You are the architects of your own future as educators, and hence, you must be visionaries. You know what must be created, you have the knowledge that allows you to imagine, you have skills that will be useful in the future, and you have the care and concern for your students. Define a school that does different things to prepare our students for the future. Information world-wide is doubling every 2 years. The Internet is doubling in size every year and the Web is doubling in size every 90 days.
Technological fluency is a basic skill.
Education must prepare students for jobs that have yet to be invented. Inexpensive compact technology allows access to learning opportunities to take place anywhere. At campfires storytellers share wisdom with students who, in their turn, become storytellers to the next generation. At the watering hole, people share information with neighbors, both from their villages as well as travelers. This is the place where we learn from peers and share the news of the day.
