Here is an excerpt from the video:
“The world around us these days is both digital and
global. Technology is diffusing
everything, we’re globally interconnected with people and places that were
never connected before. In this digital
global age that we now live, we’re finding that for the most part our schools
are neither of those. Schools are
supposedly knowledge institutions where we teach kids to be masters of
information, and yet if you look out in the real world beyond schools and
beyond universities at how knowledge workers do their jobs, they’re doing it
all with computers. Here we are
pretending that we’re preparing students for knowledge work in a knowledge
economy, a very hyper-connected, hyper-competitive, global knowledge economy,
and yet we’re doing it with ring binders and notebook paper.”
-Dr. Scott McLeod
I invite you to watch the video. In the comments, tell me what you think. How is he wrong?
