. Alan November.We need to emphasized the
necessity of students learning with others around
the world and stress that three skills are needed
to teach our children.
79
We need to teach our students to deal with
massive amounts of information
80
2. We need to teach our students global
communication, starting with Kindergarten
81
3. We need to teach our students to be self
directed and understand how to organize more and
more of their own learning
82
We cant avoid learning these tools. We cant
walk away from this Alan November
83
What does it all mean?
84
Shift Happens.
85
Now you know . . .
86
But.. I have a question. Have we changed our
teaching methods to reflect new technology?
Do our students know how to deal with the massive
amounts of information? Do our students
know how to communicate globally? Do our
students understand how to be self-directed?
