 * Description:** It is often said that “the future is not what it used to be.” In this information-driven, technology-rich world, where jobs appear and become obsolete in only a few years, it is certainly not your father’s future any more. Retooling our classrooms into learning spaces that effectively prepare our children for a future of infinite opportunity will require a new story about teaching and learning. It must be a story that is so compelling that we forget about our childhood student experiences from decades ago and agree that a different kind of classroom, teaching, and learning experience is required and deserved by our children.

 Your name:Alec Fick Session Title:Telling The Story: Essential Question 1: What stories have you heard, that you tell, about retooling our classrooms, that fit the marketplace? Response: In the past, the marketplace was geared toward muscle power that resulted in a manufacturing based society. Students were taught in straight lines to work at a repetative goal with constant supervision. Today's marketplace is directed more toward creative jobs, such as the arts and entertainment. Consequently, our classrooms need to reflect this shift with more creative, free- thinking tools that will promote this type of behavior in our students. Essential Question 2: What stories have you heard, that you tell, about retooling our classrooms, that resonate with deeply held values? Response: Unfortunately, much of today's schools are using 19th century teaching techniques for their 21st century students. The problems of today have changed considerable and so the solutions need to change as well. Teenage students of today consider themselves more computer literate than there teachers, and rightly so considering the fact that 64% of them have already published their thoughts online. Our students need to become comfortable with interacting with the ocean of information on the internet and be able to seek out those that can help them find what they are interested in. Digs, for example, lets the views of posted information and stories the power to say what is important in their lives and not be dictated by some editor of a new company. Essential Question 3: What stories have you heard, that you tell, about retooling our classrooms, that represent something we can point to and say, "this is what we are talking about"? Response: Just as corporations hold their audience with content, teachers can maintain their classrooms by viewing them as a leaning engine. With all the web 2.0 tools available, from blogging, voice streams, Skype based video conferencing, to Second Life, teachers have the means to teach just by learning to use these new tools. In the process, their students are asked to think more creatively and work in a cooperative enviroment while at the same time building self esteem. - now that is what we are talking about. Summary: This video drives home the need to start thinking about our 21st century students in a whole new light. Teachers need to put aside the 19th century way of teaching with strick order, disciplinaries, and retorick. Our students have been raised in a society with completely new values and we as teachers need to address those. Let's start making the classroom the learning engine that it needs to be.
