Education in Transition• Continued shift in enterprise work practices = Work 2.0• Balancing traditional exercises with experiential learning• Community demand for engagement and participation -

collaboration, understanding the relationships and leveraging the interactions are key

• Rapid shift from traditional to new media as underpinning mechanisms to support the educational process

• Harnessing the power of web 2.0 resources and integrate them into the learning process

• Measuring and guiding progress constantly, rather than at the examination only

• Legal framework reform to support emergent pressures on IP, use and re-use, access and identity (the rip, mix and

Reflections and next steps:1. Take steps forward, even if they seem like small ones.

You will go far.2. Think about technology as the enabler of 21st century skills.

Technology is the means, not the end.3. Explore new ways to learn from the experience of others and share what you know.

You will get back more than you give.

“A nation’s wealth in the 21st Century will depend on the capacity of its people to learn. Their imagination, their ability to seek out new technologies and ideas, and to apply them in everything they do will be the key source of economic growth. Their collective capacity to learn will determine the well-being of a nation. The task of education must therefore be to provide the young with the core knowledge and skills, and the habits of learning, that enable them to learn continuously throughout their lives.

...We must ensure that our young can think for themselves, so that the next generation can find their own solutions to whatever new problems they may face. We have to equip them for a future that we cannot really predict.”

Prime Minister (1990-2004)at the 7th International Conference on Thinking
