A primer for future teaching
Posted on: June 5, 2012
This might be a thought-provoking (or even jarring) video for anyone who only has a traditional notion of teaching.
The creators of this video called it Future Learning. It seems an apt title if you consider suggestions by the players in the video that seem to point at technology-enabled, teacher-less learning.
But I think this video is really a primer for the future of teaching given the rapid changes that we are already experiencing today.
I could probably watch the video every day this week and take away something different from it each time.
Today, it is Sugata Mitra explaining how schooling becomes irrelevant over time [1 min 9sec mark] and what his suggestions for a future-proof curriculum are [9min 54sec mark]:
- reading comprehension
- information literacy (search and retrieval)
- digital wisdom (knowing how/what to believe)
