It is estimated that 1.5 exabytes of unique new information will be generated worldwide this year. That’s estimated to be more than in the previous 5,000 years. Knowledge Creation
For students starting a four-year technical or higher education degree, this means that . . . half of what they learn in their first year of study will be outdated by their third year of study.

“All in all, I enjoyed this student-directed study. It helped me think outside the box, and I got the chance to research deep into my topic of childhood poverty…I was more focused on learning the most I could about my topic. I don’t think that there was anything I didn’t like about this kind of project, and as always, I’m excited to continue using technology to enhance my learning experiences.” ~8th grade SGGS student

Real Question is this: Are we willing to change- to risk change- to meet the needs of the precious folks we serve? Can you accept that Change (with a “big” C) is sometimes a messy process and that learning new things together is going to require some tolerance for ambiguity.
