Learning to Change, Changing to Learn

I watched the video, "Learning to Change, Changing to Learn," from Project Tomorrow, that was listed in the resources for our class. Again, I was a bit discouraged by what I heard. One expert after the next agreed that our present-day classroom setting is becoming less and less relevant to the true educational needs of our young people.

But one person gave me a spark of hope. Ken Kay, President, Partnership for 21st Century Skills, e-Luminate Group, said that around the world people are testing out the ingredients to determine how to develop a new model for education. He said that stunning things are taking place already. I appreciated his positive attitude as he said "It's an exciting time for learning . . . It's the dawn of learning that makes me very happy."
