A Day in the Life of School 2.0 -- 2015

I thought Warlick's statement that we need to add "futurist" to our job descriptions was intriguing. Not something I would have thought of (can one major in futurism?!), but I think his point that we are preparing students for a future that we know almost nothing about is significant. It really is mindblowing to think about how much the world has changed in just the last 5 years, not to mention the last 20, 30, 40. A little daunting (but exciting!) to say the least.

I also thought the point he made about computer access (who would ever think of asking students to share a textbook? Though, that unfortunately happens, too) and the fact that the tools we use to communicate with students "...should not have to be checked-out from the media center" were both strong statements about the value that school districts need to start placing on technology. Finally, I liked his concept about creating some kind of universal profile so that people can network across sites like MySpace, Facebook, and beyond. How cool.
