People are starting to aknoledge the fact that we are educating and training people for jobs that don’t exist. How can we be sure that we are teaching the “right” things?
I firmly believe that schools help build the core competencies that enable people to be successful later in life. This is the question: What are the tools that are going to enable people to be successful tomorrow? What about a year from now? Are schools going to help students learn to use the tools that they will need to be successful?
To think that a 2 year-old has already developed the basic skills to manipulate this device is not surprising. Children and people learn from manipulating and building an understanding of how things “work”.
In Canada we do not even have the network capabilities for iPhones.
I would love to read your thoughts about the youtube video and this topic in general!
