Description
Today's youth have inherited a computer-based world and have been bombarded with media since birth, making them a unique group of learners. Our schools have been slow to give up tired paradigms and adopt new strategies to deliver curriculum, thus creating a great paradox for educators: How do we prepare students for a rapidly emerging future using outdated tools and techniques that were developed for an antiquated industrial economy? This session describes how to transform learning for the next generation by demonstrating successful strategies for delivering curriculum that is personally meaningful and socially significant.
