  2. Why are you here? • “What year are you preparing your students for? • 1973? • 1995? • Can you honestly say that your school’s curriculum and the program you use are preparing your students for 2015 or 2020?

As a result, the experience of today’s student is the opposite of our own literate-grounded experiences of linearity and hierarchical structures of knowledge commonly accepted and institutionalized in the educational systems that were developed generations ago and that serve as the framework for today’s systems of education.”-Stephen Wilmarth, Five Socio-Technology Trends that Change Everything in Learning and Teaching
