“Kids these days. If we do anything, let’s make sure we don’t scare them about the future - but comprehend it, align to it - and win with it!” - Futurist Jim Carroll I'm on a stage this morning! In a classroom! In front of teachers! Actually, I'm in my basement, in my studio, but I'll have an audience of 500 teachers in Missouri in 10 locations, with a message about the future of education. Obviously, this school year starts everywhere with a huge amount of stress, effort, angst, worry, anger, fear, terror. One of my main golfing buddies is a Grade 5 teacher - I know he and his wife, also a teacher, are terrified of what the future might bring. It might seem to be an odd time to think about a future beyond the next month or two, but sometimes, we might need to force ourselves to think further. This particular school board is bringing me in for a virtual talk about our future - the world that the kids of today will work in tomorrow. Most teachers are hugely passionate about their role - work with young people to prepare them for tomorrow. And in spite of all the uncertainty around us today with a return to school (for some) in the midst of a pandemic, and a continued march to distance-ed for others - the issue remains: this is all about the kids. And as they do that - regardless of the format, the environment, the worry and concern - it might be helpful (and it might not hurt) for a brief moment to remember why they are doing what they do - to prepare young people for the world of tomorrow. With that in mind, I'm going to show them - virtually - what the world of tomorrow will look like! Here's a sneak peak.
