Yesterday’s education consisted of a set of literacy skills, a body of knowledge and the methods for teaching those skills to mostly willing students. Much is new about our world and our information environment. Meeting students’ needs for adapting to rapid changes means reconsidering what it means to be educated, reinventing where it happens and redefining what it is to be a teacher and a student.

Come for ideas to inspire and energize you, ready to expand your perceptions of teaching and learning and consider our future with optimism and excitement. Explore changes and challenges that hold the clues for retooling 21st century education.
