David Warlick: In Rapid Change we Learn by Sharing

Deep Thoughts:

• Strive to be a Master Learner
• We are preparing our kids for a future we do not understand or know
• In rapid change we learn by sharing
• We are preparing kids for the 21st century by using 19th century instruction
• We are not preparing our student for our future we are preparing them for their future.
• The key to educating a student is to teach them to teach themselves
