have 14 jobs before I am 38 years old
Most of those jobs do not exist today
How will this help me?
How could this help me?
Or this?
Help me to think
To create
To analyze
To evaluate
Teach me to think
Let me use the www

Wherever
Let me tell a story
