A second Blog entry in one day – what’s the world coming to?? A friend of mine mentioned a video that has been seen by over 3 million people (in its various versions) in the last 9 months. The video is entitled “Shift Happens” and asks some fundamental questions about the future and provides some startling information. Its purpose is to elicit the participation of people to come up with a system of education for our children that prepares them for the 21st century. Along with the video is a Wiki to give people a forum for discussion and collaboration. Though the video is aimed at the US, there are parallels for Canada. Education is the great leveler in society, and to compete in the new economy our education system must meet the challenge.
